[Q] Monthly Calendar

I'm trying to make my own monthly Calendar in Zooper, but i have a big problem. When i say, in advanced parameters, to calculate the day of the week with this string: #D$(#DyMM#010000)$f# i obtain 0 if it's sunday, 1 if it's monday and so on. The problem is that i need to obtain 7 if it's sunday, becaus in italian format week start on monday and finish on sunday.
I can't check it in this way: $#D$(#DyMM#010000)$f#=0?7$ because zooper doesn't recognize nested $...
I think the only way is to change the $(expression)$ for math expressions using another char (maybe § or similar).
Any suggest?

Is your system locale set to italian or are you using it another language (like english for example)? If the later, did you try setting the widget locale to italian?

It's italian.

Then it's probably a bug with Zooper. You should get in touch with the developer to clear it up.

Sorry; but I don't understand where is the problem...
(I'm Italian)
Why is it important for you have 7 on sunday instead 0?
Could you explain why for you this is important?

Because the whole calendar is out of layout. I have the 7th day after saturday... i can't do a screenshot now, 'cause i removed the widget... if you nedd one i can reinstall it.

I'm having the same problem. Using the code [ox]44*#D$(#DyMM#050000)$f#-30[/ox]
[oy]22*#D$(#DyMM#050000)$W#[/oy]
Zooper automatically put the number in the correct position in a grid, but this cause many problem with Sunday.
I was wondering if there's a way to change 0 to 7 using advanced code, but no success til now...

I added days to shift Sundays to end and used % operator to move the remaining days. Now Sundays have to be moved to previous week as well, which required a different technique to compute y offset. Lastly hide 29, 30, 31st if they aren't valid for current month.
Example for day 31 is
[ox]12+23* ((#D$(#DyMM#310000)$f# +5)%7)[/ox]
[oy]2+19*(floor( (#D$(#DyMM#010000)$f#-3+31)/7)+1)[/oy]
[c]$#Dl#<31?#00000000$[/c]
Complete widget is also attached.
Thanks button click?
For those who want to understand code:
12 is x margin, 23 is column width, every day is shifted by 5 so Sunday(1) becomes 6 and week days range between 0 and 6
2 is y margin, 19 is row height, add the day number(31) to the location of 1st day of month and divide by 7 to get week number. floor to discard fraction part. 3 is subtracted to cater for certain changes like 1-7 range change to 0-6 range, Sunday shift etc. first week is 0, 1 is added to all weeks to have week range 1-5 , instead of 0-4

Yesterday I downloaded the template and "installed" on my Smartphone (just for test) but I had a problem.
In your attached image I see a correct Montly Calendar but if I create a Widget using your Template I obtain a Montly Calendar but there is a problem:
(unfortunately I can't post one image because I've already deleted widget and template from my smartphone)
I've same header (Mo, tu, we, etc)
But all the days of the month are "shifted" !?!?! for example 18th isn't under "Sa" Column but is under "Fr" Column ... 19th isn't under "Su" Column but is under "Sa" Column ... etc.
The same error for all days.
I didn't have investigated about the reason of this mistake because I don't need this Widget; I've made only a test ...

That is a know bug. It's because the "day of the week (number)" tag #Df# produces different numbers based on the locale of the device it's used on. Sometimes Sunday is 0, sometimes it's 7 for example.
The developer is aware of it but has not yet provided a solution.

On my Smartphone #Df# for Sunday return 0 (in some widget I make tests on 0 or 6 to color Saturday and Sunday).
You speak about " the locale of the device" to set 0 or 7; where can I set this "locale"?
I'm Italian and I set Language, time, date format, etc. for Italy ... but in Zooper Sunday is 0.

Locale is the language option set for the device. I have mine set to English (US) and for me sunday is 1. If I set it to German it's 0. So maybe I got the 7 wrong and it was 0 and 1 but I'm sure I also read something about a 7... I have to check up on that.
Either way: there is no constant way of determining the value of #Df# and that is why calendar templates based on this method are screwed up on some devices.

Know if upcoming updates will correct this bug?

No, the developer has not yet announced anything specific about this.
It also has to be said that this isn't a bug strictly speaking. Different cultures have different ideas when a week "starts". In europe it's mainly on monday while in north america sunday is the first day of a new week. So the different output of #Df# is actually correct. It just produced unexpected behavior when used for something like this monthly calendar.

