Custom commands - Result shown in a Window?

[D-an-W]

Been trying to get the result of a custom command to be displayed in a window :confused:

For example :- site rules

Any help...please!!!

are you talking about fullscreen internal editor window?
just put checkmark on "Display result in a edit window"

I got that ok, but I wanted to add a custom command so I don't have to type stuff...:p

When you make a custom command, the help-tab (that displays what commands can be used) includes the window parameter, and a brief description. To have the custom command's output pop up in a window, you need to start the command with the window command, that'll pop up the window, and go from there.

&window site rules
500 '&WINDOW site rules': command not understood.
window site rules
500 'WINDOW site rules': command not understood.

Thats what I am getting so far...This ain't gonna beat me:mad:

Okay, D-an-W, here's what you do;
Start the custom command with '&window' on the first line, then do the site command on the next. That way the result will be echoed to the window rather than the log-window. It might still be logged tho, if you have logging enabled. I never bothered to check that..Anyhow, that's about it.
