It is a batch and not a patch

[CharlyV]

Use the Babelfish to translate it.

Does this mean "Du wirst TD+ patchen"?

(In March of course)

CharlyV,

Babelfish does not do a good job translating this!  It seems that you have written some sort of date changer batch file. Can you please elaborate.

Thx

[Cratos]

CharlyV,

I folowed the directions as close as I could and found that this batch works great. The only stipulation is that you must reset with TP.exe.  Everyone can now use TodayPlus as long as they want (And I didnt even have to patch it... yet)  =)

NJ Charly, thx.

Edit:  One glitch, it is not setting my date back to 2004 when it is done.

[CharlyV]

Cratos, take a second look in the German forum : http://www.ppc-welt-community.info/Community/showthread.php?s=&postid=304867#post304867

The batch set back to the year 2004. Check your installation and read my
description in detail.

This batch is more a intelligent sofreset ...

Yea I got the directions down. Installation seems ok. Everything is working except it is not changing my date back to 2004. It stays on 2003 after the reset. I will experiment with it.

TodayPlus.ns + TodayPlus2.ns
You made these modifications ?

For WM2003 OS English user:
Please correct the TodayPlus.ns + TodayPlus2.ns with an text editor
from
copyfile("\\Script\\TodayPlus2.lnk","\\Windows\\Autostart\\TodayPlus2.lnk");
to
copyfile("\\Script\\TodayPlus2.lnk","\\Windows\\Startup\\TodayPlus2.lnk");

from
DeleteFile("\\Windows\\Autostart\\TodayPlus2.lnk");
to
DeleteFile("\\Windows\\Startup\\TodayPlus2.lnk");

[Cratos]

The problem is in the first script, TodayPlus.ns.

On the english version there is no AutoStart directory. It is called StartUp.

Edit: Woops, I was a second too late with the reply. =)
Also, the first forum link does not list those changes. (Which is the thread that I read)

[CharlyV]

I told you ...  

[Cratos]

sure did. =)

Thx for the batch.


Edit: I have attached a version with directories already included and the autostart's changed to startup's. All you have to do is extract the three directories to your desktop, turn on activesync and expore your device, double-click on "my pocket pc" and drag the three folders into there. Then you can run TP.exe from  the startmenu programs listing.


I have moved the file download to the thread entitled TodayPlus date change workaround because this thread is cluttered with confusion and needs to die IMO

What will this do for you? Does it allow total use of TodayPlus, Including weather and rss? Where on the pocket PC do you put the files? And does it work as a plugin or as a regular program?

[acschirmer]

Hi Cratos,

I did not understand!  

First, before placing the folders in ppc what I have to make?

And later the folders goes for where? Program Files/scriptM goes for it program Files?

The Script Folder where I place?

The Windows folder goes it to windows/star menu/ programs and there I place only the TP.exe? Forgives my ignorance LOL!

Hi Cratos,

I did not understand!  

Everyone. If you download the version that is posted on the other forum (the one CharlyV posted) you must follow his directions to get it going. All I did was modify his version so that you dont have to move the files individually. If you download the zip from this thread, all you have to do is extract the three directories from the zip to your desktop. Then turn on activesync and expore your device, double-click on "my pocket pc". This will put you at the root directory of your device. Now just drag the three folders into there. There will be a new program called TP in your programs listing. When you run it, it will change your date to 2003, restart your device, then change it back. That way TodayPlus will think it is 2003 when it gets loaded.

Also, I did not create this batch program. I just modified the zip to make it easier to install. I think that CharlyV created it.

Thanks for the English instructions but it doesn't work here (WM2003 iPAQ 5555):

Update:  ahhh, Cratos, the folder structure you have made is incorrect.  Under Program Files, the folder SHOULD be named NScriptm (NOT scriptm).  TP.exe works fine with this change, but it's hard to tell if TP actually still works after a date change to April '04, since it has no data (loses all with the date change).  I think it is working though because I briefly saw the main buttons and date before it went blank again.  Also, you may have to use the TP.exe to soft reset when using the RELOAD PLUGIN option in the config.exe?  Small price to pay if it all works in a few weeks.

You're right, I have fixed the file. All should be ok now.
