------------------------------- ComingNext for Symbian Phones ------------------------------- This widget was originally created by Dr. Cochambre and is now developed and maintained by Michael Prager . It displays the next 12 upcoming events on your S60 5th Edition phone's home screen. It consists of tree separate widgets, displaying 4 events each. For more info or to report bugs, please refer to http://comingnext.sf.net/ and http://www.symbian-freak.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38045 You can change the appearance (background color, font color, font size etc.) and settings from within the widget now. To make the widget background transparent, follow these steps: 1. install "ComingNext Skin Fetcher" on your phone 2. start it on your phone and click on "Generate". It will ask you for the positions of the ComingNext widgets on the homescreen. 3. In the ComingNext widget, enable the "use background image" option and set "background image location" to "external" Supported Devices: ------------------ This widget should be compatible with any Symbian S60 5th and Symbian^3 Edition phone. The homescreen mini view however will only be available on devices which support homescreen widgets. ComingNext has been tested on the following devices: Nokia N97, N97 mini, C6, C7, E7, N8 The fullscreen version of this widget also works on the following devices: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, 5530 XpressMusic, 5230, 5250, 5228, 5230 Nuron, 5235 Ovi Music Unlimited, X6 Known limitations: ------------------ - ToDos might show up although they have been marked "done". This is a bug in Nokia's WRT library: entry.Status sometimes is undefined. - real transparent background: I haven't found a way todo this yet. All the widgets that have transparent background are no WRT widgets. Nokia? - There is no automatic detection if you're in a timezone that uses daylight saving time (DST). By default, the widget assumes that you're in a timezone that has a 1h DST. If this is not the case, please change the "enable Daylight Saving" setting within the widget. - Some users may get an error like "Error: Loading Calendar Service". This is due to a corrupted Symbian configuration file in C:\Private\2000f847. You will have to reset your phone to get rid of the error. Do not restore files from a backup, or you will restore the broken config too. An alternative is to replace the corrupted config file manually, but you will need to hack your phone in order to have access to it. You can find the non-corrupted version of that config here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=276816&atid=1175663&file_id=401828&aid=2956758 More info on this in the bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2956758&group_id=276816&atid=1175663 How to obtain log file for solving issues: ------------------------------------------ In order to analyse problems or bugs, it can help to obtain the detailed widget log file. You can generate a log by following these steps: 1. Within the widget, go to Settings and check "Enable Logging" 2. Open your browser and go to Web > Settings > General 3. Set "JavaScript Error Notification" to "Create Log file" 4. Remove the widget from your homescreen and add it again The log file will be generated here: C:\Data\jslog_widget.log. When you report a problem, send along this file so that the developers can analyse the issue. License: -------- This software is open source and licensed under the GPLv3. See License.txt for details. Changelog: ---------- 1.0 (2009-08-25) by cochambre - initial release by cochambre 1.01 (2009-08-25) by cochambre - fix some language localizations 1.02 (2009-08-27) by cochambre - jquery library removed (ram footprint reduction, about 1 mb now) - displaying ToDos from current day - calendar is loaded up to 2 months ahead of current day (ram footprint reduction) - calendar app launches and closes much faster - more explicit error messages (post them here if you get one) 1.10 (2009-08-27) by Michael Prager - Only 4 lines per widget, also use the bigger default font and a bigger font size - added icons to easier distinguish between todos, meetings, birthdays etc - removed the big icon and the today's date info as this info is already present on the homescreen - format months as numbers instead of text to give more room for the actual event text - display location if set in meetings - only update once per hour. But at the same time, react instantly on any calendar changes made by the user. This is done using a callback. Should save a lot of battery - display all todos from within the last year, if they are not marked as "done". The original version will only display todos that have a termination time in the future. 1.11 (2009-08-27) by Michael Prager - added fix suggested by yves: use InstanceStartTime instead of StartTime if available - use a to align columns instead of loose
boxes - output line number in case of an error. This should help debugging problems internals for developers: - added changelog to keep track of changes more easily - added switch (var panelNum) so the same code can be used for both, "ComingNext" and "ComingNextB" widgets 1.12 (2009-08-28) by Michael Prager - support for all date formats (YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, MM-DD-YYYY) - format dates and times as 01.01 instead of 1.1 - output more details to error log if JavaScript logging is enabled in web browser - added variable to enable/disable ToDos in the event list - added variable to define the number months to include in the event list 1.13 (2009-08-28) by Michael Prager - support for ToDos without dates - support for events without summary - fixed date format parsing for MM-DD-YYYY (finally ;-)) - fixed months beeing off by 1 1.14 (2009-08-28) by Michael Prager - support for fake transparent backgrounds. 1.15 (2009-08-30) by Michael Prager - added separate Readme.txt - use the date format defined by the system (e.g. "31.12" or "12.31") - show a colored "Today" for the current day instead of full date - added options for showTodayAsText, todayText, dateSeparator and weekDayLength. These options can be found at the begin of index.html - added CSS classes for weekday, date, time and description so you can customize everything very easily. Moved these CSS definitions to the begin of index.html so they are easy to spot. - fixed table alignment for very long event descriptions - comingNext is now licensed under the GPLv3 1.16 (2009-08-31) by Michael Prager - applied patch by pcmoore: Fixed a bug where all times are reported as "AM" regardless of the actual event time - applied patch by pcmoore: new option to define which calendar app to start when clicking the widget (calendarApp). By default this is the buildin calendar, but you can run Epocware Handy Calendar or any other app. - 5 new options: showNowAsText, nowText, dateFormat, updateDataInterval and calendarApp - events that last for multiple days will now properly show "Today" - if an event is currently taking place, display "Now" instead of the event staring time. This behaviour can be disabled with the showNowAsText option. You can change the color of the "Now" text by changing the .now CSS class - users can now configure the update interval. The default setting is now 5 minutes. This should not use too much battery, but at the same time keep the "Now" text up-to-date - added option to force a specific date format. dateFormat='auto' (default) will use your phone's setting, 'DDMM' will display day first, 'MMDD' will display month first. 1.17 (2009-09-02) by Michael Prager - fixed anniversaries for today not showing - new option "eventsPerWidget": with this you can define the number of events that will be shown for each widget. - added new CSS class "icon": change this to modify the icon size (very useful if you want to change the number of events) 1.18 (2009-09-04) by Michael Prager - fixed ToDos being shown although includeTodos=false was set - fixed ToDos being shown twice - show text "No further events within 2 months" if there are no events in the list. This behaviour and the text can be changed in the settings 1.19 (2009-09-04) by Michael Prager - refixed problems that 1.18 should have solved (todos not showing, entries showing twice) 1.20 (2009-09-05) by Michael Prager - new project website at http://sourceforge.net/projects/comingnext - fixed memos/anniversaries showing although they have already passed - don't display weekday if date is 'Today' - changed default 'Now' color to #ff00ff to make it different from the 'Today' color - patch by pcmoore: - Fix problem with appointments starting at 12p where they would display as starting 12h later (midnight the following day) - Add a new feature to only display the time for events happening today and only the date for events beyond today (showCombinedDateTime) - Add a new feature to disable showing the location of appointments (showLocation) 1.21 (2009-10-13) by Michael Prager - support daylight saving time (DST).
