09 Feb 2010, Stefan Ritt, Forum, custom page - flashing filled area
|
One possibility is to use small GIF images for each valve, which have several frames (called 'animated GIF'). Depending on the state you can use a static
GIF or the flashing GIF. An alternate approach is to use a static background image, and display a valve with different color on top of the background in
regular intervals using JavaScript. I tried that with the attached page. Just create a custom page
/Custom/Valve = valve.html
and put all three attachments |

15 Dec 2010, Stefan Ritt, Info, New source file structure of MSCB tree

A long planned modification of the source file structure of the MSCB subsystem has been implemented. This is however only for those people who do actively
