I am working on a Pybossa based crowdsourcing platform. In the task presented I am stuck on the following code -
$(".btn-submit").off('click').on('click', function(){
var answer = $("textarea#text").val();
$("#viewport_" + task.id).hide();
pybossa.saveTask(task.id, answer).done(function(data){
deferred.resolve();
$("#success").fadeIn();
setTimeout(function() { $("#success").fadeOut() }, 2000);
})
});
This code is for fetching the reply and storing it as answer
What if I have many questions in a task to which user replies, structured as follows -
Q.1 This is question 1?
Q.2 This is question 2?
Q.3 This is question 3?
And the user replies to these in separate text forms -
answer1
answer2
answer3
How do I store multiple answers, in a way that Pybossa can also take weighted average of each while calculating results (For example via Golden Tasks.) I would also like to know how Pybossa evaluates answers.
I want to do a similar thing. The solution I have so far is to construct a Javascript object and save it into the taskrun results. Later I will parse this and extract the fields I want.
I create an HTML form:
<form action = "">
<input placeholder="First Name" type="text" name="firstname">
<input placeholder="Last Name" type="text" name="lastname">
<select class="span2" name="gender">
<option value="Male">Male</option>
<option value="Female">Female</option>
</select>
<button class="btn btn-submit">Submit!</button>
</form>
Then in the pybossa.saveTask method construct an answer object:
var firstname = $("input[name='firstname']").val();
var lastname = $("input[name='lastname']").val();
var gender = $("select[name='gender']").val();
var answer = {
firstname: firstname,
lastname: lastname,
gender: gender
};
But this doesn't answer the second part of your question, ie how to enable PyBossa to take a weighted average of results.
