http://czb.dcmembers...gins/Timer/Timer.zip
-> 404 Not Found
    The requested URL /Plugins/Timer/Timer.zip was not found on this server.

is there a new URL to download the plugin?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FScript Javascript SDK - Write FARR plugins in javascript and more.

Special thanks to ewemoa - 2 of your tips did the trick 

Trick #1: Python v3 is NOT working
After installing Python 2.6 the plug-in showed up in the list

Trick #2: Python requires the whole signature for onSearchBegin
Even though the java script samples don't use the whole signature, python seems to need all parameters including "modifierstring" and "triggermethod"

A big 'thank you' for the useful tips
now I can go on and experience the new possibilities.

[1] I didn't even notice the plugin appearing...

This is exactly what happend to me at first.
(I don't know what has changed that the plugin finally showed up)

-> Seems like I will have to work with Python v2.6

But I will also try this at first:

Ah, I didn't mention this earlier, but my sense of the corrupt text was that this happens if some of certain variables (e.g. releasedatestring) are not defined.

Thanks again

Tonight I will try out the suggested signature for onSearchBegin:
def onSearchBegin(querykey, explicit, queryraw, querynokeyword,
                  modifierstring, triggermethod):

Thanks for the tips so far.

I will try the newest version of FScript and I will also try to get TodoTXT running.
I don't like the idea of downgrading to Python v2.x - but if we are running out of ideas I will also test this one.

Any other suggestions?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Can you help me getting started with a Pyhton script?

« Last post by ChrisVN on March 01, 2009, 07:26 AM »

Hello

First of all:
Thanks for FARR and FScript. I like controlling the PC with the keyboard - so this is a perfect tool 

As a former programmer I like the idea of extending the functionality with Python scripts.
I have been searching for a while for a reason to start learning Pyhton 

So: I am new to FARR and Python and got stuck in the beginning.

What I tried to do: I converted the sample ruby-script to the Pyhton syntax.
BUT: the plugin doesn't show up at all in the list of plugins
OR: the proberties of the plugin only contain strange characters like ??????? (see attachted screenshot)

My Setup:
 - Windows Vista
 - ActiveState Python v3
 - FARR
 - FScript dll v1.8.0.0

I created a directory with those files:
c:\Program Files\FARR\Plugins\TESTPython\FScript.dll
c:\Program Files\FARR\Plugins\TESTPython\FScript.ico
c:\Program Files\FARR\Plugins\TESTPython\fscript.py

At this point I have no idea what the problem is 
Any ideas to help me?

Thanks
Chris

p.s.:
this is the pyhton script:

Code: Python [Select]

1. displayname="TESTPython"
2. versionstring="0.0.1"
3. author="Author"
4. iconfilename="FScript.ico"
5. aliasstr="ttt"
6. regexstr=""
7. regexfilterstr=""
8. keywordstr=""
9. scorestr="300"
10.  
11. # type
12. UNKNOWN=0; FILE=1; FOLDER=2; ALIAS=3; URL=4; PLUGIN=5; CLIP=5;
13. # Postprocessing
14. IMMEDIATE_DISPLAY=0; ADDSCORE=1; MATCH_AGAINST_SEARCH=2;
15. # search state constants
16. STOPPED=0; SEARCHING=1;
17.  
18. def onSearchBegin(querykey, explicit, queryraw, querynokeyword):
19.   FARR.setState(querykey,SEARCHING) #start search
20.   #   return result to farr  (queryID,       , title                            ,path                            , icon                         , entrytype=FILE , resultpostprocessing=2        ,  score=300)
21.   FARR.emitResult(querykey,"python TITLE", "python PATH", iconfilename, ALIAS    ,IMMEDIATE_DISPLAY ,5000)
22.   FARR.setState(querykey,STOPPED) #stopped search
