Vibe Recursion

Right I need to use a function for recusion, but I cant make a function in the vibe language so i have to make it in Javascript and use the <? ?> in the function. Can I pass a argument from the function to the vibe language and how can i run the javascript function from the vibe language?

humm, well you can output javascript using the print() command. for example

print("var i=0;");
print("document.write(i)");

so.. for example you can create a function

print("function myJavaScriptFunction()");
print("{");
print("alert(\'hello\');");
print("}");

and then call the function this way

print("myJavaScriptFunction();");

that should do it.

hmm, maybe I should see if I can learn the vibe script language to handle functions, it shouldn't be impossible but don't except it soon thought

Nope dont work. Im trying to use recursion to make the songs recursive in folders when you press the green "+" sign.

but its proving difficu with no functions in vibe.

hmm, well, to be honest I'd think that function support in the Vibe Script Language is required for this case. Haven't thought much about it much before now and I left it out due to the reason that I didn't think I'd come to a situation where I needed it to develop skins.

Although for recursion I'd say the best way is to implement function support in the script language. I'd add it to the to-do list

Meanwhile, if I come up with another idea I'll let you know..

Yah, so hop to it.

haha... jeez man, it's vacation time you know! well well

Hello!

I'm a very new user of VibeStreamer (in fact I just downloaded the software yesterday).
I was a bit (very little bit) disappointed to see that it was not possible to add a folder containing only subfolders in the playlist.
But the good news is that I have a solution. I modified the standard skin to allow recursion on subfolders.

I just had to add few lines in the "process_addfolder.vibe" file.
If you are interested, just let me know. I can give you my code.

Yes please. Does this work for an unlimited amount of folders in folders?

But post anyways.

I suppose there is a limit because I use an array to store the " recursion path". But it works fine on my system ... just test it and let me know.

So here is the code (it's a copy paste of my file 'process_addfolder.vibe')

<script>
<?
var numMP3Files = 0;
var dirs = array();

array_push(&dirs, request_querystring("id"));

while (count(&dirs) > 0) {
var dir = dirs[0];
array_remove(&dirs, 0);


// get files from the current dir
var files = get_files(dir);
var numFiles = count(&files);
//print("alert('files " + numFiles + "');");
var i = 0;
while ( i<numFiles )
{
var file = &files;

if ( file.MIMEType=="audio/mpeg" )
{
numMP3Files++;

print("parent.add_track('" + str_jsafe(file.VirtualPath) + "');");
}

i++;
}

// get the subdirectories
var subDirs = get_directories(dir);
var numDirs = count(&subDirs);
i = 0;
//print("alert('subdirs " + numDirs + " of " + dir + "');");
while ( i<numDirs )
{
var subDir = dir + "/" + &subDirs.Name;
//print("alert('subdir[" + i + "] " + subDir + "');");

array_push(&dirs, subDir);

i++;
}
}


if ( numMP3Files==0 ) {
print("alert('No audio files could be found in the folder.');");
}

?>

parent.g_bThreadFrameIsBusy = false;

</script>

nice work... successfully added 23 folders within one folder... thanks

I know this is an old topic but...

The script above isn't recursive to me... It looks like it is not going to work when I have a folder like this

database/subdir1/subdir2/subdir3

I am a php programmer, but there is no function-support in the vibe-language and that is what it makes so hard to make anything recursive.

What I would like to have is an array with all files in the database, is this possible with the VIBE-language? I am getting stucked with my loops...

Kind Regards,
Tim
