I've been using it since 2006, maybe even before. I was hoping there was a newer version by now. I'd like to see configurable beginning of the week (my week begins on Sun, not Mon). And it should have an About dialog so we can see what version we have. I checked in the files and I don't see a revision. My tarball is dated 2006, so I guess I have .04.

Thanks for your work but I can't enjoy it :( I've installed version 0.4 with superkaramba 4.3.5.4 on Kubuntu Dapper Drake and KDE 3.5.4

The two fonds are also installed but the Kalendar stayes still empty, that means only backround, no date.I can't change the language ore other settings neither.So I startet the kalendar.theme with the terminal

I made the following modifications to kalendar v0.4 in order to get it to work properly with SuperKaramba v0.37 and Python v2.4:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In kalendar.py

line 30:
change from
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", "0")
to
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", 0)

line 77:
change from
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", "0")
to
karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", 0)

Note:
The "0" is changed to just 0
There are a total of two instances where the changes must be made.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In ckalendar.py

line 16:
change from
self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (0,0,0,0,0,0,i,0,0))[0:2]
to
self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (1900,1,1,0,0,0,i,1,0))[0:2]

line 30:
change from
self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (0,0,0,0,0,0,i,0,0))[0:2]
to
self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (1900,1,1,0,0,0,i,1,0))[0:2]

Note:
The values in the second argument enclosed by the () need to be updated in order for the line to work.
I am unsure if this is due to changes between older versions of python and python v2.4
There are also two instances where this line needs to be updated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully this will help all to successfully run this wonderful calendar theme.
My thanks to baraquda for writing this app.

Sorry for the 4 responses above... :P I have Superkaramba 0.36 (and can't install 0.37) and Kalendar still doesn't work with 0.36 on my computer... Can help please?

Seve - I need more information than just "it still doesn't work" in order to help you.
I need to know what you have tried (including all installation steps), what the results were, any error messages, etc.
Please post a better description of your problem, including versions of all programs involved (i.e. linux distro and version, python version, superkaramba version, and liquid kalendar version), error messages (run superkaramba from the command line with no backgrounding - don't put a & at the end - make sure you save all error messages). Make sure you follow all installation steps - there is a step that tells you how to install the required font (it might be able to be substituted by another font, but I haven't tested that).
Thanks,
-Charley

If the calendar comes up blank when you run it, this may help you: it looks like there was a change to the strftime(...) function in a recent update to python, because that seems to be the line causing problems. I was able to get it working by changing this segment:
    self.dayArray = ["", "", "", "", "", "", ""]
    while i <= 6:
        self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (0,0,0,0,0,0,i,0,0))[0:2]
    i = i + 1
to this:
    self.dayArray = ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"]
You can probably use whatever day names are appropriate for your system. BTW, this segment occurs twice, and I believe it's in the ckalendar.py file.
This will mess up the ability to handle multiple locales, but since you can put in whatever day names you want it shouldn't matter.

When I start kalendar only the background picture is shown. The fonts are installed. How does the kalendar.theme call the py-file? It is not mentioned in the kalendar.theme

Keeper

yes, I have this bug too =(
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/keeper/Documents/Text/karamba/kalendar/kalendar.py", line 22, in ?
calendar = ckalendar.cKalendar()
File "/home/keeper/Documents/Text/karamba/kalendar/ckalendar.py", line 16, in __init__
self.dayArray[i] = strftime("%a", (0,0,0,0,0,0,i,0,0))[0:2]
ValueError: month out of range
------------------------------------------------------
What does ImportError mean?

It means that I couldn't load a python add-on for kalendar.theme
If this is a regular theme and doesn't use python
extensions, then nothing is wrong.

any chance to upgrade the script to SK 0.35?

rcbell
15 years ago

I had a few minutes today and looked into it. The fix is actually quite easy. Just change 2 lines in the kalendar.py file with your favorite editor. Fix as follows:

Change: karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", "0")
To this: karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", 0)

And change: karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", "0")
To this: karamba.setMenuConfigOption(widget, "ac_locale", 0)

All you're doing is changing the "0" at the end of each line to 0. Hope this helps.

Thanks rcbell, that fixed it! :)

Now, I wonder, is there something I can edit in the script to make the week start in Sunday instead of Monday?

Seems that it only can display a full month if the month spans no more than 5 weeks Aug 2004 spans 6 (it starts on a Sunday ...) and the 6th row wont display. Bummer.

This theme doesn't require Python 2.3. Get rid of "import datetime", which goes unused, and the theme operates correctly. Redhat 7.3, 9, FC1 users should be happy to hear this.

And what should be done to make this theme "pl_PL" supported? I see only background picture no matter what country I choose.
