REDCap module: Modify Contact Admin Button

Modify the behavior of the 'Contact REDCap Administrator' button by redirecting the user to a configurable url. The url should be provided as part of the external module configuration. A series of parameters may be added to the URL to make details about the current REDCap user and project available to the target form.

Prerequisites

• REDCap >= 8.0.0 (for versions < 8.0.0, REDCap Modules is required).

Installation

• Clone this repo into <redcap-root>/modules/modify_contact_admin_button_v<version_number>.
• Go to Control Center > External Modules and enable Modify Contact Admin Button.
• Still in Control Center > External Modules configure the module with a URL of a web form. You may also include parameter name-value pairs to be appended to the URL. For example, you could provide the URL of a REDCap survey used for service request intake. Lastly, activate this module for all projects.

Features included

The following values may be selected to be appended to the URL:

user_firstname
user_lastname
email
project_id
USERID

The USERID field contains the redcap username.

For example, using the configuration below:

the rewritten target URL might look like this:

https://redcap.example.org/surveys/?s=DUPrXGmx3L&gatorlink=jdoe&project_id=14&redcap_username=jdoe

To use the appended parameters, make sure the parameter names you chose coincide with the names of the fields in the target REDCap survey.
