Trigger popups on tag value changing
I have been teaching myself building server projects using tags and having a good time. I want to step up to the next level and achieve the following:
If a server tag (example) has a particular value written to it (either a text string or number), I want to then trigger a popup to open or close. i.e.
If server tag "example" = x
then
open/close popup/page "name_of_popup"
I have looked more into the Javascript thing (i.e. using a tag like a feedback channel) but I am a bit stuck with this element. An advice would be appreciated! The rationale behind this is for multi-control panel projects. If i shut down the system on one control, I want the other controls to also show the 'shut down' screen.
Thanks for the great help as always :)

hello.
Open Popup function here http://dev.iridiummobile.net/GUI_API/en#IR.ShowPopup
Close popup function here http://dev.iridiummobile.net/GUI_API/en#IR.HidePopup
In panel project, you should use EVENT_TAG_CHANGE event for AddListener http://dev.iridiummobile.net/Drivers_API/en#IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE
. in this event you should write script like this
if (name == example)
{
if (value == "open popup")
{
IR.OpenPopup("popup name")
}
if (value == "close popup")
{
IR.HidePopup("popup name")
}
}
I have tried this but I think I have made mistakes - I am not terribly fluent in Javascript:
Server = F10A_Server
Tag = SIM_PBTrigger
Value to activate = 1
Page to open = Navigation
-----------
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE, IR.GetDevice("F10A_Server")),
{
IR.GetVariable("Drivers.F10A_Server.SIM_PBTrigger"), function(value);
{
IR.Log(value);
}
{
if(IR.Log("value") == 1),
IR.GetPage("Navigation");
}
}
Hello Iain. Try this.
-----------
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE,IR.GetDeveice("F10A_Server"),function(name,value){
if(name == "SIM_PBTrigger" && value == 1)
IR.ShowPage("Navigation");
}
Thanks Francesco - I have tried your code but didn't have luck in having it show a page - perhaps my syntax is wrong?
EVENT_TAG_CHANGE work only with native driver.
If you use a custom driver, the event not trigger.
Also, have you any message on log window?
The Driver I'm looking too at the moment is a built-in iRidium Server drive (named F10A_Server in this project). I will check the log and post below:
Which log window should I be looking for exactly? I am testing this by logging into the server and sending a trigger value (in this case 1) however the device does not respond.
Try this
Server.sirpz
Client.irpz
Thanks - will check it out now!
In addition, if I want to trigger more than one thing, what would be the correct syntax? I have used an 'else if' statement to create various states, however can only trigger one action - I want to for example, show a page AND a popup depending on a value:
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE , IR.GetDevice("F10A_Server"), function(name,value)
{
IR.Log("Name = " + name + ", Value = " + value); //For Debug Only
if(name == "SIM_OTTrigger" && value == 0)
IR.ShowPage("System_Start");
else if(name == "SIM_OTTrigger" && value == 1)
IR.ShowPage("Navigation");
IR.ShowPopup("Inputs");
});
Check the { and }
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE , IR.GetDevice("F10A_Server"), function(name,value) {
IR.Log("Name = " + name + ", Value = " + value); //For Debug Only
if(name == "SIM_OTTrigger" && value == 0) {
IR.ShowPage("System_Start");
} else if(name == "SIM_OTTrigger" && value == 1) {
IR.ShowPage("Navigation");
IR.ShowPopup("Inputs");
}
});
Solved - once again thank you. I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to Javascript, so still getting to grips with the syntax. Appreciate your assistance!
Yay! Problem solved:
IR.AddListener(IR.EVENT_TAG_CHANGE , IR.GetDevice("F10A_Server"), function(name,value)
{
IR.Log("Name = " + name + ", Value = " + value); //For Debug Only
if(name == "SIM_OTTrigger" && value == 1)
IR.ShowPage("System_Start");
});
