Compressing the experiment for JATOS

  Hi Marko,

  That's a common confusion, and exactly the reason why we changed the extension from .zip to .jzip.

  If you want to edit an HTML/JS code, you should:

  1. Install a local JATOS instance. Run it locally.
  2. Import your .jzip study onto your local instance.
  3. Find your assets root folder (it's shown on your local JATOS landing homepage)
  4. Edit those files locally on your computer
  5. Create an updated .jzip by exporting the study from your local JATOS. You can them import this modified jzip on your server.

  Here's another page that describes this.

  Hope this helps

  Hi Marko!

  Just to add my 2 cents, it usually is possible to unzip a .jzip file (it's after all a ZIP package), change it and then zip it again. But whatever you change has to be in compliance with the JATOS study archive standard. But this standard is not complex and it's usually okay to e.g. edit a JS file or add an image. But some ZIP programs, especially on Windows, seem to produce a ZIP that is incompatible with JATOS. You can try a different ZIP, e.g. 7-Zip.

  Best,

  Kristian