Alright so you got the calender to work for Monday throught Sunday, How would the advanced parameters look for a calender Sunday throught Saturday. I can't seem to adjust your calender to work that way. I also could not figure out the X and Y margins. Nothing shifted correctly everytime I tried to change the X and Y for a larger widget. Thanks

Can yor macke .zw fail pls.

I've imported this widget, but there's a problem: in months where the first (of jan, of feb,of mar...) is on Sunday = the last day in week, it is shown in the same row with day names (you can see it in SS).
Does anybody know how to solve it?

[Q] Show start/end days on calendar

I have a sort of agenda made in Zooper of my upcoming calendar appointments, but some events last more than a day (weekend away etc). How can I make this show a start and end date, instead of just the start? At the moment I have, for example:
Saturday 23 November - buy sausages - 11.00
Friday 29 November - weekend away - all day
Wednesday 4 December - do a big poo - all day
How could I make it say:
Saturday 23 November - buy sausages - 11.00
Fri 29 Nov - Sun 1 Dec - weekend away - all day
Wednesday 4 December - do a big poo - all day
Is this even possible? To normally show the date, but if the apoointment lasts more than a day make it show the start and end date? I'm trying to learn it but programming isn't my strong point! Thanks for any help.

Zooper has two date tags per calendar event #C0S...# for the start date and #C0E...# for the end date. What you have to do is compare if the day/month combo of the start is equal to that of the end date and then show different strings based on that. In Zooper conditionals, this should look like this:
Code:
$#C0SddMM# = #C0EddMM#?<your same day string here>:<your different day string here>$
Hope this helps you out

Hi, thanks for that, but I'm afraid I'm totally lost still. I have this at the moment. So I'd change the first part (C0SEEEE dd MMMM, C1SEEEE etc) to what you said, but what exactly am I putting in the same/different day string bit?
Code:
[b]#C0SEEEE dd MMMM#[/b] - #C0TITLE# - $#C0D#=1?All Day:#C0SHH.mm#$
[b]#C1SEEEE dd MMMM#[/b] - #C1TITLE# - $#C1D#=1?All Day:#C1SHH.mm#$
[b]#C2SEEEE dd MMMM#[/b] - #C2TITLE# - $#C2D#=1?All Day:#C2SHH.mm#$
I'm away for a couple of days so if I don't reply soon I'm not being rude. Thanks again.

Here is my solution for the first day. Didn't test it in Zooper though.
HTML:
[b]$#C0SddMM# = #C0EddMM#?#C0SEEEE dd MMMM#:#C0SEEE dd MMM# - #C0EEEE dd MMM#$[/b] - #C0TITLE# - $#C0D#=1?All Day:#C0SHH.mm#$

Perfect, thanks very much!
And then a new problem arrives! The 1-day (all day) events are shown as a 2-day event, as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522974 I can't find the other thread he started, I'm guessing there's no workaround for that yet then if it's a Google matter?

[Q] Highlight Today's Events in Calendar

Is there a way to highlight today's events in a different color font using the Zooper Themer Widget? I know this can be done using the integrated Zooper Calendar Widget (old Simple Calendar Widget) but I like the flexibility afforded by the Themer version. Perhaps using conditionals to test if an event occurs today?

bump!

Hi.
I use this code under Advanced Parameters to highlight (bright yellow) today events:
[c]$#C0SD#=#SDATED#?#ffffff00#$[/c]
if you have several lines in your calendar showing next events you have to change the number 0 in C0SD to the apropiate one (0=first event, 1=second event and so on)

@cierzo I tried what you suggested, but that's just not working. So by trial and error, I got this, and its working. It highlights the "Today Events" in white otherwise they're left gray (default color, in my case)
[c]$#C0SEEEE#=#DEEEE#?#ffffffff$[/c]
@thunderboy19 hope this helps.
Was thinking of the same issue yesterday, until I found your post.
sent from my BatPhone.

According to this page
w w w .zooper.org/wp/android/zw/variables-reference[/url]
(sorry, can't post links so, please, remove spaces to get there)
#DEEEE# stores the name of the day in long format so I think that your code will highlight any future event at the same weekday than today.
Don't know where I found the code that I posted but definetly is not correct thought worked for me.
Try this one instead:
[c]$#C0SyD#=#DyD#?#ffffffff$[/c]
"y" stands for year and "D" stands for day of year.
This should work fine

@cierzo my parameter is working just fine actually.

Try creating your next event (must be the first one as you are using C0S, can be in second, third,... using C1S, C2S...) on next friday, please.

