I'd like to set up a block which updates its text every second, but also does something else when clicked. Is this possible? I don't see anything in the documentation, or in the issues (although I might've missed it there). Something like this:

[testblock]
command=./repeatingscript
interval=1
onclick_command=./onclickscript

where repeatingscript would run every second, and onclickscript would run when clicked.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

This is not supported natively, but you can get away with some script that can be used to trigger both of these scripts. Like this

[testblock]
command=./masterscript.sh
interval=1

masterscript.sh looks like this

if [[ ${BLOCK_BUTTON:-} == 1 ]]; then
  ./onclickscript
else
  ./repeatingscript
fi
