[CWB] CQPweb 3.3.18 rev. 1883: Set collocation window from and collocation window to to ten tokens

[Jörn Stegmeier]

Dear list,

I am a little stumped. Some of our users told me that they are having 
problems to set the collocations windows in the "Collocations controls" 
section which is displayed by [url]/collocation.php to anything higher 
than "5 to the Left" / "5 to the Right". We are pretty sure that we used 
10 to the left and 10 to the right in earlier versions of CQPweb.

As far as I can tell, there are three locations where one can modify the 
window span for collocations.

There are the settings in the user account ("Your user account details" 
-> settings -> "Collocations options") where the default span for 
calculating collocations can be set to "From 10 to the Left to 10 to the 
Right". Even if this is the case it doesn't change the options in the 
"Collocations controls".

The second location pops up after choosing "Collocations" from the 
"Choose action ..." menu in the concordance window. This is a smaller 
window titled "Choose settings for proximity-based collocations". 
Besides the possibility to choose which p-attributes to include it also 
offers to set the "Maximum window span"  by choosing a value between 4 
and 10.

After clicking on "View collocations" the collocation view offers the 
third location, namely the "Collocations controls" section mentioned 
above. There, the options seem to be always limited to +/- 5 to the Left 
and +/- 5 to the Right for both the "Collocation window from" and the 
"Collocation window to".

Hoping the solution isn't embarrassingly obvious, any hints would be 
welcome as to what I should do to enable our users to choose the window 
spans more freely.

Best

Jörn
