Millisecond Forums

I downloaded a fresh version of an Inquisit 4 script, WeaponsIAT.iqx and registered a script to run that as is with all images etc in the folder, and the script ran without an error message but went  straight to the thank you page.

It runs on the desktop too as both iqx and .txt files.

the relevant url for running these is:

thank you

Patrick,

that IAT script is set up to assing subjects based on the groupnumber / groupid

<expt >
/subjects = (1 of 2)
/groupassignment = groupnumber
/ blocks = [1=targetcompatiblepractice; 2=attributepractice; 3=compatibletest1; 4=compatibletestinstructions;
                5=compatibletest2; 6=targetincompatiblepractice; 7=incompatibletest1; 8=incompatibletestinstructions;
                9=incompatibletest2; 10=summary]
</expt>

<expt >
/subjects = (2 of 2)
/groupassignment = groupnumber
/ blocks = [1=targetincompatiblepractice; 2=attributepractice; 3=incompatibletest1; 4=incompatibletestinstructions;
                5=incompatibletest2; 6=targetcompatiblepractice; 7=compatibletest1; 8=compatibletestinstructions;
                9=compatibletest2; 10=summary]
</expt>

and your launch page does not provide / generate one. Hence none of the conditions apply and nothing will be run.

Dave,

I edited the web script to include group numbers randomly generated, generated a new launch page, uploaded it to the web site after removing the old one.

Same result, just skipping through without any message to the help page.

I also tried removing the experiment properties of /groupassignment and editing the web script again without a group id as a requirement. Same result.

I have gone  back once again by putting a group number requirement but again, no change.

regards,

Patrick

Dave,

I have tried other options like a random participant number and now  I get the message from inquisit, Group ID is  not defined for both the modified iat we wish to use and for the WeaponsIAT downloaded script (I v 4).

I have searched the forum for this error without success and looked at the documentation in Help similarly no luck there.

I don't get a chance to enter the group number as you do when testing on the desktop. I do get a chance to enter subject numbers when that choice is chosen in registering the scripts.

If it  helps the two links to test the IAT's alone outside of the batch file are:

<h1>session 1: <a href="http://wsww01.csumain.csu.edu.au/psysurveys/jih/session1/part1/inquisit.htm">Click Here for Part 1</a></h1>
<h1>session 1: <a href="http://wsww01.csumain.csu.edu.au/psysurveys/jih/newIAT/inquisit.htm">Click Here for Part 2</a></h1>

The problem is still the same. None of your launch pages provide a groupid, yet your IAT script expects one to run. Two ways to fix this:

#1: Have the page generate a groupid and pass it to the script as required. For that look at the standard template for 4.0.2.0 available at

https://www.millisecond.com/web/launch.4.0.2.0.aspx

and pay attention to the GetSubjectNumber() and GetGroupId() functions in the page's source. You'll want to model GetGroupId() after GetSubjectNumber() to have the page generate a random number to use as groupid.

#2: Modify your scripts to not require a groupid. I.e., switch /groupassignment to 'subjectnumber' or 'random' wherever necessary.

Sir Dave, though I think a Baronacy might now be in order.

All now working.

I modified the inquisit.htm file to include the following snippets:

=====================
My attempt at modelling the GroupID on SubjectId
=====================
// get the Group number
GroupId = GetGroupId();
if ( GroupId == null )
{
return;
}

and

==========================
My attempt at generating a random group ID
==========================

function GetGroupId()
{
var gnum = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000000);
return gnum.toString();
}

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Patrick

Great! Thanks for the update & glad it's working now.
