Thread: Gmail ,POP3 and Hotmail Notifier and Emailer for RR

Ok, all installed and beta testing it.

A couple things I noticed:

- I have not been able yet to actually get to the skin to see it. When I click on the "!GMAILNOTIFIER" indicator, RR debug log shows: IndClicked: !gmailnotifier, however it never goes to the gmail skin. I do have the files in: "C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Skins\DFX\Scripts\GmailNotifier" folder.

- I want to be able to run it with a Button, and not an indicator. Using "clickind;!GMAILNOTIFIER" does not work, as you used an "!" at the beginning of the plugin name. the "!" is not needed when creating an indicator inside of a plugin / script.

- The pop-up every time you start RR is a bit annoying telling you that the plugin is running

- You need to set the script in the tray to run only a single instance of the script. When I reload the skin, it creates a new instance of the script and icon in the tray. I have to right click and exit the extra running scripts. Put this line somewhere at the top of your script: _Singleton(@ScriptName) & include the miscau3 include file: #Include <misc.au3>

- Please remove the tray baloons for the plugin. Every minute I am hearing the "Pop" sound of a tray tooltip when the message count is updated. Is there a way to change the interval of when it checks to see if there is new email? every one minute seems a bit excessive. EDIT: Found it in the .ini file

- Files seem to be all over the place Can you put all of the files in the RideRunner\Plugins\GmailNotifier\ This way, as mentioned above, it will work with ANY skin, and not have to be installed multiple times. Then you can use $PluginsPath\GmailNotifier to reference the location.

Thanks again for all the work on this, it is something I have wanted for a long time!

EDIT: Ok, I found out why it was not loading when clicking the indicator. You put the .dll in the "skin" folder with the skins and images. It needs to be placed in the RR\plugins folder and registered. I was not even aware of the .dll, as I though you were doing everything with the AutoIt script

Ok, I am closer to get it working

I am not getting the entire email message though, just around 20 words or so of the beginning of the email. Are you using an RSS feed or something that only shows just a small portion of the beginning of the email or something?

I am not a great programmer, and i me also, i looked for a gmail notifier writen in autoit.

I have found it in the us autoit forum and adapted it for RR.
This script read only effectively only 20 words first.
I don't think that the script use a RSS feed to run . It read a html page.
I want to add two feature:
-RRvoice compatibility
-possibility to play the body's message !

Thanks for my logi and password

Solved.

Do you want always to use a button ?
If yes, just create a button with that:"SENDMSG;GmailNotifier;GMAILSETTINGS"

I think that is ok now. I did know this option.

I see what i can do for that. All my scripts are into my skin.
I see if i keep the two possibility.

Thanks to you.

I have began with you script GooglTraffic and now i understand better how RR , VB6 and autoit work

Try this new version without popup and the singleton added please!

Change your exectbl.ini file by:

Code:

/*************************************GMAIL NOTIFIER******************************
"GMAILNOTIFIER","Run;$pluginspath$GmailNotifier\pop_tray.exe"
/*****************************************************************************************

The old possibility stay possible:

Code:

/*************************************GMAIL NOTIFIER******************************
"GMAILNOTIFIER","Run;$skinpath$Scripts\GmailNotifier\pop_tray.exe"
/*****************************************************************************************

First post is updated !

Thanks for changing the pop-up balloon in the tray, that "pop" sound every minute was getting a little annoying here while testing hahah.

Can you also turn off the pop-up menu that appears every time RR starts? Having to press exit every time the skin starts, to then use the skin is kind of awkward.



Also, I am not positive on this, but I think I know why its only displaying a few words of an email. I think there are carriage returns in the text, and when copying that to a variable, it cuts it off at the first carriage return it comes across. Looking at my mail in a web browser, the first line of the email is all that is displayed in RR. You have have to do a search and replace for CR's to display the whole email.

Again, I am not 100% certain of this, but from what I can see that's what is happening.



Thanks again for all the work on this, starting to skin it all now to match DFX.

I see today what i can to do ?

If you like, i am happy

Try this new version without the first pop_up if messagebox=no into the pop.ini .

The first post is updated !

Little update.

-I have added a contact list.
-The first popup is on only if messagebox=yes in the settings.
-add Date and time into the gmaildetail.skin


You can always to use the osk possibility to enter the contact address .




Nota:
This new version use only the MessageBox.skin, also i can to delete :
-gmail_new.skin
-gmail_number.skin