@cierzo Well I have fb sync enabled, so I just changed the system date to 11th (as you might see in the screenshot) & it's just working fine. And its not that I'm arguing our trying to challenge your skill set, it's just what I came across over my usage experience. I may or may not be correct, but I'd learn by making corrections whenever this'd give any issues. No offence. Peace.

No offence, dont' worry.
FIY I just tested your code and it's working as I said before: it highlights future events.
Anyway it's a fantasting widget with lots of possibilities.
I'll keep reading.
Cheers.

I suppose you're not changing the parameter values for the succeeding events. Like
C0SEEE for 1st,
C1SEEE for 2nd and,
C2SEEE for 3rd.
Cz all the events would be highlighted if you'd have set "C0SEEE" in all the lines. Hope you understood.

Let me explain:
Today is Saturday, April 5th
Imagine you have three events shown in your calendar and those events are today, next monday and next saturday
The #DEEEE# variable stores today's value: Saturday
#C0SEEE# stores 1st event day: Saturday. As #C0SEEE# = #DEEEE# ==> Highlighted
#C1SEEE# stores 2st event day: Monday. As #C1SEEE# != #DEEEE# ==> Normal
#C2SEEE# stores 3st event day: Saturday. As #C2SEEE# = #DEEEE# ==> Highlighted
(!= stands for not equal)
If you use other date values:
#DyD# stores 201495 (year 2014, 95th day of the year)
#C0SyD# stores 201495
#C1SyD# stores 201497
#C2SyD# stores 2014102
As you can see, only the first event value is equal to today's value.

@cierzo Now I got exactly what you meant.
Apologies.
Thanks bro.
>>XPERIA Neo V<<

I just came across this post and was hoping someone could fill me in. If my first event occurs today, then all the events are highlighted. Please let me know what I did wrong.
For the rich text I did edit text manually:

Help... total newbie question...

All I need to know is in Zooper... can I display an image instead of the text displaying the day of the week... so for example... if I want to display a draw of a camel on Wednesday instead of the text 'Wednesday' or 'Wed' etc. can I do do this? I am sure it is possible... I just cannot figure out HOW Thanks for any help!

As you can tell from the below sample you can see that you should me able to write an expression that would allow you to not only change the date and time but to do exactly what you want. If you need any help please pm me and I'll help you out any way I can.

Hi! I saw this post of yours, I know it is late but I am trying to edit my calendar widget so that it displays the event in this format: *Month* *Day* *Day of the Week* *Time (if not an all day event)* *Event Title*
For example my first upcoming event is: Suits Season 5 Return @ January 27 at 6PM.
So the only way I could tweak it as closely to my preference displays as "Wed Jan 27 6:00PM Suits Season 5 Return". This is REALLY close to how I am trying to get it but the rich text is a bit complicated for me.
As of right now my current rich text is: #C0SEEE MMM d hh:mma# #C0TITLE#
I am trying to have it say, "Jan 27 - Wed - 6:00PM Suits Season 5 Return" AS well as for the time to disappear if it were an all day event instead. Do you think you can help me out with this? I tried to copy and paste in some of your code it wasn't really working for me.

how to bold only today's entry in series of calendar events???

I'm trying to create a widget that includes the next six upcoming calendar events, and I'd like it to bold those events for just today. I have the calendar entry part working fine, but the bold part eludes me. Conceptually I know how to do it -- make a conditional formatting check -- but every time I try to code it, it doesn't work. So would someone be so kind as to look at what I currently have and tell me specifically how to code it properly?
Here's what I have for the entries:
#C0SM/d EEE hh:mma# #C0TITLE#
#C1SM/d EEE hh:mma# #C1TITLE#
...and so on. So if today is August 15 and the first event is August 15, and the second event is August 20, the widget currently shows something like this:
8/15 Sat 12:00PM Post to XDA and ask for help
8/20 Thu 03:00PM Check XDA for feedback
How I'd LIKE it to look would be like this:
8/15 Sat 12:00PM Post to XDA and ask for help
8/20 Thu 03:00PM Check XDA for feedback
If someone could reply to this with the exact, proper coding to make that would be fantastic. Thanks!

You can use an advanced parameters...
Code:
$#C0SMdy#=#DMdy#?{b}#C0SM/d EEE hh:mma# #C0TITLE#{/b}:#C0SM/d EEE hh:mma# #C0TITLE#$
and repeat for each entry in your list. I'm not certain how to set the calendar item to any date though.
Note: replace { and } with [ and ] for {b} and {/b}. When I placed the correct tag in the coding, it showed as bold here.
