Showing appointments....

[Guest elvie]

Hi there, wondering if anybody can give me a bit help.

I'm trying to do a very minimalist skin, and therefore, I only want appointments to show if there is coming up.

So instead of having 'no appointments' constantly displayed on my screen, there would be nothing unless there was actually a appointment on the given day.

Any way to do this?

Thanks in advance

I don't think the original plugin supports 'hide when no appointment' feature.. Wanted to do same, but noluck

Thanks for that, a pity...

but....

Not knowing anything about XML, would it be possible to include the plugin, and then use XML [or javascript?] to cancel the plugin if it's value is 'no appointment'.....

Java is actually not supported (properly at least) and the homescreen would not work that way... The only idea I have is that text changes color to "transparent" with something along the lines:

If PLUGIN_VALUE = "No appointments" then

PLUGIN_TEXTCOLOR="transparent"

Else

PLUGIN_TEXTCOLOR="default"

EndIf

But that is more of a joke, since I believe XML would not support any kind of this code logic... ;)

Elvie; there are only two plug-ins you can hide when they have no events; "Missed Calls" and "All-day Event".

Madu, your right; home.xml will not support that syntax ;)
