The current icons for events looked good in the Sim but looked terrible on the reader. So tomorrow I will redo the existing ones, and possibly add a couple more. There is already a birthday icon, and I will add a wedding/anniversary one. But what is "rip"?

As for the font size, I really don't know. The multi-line textbox is one of the built-in widgets. I don't know if the font size can be changed. Do you know, Mark?

Sincerely,
Ben.

RIP = Rest in Peace probably for a death/anniversary of a death...

Hmmm. If so, what would be suitable as an icon?

Hi Ben,

<text>is build in, but fully customizable.
Your are defining

      	<skin id="eventText"
				cutouts="htext-lt,htext-ct,htext-rt,htext-lm,htext-cm,htext-rm,htext-lb,htext-cb,htext-rb" 
				styles="htext-e,htext-e,htext-p,htext-s"/>

implicit using this definitions form AppAssets.xml

Spoiler:

  		<style font="Swis721 BT" size="15" style="bold">
			<style id="htext-e" halign="left" left="8" top="8" right="8" bottom="8">
			<style id="htext-d" color="#959595" background="#6D6D6D"/>
			<style id="htext-p" background="#B49AFF"/>
			<style id="htext-s" background="#B49AFF"/>
		 </style>	
		</style>
..
        <texture href="../AppAssets/AppLabels.png">
..		
			<cutout id="htext-lt" x="305" y="230" width="5" height="5" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-ct" x="311" y="230" width="10" height="5" lines="30" />
			<cutout id="htext-rt" x="325" y="230" width="10" height="5" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-lm" x="305" y="240" width="5" height="10" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-cm" x="311" y="240" width="10" height="10" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-rm" x="325" y="240" width="10" height="10" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-lb" x="305" y="250" width="5" height="10" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-cb" x="311" y="250" width="10" height="10" lines="30"/>
			<cutout id="htext-rb" x="325" y="250" width="10" height="10" lines="30"/>

so the new style "eventText" will be the same as "helpText" from AppAssets.

Just replace the second line of your definitions with some other text-styles to meet your requirements.

The four text-styles (indicated by the trailing char d,e,p,s) stands for the four (4) possible states of the element:

d-isabled
e-nable
p-ressed
s-elected

The order may vary from element to element, but you can always check with the defsked sources of fskin.

Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,

Excellent. I was just checking out AppAssests and realised that the font was customisable, but I didn't know what the "d", "e", "p" and "s" stood for.

I will do the changes tomorrow (Sunday).

Sincerely,
Ben.

[Mark Nord]

Ben,

A question to Calendar:
Are the floating holidays, tied to the easter-date also supported?
(e.g. Pentecost)

Regards
Mark

Well, there is a special function to handle easter. I think it would be easy enough to copy the easter function and modify to obtain other dates tied to easter. But you would probably need a separate function for each date, and a separate "code".

All the special events have a code: "C" for Christmas, "B" for birthday, "E" for easter, "V" for Valentine's Day, etc. Repeating yearly events are coded with "Y", monthly events with "M" and weekly events with "W". There is also "F" for floating (which can handle things like Thanksgiving.) I have already been asked to add "Wedding/Anniversary" and "RIP". There is a limit to how much we can add without needing to change the event data-structure completely. (I guess that isn't out of the question, but I think I was hoping to avoid it!)


Actually, I should probably add Thanksgiving to the default set of events so as to model a Floating holiday... Something for tomorrow...

Sincerely,
Ben.

[Mark Nord]

Ben,

Thanksgiving is already there!
Furthermore there is no "E"aster, but "F" with param 3,0,0

And if you are interested, there is a way to avoid reading the dat-file twice:

Spoiler:

target.init = function () {
		var i, tempfile,lines, tempnumevents;
		//this.bubble("tracelog","initialising...");
		this.appTitle.setValue(kbook.autoRunRoot._title);
		this.appIcon.u = kbook.autoRunRoot._icon;

		// Load events from save file
		try {
			if (FileSystem.getFileInfo(datPath)) {
				// read whole file in first to count how many events there are
				tempfile = getFileContent(datPath,'savefile missing');
				if (tempfile!='savefile missing') {
					lines = tempfile.split("\r\n");	// CR LF is used by stream.writeLine()
					tempnumevents = (lines.length-1)/5;
					//this.bubble("tracelog","Events="+tempnumevents);
					for (i=0; i<tempnumevents; i++) {
						events.push([lines[i*5],lines[i*5+1],lines[i*5+2],lines[i*5+3],lines[i*5+4]]);
						} 
		/*	this isn't necessary! As there are already lines[]
					// now read file in using stream
					var stream = new Stream.File(datPath);
					for (i=0; i<tempnumevents; i++) {
						temptype = stream.readLine();
						tempmonth = stream.readLine();
						tempdate = stream.readLine();
						tempyear = stream.readLine();
						tempdescription = stream.readLine();
						events.push([temptype, tempmonth, tempdate, tempyear, tempdescription]);
					}
					stream.close();  
					this.bubble("tracelog","Events="+_Core.debug.dumpToString(events,"",2)); 
		*/		}
			} else {
				// no savefile, so push default events
				events.push(["Y", "1", "1", "2006", "New Year's Day"]);
				events.push(["V", "2", "14", "2005", "Valentine's Day"]);
				events.push(["F", "3", "0", "0", "Easter Sunday"]);		// easter is a special float with param 3,0,0
				events.push(["Y", "3", "17", "2005", "St. Patrick's Day"]);
				events.push(["F", "11", "4", "5", "Thanksgiving"]);
				events.push(["C", "12", "25", "2005", "Christmas"]);
			}
		} catch (e) { stream.close(); }

Regards
Mark

PS: Maybe editing (of the dat-file) would be easier if one event per row would be stored. Using something like a CSV-format, allowing events.push(lines[i].split(";"))

[BenChen]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the code for reading in the file once. I had tried to do something similar, but hadn't managed to get it to work. (I had used

lines = tempfile.split("\n");

and couldn't work out why there were still returns at the end of every line!)

I like the idea of events all on one line. I will see how it goes.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi everyone,

Calendar updates pushed to apps repository. This has been tested on my 600 and it looks good.

Changes are: Improved layout and event icons; added "Anniversary"; increased event font size; changed event file-format; non-Touch cursor now moves.

Note, in particular, that the save file format has been changed. If you have a save file already, you need to edit it so that it looks like the following:

Y;1;1;2006;New Year's Day
V;2;14;2005;Valentine's Day
F;3;0;0;Easter Sunday
Y;3;17;2005;St. Patrick's Day
F;11;4;5;Thanksgiving
C;12;25;2005;Christmas

And it is important to have that extra blank line at the end.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi everyone,

Another calendar update pushed to the apps repository.

Changes are: Added settings popup panel; 'Week starts with' option (Sunday or Monday).

It should work with touch and non-touch (with panel open, press up/down to move between option and buttons, press left/right when option is enabled to change).

Sincerely,
Ben.

I like the calendar! Good job!
Thanks Ben

In the 505 works fine but crashes when I push the enter when OK is selected to change the starting day of the week.

Nor do I know how to add events on the calendar. I don´t see any option.

For add/delete events manually edit file calendar.dat in /data/databook/system/prsplus/gamesave/calendar
