"flash" tabs bug?

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

Hi,

I am trying to make 3 flash tabs. Only the first tab gets formatted correctly, the others are a complete mash and show random data from my device and don’t display the defined content. The data of all 3 individual tabs are correctly formatted when the data is placed of the first tab.

Is this a bug?

I think that there is some hard-coding in the JavaScript that assumes that tab 0 is the only “flash” tab. I’d call it a “known limitation”, though I could be persuaded to call it a bug.

As a workaround, you could convert two of the tabs to JavaScript tabs.

You’re absolutely right. It was a major problem for my RFXtrx plugin as I have defined two flash tabs … until I decide to put everything in one unique tab !
I have not yet checked if it has been fixed in last firmware version (1.5.622).

@lolodomo I run into this while using the latest firmware 1.5.622, the bug is still there. I think I will put everything on one tab like you did, I have no time study javascript now. I hope MCV will fix it in a future release.
