How to simplify? This works in the Simulator but not on my Clip+.

[KiwiCam]

Code: [Select]

%ax%Vl(q,53,20,65,10,6)

This is what I want to achieve. This works in the Simulator (haven't tried the Theme Editor), but not on the Clip itself:

Code: [Select]

%?bp<%?bc<%t(2)%acCHARGING;%t(2)%ac%%%bl|%t(2)%acCHARGED;%t(2)%ac%%100>|%?if(%bl,<=,5)<%t(2.0)%acCHARGE;%t(0.5)%acBATTERY;%t(0.5)%acLOW|%t(3.0)%ac%?cu<Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday>;%t(3.0)%ac%ce;%ac%t(3.0)%ac%?cm<January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December>>>

This DOES work on the Clip (and of course the Simulator), so it seems that the first is just a tad too much for the Clip itself:

Code: [Select]

%?bp<%?bc<%acCHARGING|%acCHARGED>|%?if(%bl,<=,5)<%t(2.0)%acCHARGE;%t(0.5)%acBATTERY;%t(0.5)%acLOW|%t(3.0)%ac%?cu<Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday>;%t(3.0)%ac%ce;%ac%t(3.0)%ac%?cm<January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December>>>

Do you have any suggestions as to how to code this better (the first bit of code)?

I have another challenge:

In the above code, I'm flashing the Day %ce. I'd like to add 'st' as in 1st, 'nd', 'rd or 'th' to this, depending on the number. What would be the easiest way to code this please?

Numbers ending in 'st' 1,21,31
Numbers ending in 'nd' 2 & 22
Numbers ending in 'rd' 3 & 23
Numbers ending in 'th' 4-20 & 24-30   (I think that's right)


PS: Is there a way to get the Forum Screen to fit within my Laptop Screen size, without having to scroll for miles to the right?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the first blob but the number ending could be done with some horrible use of %?if..

%?if(%ce, = 1)<st|%?if(%ce, = 21)<st|%?if(%ce, = 31)<st|%?if(%ce, = 2)<nd|%?if(%ce, = 22)<nd|%?if(%ce, = 3)<rd|%?if(%ce, = 23)<rd|th>>>>>>>

although if this is something which would be useful it could be added to the language.

The other thing that I wanted to say was: how do oyu like this sort of tag:
%ll(days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday)  <- setup a list of strings...
... then use it like this:
%ld(days, %cu) <- i.e display the value of days[%cu]

That'd be brilliant. So, I gather with something like that, I could do:

%ll(days,1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th....31st)
%ld(days,%cd)

Would there be any way to be able to make use of Bitmaps with this?

[JdGordon]

you can already do that with bitmaps. load a bitmap strip and then do %xd(label, %cd)

I'm quite happy to add this tag once the major rework patch goes in, just ned to be reminded... maye the weelend

[KiwiCam]

Great. I'll set a reminder for my Saturday morning.

[KiwiCam]

I forgot to remind you.

Do you know if the %ll & %ld will make it into 3.10?

[JdGordon]

for sure it wont be in 3.10 as that branch is only for bug fixes now. And it hasnt been done yet so dunno when it will happen

[KiwiCam]

OK. Thanks. And those Skin theme changes? Will they be in the 3.10 build?

[JdGordon]

"those" which?

[JdGordon]

nope

[KiwiCam]

OK. At least I can still play around with the release I have. What are the chances of it being released in the next version?

[JdGordon]

releases are "stable" checkpoints we do every couple of months and have no real meaning for users that want the latest stuff. Just use the current build which is rebuilt every checkin and forget about the release

[KiwiCam]

Gotcha. I was thinking about posting any themes and that it states that it works with 3.x or whatever. That site figures that out for me anyway, so I realise now that I don't need to worry about that.
