Dear reader,
I have finished programming my study in Inquisit 4 and wanted to put the study online using Inquisit Web.
However, during uploading of the files I encountered a problem. Apparently the total size of all the files may not exceed 40 MB. However, the total size of all my files is about 86,4 MB.
I can do without 1 picture that I use on the informed consent page that I programmed, but I really need the other 1000 pictures and they all need to be 512px by 512px (and of course I really need the script as well). This is very important for the study.
Is there a way to increase the maximum of the total size that Inquisit Web allows for?
Kind regards,
Lin

You can host the images on your own webspace -- that way they will not count against the 40MB limit. To do this, you must include the path / URL to your server where the images are hosted in the item definitions as in
<item someitems>
/ 1 = "http://www.someserver.com/somedirectory/a.jpg"
/ 2 = "http://www.someserver.com/somedirectory/b.jpg"
...
</item>

Good idea! Thanks!

I have one question about that solution:
Does Inquisit in that case still download all the pictures at the start of the experiment or does it download each picture at the moment that it is used in a trial?
I assume it still downloads everything at the start, but my assumptions are not always correct :)

It will download all files at the start, not at runtime, i.e., there will be no difference between hosting the files on your own webspace vs. hosting them on the millisecond.com server.

Perfect :)
