There seem to be other problems in the SPSS Export routines. For example, the line that creates the variable $typeMap is commented out in export.php // $typeMap = $this->_getTypeMap(); But it gets referred to throughout SPSSFieldMap in export_helper.php... |
 |
Menno, can you take this one please? |
 |
will have a look |

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=9564 |
|

Did a quickfix... needs rewriting to a proper export class to fit in the regular export screens and allow export of timings and selection of fields to export. |

If possible I'd love to be in the loop on the (eventual) rewrite. For my installation of 1.92+ I created an export to Stata function, that both exports to Stata format, but also does a better job with date variables, and which has an option to recode -oth- (other) values to a numeric mask. Once SPSS export is working on 2.0, I am planning to move my Stata code over to 2.0 and was hoping to get it incorporated into the application. But I won't bother if the whole SPSS export function will be majorly revamped very soon. Sadly I'm only moderately skilled with PHP, and brand new to Yii, so although I'd love to volunteer to rewrite the whole thing, that's clearly beyond my expertise at this point. (Sorry if this is the wrong place to contact y'all about this...if so please advise!) |

nwinter, I guess the rewrite will take place earliest for 2.1 - that's when we will be starting to head for a plugin-architecture - not only for data explort plugins. |
|
|
Excellent. I'll pass along my modifications to this fixed version, to add Stata functionality. Might those modifications make the distribution version, given that 2.1 is probably a ways off? And, when I do so, should I start a new "bug" report in the "User Patches" category? (And finally, thank you for all your hard work on this fabulous application!) |

We will only take that Stata export into the core if you agree to take care of it during the next couple years. None of the core developers is using Stata so we won't be able to maintain that code and have to rely on you. Later when the plugin architecture is available you should move it to your own plugin and so continue to maintain it yourself. Does that sound feasible to you? |
|
|
Absolutely! Thanks. |
|

Ok resolving for now :) Will think about the rewrite of export spss/r to see if i will do it before 2.1 or not. |

New Version 2.00+ Build 120930 released. If you are using 120926 you should be able to update by ComfortUpdate. All earlier versions need to update manually. |
