Hello,
is is possible to export a Tasker Task to an app that send a variable to Zooper? In my case I don't get the right data in Zooper.

Tasker has an addon called Tasker App Factory which allows you to export tasks, scenes, etc as an installable APK and you don't even need Tasker to use that APK after it's been created I already made some apps with this and it works pretty well.
After you've installed the App Factory, you can use it via the "Export" function from within Tasker by choosing the "To App" function.

Yes, this I know. But now I noticed, that I have two different dateformats directly in Tasker and in the generated app. This is, why Zooper shows me wrong data. This is a tasker-problem, not a Zooper, so I am wrong in this forum.

Hi, is there any way of hiding apps in the apps drawer? There are a number of apps like license keys that are in the drawers which I obviously don't want to get rid of but also don't particularly want to see every time I open it.
My phone is rooted, but I don't want to use a different launcher, I like Sense.
edit. sorry posted in the wrong section - should've been in the general section. Can a mod move it?
Just to reply to my own question. If you have a rooted DHD and have Titanium Backup then "Freeze" removes an app from the drawer. I have hidden my license key for Touchdown for example (touchdown still works) and swept all that social networking vaporware out of the way as well. I haven't deleted, just hidden them to make updates easier.

Does anyone know what "Latitude" is called in HTC/Android speak?

I think Google Latitude is a feature on Maps that lets you share your current location with friends if you choose to.

Right, but it also appears as an "app" button in the app drawer. Does this mean I can't get rid of it? All that social networking stuff really bugs me.
Launcher Pro allows you to hide apps in the drawer (without root).
So I was wondering if there is a way to set a variable to something, then change it dynamically based on an event. Here is an example of an end goal with what I mean. So you make a widget that shows the forecast and all items have some form of
[bo]$#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?0:100$[/bo]
To hide if media is playing (when combined with media utilities). I would like to take this a bit further and say, if I have that same widget, a forecast widget and down in the corner is an icon, by clicking that icon(the event) it changes the value of a variable in zooper, and the widget can change based on that. Much like with the TMU_ISPLAYING, except with this, your click changes the variable and not an outside app. Does anyone know if this is possible at all, even just a very random workaround solution would be cool, I just want to be able to change a widget based on a click. Thanks in advance.

This is possible with Tasker. Zooper has a built-in Tasker plugin so you can send data from Tasker to Zooper and I have used it for the same thing you are trying to do. If you are used to work with Tasker it's really easy to setup but if you are new to Tasker, it might take you a bit to figure it out. Here is a link on how this generally works: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-tasker-variables/. To get you started, you can find my task here. To use Tasker tasks from Zooper, you set them as a Module OnTap action via the Tasker shortcut action.
Hope this helps you out enough to get you going
Is there any way to cause Zooper to redraw itself externally (via Tasker for example). I'd like to have it update to a new weather map image that I download regularly with Tasker.
Thanks!

I think you have to use the same trick Media Utilities uses: save the image every time under a different name (this is important to overcome Zooper's internal caching) and then push the new path as a variable to Zooper via it's Tasker plugin. Use that variable as the input for the bitmap absolute path tags in Zooper and it should refresh the picture anytime you send it a new file path. You probably have to only alternate between two filenames but I never have tested it so I'm not sure.
I would like to change the widget locality for a module using a tasker scene. The idea is to click on a hotspot in the zooper widget which starts a tasker scene. From there, I pick a location. This sets a zooper variable in tasker to the new location. Up to here there's no problem. But I don't see how I can use the zooper variable to change the locality of the widget. Is there a way to do it?

No, Zooper currently doesn't support changing the location via external means
@VeryGenericUser are you trying to get a map of your current location? Directions from where you are to home or someplace else?

No. The idea was to change the location for the weather forecast. I wanted to have a Zooper weather widget for my current location by default, but still be able to manually change the location with two clicks right from my home screen, for example to set the locality to the place I'm about to travel to.
OK. Why don't you make your Tasker scene to change the parameters of an HTTP GET to something like Yahoo weather. In your scene change the city or zip code and be able to enable or disable the profile.
In Zooper hide the travel weather if you don't have it and show it if you do.
I haven't had the chance to play with scenes yet. Scraping an RSS feed for weather I know how. Have to do a bunch of variable splits.
If you want I can create the RSS scrape and then you can do what you need to do.
Let me know!

Thanks, that might be a way to do it, but it would be more elaborate. Maybe I'll get to it one day when I have more time.
Is there any way for Zooper to pull the time of active alarms in Timely? I can only seem to pull the stock alarms, but I never use the stock alarm app.
I suppose I could mess around with tasker and have tasker pull the timely alarms and set the stock alarm to match, and vice versa but that seems a little convoluted.

If Timely doesn't use Android's native alarm settings, you'll have to go through Tasker. Only the alarms reported by the system are currently supported in Zooper.

Thanks for the response duder. You know if there's timely extension for tasker? I'm not pulling it up on the big list of plugins.
Seeing as its one of the most popular apps on Play for one of the most often functions of a smartphone that it'd make a great addition to the short list of Zooper's app integration priority!

After a quick search it seems like there is no plugin available. Might be that even the mighty Tasker is not able to get the alarm settings out of Timely.
I can't speak for the Zooper devs but judging from their development focus up to now, I don't think extended app integration is a priority. Especially, if those apps don't provide any way to actually get the data as it seems to be the case with Timely.
