New Echo Features

Written by: webDOMinator 2 years and 5 months ago

In webDOM 3, there is no more Status & Info section on the main webDOM window. That's all in it's own window now. The problem then arose "then how does a plugin tell a person information easily through echo?"

We took out some tricks from our magic bag and made a see-through, click-through window that shows the echoes needed. This same echo window is also used for telling the user things automatically like when autogathering is complete. Since it's semi-transparent, it takes up no desktop space and it's like it's not even there. You can even control this through File > Preferences in the main menu up top.

Different ways to use echo...

Written by: webDOMinator 3 years and 6 months ago

Straight output text...

Code

echo:hi


Echoing Variables...
Code

var:myvar=4+4
echo:var.myvar



Echoing Literals and Variables together...
Code

var:myvar=4+4
echo:Four plus Four is ^var.myvar


Echoing other things like the time...
Code

echo:sys.date^ ^sys.time
echo:List size: ^wd.list.count^, Current User: ^wd.curinfo


Any equation statement or phrase can be output to the status bar. Echoing is also good for figuring out what's going on with code...
Code

loadplugin:myspace
loadlist:currentlist
if:true:wd.list.count<<31700
echo:List count is less than threshold, adding 300 people
navigate:global.browseurl
autogather:300
echo:Autogather done!
endif
//do other stuff :)
echo:Other stuff done!
