Hi everybody,
This is probably a question for David and the team at Daden
predominantly, but I thought it would be best to post to the group in
case anybody else either knew or had found a solution.
Is there a way of obtaining the values of counters in a particular
PIVOTE session directly using the web service? i.e. a parameter(s)
that can be set in the HTTP Get request that will return the counter
value at that time rather than a node's contents.
A potential workaround to achieve this would be to set up a node(s)
whose contents effectively print out the counter values in a machine-
readable manner, but I was wondering if anybody knew a more elegant
solution?
Thanks,
Luke

Yes
I believe so. We have been doing something similar on a new project
we have been working on. Essentially we use a score counter and this
is permanently displayed on a users HUD while they complete an
assignment. This score is constantly updated in real-time as they
gain points for completing tasks and answering questions.
How
to technically implement this is a very good question and i would put
it to David during Thursday's session. I will be creating little bite
size tutorial guides on how to implement functionality like this in
the coming months :)
Luke does that sound like what you need to know?

Yep we can give details on Thursday but with PIVOTE 1.2 any "visible"
counters are now passed back by the web service with every call within
a <ctr> tag so that the interface can pick them up and then "announce"
them on the PIVOTE channel to any listening objects who can then
display them as required.

Thanks Andrew, that's exactly the sort of thing that I was looking to
do. I'll definitely ask David about how best to implement that from a
technical perspective on Thursday.
I may well have a few more specifically technical things to ask as
well. Will there be a chance to ask these on Thursday, or shall I post
them to this group? I'm conscious that I don't want to bore everyone
present on Thursday asking too many specific questions that are of
little interest to anybody else!
Many thanks,
Luke

Yes there should be enough time on Thursday. But i would encourage you to use the group as not all community members are attending and someone might be wondering the same thing or have the answer you require!
See you virtually thursday
