11/30 - Threshold Thursday!

Also while I do joke about the jQuery thing a lot, I don't disagree with you on the more abstract level of "being a good coder means you should leanr to evolve past it / don't start with it to begin with" I just like the tainted nuance of "scripting for mTurk only". Also I just like giving you shit

Ask @THFYM its about the nicest compliment I can pay a person to not get VanillaChrisTurk

Here:

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         M - Survey Tool
// @version      1.0
// @namespace  https://turkerhub.com
// @description  This will seek out and destroy surveys that have the stupid URL parameter mistake and fix it so you can click the link w/o fiddling with the address all the time. It'll also prevent "oopsie" submissions on the default survey template.
// @author       ChrisTurk
// @include      /^https://(www|s3)\.(mturkcontent|amazonaws)\.com/
// @grant        GM_log
// @require      https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js
// ==/UserScript==

if ($( 'body:contains(CLICK HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY!)' ).length) { _fixURL(); }
verifySurveys();

function _fixURL() {
    console.log('this survey link may be broken, lets give it a gander and buy it a goose');
    $('a[href*="qualtrics"]').each(function(){ // not necessary to do this.. but why not
        var url = $(this).attr('href');
        if (!/\?/.test(url)) {
            console.log('url parameter is wrong, lets fix it');
            var newUrl = url.replace(/&/, '?'); //we can be lazy and do it this way because regex will only find and replace the first match. if you added a g after the /&/ it'd replace them all - don't do that here.
            $(this).attr('href', newUrl);
            console.log($(this).attr('href'));
       } else {
            console.log('url is fine');
        }

    });
}

function verifySurveys() {
    // lets poke around and see if this HIT is likely to be a survey, and if so prevent autosubmission & nasty mistakes that may cost us a rejection
    if ($('#surveycode').length !== 0) {
        console.log('boy howdy we got ourselves a regular ol fashioned mTurk survey right chere boyyy lets prevent ourselves from autosubmitting this varmint');
        $('#surveycode').attr('required', true); // gee that was easy.. wonder why mTurk never thought of this incredibly complex and genius solution :rolleyes:
    }

}

When I put a comment that says "not necessary" I think that says all that needs saying.

 

Freaking love when my reasoning project is the true crime type

 

Who said anything about others?

This will not be tolerated. I spent way to many seconds trying to get there

 

So many surveys today. My head is starting to hurt. On the bright side though, I've already hit my $40 daily goal and it's only 11am.

 

Are you logged in? Does it show any errors in the console if you press F12 (Chrome)

Yes please. Otherwise if it updates from the original author it wont propagate to TurkerView and people will be running outdated versions of scripts, which will be a headache for the original author when they start tagging them asking whats broken. Plus, respekt and all that. Probably 800 other good reasons not to upload other folk's work but those are the two biggies that came to mind to me
