Re: [Bibdesk-users] JXA ScriptHook

[Christiaan Hofman]

Thanks, I fixed them. Missing parens and the “in” should be “of” in the 
for-loop.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] JXA ScriptHook

[Mahmood Shafeie Zargar]

That sample script has a problem in the for loop, as well as in fetching the 
property value. That still doesn't work for me.

But this one works:


function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, {forScriptHook : 
theScriptHook }) {

var theName = theScriptHook.name();

var theID = theScriptHook.id();

var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();

var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();

var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();

var theKeys = [];

var theTitles = [];


for (var i=0, aPub; aPub=thePubs[i]; i++) {

theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey());

theTitles.push(aPub.fields.byName("Author").value());

}


var app = Application.currentApplication();

app.includeStandardAdditions = true;


app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" + "Cite 
Keys: " + theKeys + "\n"  + "Titles: " + theTitles + "\n" + "Field name: " + 
theField + "\n" + "Old values: " + oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + 
newValues, { buttons :["OK"], defaultButton : 1 });

}


Best,
Mah

I haven’t tried using JXA script hooks, but I think they should work. Though it 
could be JXA hangs BibDesk, because of bugs with JXA (that Apple says aren’t 
bugs but just how it works), that will be fixed in the next release.

Here is the JXA version for the sample script hook:

function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, { forScriptHook : 
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id<http://thescripthook.id/>();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];

oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + newValues, { buttons : ["OK"],

}

It works for me, at least with the current nightly.

Thanks! Very useful.

It definitely doesn't work here (1.6.22 (4794)).

Where can I get the nightly?

Here is the JXA version for the sample script hook:

function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, { forScriptHook : 
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];
for (var aPub in thePubs) {
theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey);
}
var app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" + 
"Cite Keys: " + theKeys + "\n" + "Field name: " + theField + "\n" + "Old 
values: " + oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + newValues, { buttons : ["OK"], 
defaultButton : 1 });
}

It works for me, at least with the current nightly.

[Bibdesk-users] JXA ScriptHook

[Mahmood Shafeie Zargar]

Hi,

I would like to know where I can find an example of a script hook written in 
JavaScript.

I have tried things like this to no avail:


functionperformBibDeskActionWithPublications(pubs, scriptHook) {


}


The function code runs, but no value is loaded in the parameters.
