Is there a way to use 2 liveSend() functions on a page?

[MainlyMe]

Hi, 

I run in errors, when I want to use two liveSend() functions on a page, likely because there is no way to specify, which liveSend() I am calling on my html page. However, I need to send two unrelated values.

Is that a bug or meant to be that way? 

Calling it once with one function works perfectly fine. 

Thanks for the help!

you don't need 2 live methods. you can send your data as a dict with a key that indicates which type of message it is, and have your live method check that key to decide how to handle it.

Sounds good, will try that!

It's not always easy for non-programmers to transfer the examples given in the docs to somewhat more complex applications even though this might be obvious for people that do programming every day. But since otree targets people with various backgrounds,  I think an example with more than one value might help others too. :) 

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback :) there is an example here: https://otree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/live.html#data

Does that help?

Hi Chris,

I got it working with your comment from before, but I am sure this helps other people that might run in the same issues. 

Thank you! :)

Hi! I'm trying to integrate live pages in my experiment. 

I am trying to understand exactly how the live methods work to implement them correctly, is the tic-tac-toe game code available somewhere?

Thank you!

Hi Chris... another question:

If I am not using groups, is it necessary to use the id_in_group inside the dictionary when sending data to the page?
