Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
In response to the problems with the Ebay beecon / snippet -

I can implement (i.e. add the code and run) the snippet but the output I get in the widget does not match what display fields you have in the example screenshot you posted with the instructions on how to build it. What I see is the title of the listing and then underneath where the field says "ID:" I also get a repeat of the title, where I expect to see the item number. Underneath this, I expect to see the time left for bidding etc but I don't see any of that.

So I don't think this is a 'timer' issue as you understand it - I am just not returning the field data in the widget that I expect to.

My reference to 'optifying' the layout (if that's even a word?) is because when the Ebay widget appears, the listing title dissappears from the right of the page, meaning the length is too short in the default value methinks.

I hope that makes better sense.

Heh. Never occurred to me to look in an UNinstaller to find out the installed version! But of course it's the perfect place.

I've got 0.1.4. Looks like that's the latest, no?

[Feature request]

If possible, a beecon to start / stop record the output from the N900 FM radio app which can then be played in media player?

The script I posted yesterday had a bug that made it ignore hostile teams.

Or you could just hand-edit it: in the if statement that checks for wins, two occurrences of "tm[i]" should both be "ct".

Thanks, WIKI points to original post so no need for amendments there as well.

BTW ... with respect to the Timer issues, there is indeed some weird bug here and I'm in the process for a solution.

I hope I have a better chance now that community has gone much more cerebral about Maemo, N900 and Hildon-Desktop.
I repost here my original request as it could move QBW a step further with still one new possibility.

Thanks to new extended IPC mechanism it could be now possible to treat many QBW instances as one intercommunicating entity thus allowing stacked instances (and hot spots over beecons) like in this example:

I believe the cheapest solution could be this one:

http://i41.tinypic.com/nei7hy.png http://i39.tinypic.com/2zf7j8y.png http://i44.tinypic.com/eugi69.png

With "A" being the "status" beecon (with status querying script updating manually, every startup, on desktop change, every 30 or so seconds updated via new QBW IPC features by "B") and "B" being the "toggle" beecon/button (with status toggling script just for manual interaction)

ISSUE: Still unable to programmatically control the stacking of different widgets on desktop.

This was the original enigma:

Hi, as per subject I need to programmatically control the overlaying positions of 3 instances of the same multi-instance hildon desktop (hildon-home) widget.
Programming Language is C.

I basically need to send the top most yellow box behind the red and green boxes (the very-very back) while I'm in the top most widget's settings dialog box.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2vcgjye.png

http://i48.tinypic.com/2qukdqh.png

I've already tried:
  1. gtk_window_set_keep_below gtk_window_set_keep_below
  2. HildonWindowStack family functions

No success so far... anyone can help?

Bye!
Sorry for bringing this back again but I received some tips from a friend and I'd like you guys to help me elaborating on them:

So you could edit this timestamp to change the stacking order of the applets. I think you'd need to trigger the restacking of applets somehow aftre changing the value. The stacking code is here:

Anyone has any idea on how to "trigger the restacking of applets"

Ciao.

WOW, this is one incredible piece of work. I have no programming skills ,but it seems to me that this widget can do just about anything with the right script. So may question is this; i have a GOOGLE VOICE account and want to eliminate sms fees from recieveing texts from my account. So could QBW poll my account for new messages alert me of them, and then open a selected VOIP account to let me handle the message however i feel fit? The potential for this app is incredible; if this is possible?

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-05-24 21:38

Uhm ... I'll try some speculations here... just brainstorming as I cannot connect to Google Voice ("Please note that Google Voice is only available for sign up in the US.")
  • It is already possible to check for GMails via a RSS feed through GMail: New Mail Notifier Widget
  • There's a mobile access URL for http://www.google.com/voice/m (I'm not able to inspect further because of access limitations)
  • I believe there are methods of issuing DBUS commands to start voip connections
  • I believe there are methods of issuing DBUS commands to have the N900 play sounds like incoming mails or chat conversations
  • QBW can provide the frontend to all this notification/action scripting
As you see ... just speculations and still a lot more to investigate and test but maybe the Community can help testing & scripting here

I Can't go further then this ... sorry :(

Oops your not from here,lol
  • It is already possible to check for GMails via a RSS feed through GMail: New Mail Notifier Widget
    Yep saw that is why I asked here, because getting into GV would probably use the same script
  • There's a mobile access URL for http://www.google.com/voice/m (I'm not able to inspect further because of access limitations)
    Understandable, but the mobile isn't that great,but I guess you could use it to get the info for which QBW could use, would prefer the real site in any case
