Conditional Change 1 Line

[Mike-1]

I've browsed through these forums and found several plugins that come close to what I am looking for, but not quite. Is therea a way to display, for example an RSS feed on one line until an Email is received, then to display something else ("You've Got Mail" for example) but without changing the screen?

Officially there is no such function, but you can do some tricks about it

You can setup two screens with the same lines except the one that you want to be changed when the condition is changed. (e.g the second line) then goto to actions tab and set the appropriate actions there... so the screens will be switched when a new mail is arrived.

Another way to do some check there, is the Warn ifplugin...
a line like this: $dll(warnif.dll,2,$Email1/1,$Rss(http://www.wired.com/news_drop/netcente ... nter.rdf,b)) may help you.
For more info about the plug-in check the information contained in the package

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have tried the Warn If plug in, is there a way to combine this with the Conditioal Display plug in to display a message rather than just the Email count? If so then this would do exacly what I was looking for.

Fasten your seat belt
$dll(warnif.dll,3,$dll(warnif.dll,2,1/1,$Rss(http://www.wired.com/news_drop/netcente ... nter.rdf,b))/1,You got mail)

What about......

$dll(warnif.dll,11,$dll(warnif.dll,2,1/1,$Rss(http://www.wired.com/news_drop/netcente ... nter.rdf,b))/1,You got mail)

As function 11 warn on greater than or equal to not just equal to. Thanks for the help, I had aa suspicion this could be done but couldn't get started.

Yeah you're right
that function 11...

I'm very happy that you found a solution one step beyond!


I thought that warn if plugin was not so useful.
Just created to warn if the temp level was too high (for an lcd fitted to a server)
