Progress bar

[fliessbachja]

Hi everyone, first time using pcIBEX, so hope this question isn’t too stupid:

Is there a way to change/delete the word “progress” beneath the progress bar? Because it may distract participants that do not speak English.

Many thanks for your help.

Hello Jan,

Yes, you can set the showProgressBar and progressBarText variables, as described in Ibex’s manual. Example:

PennController.ResetPrefix(null);
var showProgressBar = false;

newTrial( newButton("Test").print().wait() )

Hi Jeremy,

This question is also related to the progress bar: I’m trying to delete the progress bar in all html forms but not in the test trials. I keep failing to do it properly. The only code that did seem to work somewhat was this:

var defaults = [      "PennController",{hideProgressBar: true}
                ] ;

Unfortunately, using this piece of code deleted hides the progress bar from all trials too, and I just want to keep it out of the consent and debrief forms. Is there a way of doing this? I can give some more code as to how the forms are introduced too.

Hi Sander,

Use .setOption on the PennController trials for which you want to hide the progress bar, e.g.:

newTrial("intro",
  newHtml("intro.html").print()
  ,
  newButton("Next").print().wait()
)
.setOption("hideProgressBar", true)

Template( row => 
  newTrial( "test" ,
    newButton(row.Text).print().wait()
  )
)

newTrial("end" ,
  newHtml("end.html").print()
  ,
  newButton().wait() // wait here forever
)
.setOption("hideProgressBar", true)
.setOption("countsForProgressBar", false)
