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.

I would like to have a zooper widget popup notification with the following information:
Contact Photo
Sender's name
SMS message
Reply button
.......appear when I receive an SMS.
I would like the Contact Photo to appear in a layer UNDER the circle in the top left corner of the background image (see attached image).
I tried to create a Scene in Tasker, using this Tutorial: (http://taskerfans.blogspot.com/2013/05/popup-sms-notifier-via-tasker-scene.html?m=1), but the contact photo does not show up for some reason. The Sender's # and message inside the SMS show up in the Tasker Scene, so I have created variables for that information, but I'd like to try to incorporate that into Zooper Widget. So I guess my questions are:
Can Zooper Widget be used as an SMS Popup w/ or w/out the purchase of the popup widget app?
Can Tasker variables for Contact Photo be used?
Is there some sort of SMS Popup example here on XDA that I may be able to use as a reference? Searching, but haven't found...

SMS Contact Photo Zooper Widget
So, I have already designed a widget that displays SMS count. I also have the popup widget app and have enabled a shortcut on the SMS count to open another Zooper widget.
This Zooper widget will display my last received SMS. I am having a bit of trouble displaying the Contact Photo.
I created a profile in Tasker
Profile: SMSpop
Event: Received Text
Type: Any
Task: txt pop
1. Test: Type - Contact Photo URI, Data - %SMSRF, Store Result in: %contactphoto (Continue Task after Error)
2. Plugins/Zooper Widget Pro Variable: Configuration: #TContact Photo# = %contactphoto
I have the following in the advanced parameters of the bitmap yet I am not seeing the contact photo appears. It actually does appear in the Scene I created with Tasker, but Tasker doesn't allow me accurate resizing and image placement like zooper does.
even tried w/out the bracketed b's and it still didn't work.

The problem here is, that Zooper only can load pictures from the sdcard. The path you get through the task you posted is an internal path instead, which Zooper doesn't currently support. What you would need to do is to save the picture in Tasker to the sdcard and then push that sdcard location to Zooper. Then this should work I think.

hmm. Didn't know that. Not exactly sure how I can pass that variable set for Contact Photo URI to the SD yet, but it's a start...Thanks.
Edit: Media Utilities saves coverart to internal memory and is able to display in Zooper.
/storage/sdcard0/Pictures/mu_coverart
sdcard0 being internal, of course.
Tried to copy contents listed in screenshot above, but Tasker is unable to locate that directory. Es File browser can't either. I'm rooted and should have the correct permissions.
Can anyone help me find the variable for unread Hangout messages? I don't use the built in messaging app, so that variable doesn't work for me. I'm on a VZW Note 3, if that helps.
try this tutorial

I don't think Zooper has a hangouts variable built into it unfortunately. You can try following this tutorial to simulate a variable for unread Hangout messages. You will need Tasker though, and it is not quite the same as having the variable built in.

google search for: Tasker - Application's Unread Counts with Zooper Widget
Should be the first hit.
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!
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?
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.?
