[Q] Calculate GMail unread messages - Zooper Widget General

Hi,
I have been using Zooper pro for the last few months on my stock Nexus 5 with Apex launcher and still have not managed to show a unread messages count from three different GMail "folders". While it seems to be working in general, displaying the resulting number of all unread messages count in a single number won't work:
[c=#FF0000][tl]$(#SUG#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_notification#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_social#)=1?1 E-Mail$$(#SUG#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_notification#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_social#)>1?(#SUG#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_notification#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_social#) E-Mails$$#SMCALLS#=1? #SMCALLS# Anruf$$#SMCALLS#>1? #SMCALLS# Anrufe$$#SUSMS#>0? #SUSMS# SMS$[/tl][/c]
Whenever there are more than one (1) unread messages - I had like 160 e-mails the other day - "(6+64+89) E-Mails" instead of "159 E-Mals". I tried to Google it and tested various formats but I could not find out how to display the sum...
Thanks so much in advance!
Cheers!

I invested another few hours on this and found out that using this calculation to display the value as in
$(#SUG#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_notification#+#SUG^sq_ig_i_social#)$
works pefectly returning a single number of unread e-mails, but if used in a conditional
1.) greater/equal or else expression results are wrong
2.) displaying the string above just displays "(0+1+1)" depending on the unread message counts
Does anyon know how to add the three variables and use the result in a conditional? Or is it possibe to assign the result of the calculation to a variable which I then use for the conditional?
Thanks so much in advance!
Cheers...

Because I could not stop looking for a solution I changed from a calculation of folders to the use of #SUG^all# instead.
Downside was/is the way GMail calculates "all" e-mails, I had to delete/mark all GMails read I had ever just deleted and I need to mark them as read from now on before I delete them - but now I have the time to chase this without being annoyed by brackets whenever I got more than one unread GMail.
So still - why does Zooper treat calculations differently in a conditional compared to a simple calculation?
Cheers!

I am, kind of, dealing the same issue...take a look at following link;
http://www.jagwar.de/en/show-notification-counts-in-zooper-with-tasker/
I know this uses Tasker as additional tool, but still whenever I have more than 1 email, email count always shows 1.
if you figure out, drop me a line!

Help with K9 mail is there a good thread or forum for this software?

I installed K9 Mail. wow am I impressed with this. I mean really impressed.
I have 5 issues. I am wondering if there is a FORUM anywhere for K9 ??
#1 Sound notifications. it plays one for EVERY single message that comes in. is there a setting anywhere (I looked did not find one) to make it only announce ONCE until I check the mail like gmail does?
#2 When I click the icon to open K9 it goes to the menu with 3 options.
Unified Inbox
All Message
gmail (my account)
I never EVER want to see this screen. now it has an option to check for "goto unified" when you starup but it appears to have no effect.
when I click the "notification" in the status bar it goes directly to unified.
but when I click a shortcut to the k9 application 100% of the time it loads that menu first and I have to then click Unified Inbox to goto mail.
anyway to fix this?
#3
I have mine set for VERY TINY text. I LOVE that I get so much info on the screen really love it.
problem is I can not tell the difference between "read" and "not read" messages. is there anyway to differenciate it more?
I am using the dark theme.
there is a difference. read is offwhite unread is bright white but its VERY hard to make this distinction on the screen at this font size.
#4 some message have a "gray" highlight over the entire message entry on the list. What does this mean?
in relation to #3 this would be PERFECT for distinguishing read and unread. ie grey highlight for unread no grey highlight for read (this is now how its being used now)
#5 There is a BLUE BAR at the top that says Unified Inbox # etc.. etc..
is there anyway to remove this? its useless info I just don't need and would rather it goaway (I could see it being useful if you had multiple mail boxes but I don't)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
besides these quirks (and they are rather minor quirks for the most part) I and FLAT OUT impressed. Hard core. with this program.

Dealing with dollar signs in calendar titles?

