These aren't suggestions as I realise implementing them would take a while (GObject; **** yeah! [Though, props to Vala - implementing properties and D-Bus methods and signals is so simple in Vala that it's almost orgasmic...), but ideas of what can be done with D-Bus if you ever feel like extending your brilliant efforts.

* If your object uses GObject properties for settings etc., you can manipulate them with the standard org.freedesktop.properties (something like that interface) as DBus-GLib will export them. You've already provided get/set_param methods :)
* You can also allow signals to emitted - create them in the GObject Way and define them in your interface XML. You could have one emitted for when a widget is updated.

Appreciate your tips, thanks Faheem.
As I'm pretty very old school as a coder - my last C/C++ lines happened almost 20 years ago :D - it'll take some time to digest you precious contribution :o

However I also have one more issue which is bothering me since QBW was born. I already opened a thread in Development forum but no brave member came up with suggestions.

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)

http://i42.tinypic.com/wu4bxi.png http://i44.tinypic.com/11m8ahz.png http://i43.tinypic.com/2u4lw5g.png
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!

Oh, believe me, I'm not a good coder at all. Far from it...

Anyway, for the signals thing (if you think it's a good idea):
http://slexy.org/view/s2JQ0NMQ5R

(Very rushed, sorry)

Results in this when monitoring d-bus:

signal sender=:1.32 -> dest=(null destination) serial=1085 path=/com/nokia/qbw; interface=com.nokia.qbw; member=Updated

Idea absolutely integrated ... got one more issue, though;

xml changed as I need QBW Instance ID which issued signal:
Code:
        <signal name="sig_content_updated">
          <arg type="s"/>
          <arg type="i"/>
        </signal>
now:
Code:
g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT
doesn't seem to be adequate any more but dunno how to create new marshaller in queen-beecon-service.h:
Code:
g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__STRING__INT
I tried
Code:
        queen_beecon_signals[SIG_CONTENT_UPDATED] = g_signal_new("sig_content_updated",
                                                                        QUEEN_BEECON_TYPE,
                                                                        G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST,
                                                                        G_STRUCT_OFFSET (QueenBeeconClass, queen_beecon_dbus_sig_content_updated),
                                                                        NULL, NULL,

                                                                        G_TYPE_INT);
but I still keep not receiving any signal on the bus.

I believe you need to generate the marshaller yourself. This is how I do it in headset-control:

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.29 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
  string ":1.29"
signal sender=:1.13 -> dest=(null destination) serial=44 path=/oh/no/more/qbwid2; interface=oh.no.more.qbw; member=sig_content_updated
  string ""
  int32 0

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
it would be kkool if you can add one more feature in it, the preview showing a size ,colors,....base on the config so you dont have to save and back out and save and back out to edit the config, would save time and would be nice see the design.

All supported Backup/Restore/Save/Load features are in the WIKI HOW TO
I'm mainly focusing in developing Core functionalities right now.
Service functionalities will maybe come once release is stable and tested.

Hildon Widgets do have several graphical/functional constraints ... it would be very effort consuming (and code-fattener) to develop an internal preview/miniature of the final widget look & feel.
I personally spend far much more time in developing the scripts/command driving the Beecons than customizing its graphical aspect.
It always turns out that you just need to change 3/4 parameters and ignore the other ones.
5mins average once you get acquainted to it.
Let me say that effort/benefit ratio makes it not worthy to spend time in this direction as, almost always and on the average, made 100 the time spent on the whole Beecon process creation, 70 goes to scripting, 25 to photoshopping backgrounds, icons & images, 5 to assemble final QBW settings.

If possible, please could someone create a 'BeeCon' to display random images from Flickr's 'Most Interesting' pages? That would be great!

Yes I think so - I wanted it to work like the 'Yahoo' desktop widget which I think must draw from the same pool (not sure). Not sure how you would get it to change images though, time delays between changes etc etc.

I wish I could try, but I have absolutely no knowledge of commands or Linux and this widget, although having great potential, it a bit too complex for me to configure without support!

