Hi Ben,

I have redesigned the events pop-up panel to write and see the text of the events as in the main screen. Ben, you think that is interesting?

Thanks

Mark, i've seen some translations of bookmanager missing in lang.ods and others they have different name that in the script.

Hi surquizu,

I understand why you want to do this. But actually I don't want to encourage people to use long event descriptions. Recently, I changed the program so that if there are more than 6 events on a particular day, then the user can scroll down to see them. But it only works correctly if the event description takes up only one line.

So I don't want to change the layout just yet. However, you can still use your layout in your custom build!

Sincerely,
Ben.

So I will . For I want to use I prefer more than one line per event. Thank you.

A question: I tried putting in the design of pop-up another button "cancel" next to the button "delete" to get easy a second way to exit events panel for PRS-505 (non-touch reader). I get to the button and works with the touch, but I can not select it with the joypad. Can you give me a clue to the necessary programming?

Hi surqizu,

That's really difficult to explain here! A much easier option would be to use one of the 505's physical buttons that performs the cancel when the event popup is visible. For example, if we use the "Mark" button, change the procedure

	target.doMark = function () {
		monthNum=todaysMonth;
		yearNum=todaysYear;
		this.dateChanged();			
		return;
	}

to

	target.doMark = function () {
		if (eventsDlgOpen) {
			target.EVENTS_DIALOG.btn_Cancel.click();
		} else {
			monthNum=todaysMonth;
			yearNum=todaysYear;
			this.dateChanged();
		}
		return;
	}

Then you just need to add a label on the event popup that says "[Mark] Cancel".

Now, all this programming was not tested, so it might not work as I expect! Let me know how you get on...

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi surquizu,

Actually, you would also need to add another function line (somewhere around line 469 of calendar.xml) that says

<function id="doMark">		this.container.doMark(); </function>

Hope that makes it work!

Sincerely,
Ben.

Thanks, but..

I do not understand , it works perfect in eBookSim but not work on reader

[Mark Nord]

surqizu,

I assume the button works if clicked on with the mouse, but you can't access it by only using the cursor-key's and ENTER.
Sim's mouse-input is similar to the touch-input on 600/x50 but there is no representation for this with the 505.

So there is extensive code to allow the selection of on-screen-elements with the help of the cursor-keys in "target.ntHandleEventsDlg = function () " nt in the function-name stands for NonTouch
You will have to add handler-code to process your new button here.

So basically Ben is perfectly right if he suggest to simply use an standard-hardware-button instead of a FSK-Button on-screen, which couldn't be access without extensive additional code.

Hope that makes any sense to you

Regards
Mark

It works well with instructions from Ben. It was my mistake in the location code.

The changes are made ​​on the files of the repository. Here the files for upload if Ben wants.

Thanks Ben, Thanks Mark

Hi there,

If anyone discovers that the arrow characters do not appear correctly (on the up/down scroll buttons next to the event description box, and the SHIFT and BACK buttons on the event popup) please let me know. As far as I know, the arrows are not yet included in the fonts on the 600, but I was told that all the other models would be OK.

Once the arrows are added to the fonts on the 600, I can delete the model check code...

Sincerely,
Ben.

Ben, the arrow characters do not appear correctly on the 505 (only arrows up and down).

PS
Perfect the OK and CLOSE with physical buttons. Thanks

Hi there,

I have pushed a temporary fix. It changes the labels back to the way they used to be. When the up and down arrows get added to the font, I can remove the fix.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi there,

I saw this bug report on the-ebook.org, but Google translate did not help much. Can someone tell me what the problem is?

"В игре "шашки" есть ошибка - игра позволяет не бить вражескую шашку, а делать любой другой ход. Однако правила шашек обязывают игрока побить шашку противника, если у него есть такая возможность." (http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...=745358#745358)

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

the reported problem is, that capturing is not mandatory.

PS
Wanted to raise issue of not being able to capture backwards, but I guess it's ok according to English Draughts rules.

Hi kartu,

Looks like I might have to add some options!

Ben.

Hi Mark,

Do you know if it is possible to do string translations in the Sim? There has been a request to internationalise the Calendar app and I don't want to do it without the Sim!

Sincerely,
Ben.
