JATOS Fluffy Watermelon

on GitHub

New Features

• Complete overhaul of Worker & Batch Manager page:

  
  • Unifying 'Worker Setup' and 'Batch Manager' into one page 'Worker & Batch Manger' - see all batches and all workers in one page
  • Simpler creation of worker links with a 'Get Worker Links' button
  • 'Refresh' button for each batch get current worker and result numbers
  • 'All Workers' button shows all created workers (even the ones that didn't run a study yet)
  • 'Groups' button shows all groups of a batch in a table
    • Includes which workers are members, start and end dates, and current group state
    • Show and edit group's session data

• Results pages:

  • Allow exporting of metadata, that are the actual result table data, like Result ID, Start Time, State, ...
  • Searching in result data

• Allow an URL base path to make JATOS server URLs like www.example.org/somepath/jatos/ possible

• Changes in jatos.js:

  • To load jatos.js <script src="jatos.js"></script> is now enough
  • Batch and group session's 'onSession' callback got additional parameter 'op' which presents the patch operations applied during the session update
  • Conveniently all functions that start a new component (e.g. jatos.startNextComponent) now additionally allow sending of result data. What was before jatos.submitResultData(resultData, jatos.startNextComponent)is now just jatos.startNextComponent(resultData) which also uses only one HTTP call and therefore is faster.
  • Provide MTurk's worker ID in jatos.urlQueryParameters.workerId
  • jatos.submitResultData and jatos.appendResultData now allow String or Object as parameter

Fixes

• Fix bug in direct group messaging

If you update from an version of JATOS < 3.1.12

Since 3.1.12 email addresses are turned into lower case thus making foo@foo.org equal to FOO@foo.org. Therefore you must check before the update whether you have users in JATOS that have the same email but with different capitalization, e.g. foo@foo.org and FOO@foo.org, and delete them so that only one of them remains. You can check which users you have and delete them in your JATOS' User Manager.
