Oh wow, that wasn`t too difficult! Thank you so much!

The expressions determine whether a given drop space is already occupied or not. If it is occupied, it is set to no longer be a drop target. If it is emptied again because the participant is revising her response / changing the ranking, it is set as a drop target again. Otherwise, you'd be in a situation where multiple stimuli could be dropped on the same target (that is: rank position in your case), and that's not what you need if I understand what you ultimately want to do correctly.

The dragging and dropping is working fine in your test1.iqx script. You just need to keep running the trial, instead of just running a single instance.

Hi Dave,

thanks a bunch!
That goes pretty much in the direction of what we need! I have my frames now, and the dragging is working, however, the dropping is not working yet. I am working on my script at the moment, and I have a few questions concerning the example script you posted:

What exactly is meant by p1_count and which expression part is "responsible" for the dropping?

Sorry, I have never used expressions before.
Attached, you can find what I have so far. test1.iqx is running (without dropping), test2.iqx is not running, because I started to write the expressions.


Thank you again and in advance!
M

Thanks for the files. Two things:
- To create a "frame" around a rectangular <shape>, you need to put another, slightly larger rectangular <shape> with a different color behind it.
- Your drag & drop doesn't work because you've specified the drop sources as valid responses. It's the drop targets (drop1 to drop10) that need to be the valid responses.

Overall, this example here should be a good model for what you want to do:

Thank you, Dave!


Thanks a lot, Dave!

Happy to take a look, but please provide the actual script and include all the files it requires to run (i.e. the images, etc.). You can ZIP everything up and then attach it to a post by clicking +Insert -> Add File.

Hi Dave,

I tried to fix my problem by reading this thread, but I wasn't successful so far. I want participants to rank certain words (presented as pictures) by dragging and dropping them into rectangular shapes. Here is my (quick n dirty) script so far:
ITEMS

<item energy>
/1 = "Energie.png"
</item>

<item health>
/1 = "Gesundheit.png"
</item>

<item weight>
/1 = "Gewicht.png"
</item>

<item bodystrength>
/1 = "Körperkraft.png"
</item>

<item bodyattr>
/1 = "Körperliche Attraktivität.png"
</item>

<item bodyfit>
/1= "Körperliche Fitness.png"
</item>

<item bodymeas>
/1 = "Körpermaße z.B. Brust Taille Hüfte.png"
</item>

<item coordination>
/1 = "Physische Koordination.png"
</item>

<item sexappeal>
/1 = "Sex-Appeal.png"
</item>

<item vismusbody>
/1 = "Sichtbar muskulöser Körper.png"
</item>

My questions are:
1. I cannot seem to manage that the rectangle has a frame to make it visible. How can I do that?
2. The Dragndrop does not work, what am I doing wrong?

I know, I could probably find the answers in the ToL script or the other one that you posted, but for some reason I cannot apply those scripts to my needs. Sorry, if I miss the obvious here...

Thank you in advance!
M.

No, not really.

Hi, Just noticed that even if someone aborts the expt, still he/she gets the confirmation code. Anyway to stop that.
Thanks.

The confirmation code is just the subject ID, it's logged in the data file already in the subject column.
