Owner information

[iznogoud]

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

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, 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.  

Code Select Expand

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:

Code Select Expand

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.

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 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.

Code Select Expand


region,0,0,-1
defregion,0,0,0,240,20,2
offset,offset_-1,offset_-1
offsetadd,0,4

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.

[joelw135]

I checked it is in the correct folder.
