Value from user variable as block title (SOLVED)

[Maikel76]

Hi,

I cannot get this code to work, could anyone please help me?
I would like the value of an user variable v3 (value is 'Jan' as String) as the title of a block 161, which is a virtual switch
(code based on solution in viewtopic.php?t=34903)
v3 and block 161 are defined in CONFIG.js
custom.js:

Code: Select all

function getStatus_v3(block) {                                       //guest1
  var idx = block.idx;
  var device = block.device;
  if (parseString(device['Value']) != '') {
      Dashticz.setBlock(161, {
         title: 'test', //guest1
         icon: 'fas fa-walking'
      });
  } // end if
} // end function

What am I missing?

Did you add v3 to a column? If not, the getStatus function will not be called.

Yep I did;
CONFIG.js:

Code: Select all

blocks['g1'] = {title: 'Guest1', idx: 'v3', width: 4}
...
//Other
columns[6] = {}
columns[6]['blocks'] = [17,23,136,31,133,142,161,24,162,94,18,104,159,92,71,21,frames.player,96,32,'s1',60,12,141,'g1','g2','graphLifePO']
columns[6]['width'] = 12;

i cannot use

Code: Select all

blocks['v3'] = {title: 'Guest1', width: 4}

without specifying idx, because then the page wont load properly
also tried on column[3] on the main page because [6] is a seperate page, also the title doesnt change
just updated Dasticz to the latest version, still no title
Any other suggestions? I generate a different title for the AC block, only difference that I can see is that in this case this is a user-variable, so theoretically not a 'device'
I tried this without result too;

Code: Select all

function getStatus_v3(variable) {                                       //guest1
  var idx = variable.idx;
  var variable = variable.device;					//here device looks like a property of the domoticz unit
  if (parseString(variable['Value']) != '') {
      Dashticz.setBlock(161, {
         title: 'test', //guest1
         icon: 'fas fa-walking'
      });
  } // end if
} // end function

I'm still running domoticz 2022.1
These are my user-variables in domoticz;

If you have:

Code: Select all

blocks['g1'] = ...

then in custom.js you should use:

Code: Select all

function getStatus_g1

So the last part of the function name should be the same as the key you used for the block.

Did you try that already?

tried that, strange thing is that id i change it to g1, the dashboard is not (fully) loading; background not correct, i see a switch that is hiding according to its status and tabs are not working, i have to scroll to the specific page and there the title is still not changed
Do i change that back to v3 then its working again
I do use buttons functionality for menu buttons like this;

Code: Select all

buttons.pg1bedroom = {
  width:2,
  title:'Bedroom',
  slide:5,
  key:'pg1bedr'
};
buttons.pg1roon = {
  width:12,
  title:'Click to browse music on Roon',
  slide:6,
  key:'pg1roon'
};
buttons.pg2home = {
  width:11,
  title:'This is the Climate page, click to go back to the Homescreen',
  slide:1,
  key:'pg2home'
};
buttons.pg3home = {
  width:8,
  title:'This is the Lights page, click to go back to the Homescreen',
  slide:1,
  key:'pg3home'
};

i dont use the g1 variable anywhere else (doublechecked)

parseString is not a javascript function, so you have to remove that.

Try the following:

Code: Select all

function getStatus_g1(block) {
  var device = block.device;
  if (device['Value'] != '') {
      Dashticz.setBlock(161, {
         title: 'test', //guest1
         icon: 'fas fa-walking'
      });
  } // end if
} // end function

This assumes you have defined blocks['g1'] in your CONFIG.js, and have added 'g1' to a column. 161 must also have been added to column.

Excellent, thanks a lot Sander, this is the final code;

Code: Select all

function getStatus_g1(block) {                                       //guest1
  var device = block.device;
  if (device['Value'] != '') {
      Dashticz.setBlock(161, {
         title: device['Value'],
         icon: 'fas fa-walking',
         textOn: device['Value'] + ' is Home',
         textOff: device['Value'] + ' is out'
      });
  } // end if
} // end function
