configuring today plus...?

[Blazingwolf]

You shold be able to use the file that scotty gave you but here is a list of the folders that are in TodayPlus(this is in the registry of course).
battery
calendarfilter
city
coords
icons
image
options
RSS
shortcut
storage
taskfilter
text
time
uptime
var

Notice that RSS is capitalized. Make sure you do that or it might not be found.

Thanks Scotty. Yup, I'm doing just what you said. However, based on your skin I think you have different settings than me.

[Blazingwolf]

Yes some of the settings will be different. We can work on that as you get things working. I have to leave for awhile but I will check back to see how you are doing.

Thanks
I really would like information on how to set my local city for the weather to update.

Hi JK74

Yes, quite a few of the settings will be skin-specific, and even user-specific. If you want to try my skin (which is based on Blazingwolf's skin), I posted it elsewhere - BUT that post was made for another reason, and so I didn't include the buttons that I have modified. Let me know if you want me to send you a ZIP of my skin with all the images that I use (most of which are in the regular TP download, of course, but not all of them)

I attach a cap of my screen

that is a really beautiful skin and setup.
I'm slowly realizing that manually customizing this will be next to impossible. I don't even have a listing of the options to choose from, nor do I even know what they do, so I'm at a bit of a loss here.

My hope if to battle the config.exe problem at the same time. There are several others in other post threads who are battleing with this exact problem. Some have even had the same experience as me, where it worked initially but now does not.
A hard reset supposedly clears their problem, however it didn't fix mine.

I think this is a WM2003 issue, and needs to be investigated by the persons who wrote this software.

First, make sure your PDA is online (cradled, bluetooth, wifi, whatever). You'll see why this is necessary...

Then, go to the directory Program Files/TodayPlus (using file explorer). Find the file config.exe, and click on it. It should open to show a page with a series of tabs on the bottom (see graphic below). Click on the "Weather/RSS" tab, and a new page opens (see 2nd graphic). Click on "Add New", and another page opens. In the top box, type the city name (or ZIP, if you're in the States), then click the Search button - that's why you need to be online. The program should find your city. The third graphic shows what happens when I did this for Hoboken. As you'll see, the program search the net, and found 2 Hobokens. You select the one you want, and it's name appears in the lower-left box (I haven't included a graphic of that). You can modify the name in that lower left box (to how you want it to appear in TP - for example, you might not want to include the "NJ").

Good luck. Like Blazingwolf, I too have to log off now, for the rest of the day.

Follow-up

Hi again JK 74

Your last post went on while I was preparing those 3 graphics.....sorry, I thought that you had found how to run config.exe, but if not, then obviously you can't do what I suggested.

I don't think it's WM2003 as such, because lots of people (including me) have no problems at all with TP under WM2003.

I'm off now. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Okay...I have a similar problem....let me describe in detail...

I was using Today Plus fine, until I tried to install a today plug-in call uptime. After I install this plugin, I realise my Today Plus screen will not show up. So, I uninstall the uptime plugin.

Then, my today plus screen still will not show. I go the Today Plus Config, and realsied that under the Select Skin, I am not able to select the skin file slider.txt. It shows nothing in the drop down list. I went back to my file explorer, and the slider.txt file was just sitting there, in the skins folder.

Anyone can help?

[joelw135]

Please go to the base path as seen on screen above and set base path to Program Files---TodayPlus, then exit config. Then go back into config and see if the skin can be selected now.

[atco22]

Hey! It works...thanks a lot!!!

[joelw135]

No problem at all. That's why we are here.

Hi joelw135,

After I have installed the TodayPlus V11, I can't select the skin that I have already selected the correct path on "base path", but the "Select Skin (DLL)" is empty....
Please help...thanks!

[joelw135]

Did you install the microsoft frame work? If you did try a soft reset. Correct Base Path should be Program Files---TodayPlus.

joelw135,

  Anything with WM2003 you do NOT need to install microsoft frame work.
