I was informed by Cinemar that the new web designer (the one that creates iPad, Android, Nook) scenes will not support special characters in the variable names that contain `~!@#$%^&*()[]{}?<>
As we all know, HS has these devices names with those characters. I am having them write me some scenes for the iPad and now I am stuck. I have about 150 variables that have this issue. My first option is I am going to have to write 150 server based rules to mirror these BL variables to usable ones.
I was wondering/hoping, is would it be reasonable to add a cross-reference option on the setup page to instruct the plug to use a different blml2hs variable in ML? I mocked up a setup screen to illustrate how this could work.
So, in this example attached, device code )1 would create/maintain the following variables in ML:
blml2hs_bl1
blml2hs_bl1_code : Note this would contain the HS Code )1
blml2hs_bl1_last_changed
blml2hs_bl1_name
blml2hs_bl1_ref
blml2hs_bl1_value
I would propose adding one more variable
blml2hs_bl1_mlcode : would contain bl1
I would be willing to donate to the effort - it is either this or I got about 150 server rules to setup and maintain to mirror changes to these variables to cleaner variables that the tablet scenes will support.
Thanks for your help
