Re: [ANN] calendar widget updated

[hh]

Mike,
you have a good and clear concept (and LC will have probably soon
one too?).

What I can't see in this discussion is the "mass of widgets".
This sounds as if there were already close to 1000(!) in the
folks. What I can find is below 40, not such a mass.

I started a community thread, nobody else contributed, not even
with a link to his/her widgets collection.

So this is my proposal: Let's have (say) 100 published 'community'
widgets. [I mean all LiveCoders with 'community' here].

Then we start with organising or re-organizing according to your
considerations. I don't believe the missing organization blocks
the production of widgets. But I also don't know what the blocker is.

Re: [ANN] calendar widget updated

I know Bernd better than he is aware of ;-)

The one and only reason of this 'unlucky' naming was
the desire, to retain Elanor's authorship, acknowledging
her fundamental work not only with that widget.

Monte's proposal is much better, but it could read

metadata version is "1.0.1-rc.1+berndn.coolchanges"

because this cool widget is far beyond any alpha state.

Re: [ANN] calendar widget updated

[Mike Kerner]

The problem that we run into is when someone goes off the grid.  I can
think of several tools that are, in effect, abandonware.  There are, for
instance, a certain mobile framework, a certain report writer, and a
communication framework for a file sharing service.  Let's start with the
mobile framework.  Two years after the author had stopped doing anything
with it, and it was incompatible with current versions of LC, LC was still
selling it in the store, and promoting it, even though the community was
pointing out that it was abandonware.  There is an alternate script editor
that went away, before making a reappearance.  If we are going to have mass
forking and posting, I think that better, tighter management of the
community widgets, including someone doing something similar to what Apple
does with the App Store when it says "there are too many of this kind of
app.  Yours doesn't do anything different" would make the experience of
widget shopping (whether the widget is paid or free) a lot cleaner.

What Peter is concerned about here is there being two different widgets in the 
community with the same version number and ID. There’s no need to change names 
if the changes are contributed to the original author (current maintainer). If 
Bernd doesn’t want to contribute the changes or Elanor doesn’t want to accept 
them then yes he should definitely distribute it under his own name.

In the event the distribution is purely to gauge community interest to 
determine if it’s worthwhile contributing the change back to the maintainer my 
recommendation would be to take advantage of semver and leave the ID as is. 
Something like:

metadata version is "1.0.1-alpha.1+berndn.coolchanges”

Here I have bumped the version number then used alpha.1 for the pre-release 
identifier and then appended the patch author and a patch name as build 
metadata. This is a valid semver version string and also ensures that the 
widget won’t conflict with the version 1.0.1 the author releases or even the 
1.0.1-alpha.1 the author releases.

Cheers

Peter,

thanks for pointing this out. I will do it differently if I do modify a
widget again.

There are so many options!

- One of you could take the lead on integrating the improvements under 
their personal LiveCode developer ID


- You could free yourselves from the shackles of the LiveCode developer

Hi Bernd,

1. Did you register "elanorb" as a LiveCode developer ID?  If not, you 
should not be distributing "com.livecode.elanorb" LCB modules.  It 
should be "com.livecode.berndn.calendar" or something.

Hi Roger,

please remove prior versions from the "extensions" folder in "My Livecode"
folder.

Then move the unzipped folders to the "extensions" folder in "My Livecode"
folder manually.

These are the actual folders should work when moved manually.

In case everything fails you could use the "Extension Builder" from the
"Tools" menu and select the .lcb files in those folders and choose install.
It will ask for an icon and you can direct it to calendarSmall.png and
calendarLarge.png in community.livecode.elanorb.calendarBN.1.0.0

community.livecode.elanor.datesupport.1.0.0 does not need icons, just cancel
the request.

Kind regards

Re: [ANN] calendar widget

[hh]

[Transmission error:]
I recompiled the library using 8.1.1rc2. Then I had
success with the widget on Win 7/10 using 8.1.1 and 9.0.0.

