Title: IF ... ELSE
Post by: arbitrajeu on October 30, 2003, 02:51:50 PM
Oh... any docs on the if... else?  I'd love to start using it.

Would be nice to know if there are any system-defined variables, such as %charging%, %online%, etc.

Post by: srs on October 30, 2003, 02:56:53 PM
basically the only if, else statements available are those in the default skin.  I will add more as needed later.

Great version, but the default skin is quite a new concept :shock:
One of the bug fixe is "countdown number of days is rounded " It wasn't a bug for me, and I liked to see a number of hours before an appointment. Any chance to put this as an option?

Just installed the new version and so far it's darn fast :shock:  :D

btw, checking the forecasttext file, if we add new codes and keep the formatting, it will recognize the new ones and use them?

Thanks again for your hard work, any idea what price you will eventually put on this plugin?

srs,
this version rocks!
I like the comments in the skin file ... this makes it easier for all the non-skinners like me to understand what is going on here.

Great job :D

srs,

I just re-tested the bug about the 15k memory leak when reloading the plugin ... and it's GONE :shock:  :D  :D Not 1 K less :P  (at least when reloading)

Yep, I noticed that as well ... anyway since I don't use the default skin, I didn't complain :oops:

btw, HURRAY for srs (about the mem leak thing) Hopefully more people will be able to confirm this ...  :roll:

Quote from: srs- updateregions command in skin specifies which subsequent regions to update.
Is this the part that is to replace my kludge with 10s refreshes on both my regions (6 & 12 in my skin)?

If so, is it a command called updateregions, or an extra paramete on the standard region command?

Let me add my kudos srs - fab job! I love the new look, and the app is very zippy now, even updates are zippy with all the default feed / pages. I especially like the scrolling window for the rss feeds, and that each section can be toggled on/off independently.

Thanks for the great job!!! -David

Title: Weather Icons and Calendar

2 things to try. First uninstall the older version of TodayPlus, then install the new version. Use the default config and skin files first to check that things are working. The older skins and config files may not work with the current version without a bit of tweaking. Also delete everything in the TodayPlus\buffer folder.

Cheers -David

the countdown command can specifiy three states.  one for when the countdown is >1 day, one for when it is <1 day but > 1 hour, and one for <1 hour.  so when you get to less than one day, you will see the number of hours, etc.

Quotebtw, checking the forecasttext file, if we add new codes and keep the formatting, it will recognize the new ones and use them?

yes

QuoteThanks again for your hard work, any idea what price you will eventually put on this plugin?

it is freeware

my mistake, it should be something like:

memory,progusedbar,etc...

QuoteIs this the part that is to replace my kludge with 10s refreshes on both my regions (6 & 12 in my skin)?

yes, and its a separate command.  you can set the update interval of those other regions to -1, and just say updateregions,<regions to update> in the parent region.

QuoteLet me add my kudos srs - fab job! I love the new look, and the app is very zippy now, even updates are zippy with all the default feed / pages. I especially like the scrolling window for the rss feeds, and that each section can be toggled on/off independently.

thanks for the nice comments :)  the scroll bar is completly arbitrajeu idea so kudos to him :)

Just tried this.  Unfortunately it doesn't display anything in my bar.  I used the command:
memory,progusedbar,70,12,52,5,gradient_green-red gradient.png

TodayPlus just gets better and better with every release.  I like the new scrollbars.  I an idea for a new skin that I want to create, I just need to find the time.  Thanks again srs for a great plugin!  :P

BTW, the version variable is still set to 0.9.6 and not 0.9.7.

Wow...  0.9.7 has been downloaded over 200 times!  This new site has been very effective at expanding the TodayPlus user community.  

Thanks again to srs and the rest of you contributors who continue to make an amazing Today screen.  

:o  (I hardly ever refer to TodayPlus as a 'plugin' anymore!)   :o

yikes !!!  :D

excellent work, NickM

may I ask how you managed to get all those codes ?
Title: TodayPlus version 0.9.7
Post by: NickM on October 31, 2003, 01:21:22 PM
That's simple  :)
If you have at least 1 or 2 "Undefined code" and knows  forecast for it .... Try Google!
You will see 4 or 5 of plugin projects with partial information ...
Just collect this information in one file ...
:)

I'm really apologizing if so, but at least 90% of codes were crosschecked in 2 or 3 sources.
Can you give me the source of your information?

The feed comes from MSNBC.com. You have to make sure that the sync time is the same as the feed time or they end up being off.

Post by: Anonymous on October 31, 2003, 05:04:30 PM
In the new version I dont like how the different sections stack now instead of replacing each other because this causes a scrollbar to appear if i show more than two sections. Can I use the default skin from 0.9.6 with 0.9.7 or will this notwork / cause errors?

Thanks
Title: TodayPlus version 0.9.7

What you found is great work don't get me wrong, I will go through them but it will take some time to do, I should have said some of them are wrong sorry. My cocern was that srs said if you put them in wrong then it is harder to fix, it's not really a big deal. the best way to check is on msnbc. Again i am sorry if i said something wrong.

No problem. :)

Regarding code 20.


According http://forums.lcdc.cc/index.php?showtopic=1406      20=Scattered Showers.
So may be the best way to change it.


Any other suspicious codes? :)
