Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

Hi guys,

today I sat down to build something from QBW...
basically it's a text clock telling the time, which also says the time via espeak when clicked and opens the clock app when double clicked.
I am using a font from the Resident Evil theme, and espeak obviously:

Code:

[queen-beecon.desktop-2]

beecon_eq0_BgRGB=3

beecon_eq0_ExtBgRGB=#0000ffff0000

beecon_eq0_ImgFilename=queen-beecon-appok.png

beecon_eq1_ImgZoom=0

updOnDBUS=0

updOnDBUSBus=0

updOnDBUSMatchRule=

And the shellscript to feed the clock:

Code:

if [ "$1" == "QBW_CLICK" ] && [ $2 -eq 2 ] 

then

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"worldclock"

fi

        h=`date +%-I`

        m=`date +%-M`





k="one:two:three:four:five:six:seven:eight:nine:ten:eleven:twelve:thirteen:fourteen:quarter:sixteen:seventeen:eighteen:nineteen:twenty"

l="x:twenty:thirty:forty:fifty"





if [ $m -lt 21 ] && [ $m -gt 0 ] || [ $m -eq 30 ]

then



        if [ $m -eq 30 ]

        then

                mw="half"        

                

        else

                mw=`echo $k|cut -f$m -d:`

        fi

        hw=`echo $k|cut -f$h -d:`

        o1=$mw

        o2="past"

        o3=$hw

elif [ $m -gt 49 ] || [ $m -eq 45 ] || [ $m -eq 40 ]

then

        

        if [ $h -eq 12 ]

        then

                hw="one"

        else

                h=$(($h+1))

                hw=`echo $k|cut -f$h -d:`

        fi

        m=$((60-$m))

        mw=`echo $k|cut -f$m -d:` 

        o1=$mw

        o2="to"

        o3=$hw

elif [ $m -eq 0 ]

then



        o1=`echo $k|cut -f$h -d:`

        o2="o'clock"

        o3="sharp"



else



        hw=`echo $k|cut -f$h -d:`

        m1=`echo $m|cut -c1`

        m2=`echo $m|cut -c2`

                



        o1=$hw

        o2=`echo $l|cut -f$m1 -d:`

        o3=`echo $k|cut -f$m2 -d:`

fi 

if [ $2 -eq 1 ]

then

        sil=`dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profile|tail -1|cut -f2 -d\"`

        if [ "$sil" == "silent" ]

        then

        dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"Sorry I'm supposed to be silent."

        else

                espeak "$o1 $o2 $o3"

        fi

fi

        echo "$o1<span size=\"1\"> </span><span face=\"NewTimes\" size=\"80000\" weight=\"normal\">$o2</span><span size=\"1\"> </span>$o3"

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and of course if you would like to point me to an improvement feel free to drop me a line.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

has anyone succesfully created a media player widget with queen beacon?

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

hi all ,, i have two questions ,, hope i can find the answers as quick as possible :)
the first one is :
what the things i need to learn/know to make a nice looking QBW?
and if you pleased tell me where to learn them ! consider me as a complete noob
the second one is :
is it possible to password lock a desktop using the QBWs!!

sorry for my missed up english !! :/

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

WIKI and Examples can be a good start.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

greattttt :) ,, i will be digging there :)

and about the password lock thing !!!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

I want to create an icon on the normal desktop for email with an unread email counter and when clicked it should open Claws-mail. The Gmail script from the wiki doesn't seem to work (anymore?)

I have managed to get something with curl in the console using the command from here 9adding -k option but have no idea how and where to fit this as script in qbw.
I think it can be done in a script like mentioned this. but exactly how to do this I don't know
Is this possible? any idea's/help ? :)

0 New

This is working for me... or you can use any equivalent with curl.

If you have configured the beecon to run both on timer and on click, in your script you might check $QBW_EXEC_REASON for the following strings

if QBW_TIMER_UPDATE then poll gmail (with the command above)
if QBW_CLICK then run Claws-mail per example in here

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

Thanks, it is almost working now, I had issues with wget due to @ in the password, solved it..
Now it is only displaying the mailbox_empty.png but it does update the mailcount, simply pasting the command in the script doesn't let it return the correct state?
My programming skills are ehm.. at noob level :) so i got this far:

PHP Code:


		
			
if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_TIMER_UPDATE" ]; then

# get the new mail info

wget -t 1 -T 3 -q --user=myusername --password=myp@ssword -O - 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom' --no-check-certificate | awk 'BEGIN{m=2}/<fullcount>.+<\/fullcount>/{gsub(/<[^>]*>/,"",$0);print $1 " New";if($1>0)m=1;else m=0}END{exit m}'

fi;



if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_CLICK" ]; then

# start claws-mail 

/usr/bin/dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:claws-mail

fi;

fi;

We have a couple of issues here:
First "if block" is missing a piece because awk statement "if($1>0)m=1;else m=0}END{exit m}" just returns the exit code to the calling script... I'd add an explicit exit statement before the fi;

Second "if block" is missing a further check and an exit status; behavior here would be that for every click the beecon will launch the mail program but return a 0 exit and whatever output the dbus-send is issuing to stdout (= always mailbox_empty.png and possibly "" number of messages)

See below for a possible improvement:

PHP Code:


		
			
if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_TIMER_UPDATE" ]; then

# get the new mail info

wget -t 1 -T 3 -q --user=myusername --password=myp@ssword -O - 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom' --no-check-certificate | awk 'BEGIN{m=2}/<fullcount>.+<\/fullcount>/{gsub(/<[^>]*>/,"",$0);print $1 " New";if($1>0)m=1;else m=0}END{exit m}'

exit $?

fi;



if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_CLICK" ]; then

# start claws-mail 

/usr/bin/dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:claws-mail

# get the new mail info

wget -t 1 -T 3 -q --user=myusername --password=myp@ssword -O - 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom' --no-check-certificate | awk 'BEGIN{m=2}/<fullcount>.+<\/fullcount>/{gsub(/<[^>]*>/,"",$0);print $1 " New";if($1>0)m=1;else m=0}END{exit m}'

exit $?

fi;

Further, you might want to manage possible error conditions from the wget command inside your awk 1-liner

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

hmm, I'm not sure about the mailcheck when clicked, it is supposed to just open claws so just an exit 0 would be ok here I think? (displaying mailbox_empty.png until the next timed update).
The problem I'm having is it always seems returns 0 thus displaying mailbox_empty.png although I do get the new mail count.
(mailbox_full.png does work when i change the exit 0 to exit 1)
