A widget to send a message/announcement/quote etc to a Shoutbox widget.
The given scenario is that you want to share a message with the the dashboard viewers using a simple curl request.
From your Dashing Dashboard's directory, use the command:
dashing install 3401cd33d5375bbac81d
Just include a widget with a data-view of Shoutbox and you're done!
<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
<div data-id="shoutbox" data-view="Shoutbox" data-title="Shoutbox"></div>
</li>
Now you just have to send the curl that contains the message and optionally a type.
curl -d '{ "auth_token": "[AUTH_TOKEN]", "message": "Hey, Look what I can do!", "type": "alarm"}' http://localhost:3030/widgets/shoutbox
- alarm
- alert
- angry
- birthday
- black
- celebrating
- christmas
- funny
- happy
- love
As a bonus, this widget can also play a sound when status is modified. Just add one or more data-*type*sound attributes with the value set to an absolute or relative url pointing to an audio file.
Each time the type will change, the widget will play the audio file associated to the new status.
Example:
<div data-id="shoutbox" data-view="Shoutbox" data-title="Shoutbox" data-funnysound="/mp3/funny.mp3"></div>
To use the included sample of mp3 files, add public folder contents in public folder of your dashing installation. Of-course you have to clone this repo first.
Special thanks to the Dashing HotStatus Widget author as this widget is nearly forked from the HotStatus widget.
