How to allow participants to download a Plain Language and Debriefing Statement from Inquisit 5

ianrt — Wed, 03 May 2017 21:50:11 GMT

I am just about to run an MTurk study where the participants read a Plain Language Statement at the beginning of the study and a Debriefing statement at the end. These are currently embedded in the script as images. Our Ethics Committee requires that participants have the option of downloading both of these statements and I can't find a way of doing this other than to direct them first to a Qualtrics survey where the PLS is downloadable then to Inquisit and then back to another Qualtrics survey with the Debriefing statement OR getting them to enter their email address in the first Qualtrics survey and then emailing them the debriefing statement individually (which would be fun as we are wanting 300 participants). Is it possible to embed downloadable pages in an Inquisit 5 script?
Thanks

Sorry, this is confusing. I think we're talking about two different things here. If you click the "download" button next to your web script in your account

a file with an *.iqzip extension will be downloaded to your computer. This is a simple ZIP archive. That archive contains the script (the *,iqx file) and any other files you uploaded to the millisecond.com server along with the script. Here: It will also contain the file "finish.htm". You can open the IQZIP archive with Inquisit Lab -- this will automatically extract its contents and open the script. Put the IQZIP on your Desktop and open it. You'll get a new folder on your Desktop that holds the script and other files. You can edit any of those files in whatever way you need to.

For the record: I did all of the above. I downloaded the file and confirmed that, yes, the finish.htm file is included as I said.

I can't say much about the other issue, but I would guess that for whatever reason the Inquisit Lab installation on your home computer is broken. Uninstall it. Download the latest version from the homepage (https://www.millisecond.com/download ), and do a fresh installation.

If that doesn't help, Windows' installer system has a habit of sometimes breaking for no good reason. Microsoft provides a small app at

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

which will attempt to automatically diagnose and fix the problem.

Hi Dave,
I've tried both of these things here at home, including uninstalling and reinstalling Inquisit 5, both on my PC and my laptop. and when I open the iqzip file it only opens the script not the finish script. I've opened to folder which is sitting on my desktop and it has two things in it - my script and the finish htm file. When I open the htm file I get the actual page not the script. I have to go into the office in a little while and will try there too but its not looking hopeful.
Thanks again
Jenny

Yes, that is what is supposed to happen / exactly what I described in my previous response.

> I've opened to folder which is sitting on my desktop and it has two things in it - my script and the finish htm file.

This, too, is exactly what is supposed to happen. Everything is working exactly as it should.

> When I open the htm file I get the actual page not the script.

You can use a simple text editor such as Notepad or a dedicated HTML editor to edit the HTML file. That's how it's supposed to work. The HTML file has nothing to do with your script, i.e. it isn't part of it.

Hi Dave
I finally have the script ... sorry for being such an idiot ... but I've not done this before.

Hi Dave,
Just a thought .. the debrief statement works fine but we are using MTurk workers for this study. They will likely want to uninstall the Inquisit player from their local machines and they aren't given the option. Is there anyway to do this on a custom finish page?
Thanks
Jenny

[/quote]

Yes. You can simply include a link to https://www.millisecond.com/support/uninstall.aspx on your custom finish page (i.e. your "finish.htm" file).

[/quote]

OK I get that this is possible but I have looked at the Inquisit documentation and cannot find how to do this. What sort of command do I need to put in the custom finish page to include this link. I'm sorry I'm being such an idiot but neither I nor any of my colleagues know how to do this.

[/quote]

This not something you will or should find in the Inquisit documentation. You edit the HTML file, and you already know how to put links on it: It works the same way as with your PDF files.

[/quote]

To illustrate / give you a template, I've added a link to the uninstall instructions to your finish page here:

http://research.millisecond.com/bolderoj/kimina1.web

You can download, view and edit the file as discussed previously in this thread.

THANK YOU!!! I would have not got that quite right. I owe you big time as we say here!

Hi Dave,
Sorry for the incomplete reply I just posted. Everything is now working fine except the finish page. Rather than coming up the a link to download the PLS it actually displays the content of the finish page (which can be viewed at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3554932/finish.htm.txt. Note I've added the txt to the file handle because you said not to post htm pages. Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Jenny

[/quote]

Hi Dave,
I also just realized that you can't download the PLS. I put the following into the text on the opening page but the link is not active. "The Plain Language Statement can be downloaded here:
<a href=" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3554932/PLS.pdf ">PDF</a>" which is what you suggested. Again, could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Best
Jenny

[/quote]

Hi Dave,
I've just gotten the PLS downloadable. I had the wrong address - to my own dropbox rather than the dropbox in the cloud - but I still can't get the finish page to work. The dropbox address for it is https://www.dropbox.com/pri/get/Public/finish.htm?_subject_uid=3554932&w=AAAtQaRLizfaNlQEf2MiEMj9lxWDqP9mbaEYxK0ETL1e6Q. Hopefully you can tell me what I've done wrong :-(

[/quote]

The finish page needs to be a HTML file (you just can't *attach* HTML files here, in this forum, which is unrelated to your Inquisit Web account). You upload the file -- finish.htm -- to your Inquisit Web account along with all the other files (the script, any images the script requires, etc.). You then select finish.htm as the custom finish page to redirect to in the "Finish Page" step in your web experiment's settings. That should be all.

