And thanks for the response, I'll try for the time being using the temporary file but I'd really prefer the feature of separate scripts.
I believe the cheapest solution could be this one:

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

This creates a new problem, isn't it? B would have to call A since it change's A status, otherwise A would only change colors on the next time threshold. OR the user should always click on B then click on A, which would be also a nuisance.

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-03-27 14:32

Yesssss!!! you're right ... but has I said, since the Beecon is not the only direct controller of the fmtx program behaviour (fmtx takes the initiative of switching itself off after inactivity) also the polling mechanism to monitor fmtx status according to timer periodicity will be inaccurate however

... then sorry, my friend ... no cheap method for this use case!!! :(

I just started using this app and all I can say is "what an amazing piece of work!!".
Now I just need to study it a bit more to see what I can do with it and how to arrange them. =)

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
Here's some stuff I did so far with your awesome widget.
Used 5 of queen beecon (snippet mode) in this desktop.

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/574...0041408401.png

1. Overclocked@1Ghz is a snippet 'button' with following code. It's to reset it back to 1Ghz after a phone call. (some kind of issue where overclock is reset to 800mhz after a call)

Code:
echo "echo 1000000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" | sudo gainroot
2. Output down the bottom is certain lines from cpufreq-info output. (you can install cpufreq tools from app manager)

3. Standard Rootfs and Battery output. (separate widgets)

4. LCD button on right which is used to instantly dim the LCD to lower than lowest level possible in settings.

Code:
echo "echo 2 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness" | sudo gainroot

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-04-14 06:24

Neat and nice layout ... with a bit more tweaking and scripting (awk and the like) you could also highlight and change text properties for point 2 ... for example: cpu values/% in bold or "MHZ" in subscript style or with different font with Pango Markup Language

Also Battery and Rootfs could be replaced by their specific dynamic icons showing status in a visual way like this:

Command request
 
Could someone help me a bit?

I would like to have a single button that sets the wifi off, changes mode to gsm and shuts down all connections and possibly shuts the screen off. It would be so handy to just push that single button before you put your device to pocket. I dont have skills to create command like that. Thanx. :)

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-04-14 09:34
Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
This should be the sequence of commands to script:
Code:
#This disconnects from the net
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

#This shuts down wifi
rmmod wl12xx

#This sets phone to 2G
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.set_selected_radio_access_technology byte:1

#This locks screen
run-standalone.sh dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:locked

That would be amazing! :D

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
One thing I found extremely annoying is that it does not remember the individual beecon settings.
So if I accidently close 1 beecon/snippet, I lose all the settings on how it looks and I have to redo it all over again.
I just had to recreate the same widget multiple times.... =(

Would be awesome if you can create design templates. (just like being able to create scripts)

Just search the wiki, man. The information you want is on the Phone control page:

Open link in browser

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"google.com"

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
This BeeCon widget deserves its own wiki page from the start, because it is so versatile, flexible and usable for many things. This thread will become huge and people will ask the same things multiple times.

Great work!

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-04-16 09:11

I believe you are right, but since the beginning I did not find much feedback and interest about QBW ... proof is still no karma and feedback in QA testing queue

I'm trying to keep this main thread in order and see if Wiki is really needed...

jakiman 2010-04-16 10:24
Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
Thank you. Now I can at least export the settings.
But would be awesome if it was integrated into the widget's settings screen. :)

IMO, QBW is a far more superior widget the the DCEW.
All the things DCEW lacks, you've added into QBW.
Amazing amount of work. Awesome set of instructions.
I'm no longer using DCEW as this is like DCEW version 3.0 and some. lol :p

btw, I cannot get output to word wrap within the snippet mode.
Is this possible for big text outputs? (so output doesn't go outside of the box)

I had a similar problem with the hard sleep mode widged, i screwed up the set up a bit and forgot to uncheck the updade at start up and switch desktop options so as soon as i turned my n 900 on it went straight to sleep:confused: when i uninstalled and re installed it i got the same problem. the way i solved it was rather low tech, using the lock button to activate the desk top for about half a second at a time i first held the stylus down to enter desktop edit (took a few tries) and then selected the wrench icon on the offending widged to edit it, before that i tried simply deleting the widget but the problem just reacured as soon as i tried to replace it, hope this helps in some way.:)

Hi all ... please support troubleshooting and bugfixing by providing as much info as possible, especially if you suspect it is a program bug and not an own script messup!

Solution and support will be given maximum priority if reported via:

Configuration file is:
Code:
/home/user/.queen_beecon
For those of you who are having issues at widget startup:
  1. open up x-terminal
  2. Code:
    sudo gainroot
  3. Code:
    vi /home/user/.queen_beecon
  4. find updOnStartup=true (all instances supposed to be culprits)
  5. set it to false (updOnStartup=false)
  6. save file
  7. immediately issue:
    Code:
    killall hildon-home
  8. hildon-home will restart automatically and widgets won't run any more at startup

If Configuration file:
Code:
/home/user/.queen_beecon
is messed up real bad ... just delete it, issue killall hildon-home and cross your fingers!!!

Generally speaking, there will NOT be any need to remove either package with:
Code:
dpkg -P queen-beecon
or images directory with:
Code:
rm -r /home/user/.queen_beecon_dir
rm -r /home/user/MyDocs/.images/queen_beecon_dir/
WARNING
For all Beecons used as buttons I suggest to set the update policy as this in order to prevent accidental triggering of the button!!!

What steps? Just uncheck the ones you don't need.
Also, leave Update Interval to 0 if you don't want periodic update.
(btw, this is right down the bottom. So you need to scroll down)

OMG of course, scrolling down reveals the hidden page !
