About deployMethod

[x-ji]

There seems to be some confusion surrounding the submission of experiment results:

• Currently there doesn't seem to be a value for deployMethod which works when the participant directly accesses the experiment via a link but without any crowdsourcing service. I wrote deployMethod: directLink in the documentation. Would that be fine? This needs to be implemented.
• This part of the functionality seems to be incomplete for now. i.e. if the deployMethod is Prolific, then the experiment should automatically show a slide at the beginning asking for prolificID, and the submission procedure might also be different?
• @stelaseldano I remember that you were intending to use something other than the original scripts/submit_to_server.js for the submission, and skip submitting any actual experiment results to MTurk server altogether. Are you continuing to implement that? If so then maybe we should remove the submit_to_server.js and mmturkey.js in the scripts folder here and edit the submission process.

We can keep submit_to_server.js but I will need to update it. I think we can still submit the results to MTurk, too, just so we have them there. A submission to their servers needs to be done anyway (so that they can mark the HIT as successful). I will look at what Prolific needs apart from the prolificID and make that work, too.

Should be resolved in the current version