[/quote]

Hi Dave,
I've tried both uploading the finish page both with the script and on the finish page and in both instances the finish page flashed on the screen and then displayed the actual text of the htm file on the screen. The script is at http://research.millisecond.com/bolderoj/kimina1.web. I also have another 'problem'. The PLS and the Consent form are displayed in the script as html pages. On a laptop the whole page is not displayed and you need to scroll down to read all the text but the cursor is inactive on these pages and the 'press the space bar to continue' instruction is displayed at the bottom of the screen. How do I make the cursor active on these pages?
Thanks for all your help

> the finish page flashed on the screen and then displayed the actual text of the htm file on the screen.

No. That's because you have created a HTML file *that displays* something that looks like HTML code. I've fixed that for you and upload a properly encoded HTML file.

See for yourself here: https://scripts.millisecond.com/bolderoj/kimina1/finish.htm

> How do I make the cursor active on these pages?

You need to set /inputdevice = mouse in the script's <instruct> element. I've fixed that for you as well, and you can test it via your link:

Hi again Dave (you must be sick of me!),
I've been trying to figure out how to how to download the finish script but I can't see it in my account. I need to edit it for another study I'm running. Is there an easy way for me to get it?
Thanks again.

If you click the download button next to the listed web experiment in your account, the finish.htm file will be included in the *.iqzip file along with the script.

Hi Dave,
I downloaded the script at work yesterday and it downloaded just the .iqx file and dif have the finish.htm file in it. When I tried to download the file on my PC at homeI get the following message I get an Inquisit 5 message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavilable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Inquisitx64.msi' in the box below. The Use source entry is C\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.T. Then I get another Inquisit 5 message (in another popup window) saying "Please wait while Windows configures Inquisit 5" which just does nothing. If I click OK to try again I get another message "The path 'C\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\Inquisit64.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package package 'Iniquist64.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product Inquisit 5". I am getting a bit frustrated with this as I'm sure you are.

You can put a download link for the Plain Language Statement on your experiment's launch page (or -- if you prefer -- in your announcement on MTurk). Similarly, you can upload a custom finish page (HTML file) containing a download link to your Debriefing statement and redirect your participants to that custom finish page via your web experiment's settings.

All these things would happen outside of your actual script, i.e. the script itself would neither contain the Plain Language Statement nor the Debriefing statement (or any links to either).

Hi Dave,
Thanks for this. I may be being an idiot but I can't see how to put a downloadable link on the launch page. Is there something I'm missing? Also, with the custom finish page how do I put in a download link. Sorry for being an idiot but I'm just not familiar with doing this.

Have you put the statements online already in some downloadable format (e.g. PDF files in a public Dropbox folder or the like)? If so, you merely put the link to the respective document in the launch page's body and in a HTML file (for the custom finish page) which you can create with a HTML-capable editor of your choosing. You then merely upload the HTML finish page file along with your script and select to re-direct to that page in the web experiment's settings. Does that clarify?

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much. I'll try this but I'm not really familiar with any of it so I may need some more help. I don't have a public Dropbox folder but will try to create one and then see if I can link it on the launch page. None of the people here (Melbourne Australia) know how to do this so we're on a steep learning curve :-)

Here's a quick example of a PDF download link on a regular launch page:

http://research.millisecond.com/test/plsdebriefexample.web

The PDF is hosted on Google Drive in this case, but it would work essentially the same with Dropbox or any other method of hosting the files.

The text you put into the "Enter any text you'd like to display on the launch page (optional):" field in your web experiment's settings is something along the lines of

The Plain Language Statement can be downloaded here:
<a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0BwXTttjjK3zgbDlUajZWd3RpZzg">PDF</a>

(replace the part in bold with the link to your respective file)

[/quote]

I've also added redirection to a (very simple) custom finish page to the above example. Like the launch page, it has a download link for a dummy debriefing document (PDF) hosted on Google Drive. The respective HTML file is attached, and you can view / edit it with a simple text editor (think: Notepad).

You need to remove the .txt extension from the attached file (the forum doesn't allow uploads of files with .html extension for security reasons).

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave!! Your help is really appreciated. Jenny

Hi Dave,
Everything is working fine except the finish page. I put a link to it
