Serendipity Library Update 20030116

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

Serendipity Library Update 20030116 is now available at http://www.oenolog.com/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm

The major change in this update is the addition of ClickCalendar.rev, a stack containing a group of controls & handlers, plus scripting examples & documentation for capturing & displaying dates using a calendar.

In addition, the following handlers were added to Serendipity Library:

* formatDate -- a function that returns a string in system date format from the year, month, & day passed to it
* futureDate -- a function testing whether a date is greater than the system date
* futureTime -- a function testing whether a time is greater than the system time
* getSDBComments -- a command that retrieves the Comment field of the current SDB database
* setSDBComments -- a command that updates the Comment field of the current SDB database

As I release this update, I am aware that Shao Sean and others have contributed scripted calendar controls to the Revolution community. I don't wish to imply that there is anything lacking in the solutions already available. The fact of the matter is I had a working HyperTalk design that was already integrated into the overall design of OenoLog; so I chose to use (& publish) my own.

The usual reminder: I could not make Serendipity Library available in multi-lingual form without the assistance of translators Jose L. Rodriguez Illera, Terry Vogelaar, Yves Copp�, Klaus Major, and YOUR NAME HERE [?? shameless arm twisting follows]

If you are literate in a language other than Dutch, English, French, German, or Spanish, you could be a part of Revolution's first multi-lingual community project, and possibly learn some techniques you can apply to make your own applications translatable & otherwise internationalized. Download the Library and test its Translate Message File menuItem. Carsten, Igor, ... anyone? :{`)
