Hi all,
My Talking Dashboard scripts just got a big update: the template engine now
supports if statements, and you can even nest them as far as you want! The
syntax is a bit tricky to get used to, but it will all be in the readme
file.This means you can now customize the template based on, for instance,
whether bluetooth is on or not, of if it's before or after 12:00 PM, and so on.
I'm now adding and refining keywords to make this work more smoothly, but I
think you will all be happy with the result. Here's a peek at the new wifi
template, just to give you an idea of what to expect:
set template to "${$wifiOn$?${$wifiConnected$?You are connected to $ssid at
$signalStrength DbM.$:You are not connected to any wifi networks.$}$:Wifi is
currently disabled.$}"
So, you have an if statement that says to say one thing if wifi is on, and
another if it is off. Inside the "wifi is on" part, you have a nested if
statement that defines one response if you are connected to a network, and
another if you are not. The programmers on here probably already picked up on
the syntax, and the rest are likely looking at that mess and panicking. If you
are the latter: relax. I'll do my best to make the templates make sense so you
don't need to change them, and the format of the new if statements is really
not as bad as it looks once you get used to it. I just wanted to give you all a
look at what I've been working on in the last few days. Stay tuned for a
release sometime in the next week or so.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
