The Basics
A pulldown for your room has two parts to it:
- What a chatter sees when they click on the pulldown
- What is posted in chat once they select that pulldown
To add a pulldown message to your room in your admin screen you add a line like:
what to display in the pulldown##What do post in chat along with any text
Here are examples of pulldowns you can create.
Example 1: Simple Pulldown
Hello##Hello my friend
When you click the pulldown you will see the word Hello. When you select Hello and select a chatter in the user pulldown and type a message in chat the world will see:
[YOU] Says to [Selected Chatter] Hello my friend {and whatever message you typed}
Example 2: Placing the recipients name
If you want to place the name of the chatter receiving the pulldown message at a specific spot in the pulldown message you can place a $r$ at that location.
Hello##Hello $r$ my friend
When you click the pulldown you will see the word Hello. When you select Hello and select a chatter in the user pulldown and type a message in chat the world will see:
[YOU] Says Hello [Selected Chatter] my friend {and whatever message you typed} ....... See how the placement of [Selected Chatter] has changed?
Example 3: Displaying an image
When a user selects a pulldown you can display an image in what gets posted.
Hello##Hello have a beer $r$ and enjoy <img src="url to some picture">
When you click the pulldown you will see the word Hello. When you select Hello and select a chatter in the user pulldown and type a message in chat the world will see:
[YOU] Says Hello have a beer [selected chatter] and have fun {the picture you provided} and {whatever message you typed} ....... Now the placement of the [Selected Chatter] has changed and now a picture is also displayed.
Example 4: Adding icons to the pulldown text
While adding images to pulldowns are a challenge one can add icons. To do so you need to get the code for the icon from here: https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_emoji.asp. Then create your pulldown using the code:
Welcome ⛪##Welcomes $r$
The code ⛪ will display as a tiny house icon ⛪.
So go ahead have fun with pulldowns in your room.
