Progress bar + conditionals.

[Twilight in Zero]

Is it possible to use a progress bar inside a conditional? Was it ever possible? Will it ever be possible? I'm trying to use conditionals to position information depending on whether album art is present or not, and the progress bar is all that's broken.

Hate to start a new topic for such a short question, but that's all I got for you.

In order: No, no, and I hope so.

I wish this was an option.  The progress bar is one of the few things (The only thing?) that you can't put inside a conditional.  About all you can do is put the progress bar on a line that's not affected by album art.

*sigh.* Oh well. I guess I have to rethink where the bar will go. Or keep the info in one place.

Do you think I should go to the WPS tokenizer thread about this?

No clue.  I'd suspect no.  You could file a feature request assuming there isn't one already.

Couldn't you just have the progress bar below all your conditionals? What did you have in mind? I might be picturing it wrong.

I imagine he wants to have the progress bar take up the full line if there's no album art, and only half the line (the half without the art on it) if there is album art.  Other themes do this with text, but none do it with the progress bar (because it's currently not possible).

No, that's not it... Here's a picture of my WPS.



The information in the center is supposed to move down when there's album art. The area on the bottom has already been edited to make room. Everything works but the progress bar.

Oh.

Same thing, though, really.  I assume you're doing it like so:

PSEUDOCODE:

Code: [Select]

if(albumart) {} else {title}
if(albumart) {} else {band}
if(albumart) {} else {album}
if(albumart) {title} else {progressbar}
if(albumart) {band} else {time}
if(albumart) {album} else {}
if(albumart) {progressbar} else {}
if(albumart) {time} else {}

Which is syntatically similar to what I thought you were doing:

Code: [Select]

if(albumart) {progressbar 100 wide} else {progressbar full width}

Something like that. Except I just started using customline. The part we're concerned with looks like this:

Code: [Select]

# This is the part of the WPS used if Album Art is present.
# The %?C tag comes AFTER the customline -- VERY IMPORTANT!
%e|16|130|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<%s%xda%?it<%it|Unknown Title>|>
%e|16|143|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<%s%xdb%?ia<%ia|Unknown Artist>|>
%e|16|156|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<%s%xdc%?id<%id|Unknown Album>|>
%?C<%pb|6|2|140|172||>
%e|2|181|138|1|FFFFFF|%?C<%al%pc%ar%pr|>
# This is the part of the WPS used if Album Art is NOT present.
%e|16|78|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<|%s%xdX%?it<%it|Unknown Title>>
%e|16|91|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<|%s%xdY%?ia<%ia|Unknown Artist>>
%e|16|104|124|1|FFFFFF|%?C<|%s%xdZ%?id<%id|Unknown Album>>
%?C<|%pb|6|2|140|120|>
%e|2|129|138|1|FFFFFF|%?C<|%al%pc%ar%pr>

Basically what I do is make all the customlines, and use conditionals to determine whether anything will actually be displayed on them or not.

%e doesn't work in conditionals, and it's ugly if I code it that way anyways.
