[Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget - Shows Today Schedules for TVRage.com Favourites TV Serials
 

Customize Queen BeeCon Widget (>=v0.1.4) to display:
Today Schedules for TVRage.com Favourites TV Serials
The Beecon will also provide a small miniature if your most favourite Show is aired on the day.
For this example we will assume our favourite TV Show is "House"

TVRage is the most awesome site for TV Shows related material and personal customization I ever dealt with.

Prerequisite is the creation of an account on the site:

Once you're registered proceed to the My Shows URL and you'll be able to populate your TV Shows portfolio with your choices.

Once finished, proceed to the TV Schedule RSS Feed and find out (take note of the URL) the feed for your today's shows:
http://i44.tinypic.com/14wul3d.png
You will need this URL to modify the Beecon command after importing the Beecon Instance Data (so you'll fetch YOUR favourite Shows - and NOT MINE!!!! :D)

Now get ready for the Beecon Import!

Preparation Steps:

1. Download and Install Queen Beecon Widget (>=v0.1.4) (Warning! It's still in extras-devel; if you like it, I need your support for testing and promoting to Testing and Extras)
   
   
2. Save icons/images attached to the post (or Download and extract zip file attached to the thread for your convenience) and store images in the specified N900 directory, create it if not existing. (Warning: inside the zip file there could be images with numbers appended to common graphic filenames extensions - ex. football-icon.png.3 - this is NOT an error!) - Do NOT save the following images as their filename will not be correct!

After import is successfully finished, there are still some more things you need to do: Let's customize your own RSS feed source and change your most favourite Show!!!

1. Let's start the Main Settings Dialog Box Again and click on the "Edit Cmd" button

   ... http://www.tvrage.com/myrss.php?tid=8891&hash=10101011001010010011010 ...

   ---

3. And replace it with the personal RSS feed you discovered before. Watch out not to miss the " (double quotes) both before and after the URL
   
   
4. Let's scroll the command code until you find the following string:
   
   
   Code:

   ---

   ... f="- House" ...

   ---

5. And replace it with your favourite Show name ( ex. "- Supernatural"; "- " before Show name is important and must exist). Watch out not to miss the " (double quotes) both before and after the Show
   
   
6. Save changed command with relevant button
   
   
7. You now want to change the miniature for your favourite show: just create/download your own, size it at your will, give it a new name (ex. "supernatural.png") & drop it into specified directory for images
   
   
8. Find then the following setting and change it according to your new image name (ex. "supernatural.png")
   http://i44.tinypic.com/jzy3cn.png
   
   
9. If you have many more TV Shows you'll maybe would like to also change the background of the Beecon with a bigger one or resize the Beecon and set the current background image to scale accordingly
   
   
10. Adjust as usual your Update Policies and Intervals and "Save and Run" your new Beecon

Have Fun!!!
