Alert/Warning after pressing SButton

[Grarak]

You know Andrei

If this is about adding a notify/listen to SButton, then yes please! 👍

[AndreiLux]

SButton already has notify listen capability (on the APPLY event). (All elements have capabilities, check the Wiki)

Grarak wanted to have a popup window with custom message yes/no accept/cancel bla/blubb before executing the action in the button, it's something separate.

[osm0sis]

Okay I'll have to reread it. I wasn't sure tapping a button counted as an Apply. If I wanted to listen for a button trigger what would the to: be? I wasn't finding that part very clear.

Thanks again for your time and efforts.

[AndreiLux]

I listed all events of all elements in the Wiki and when they're triggered.

If you have an SButton with action:"poop here", you can define a listener in another element X and specify the to as to:"poop here", and the listener in X will fire off the do: event on X whenever you press the SButton.

Or you can do it the other way round and do a notify block inside of the button, with a to:X. It really depends on which variant is easier to define depending on the amount of targets.

[osm0sis]

Haha perfect examples! And thank you for listening to my poop. :P

[AndreiLux]

Generally just follow the following sentences:

Notifier:

On my event, notify to target and do this to him.

Listener:

Listen to target for on event, and do this to myself.

Well you can rephrase is several ways, but you get the gist of it.

Just sent you a FC report from trying my SOptionList refresh as a notify in the SButton. I identified the to: for the SOptionList by its action if that helps.

[AndreiLux]

I pushed out a new version which fixes the issue.

[osm0sis]

Confirmed fixed. Thanks! Does a refresh only refer to the current choice of a SOptionList? I was hoping it would also refresh the available values list, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

[AndreiLux]

How can it refresh something which you define at boot in a separate script? No.

[osm0sis]

There are usage cases where the values parsed for a SOptionList could change (read from a directory, for example); allowing them to be reread by a refresh event would be a powerful extension to Synapse. I understand your reservations however. Thanks for your consideration.

[AndreiLux]

It's not possible to "refresh" something like that because values are
populated by script of which the app is totally unaware of.

If you'd like an API for re-setting values at run-time then that would be
something different, we're no longer talking about simply refreshing here.

It's a bit far-fetched in terms of use-cases, what do you want to use it
for?

It's probably a bit outside of the originally "intended" scope of Synapse, but I made kernel backup/restore functionality like Trickster and franco.Kernel updater allow. :D

It uses a SOptionList (reading a file list from a directory) to let the user choose a backup then SButtons to provide actions to perform on the selected kernel image, like Delete and Restore. The only problem is when creating or deleting a backup the SOptionList can't reread the directory to update its values.

I've worked around it by adding a button which removes the config.json, runs uci again and then restarts Synapse but obviously that's a huge hack and native support to refresh/rebuild SOptionList values on the fly would be more ideal, and powerful. :)

There is probably a more "normal" usage case that could make use of this functionality too, but this is the one I've got in front of me. Thanks again for your time and consideration. 👍

[AndreiLux]

I'll look into it.

Thanks! Also, sorry @Grarak for unintentionally hijacking your issue thread. 👍
