Survey-ranking plugin not working

[geneva-x]

Hi, I'm trying to use the survey-ranking plugin in an experiment. All the other survey plugins seem to work just fine (like the 'trial' var I included below), but when I try to add this 'difficulty' var to the timeline it doesn't show up in the experiment. Am I doing something wrong or is it malfunctioning? I noticed that it didn't have a demo page on the jsPsych website like all the other plugins.

I'm also using version 7.1 if that changes anything.

var difficulty = {
  type: jsPsychSurveyRanking,
  prompt: "Please order these by difficulty, with the easiest at the top.",
  options: [
    "1",
    "2",
    "3",
    "4",
    "5",
    "6"
  ],
};

var trial = {
  type: jsPsychSurveyText,
  questions: [
    {prompt: 'What is your date of birth?', placeholder: 'mm/dd/yyyy', required: true},
    {prompt: 'What country do you currently live in?'}
  ],
};

That is because ranking is not a standalone plugin, but a supported question type under the survey plugin.

How would I use it in the code?

Read through the docs for yourself. The documentation is quite clear on that point.

Hi @geneva-x, here's how to set up your ranking question using the latest version of the survey plugin:

var difficulty = {
  type: jsPsychSurvey,
  survey_json: {
    elements: [{
      type: "ranking",
      name: "ranking-question",
      title: "Please order these by difficulty, with the easiest at the top.",
      choices: ["1","2","3","4","5","6"]
    }],
    showQuestionNumbers: false
  }
};

Does that work for you?

You can find more examples in the Examples section on the survey plugin docs page, in the survey plugin examples folder, and on this new documentation page called "Building Surveys in jsPsych".

You can also find documentation and examples for the ranking question type in the SurveyJS documentation here: https://surveyjs.io/form-library/examples/add-ranking-question-to-form/jquery.
