/** * ===================================== * TriggersEnable * * PURPOSE: * TriggersEnable sets global variables to indicate that the current script is * no longer suppressing triggers. This function will also turn off trigger * suppression altogether if there are no other scripts suppressing triggers. In * order to be suppressed, a script called via trigger should use the * TriggersAreActive function to decide whether or not to run. * * RETURNS: * True (1) if TriggersEnable successfully removed the current script from * the list of scripts suppressing triggers; False (0) otherwise. * * PARAMETERS: none * * REFERENCED VARIABLES: * $$~DISABLETRIGGERS * $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS * * DEPENDENCIES: none * * EXAMPLE (script): * Set Variable [ $ignoreMe ; TriggersDisable ] * # Do something * Set Variable [ $ignoreMe ; TriggersEnable ] * * NOTES: * This function should *always* be used in pairs with the TriggersDisable * function. * * HISTORY: * MODIFIED on 2010-12-13 by Jeremy Bante of The Support Group to use names suggested at * filemakerstandards.org. * CREATED on 2010-12-12 by Jeremy Bante of The Support Group. * * REFERENCES: * The TriggersAreActive function: http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1247 or http://www.fmfunctions.com/fid/289 * The TriggersDisable function: http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1248 or http://www.fmfunctions.com/fid/290 * The TriggersEnable function: http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1249 or http://www.fmfunctions.com/fid/291 * The TriggersReset function: http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1250 or http://www.fmfunctions.com/fid/292 * ===================================== */ Let ( [ ~lastScript = GetValue ( $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS ; 1 ); ~enableTriggers = Get ( ScriptName ) = ~lastScript; //boolean indicating script name match $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS = If ( ~enableTriggers; RightValues ( $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS ; ValueCount ( $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS ) - 1 ); /*else*/ $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS ); ~scriptCount = ValueCount ( $$~DISABLETRIGGERS.SCRIPTS ); $$~DISABLETRIGGERS = If ( ~scriptCount ; True ; /*else*/ "" ) ]; ~enableTriggers or not ~scriptCount //ScriptName was found and removed, or there are no suppressing scripts )