On Linux(Mint 173) and MacOS 10.12 it worked without recompiling,
on both using LC 8.1.1 and 9.0.0.

*** This seems to be a problem whenever the widget format changes:
Then some other widgets or libraries that are used by the newer
ones may have to be recompiled. ***

I never needed to do this on Mac, but two times on Linux (Mint)
and several times on Windows 7 and 10. So it's not obvious to see
the need for a recompilation of other LCB input when developping
on one single platform.

===

Bernd, this is a very useful widget-extension. One future feature
could be to make it to an (optional) three-months-display?

Re: [ANN] calendar widget

[Bob Sneidar]

I use a variety of date and time formats, so I wrote a formatDate function 
where I pass a date and a style as arguments. For instance formatDate(the date, 
"sql date") would return 2016-10-18. If you append formatTime(the long time, 
"sql time") it returns an sql format datetime value. I also have a spiceTime 
function for spiceworks help desk which is in the format 1h15m (for example) 
and returns the difference in time between 2 normal times.

If anyone is interested let me know and I will send you the code.

Re: [ANN] calendar widget

[BNig]

Hi Roger,

Hermann Hoch just informed me that recompiling 
community.livecode.elanor.datesupport.1.0.0.lcb
using 8.1.0 made the calendar widget work for Windows 7

To do this you would move the 
community.livecode.elanor.datesupport.1.0.0 folder from your "My Livecode"->
"extensions" folder to some other place, e.g. desktop

Restart Livecode

open "Tools" -> "Extension Builder" and locate the .lcb file inside the
folder on your desktop using the folder icon on the top right corner of
Extension builder. Then do "Test" if it compiles then do "Install" and it
will install the "datesupport" folder in your  "My Livecode"-> "extensions"
folder. 
Restart Livecode and the calendar widget should work. (fingers crossed)

If this works for your then it would be a good lead to where the error
originates.

Kind regards

Bernd

Hi Tore,

that sounds like a good use case

I think I will add a third option "custom" to "english" and "system" for
month and day names.

That way one can customize those to the local usage.

It will not be before middle of next week that I can change this and upload
a new version.

Kind regards

Thanks for a fine widget, it works well here on a Mac with  LC 8.1.1 and MacOS

like this available for LiveCode, just yesterday morning. I can now tell him 
that indeed there is.

In Norway we often use two letter abbreviations for day names, which is very 
handy if the size of the widget is very small.

Re: [ANN] calendar widget

[BNig]

Hi Devin,

I just tested and see that also when I try to get the monthNames by script.
It throws an error. I did not test that part of the widget enough because
that was already in place and since I did not need to set or get the
monthNames nor dayNames since I use a call to Livecodescript to get to the
localized abbreviated names.

The error is in the naming of the property: monthNames. That is a Livecode
Script property and calling that same property of the widget gives a
conflict.

As a test I temporarily renamed the widget's "monthNames" property to
"calMonthNames" and then getting the calMonthNames by script works.
In other words there is a naming conflict.
"dayNames" works because there is no naming conflict but is of little use
since it is overruled by the call to livecode Script.

I think I should change that part of the widget by removing the properties
from the properties inspector and leave them as renamed properties of the
widget but not settable, only gettable.

In case someone sees a use case for customizing abbreviated day/month names
I would reconsider that.

Until it is changed I suggest just not using both properties.

Thank your the feedback.

Kind regards
Bernd

Wonderful widget, Bernd! Works well here on Mac 10.10.5 with both LC 8.1.1 RC2 
and 9.0.0 DP1. 

There is only one small problem I see: the monthNames property throws an error 
when I try to get or set it. I wonder if it the monthNames property is 
interfering?

Hi Roger,

Could you try with a version > 8.1.0 and Windows 7?

the widget does not use Mac specific code. 

Actually I just tested using on a Mac 10.9.5 and LC 8.1.0 and it worked. But
I compiled the widget using LC 9.0.0 DP1. But that _should_ not matter?

Kind regards
Bernd
