Newbie Reference - Quick Start Guide.

TodayPlus eleven is more advanced than the older versions, and has more code ability, such as sunrise and sunset etc. The older versions used the skin file to access the features, while version 11 uses an easy  configuration file, to enter the basic information. Things that had to be hard coded before now can be done in the config file, such as owner information, Latitude and Longitude, shortcuts,rss feeds,weather and city information. Some users became very dependent on visual hard coding of the TP txt file and didn't like the change. I really liked the change a lot.

i followed the instructions but i dont see slider.txt . as an option the box is blank nothing to select

[Tetsuo]

Do you put the slider.txt into the "skins" directory ?

[joelw135]

Yes, all skins go there.

[Tetsuo]

[Armageddon]

Which version do you use? 0.11 or 0.10?
Have you check your skins directory? Have got the file slider file the extention .txt?
Have you try with another skin file like hammerskin for example?

[Armageddon]

I can see slider.txt I only try to help Envy. Well Envy, you have to set right path, then

[Marv]

Help! I followed the instructions and syncronized the City, but now it doesn't show up in the today screen. Please help! Yes I do have it checked in the Today settings.

[joelw135]

Are you saying that the weather for your city doesn't show, or that TP doesn't show? If TP doesn't show make sure your path in config file is set to the proper directory. Example if the buffer file and image files are in the TodayPlus directory point the config base path to TodayPlus directory.

Also if this is a original TP you must set your clock back at least a year then load TP then restore your time to proper setting. This must be done after each reset.

[Marv]

TP won't show
I haven't tried setting the clock back, but what do you mean by redifining the directory?

[Marv]

Ok. Tried the clock thing and it worked. However, it now doesn't load. Please help.

You say "it worked"...   But what isn't loading ??  
Did TP load at all ??    

[Marv]

Yes. It did load. Once. But I am running ThemeDream and I think that it interfered with it somehow. Nothing works though. No icons, no clock,  no nothing.
