[open] Continue only after completion of form

Daniel

Hi all,

I have a form with 6 rating scales and a continue button. Is it possible to only let the continue button work if participants have filled out all rating scales (and give a message to do so, otherwise?). This should function similar to the consent form, where they can only continue if they have checked the 'accept' box.

Thanks!

Edwin

Hi Daniel,

Did this in the past with a bit of a lame workaround: just keep re-executing the form until a response is given. Maybe a standard feature would be nice: a form_rating_scale with an option to continue only when a response is given.

from libopensesame import widgets

exp.set("question1", None)
exp.set("question2", None)
exp.set("question3", None)

while self.get("question1") == u'None' or self.get("question2") == u'None' or self.get("question3") == u'None':
    form = widgets.form(self.experiment, cols=[1,1], rows=[1,1,1,1,1])
    title = widgets.label(form,
        text='Geef aan in hoeverre de volgende stellingen van toepassing zijn op u')
    question1 = widgets.label(form, text='Ik kan moeiteloos een route, die ik nooit eerder heb gelopen, precies teruglopen zoals ik hem heen heb gelopen', center=False)
    question2 = widgets.label(form, text='Als ik me in een gebouw bevind waar ik nooit eerder ben geweest, kan ik moeiteloos wijzen in de richting van de hoofdingang', center=False)
    question3 = widgets.label(form, text='Als ik een herkenningspunt (gebouw, monument, kruispunt) zie dat ik meerdere keren heb gezien, weet ik precies van welke kant ik dat herkenningspunt eerder heb gezien', center=False)
    ratingScale1 = widgets.rating_scale(form, var='question1',
        nodes=['Helemaal wel van toepassing', ' ', ' ', " ", ' ', ' ', 'Helemaal niet van toepassing'])
    ratingScale2 = widgets.rating_scale(form, var='question2',
        nodes=['Helemaal wel van toepassing', ' ', ' ', " ", ' ', ' ', 'Helemaal niet van toepassing'])
    ratingScale3 = widgets.rating_scale(form, var='question3',
        nodes=['Helemaal wel van toepassing', ' ', ' ', " ", ' ', ' ', 'Helemaal niet van toepassing'])
    nextButton = widgets.button(form, text='volgende')
    form.set_widget(title, (0,0), colspan=2)
    form.set_widget(question1, (0,1))
    form.set_widget(question2, (0,2))
    form.set_widget(question3, (0,3))
    form.set_widget(ratingScale1, (1,1))
    form.set_widget(ratingScale2, (1,2))
    form.set_widget(ratingScale3, (1,3))
    form.set_widget(nextButton, (0,4), colspan=2)
    form._exec()

Good luck!

Fyi, Lotje described a slightly different solution a while back, which doesn't require scripting. (Other than that, Edwin's approach works fine as well, of course.)

Cool! Thanks for the suggestions! I'll pass it on to the people who are struggling with this
