We seem to be unable to create a new questionnaire from an existing template. While we can edit the template, if we try to create a new questionnaire with that template, we receive an error message saying, "The survey does not exist".
We are using Moodle 1.5.2.

We have the same problem (also using Moodle 1.5.2 + (2005060222)). Despite the error message, copies of the template questionnaire are added to the list of template / public questionnaires to choose from every time you try to create a new questionnaire. Is there a way to delete these copy questionnaires?

Hi Markus -
If you use the latest version of the questionnaire module, available at the downloads page, that problem is fixed. Additionally, there is now a cron task that will clean up any 'orphaned' questionnaires.

The reason we were unable to create a new survey from a template was the presence of a single apostrophe (') in the "info" field of the template survey's entry in the questionnaire_survey table. I went in and removed the apostrophe directly using phpMyAdmin and I can now create surveys using that template. I suspect that other people who are getting the same error might have the same problem, and the same resolution should work for them.
This resolution is really a workaround, though. The insert_record function call in the survey_copy function in
mod/questionnaire/phpESP/admin/include/function/survey_copy.inc
at about line 46 should not be bombing because of the apostrophe. Is there a way to fix this?

It is probably fixed in the latest version. You are using an older version. The latest one no longer has a 'phpESP' directory.
