Only show appointments when one is approaching?

[Guest elvie]

Hi,

Have been playing round with the supplied home screens [full.home.xml] and noticed that both 'missed calls' AND 'allday events' only show up when their value is not false:

<plugin clsid="{2FFD93B3-0FF0-4228-A6D6-D2DF177D7D92}" name="alldayevent" height="20">


     <background>


          <format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/>


     </background>


     <format state="noevent" visible="false"/>


           <label h="16">


                 <text><subject/></text>


           </label>


</plugin>

Is it possible to do the same for appointments?

I'm looking for a simple screen with only the carrier/time as the default, with allday events/appointments/missed calls showing if they are actually happening.

Thanks in advance

Never heard of anyone being able to do that - if there is no appt. set within the time scale you just get the 'no upcoming appointments' displayed.

but surely if it's possible with 'allday events' and 'missed calls' then it must be possible with appointments?

Adding something like:

<format state="noappointment" visible="false"/>

??

Don't know anything about XML, but is it possible to use a 'IF' statement [like in PHP]?

Why not do as anyone else would and give it a try and see if it works? :)

(It doesn't BTW. You're right, other plug-ins do support hiding if false but this one doesn't.)

The only way to do it is for someone to make another plug-in - which is doubtful!
