Konfabulator widget released - version 0.91

Post by **Neil** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 2:20 pm

The date shown by the widget represents the date of your stats.

At the time of writing, it should be displaying "22/11/05". As long as the version says "0.53", then you have the latest version.

Remember that the widget updates your stats every 8 hours from MundayWeb, so it is possible that the stats shown in your sig may not match those shown by the widget.

You can get the widget to update either reloading the widget or my making a configuration change. Both will cause the widget to download your latest stats.

Hope this helps,

Neil.

I've tried reloading....it still says 20/11/05 in the corner.

I went to the preferences and typed in 1 as the userID and got your stats. It came up with 22/11/05 in the corner but mine won't.

I've even removed Konfab from my system and reinstalled it (i deleted the hidden files in my user folder as well just to be sure).

It still won't update.

What version of the widget are you using is it 0.53 or 0.52

Now that you mention mine also says 20/11/05 and it has updated today to the server as it asked for an internet connection earlier so I know it has updated

0.53

Can you try loading user ID 2116 and see whether youget my stats with 22/11 at the bottom

Tried entering the ID you gave me just came us as the 20th reinput mine afterwards and that also came back as the 20th, maybe there is a bug in the new release of just some kind of server error not updating the widget display

Glad it's not just me.

Re-installing Konfab now. Did a total system cleanout - registry, the works.

Hi,

I have investigated the problem further, and the problem is with the XML feed that supplies the data to the widget.

I will amend the code when I return home from my business trip either later tonight, or sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for pointing out the problem,

Neil.

That something I'm not going to do until Neil has a look to see what the problem could be it could just be something wrong at his end with some of our accounts

Hi,

I've fixed the XML feed and all should be fine now.

Thanks for pointing out the error.

Neil.

Hi all,

I have released version 0.6. It adds many new features, please see the revision history for further info.

In brief:
- added a choice of background images
- the update feature will now allow you to go to the download page to get the latest version of the widget
- various colour preferences

It should be noted that some of the code for these modifications was supplied by Alan Barker (aka Red Squirrel). Again, please see the revision history for further info.

Any probs, let me know.

Am off to bed!

Neil.

Thanks for the new version.

Found a small bug. If you have the background set to "None" the background still shows up. You have to have the background set to "None" and the opacity set to "1"

You'd probably need a third image...a fully transparent PNG file.

There seems to be a small bug with the tooltip as well. It only seems to work when the widget has just been loaded or when the preferences have been changed. Probably because these are the only two "action trigger" events in the widget.
But if the two tooltip statements are changed from "background.tooltip=..." to "windowTitle.tooltip=..." the tooltip appears each time you click on the User Name.
Strange

Maybe the text has different properties than the background,
