@emre, if i try to add a new custom keyboard automation command button WITH formatting i get the below error. If i dont add formatting and just add the automation command the button is blank as no formatting is set, but when pressed it behaves correctly. if i add any formatting such as button colour, header, font, size etc then the following error happens and samba closes

Hmm… Seems like you exceeded maximum allowed field size for Custom Keyboard value…

thats thrown a spanner in the works, are you able to increase the size?

4

I will. Until that you can gain few space by renaming <linebreak/>'s to <br/>'s.

LOL, that custom keyboard code looks absolutely insane.

Yep, the field in the database is too small for your keyboard code!

We need a program to decipher his code! LOL I would go crazy trying to customize that especially if you want to change a specific button. Hopefully we can come up with improvement soon for you. Syntax highlight would be a start.

Good idea!

Hmm… I wonder if we might be able to define Custom Keyboards in a section similar to Automation > Scripts, then in the field that RickH has shown above, you link to the “Keyboard Script”, via <handler>.<keyboard>

Yeah… With V3 features became a rule… Now everything becomes scripts lol…

I’ve added {CALL:x} support for menu category’s custom keyboard setting.

Ive not used the call and script features before could you give me an example of how it would work in the custom keyboard so i can replicate?

Im assuming i setup the scripts for each button and then just use {CALL:X} in the custom keyboard for each button?

So the custom keyboard settings would be something like

“{CALL:Discount}”,"{CALL:Price Change}" etc etc?

12

Im no pro but my thoughts would be along the lines of something like this might make editing keyboard easier

function(keyboard 1) {
    var key1 = ' "<button code>", '
    var key2 = ' "<button code>", '
    var key3 = ' "<button code>", '
    var key4 = ' "<button code>", '
    
    var keyboard1 = key1+key2+key3+ key4
    
    response = keyboard1
}

Sure someone else can offer a ‘sexier’ option :slight_smile:

13

Yes @JTRTech that’s the idea.

@RickH that will work on next update (.51)

Depending on you use of variables I would probably add a bit of a layout diagram comment to help visualize it.

/*
Keyboard Keys Layout

|  KEY 1  |  KEY 2  |
|  KEY 3  |  KEY 4  |

*/

You could just dump the whole lot in but variables would defiantly help with amendments.
