czechboy: Hint for the future: Use a versioning system like SVN

czb · « **Reply #101 on:** September 22, 2008, 04:36 PM »

you are right

that is one of the reasons why I would like to see plugin CMS with versioning etc

It seems there is some bug at dcmembers.com site so meanwhile you can download the correct (hopefuly) version here:

Thanks czechboy!

Your timer has become a tool I now frequently use.

Oh goody!

now timer.zip file from the dcmembers.com should work as usual

mouser · « **Reply #106 on:** September 23, 2008, 08:25 PM »

hitting enter doesnt work for me on new version.

mouser · « **Reply #107 on:** September 24, 2008, 08:01 AM »

I found out why my latest install of timer wasn't working -- the directory for storing the timer.txt settings was reset to a non-existent directory, which caused the plugin to not work.

If you get this behavior, time "tm settings" and specify a valid directory.

CleverCat · « **Reply #108 on:** September 24, 2008, 09:14 AM »

It works for me - first time it's worked with FARR window popping up message!

Ta czechboy...

Good news everyone!

Sorry, could not resist. But it works!

If the file at dcmembers.com has been updated (as it seems from Reply #105), the version should be incremented as well, so that DcUpdater detects the change.

Thanks for the tip mouser. For some reason, I missed your post.
So, yes... It works...

It should be nice to have an option like:

everyday at 5PM some alert

By the way: nice addon; thanks!

I've read this thread and searched the whole of the forums but I still can't get this to work.

If I type (for example)

tm in 20 Hello

then I get the message box with all the details of the countdown (20 seconds, text: hello), so far so good. But I can't get it to accept the entry.

This thread seem to imply that I need to press period (.) but that doesn't work. It just puts adds the period to the entry. I've also tried enter, tab .... with no success. I can't find any way to get it to accept the countdown. Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem with me having a UK rather than US keyboard (altough Period / Full Stop are both in the same place).

czb · « **Reply #113 on:** October 13, 2008, 05:49 AM »

It should work without period as well just by hitting enter. try to type "tm settings" and check if everything is set correctly

everyday at 5PM some alert

I will probably add it when I have time

Period doesn't seem to do anything.

Pressing enter just results in the timer message window closing and FARR showing "Found 0 results in 0 seconds" under the input box.

If I then type "tm" into the input box it says "Next event in: no timer set" at the bottom of the timer message window.

If I type "tm settings" then it display the mainly blank timer message window (with the "TYPE:" message at the top, date and time at the bottom and the "no timer set" message at the bottom). Then after a few seconds the "timer settings - windows internet explorer" box opens).

czb · « **Reply #115 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:37 AM »

Is there anything in the timer settings windows internet explorer box? also try to delete and install timer from scratch because we had some issues of having wrong version of timer on http and we could not get rid of it

also try to deleted and install timer

I delete the timer and reinstalled it (by downloading the Zip file as it wasn't listed in DCUpdater after deleting it for some reason). Once reinstalled I got the internet explorer settings box showing (exactly the same before (ie. with setting details in it)). I then clicked on send and it all seemed ok. DCUpdater is listing it and shows the same version as before (1.01.13).

It will now accept timers if I press enter, but it still doesn't accept period/full stop. From my point of view it now works and is easy to use. However, somebody else might still have a problem as the forum tends to refer to period rather than pressing enter. So I'm happy but it might need a look to make the documentation clearer for other people.

Thanks for the help on this.

sir... you have just made my life better!
thank you!

CleverCat · « **Reply #119 on:** December 14, 2008, 05:47 AM »

I have a question! Why does the pop up not only speak your Text but also the ":p:" for preset?

I laugh when I hear - "You have a reminder - make an Image p!"

czb · « **Reply #120 on:** December 30, 2008, 12:21 PM »

CleverCat: I will correct it

czb · « **Reply #121 on:** December 30, 2008, 12:30 PM »

CleverCat · « **Reply #122 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:09 AM »

Actually, I just leave out the :p: now! What diffs does the preset make czb?

czb · « **Reply #123 on:** January 01, 2009, 11:07 AM »

the timer marked as preset is saved in preset section, so anytime you can call it out.

PS: timer needs some rewriting and polishing of the code. I will do it in a month

CleverCat · « **Reply #124 on:** January 02, 2009, 11:36 AM »

Understood...It works great anyway, I use it every day! I like the way it still reminds me even if I boot up after the reminder time!
