Known issues and upcoming features for Template 2.0
I update this list to remind myself what needs doing. It changes and is probably incomplete. Let me know if you want something added or want to help with anything, even if it's just testing whether it works with different browsers. Also, let me know if you want to use it, but one of these issues prevents you from doing so — some of these are easy to fix and you may just need to prod me a little.
Known issues, to do, upcoming features:
Priority: low, medium, high- Answer formats:
- Don't know whether response times get saved for checkboxes; probably need to modify before this works.
- For textfieldlist answer type, response times don't get saved.
- Needs to be tested with different browsers — maybe you can help? I always test in Firefox 3, but I've made some changes since testing with the following browsers, so some of this may be out of date:
- works with Firefox 3
- seems to work with Opera 9
- seems to work with Safari 4
- seems to work with Google Chrome 2
- seems to work with Internet Explorer 7
- seems to work with IE 8
- Test with IE 6
- let me know if you find it to work/ not work with other browsers.
- Add option to present cases randomized but with different pages
with questions adjacent to each other, like this:
Cases 2 2 2 0 0 0 1 1 1 Page w/ questions 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 - Setting "Force = false" now skips the questions correctly in the data file, but it also skips the header for omitted questions. This means if the first subject skips any questions, these questions will not have variable names written to the data file. (Note Sept 2010 -- maybe thI fixed this; I don't remember and don't have time to test -- I always use
Force = true) - Randomizing questions and also blocks of questions now works
(you glue an array of one or more non-random questions to a random one to form a
block). However, if you have non-random questions in between two blocks of
randomized questions and these blocks have equal length, the non-random question
in the middle will end up interrupting the longer block whenever it is
randomized to come first. The place to fix this is probably to improve this
line:
NewQuestions.splice(NonRandomQuestions[i].originalOrder,0,NonRandomQuestions[i]);
You can currently work around this by simply not having randomized blocks questions of unequal length.