Actually, I do have a bug, too: The choice of Nokia Sans fonts are invalid as it's "Nokia Sans" and not "Nokia, Sans"; and, indeed, when selecting Nokia Sans, it looks like plain Sans.

I'd like to place in a request for replacing that font dialog with http://wiki.maemo.org/Hildon-Extras#HeFontDialog because I also like the Droid Fonts but I'm biased...

I seem to be having a bit of a problem getting the Ebay Snippet to work correctly. I followed your instructions (very clear - many thanks) but I cannot seem to get a correct output, i.e. I edit the ebay item number and click "Save and Run" and I get the item title and picture, but no timer.

Having read your recent message about the Flickr snippet I installed "Wget" application but this doesn;t appear to have done the trick.

What might be useful is a suggested 'default' for layout, font etc to optimise the appearance of the widget maybe?

Many thanks

Tom

Hi - please is it possible to alter the script to point the snippet to here:

http://m.flickr.com/#/explore/interesting/

Think the other page is static - my fault, sorry!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Customizable and flexible monitoring tool.
 
My widgets aren't auto-updating. I removed .queen_beecon, restarted the desktop, and recreated the MLB example (see following post for some improvements). It works fine when I click it, but doesn't update every 5 minutes. I did double-check the settings, and it's set correctly. Grepping .queen_beecon shows delayIndex=3.

Any thoughts as to why the timers aren't firing? If it's relevant, it was working earlier and then stopped; the clean restart was an attempt to get it to work properly.

So MLBeeCon is truly wonderful; thanks, No!No!No!Yes!

But I follow more than one team. And of course some people care about seeing certain teams lose, e.g. during a pennant race. So here's a somewhat fancier script. Drop it someplace convenient (I put it in /home/user/bin) and make it executable (chmod +x script-name). Then invoke it as:

/home/user/bin/mlbeecon CWS CWC -STL

which says you want to cheer for the White Sox, the Cubs, and whoever is playing Saint Louis.

The icon smiles if more of your teams win than lose, frowns if losers outnumber winners, and is smug if everything is balanced.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Fetch MLB scores and colorize them for use with Queen BeeCon.
#
USAGE='Usage: mlbeecon [team] [team] [-team] ...'
#
# Each team is an abbreviation used on the m.mlb.com site.  A team preceded
# by a minus sign is a "team you love to hate;" the icon becomes happy if
# that team loses.  The icon is happy if more teams win than lose, angry
# if losing dominates, and smug if the losers equal the winners.  (Ties
# aren't considered in this calculation.)

# Since ESPN thinks the world runs on Eastern time, use that for the
# date/time display at the top.  That makes it easier to read the
# schedule.  Change this field to $TZ if you prefer using your own
# timezone.
DISPLAYZONE=US/Eastern
#DISPLAYZONE=$TZ

# When we fetch the scores, we use a time zone a few hours to the
# west; this ensures that games that are in progress after midnight
# EST will still be shown; the next day's schedule won't come up until
# about 6 AM EST.
GRABZONE=US/Hawaii

EDIT 19-Aug-2010: one of the problems with screen scraping is that it breaks when the Web site changes its layout. ESPN just did that; this edit contains a rewritten version that works with the new ESPN site design.

First, thanks for posting my script. I forgot to mention that I'd appreciate you doing that.

Based on timestamps in /var/lib/dpkg/info, it looks like I did an update about two days ago, at 08:55 Zulu on 2010-May-20. But the md5sums are from Mar 16, which I find odd. Surely you've done a release since then? How do I find out the version I'm running?

For people with TIMER issues ... could you please provide QBW Release you are using and any other info you believe pertinent like for example:
  • It was working and now it doesn't
  • I did this and that and now is not working
  • I installed <xxx>, <yyy>, ... and now ...
  • ...

No!No!No!Yes! 2010-05-22 22:16

Is it just a timer issue you have here? What kind of output do you get?

wget is not supposed to cause timer issues...anything else to report here?
