Currently I'm getting familiar with Custom Clock Helper, I'm really new
at that. I've added a custom macro to my plugin and I'm able to use
that from the SuperDateTime settings page to get the value to show up
in other places. The step I'm missing is how to use that in Custom
Clock Helper to get it to show up on my Controller.
Is it possible to make param 2 and 3 of the AddDisplayItem API call
available to the Jive-based devices? That really has all the data I
would need. I know that is designed around the two lines on the older
hardware but it might be a nice option to have. In order to make use
of the newer screens, we could use the custom macro or the new
addCustomSportsScore or something else we come up with.
I'm not sure how dynamic it could be. If I make a call to:
addDisplayItem("PGAScores", "PGA Leaderboard - $TourneyStatus",
"$Position $Player $Score ($Thru)", 'L');
for example, it would be nice to be able to use %PGAScoresLine1 and
%PGAScoresLine2 in a Custom Clock design script. Where %PGAScoresLine1
is "PGA Leaderboard - $TourneyStatus" and %PGAScoresLine2 is "$Position
$Player $Score ($Thru)".
But I don't know how difficult that would be to implement for both you
and erland. Just throwing that out there.
