In this posting I’ll be showing you some of the new user interface associated with scripting.
\n
\nFirstly, when you upload your script to the on-line repository, you’ll see a somewhat modified dialog.<\/p>\n

\"001.jpg\"<\/div>\n

(oops. Ignore the User ID and Date fields. Those will disappear for the released version)<\/p>\n

In a similar fashion to user-contributed plans, you specify a category for the script, and also some (optional) keywords.<\/p>\n

Note that you can upload and overwrite a script only if you were the original creator. If not, the dialog will warn you and disallow the upload. Only registered users can upload scripts.<\/p>\n

Uploading scripts is now handled automatically by the server. In V1.x, it required some interaction from me before a script was posted.<\/p>\n

When you download scripts, you’ll see a completely new dialog, that is reminiscent of the user-contributed plan download window (see a previous post).<\/p>\n

\"scriptdl.jpg\"<\/div>\n

The list of scripts is now hierarchical and allows you to show scripts in various ways, just like the user-contributed plans.<\/p>\n

There’s also a dialog that lists your scripts and allows you to delete them. No longer do you have to ask me nicely.<\/p>\n

\"deletescript.jpg\"<\/div>\n

Finally, a whole new concept: Event scripts. You can specify scripts to be run when various events occur. For example, when a plan document is opened, you might want to run a script automatically to compute some user-defined fields, etc.<\/p>\n

Here’s the (preliminary) dialog that allows you to select the events to be scripted.<\/p>\n

\"scriptevents.jpg\"<\/div>\n

You can specify an event script either as just for the currently open plan document, or globally for all plan documents.<\/p>\n

Oh, yes, I should mention that scripts that are run more than once are now only compiled on the first run, so that the second and subsequent runs are considerably faster (typically a few milliseconds), since the scripts are actually compiled down to machine code, not interpreted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
