Topic: Ask the DJ Script Advice
I am trying to map a pad to flash once a request is received and then when I click the pad it will open the ask the DJ sideview tab. Looking at forums I can get the pad to select the sideview tab with (sideview 'askthedj://') and I can get the button to flash using this script (get_askthedj_unread ? blink 400ms : param_equal `get_browsed_folder` "Ask the DJ" ? goto_last_folder : browser_gotofolder "askthedj://"). However when I get a request cliking the pad does nothing and I have the select the tab manually. Once I've selected this and the flashing has stopped the pad will then open the ask the DJ file. Has any one a script that will achieve my outcome or am I asking to much? Thanks in advance.

( get_askthedj_unread ? blink 400ms : ) & param_equal `get_browsed_folder` "Ask the DJ" ? goto_last_folder : browser_gotofolder "askthedj://"
 
@ Locodog,
Exactly the same problem here. With the given script use then nothing blinks but the message has come in. So I use my old script again so that I at least see something coming in.
 
@Locodog

The problem seems to be in the first part:
"get_askthedj_unread ? blink 400ms :"

If a message comes in and the blinking starts, nothing happens when you press the button. But if no message has come in, you can switch browsers.

Thanks for your response. "& &" was the solution. Everything works fine again.
 
This is what I use, dont remeber who helped me do this but it works great !

get_askthedj_unread ? blink 375ms & up? show_splitpanel 'sideview' on & sideview 'askthedj://' : nothing : sideview 'askthedj://'? on & up? sideview 'askthedj://'? show_splitpanel 'sideview' off & sideview 'Sidelist' : show_splitpanel 'sideview' on & sideview 'askthedj://' : nothing : off & up? sideview 'askthedj://'? show_splitpanel 'sideview' off & sideview 'Sidelist' : show_splitpanel 'sideview' on & sideview 'askthedj://' : nothing

Wow.., that's quite a story, but it does work.
