Timmy's right.  Same thing happens to me from time to time.  You should also try this technique, incase you didn't know about it:

Run the TPconfig
Click on the "Clear Buffer" button on the first screen
Then do a an update on all you data.  

I can tell you how to do this in my skin but I'm not sure about the others.  Should be a button on one of the screens.

Hang in there..

Thx guys, for the reassurance.

Don't worry about your skin: there's nothing wrong with it!!! Mostly there's an URL-problem causing the things that happen on your PCC

I did some experimenting. I went into "my document" folder and clicked the radar.exe button. It worked and downloaded radar images into the radar folder. I can also see these images on the radar page. So, the server is up, and the radar.exe is working. It's just that I cannot get the radar.exe linked with the "update" button on the main page or the weather page.

Also, the calendar header and the weather icons are in the skin and icon folders, and I should be able to load them independent of the url issue, is that corrent? (I'm not sure   )

Appreciate the help!

Hi Tonya,
I think you are missing all your preferences made in config.exe. (Cause is your hardreset)
Did you do a backup of the registry-keys ? If not, you have to configure everything new in the config.exe
(even the abbrivations of the calendar, weather and shortcuts)

 How could I have possbily forgotten that? I did do the rss part, but forgot about the abbr. for the calendar. Thx Broesel. I now have both the calendar header and the weather icons back. The radar.exe is still not linked to the update button, but I'm sure there must be a reason as simple as the above one. And I'm sure when people point that out to me, I gonna do the   again.

The radar.exe has to be linked with the first shortcut in apps-7 (the 7'th group
of applications) as far as I remember. You have to redefine all your shortcuts
in the config.exe if you want all funktions back.

I'm gonna write a list remind me of all these little things.

Truly appreciate!

If you want to save work when a hardreset is neccessary, you can backup your settings of the config.exe by using a registry-editor, that can save and restore single keys of the registry (f. ex. Tascal Regedit). There is a workaround, how to do that. You will find it here:

Thx, that's very helpful! I'll now make the back up copy just in case this happens again.

I want to link the green radar button on the weather page to a photo viewer so that I can see radar images more clearly. I change the the following code

Code Select Expand

     imagebutton,177,78,Radar.png,t,7,4,6,-1
button,177,78,32,32,-1,6,var3=-100,
button,177,78,32,32,-1,6,var23=-20,
button,177,78,32,32,-1,6,var25=0,
button,177,78,32,32,3,4,999
button,177,78,32,32,1,4,999


into this:

Code Select Expand

     imagebutton,177,78,Radar.png,t,7,4,6,-1
button,177,78,32,32,-1,0,%apps-1-6


It does work, but it also executes the old code. Therefore, I get radar images twice, once through the photo viewer, and once the old way. This is the only place where I can find the green radar button in the code. Is there another place that I should look for?

This is interesting stuff. I should change my major.

Hi tonyaross

Change:
     

Code Select Expand

imagebutton,177,78,Radar.png,t,7,4,6,-1
button,177,78,32,32,-1,0,%apps-1-6
into:
     

Code Select Expand

imagebutton,177,78,Radar.png,t,-1,0,%apps-1-6

This should work

[tonyaross]

Wichtel,

Code:
imagebutton,177,78,Radar.png,t,-1,0,%apps-1-6  

Works great!

Thx!

hi guys!

I changed some code to make the weathre icons on the main page clickable. The idea is that when I click on the icon, a pop up window will show me the weather details, just like the pop up windows in the main weather page. Here is the button that I added

Code Select Expand

//===================================
//WEATHER AKTUELL + 1 Day
//===================================

load,city,1

button,7,80,15,15,7,4,0,3

calcvar,var20,weatherupdatetimediff

It works, it's hard to close the the pop up window. It freezes for about 5 seconds before it closes. Is a way to make this better?  (The close button is right over the "current month" in the calendar section, and it can "click through." Every time I touch the button, the calendar display also refreshes. Therefore, maybe the difficulty in closing it has something to do with two actions at the same time, closing and refreshing?)

Thanks!

Hi, guys, I'm having a repeated problem with the deactiviate button command, I thinking I must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to define a "region 19" for my photo album, and link that with "suspend button" at the bottom of the right hand corner. It works OK, but the images and buttons contained in "region 19" keeps showing on the main page when I press the update button. Here is a shot for the main page. I did put the  "deactiviatebuttons, 19" in the main page section.     I'm just limping along, doing and learning at the same time.   Hope I can get some help.

Thanks!!!!

Make sure that you initialize your new Region 19 to be hidden at the beginning of your skin file.

initregion,19,999

Also, once you've finished using that region and go back to your Main Page (or whatever page), you'll need to hide Region 19 again.  Usually this is done through a imagebutton or button command.  

button,<x>,<y>,<width>,<height>,<target region>,<action>,<data>,<regions to update>

The "target" you want is Region 19, the "action" you want is 4, and the "data" you want is 999.  Something like this:

button,<x>,<y>,<width>,<height>,19,4,999,<regions to update>

Basically this means jump region 19 to page 999, which essentially hides the region.

Dear Deftone, Thx so much for all the help. I've been busy in the past two days with a paper that I have to write. I'll definitely try out your suggestions once the paper is out of the way. Thanks a million!
