Hehe... I already got a repo of old versions.... for example...http://home.iprimus.com.au/michaelamadi ... -0.5-1.pettrio wrote:Guys
don't laugh ok.. I think there's more to it than providing pwidgets for 4.2 users, or to be exact non-bling users, better to open it as independant project, Whodo's the one to decide for 4.2, but you Sigmund, you're the one to decide about pwidgets.., get my point?
Volunteers works for nothing...small or big the contribution is...if credit given then you should receive..if not? so what?
I'm going back to 4.1.2 ...and install pwidgets in there...at least it's a done deal (and only Barry alone is entitled of credits)...

Enough indeed! Please accept my apology for the treatment you received in trying to be helpful, and read my directive in the RC2 Bugs & Fixes thread about how I expect things to proceed from this point forward.trio wrote:I've mistakenly lured to answer about pwidgets in 4.2 rc2 thread...No..no more...enough of that...

Here is quick reference. Could may be put into the howto?
Creating a widget
A simple widget
Take a look at /root/.pwidgets/configs/Puppylinux. Change the text at bottom of the file. Save new file with another name (keep it in /root/.pwidgets/configs/). Restart Pwidgets, and your new widget is available.
A more complex widget
1.) ENGINE
Pwidgets supports 4 widget engines. When you want to create a new widget, the first point is to define which engine to use.
- conky (Most common)
- xli (Slideshow)
- xwinwrap (Tv)
- xonclock (Analog-clock)
2.) CONFIG
A widget MUST have a config file in /root/.pwidgets/configs/ (See examples). The config filename will be the widgets name. Content of this directory shows up in 'Available widgets' list in the main gui.
3.) SCRIPTS
If external code needs to be run to fetch new info for the widget, call up the widgets script in /root/.pwidgets/scripts/. The script should have the same name as the config file. It is also possible to run a specified script before reading config file. 'Downspeed' is an example of this. The script file has the same name as the config file with a -pre ending (Downspeed-pre), and is placed in /root/.pwidgets/scripts/.
4.) THEME
Your new widget will follow the global theme settings. If you want to override this you can hardcode colors in config files. Though, the best solution is to make a unique theme for your widget. Themes are placed in /root/.pwidgets/themes/THEME/main. The main file works for all widgets. If a unique theme is specified, this one overrides the main theme. The unique theme should have the same name as the config file (widget name).
5.) PLUGIN
If the new widget requires user configuration to works properly, a plugin may do the job. A plugin is a small gui that edits the widget config file. Plugins are stored in /root/.pwidgets/plugins/, and has the same name as the config file. It will show up automatically when user adds your widget from 'Available widgets' to 'Widget list'. After user input, let the plugin execute:
. /usr/local/pwidgets/locals/english
. /usr/local/pwidgets/func -apply
fixwidgets
This builds the chosen widget tree including the changed info from this plugin.
I did a fraction more than just "ask", Rob. I don't know if it will do any good, but I couldn't let it roll through any longer the way it was going. I want you, Zigbert, trio and 01micko to know that, whatever else is said by the vocal minority around here, I appreciate all the effort you guys have put into the 4.2 project and it WILL be reflected in the product I release.tasmod wrote:... if you have asked for decorum on rc2 thread, then I applaud you.

Sometimes members of the Puppy forum community forget that there are way more users of Puppy than the ones who post here regularly. One such user has only posted 7 times since 2005, and another was recently prompted to make only his second post since he started using Puppy 2.xx some time back. There are many more that have never posted and one of those has recently written the best review of Puppy's capabilities I have yet seen. We really are only the very tip of the iceberg here (analogy especially for Sigmund ).
That should give you guys heart; to know that your hard work will NOT go unrecognised and nor will the harmony and support you share in the Pwidgets team. Thank you all for that.
Yes, I remember. I learned serious programming in VAXBasic using a VT100 terminal and a maximum of 32k of space for both compiler and program code. We considered ourselves "spoiled" at having so much room to work when the entire main frame hard drive was only 5Mb.tasmod wrote:In the 'old' days when ram was precious you were taught to do things miserly.