Ok, im having a fun problem with a custom calendar widget.
If i have a rich text layer that also contains a conditional, zooper throws an error when calendar items have $ in them.
Ive tested it pretty heavily, and this breaks the widget every time, and ive tried every formatting option i can find for the conditional...
Calendar item title: "calendar test $10"
Rich text: $2>1?yes:no$ #C1TITLE#
Alternate test: $(1+1)$ #C1TITLE#
This is the simplest conditional i can find.
Even with the conditional on a separate line, it still breaks.
If i remove the conditional, the variable displays properly
Is there a way to escape an entire variable so that the $ is ignored, or am i doing something wrong with the conditional itself?
Thanks in advance.
Instead of using a rich text module use a regular text module and see if that works.
As long as your rich text module contains a conditional there's no way to escape a dollar sign. However it looks like a regular text module doesn't have the problem with dollar signs in variables that rich text modules do.
Thanks for confirming that its not just my system.
Unfortunately, not being able to color code the calendar widget makes it almost completely useless.
On the plus side, apparently adding a conditional like this also causes zooper to process Bbcode passed in from tasker variables. So i can use tasker to process out/escape the offending characters, and generate the widget text there.
Its turning into a really ugly workaround though, since tasker doesnt handle calendar data well.
Is there an official place to make requests/bug reports, or should i just send the zooper devs an email?

Display the text body of an unread text message

Hi all,
I have read many things about zooper especially its capacity to display counter of unread text messages.
I'd like to know if it is possible to create a widget that displays the text of the unread text messages, to display them on lock screen with widget locker for instance.
Thank you.
You can use Tasker's %SMSRB variable to capture the text body then output it to Zooper as a tasker variable so you can display it. Tasker also has functions to get the text senders details as well as the info for missed calls and last Email, but you will only be able to view the next text,call,etc recieved after you reference the data so it won't show what is already on your phone.

Thank you for your return, that's exactly what i was looking for.

[Q] Displaying separate unread/new counts for different email clients

[Not sure if I should be posting this in the general Themer forum or Zooper forum. Mods, please move if in the wrong place.]
I am using Zooper which came bundled with Themer, and was editing one of the themes I downloaded when I ran into this problem. Some backround info then:
I use Gmail (personal email). Setting Themer's default mail app to "Inbox" (the google app) or "Gmail" accurately displays the unread count if I'm using #SUG# or #UEmail#
I also have Lotus Notes Traveler (work email). I am unable to set the correct variable. However, if I set the default themer email app to "Mail" (the work email client), it shows the unread count if I use #SUG# or #UEmail#. Similarly, if I define default SMS app as my work email client, and set the widget to show #SUSMS# or #USMS#, it also shows my unread work emails.
Where I run into a problem is having the widget show separate counts for personal and work emails. I thought I'd be clever and swap the themer default app to my work email, and use #UEmail# to show work email counts, and #SUG# (and all variations e.g. #SUG^all#) to show personal emails, but it seems Themer/Zooper does not differentiate between the two, and the unread counts only show work email (where work email client is set as default mail app in Themer).
Something I think might work would be to set #Upkgname# where pkgname is the package name for the work email client. Unfortunately I have no idea what the package name is. Googling around shows that it could be com.lotus.sync.traveler, but change the variable to #Ucom.lotus.sync.traveler# does not work either.
As additional info, the default variables provided are #USMS#, #UEmail#, #Upkgname#, #Ucom.whatsapp#
There should be a workaround to this but I'm just not seeing it. I understand people have had success showing email counts in different clients using a combination of Tasker and Zooper, but I'm going to use that as a last resort since I don't want to pay for something only to find out it doesn't help with my problem.

tasker notification

so i have read tonnes of tutorials on creating zooper unread message/ email, counters. i also i know how to turn sms/email text (and specify subject, sender, content) to speech or flash in Tasker.
so i feel like i should be able to make sms or email notifications appear on zooper widget, but can't figure it out. i dobt just want a plus 1 variable for a counfer, i want the text from the message.
does any one know how to do this.?
