TodayPlus Boards v2

Hello,

I'm a new guy here (I'm french) and I tried TodayPlus last week, it's really great but I have a problem with it.
I don't know how to do to have my owner information at the screen. This information are in my config.txt but not on my screen.

Can somebody help me ?

Thanks

Iznogoud :-)

Which skin are you using?  I remember reading that srs left the "owner section" out of the "slider" skin.

I use the OSX's skin. In fact, I don't know which parameters I need in my config.txt. I think I need to have a section with my owner information and a section with the police, size,....
I have the first but not the second one.

Can you help me ?

Thanks a lot

After reviewing the rgb08's OSX Skin (http://dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=542), it too does not have an Owner section.  It will have to be added to the skin.  Here is the code from srs's "Analog-Weather.com" skin.  
region,0,900,-1
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
changefont,tahoma,12,b
text,70,6,%owner name%,c
changefont,tahoma,12,
text,70,18,%owner phone%,c
text,70,30,%owner address%,c
changefont,tahoma,8,
text,48,45,Version: ,l
version,92,45,r
changefont,tahoma,12,
image,141,0,%owner image%,
offsetadd,0,56
endregion,0,900
You might be able to get it working in rgb08's OSX skin.

Thanks for your help but it doesn't work. I think, I miss something but I don't know what. I added your information in my OSX Complete skin.txt but nothing appears in the screen. I think I need to change some parameters in region or something like that but I don't know what.

Thanks again

Here my OSX Complete skin translate in french, maybe you could help me with it :-)

I will try to play around with it this weekend.  I will need to load the OSX skin myself.  One thing off the top of my head missing after a quick review would be there is nothing to load the owner region.  You could try a "poweron" at the beginning of the skin.  It should look something like this:
poweron,0,900
I will see what I can do this weekend.

Hi I am the new one here.
Follow the steps but still don't work. :oops:

I am using ver 10 slider skin, the owner information is in the config file but I don't see anything in the skin file.  What do I put in the skin file and WHERE? Thanks.

There is no owner information area in slider skin. Easiest way out would be that you switch to a different skin (calendar skin (http://www.dark-mojo.com/TodayPlus/viewtopic.php?t=668) e.g) that shows this information. Otherwise you have to define a new region in slider skin and program its visibility as it suits you.

I tried the calender skin v10 but couldn't get it to run at all. So the next best thing would be to put it in the skin file but I couldn't figure out where or how.

Ok. Here is a quick solution for you :)

Replace the region0 (date area) code with this code. Now you can switch between Data and Owner Info by the click of the clock/owner info image in the left corner. I avoided adding a new region or changing height of region0 because that will be a little more work (may be later I ll do that). So the owner info is not the exact replica of system plugin for that purpose but it present the same amount of information.

You will also need to put the image I attach with in the Images\Colors-3D folder.


region,0,0,-1
defregion,0,0,0,240,20,2
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
offsetadd,0,4
image,5,-1,clock-today.png,t
button,4,-2,18,18,0,4,1-highlight,0,14
changefont,tahoma,14,b
time,30,0,0,5,ls,l,
offsetadd,0,16
changefont,tahoma,11,
endregion,0,0

region,0,1,-1
defregion,0,0,0,240,20,2
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
offsetadd,0,4
image,5,-1,OwnerInfo.png,t
button,4,-2,18,18,0,4,0-highlight,0,14
changefont,tahoma,13,b
text,30,0,%owner name%,l
changefont,tahoma,12,
text,130,1,%owner phone%,l
offsetadd,0,16
changefont,tahoma,11,
endregion,0,1


Thanks that will do for now, but it would be nice for it to be up there all the time.

I added the image to the 3d image folder but it doesn't come up.  It still works for the information. But no button shows.

in your skin file (slider.txt?) check around the top for a line like

options,imagedir,Images\Colors-3D

this Images\Colors-3D is the folder where you need to place the image. If you have a different folder specified here, you need to out the image in that folder. There is also a folder My Icons-3D. Make sure you are not mixing up the two.

I checked it is in the correct folder.

:) I'm out of any clue now. Works like charm for me here.

Here are the two lines which fetch these images..

image,5,-1,clock-today.png,t

image,5,-1,OwnerInfo.png,t

If one works and other don't. I can't say what is the reason other than image being in wrong place or image is corrupt.

Can you try using clock-today.png in the other line too and vice versa to check the image corruption possiblity.

Found the problem, when I copied the ownerinfo.png to the 3D Images file. I used copy and paste.  I forgot that it would rename it ownerinfo[1] that was the problem. Thanks again.

Itanium, thanks, it's working but with the OSX's skin, it's difficult to define the region or maybe I don't know how I need to configure it. In fact, it should be that :-)
I can have my owner image and name but not in the region I want and I can't have it in the back of my screen. I have owner information and weather for example in the same time on my screen. I don't know why, I try a lot of different region and defregion but I don't understand what is it.
For example :
region,25,0,200
defregion,25,0,0,160,40,2
What does it mean in bold ?

Thanks again for your help

Hello to everybody!!!
I'm following your discussion about the code to use to add the owner image. I've downloaded the calendar2 skin, because it's the only one with the owner information! But unfortunately no owner image! I'm not able to add the code you've suggested. In particular I don't know which specific region to replace.
Is it necessary to copy "region 0,0,-1" and "0,1,-1" in two different places or not? Which lines I have to remove? I'm quite a newbie and so I don't understand so much about region, defregion, poweron, offsetadd, offset and most of those strange things you say!!!!!!!!!!!!  :lol:   :oops:   :shock:
I've attached my calendar skin, if necessary!
Thanks for your help
