I am curious about this plug-in for the Locale app. I think it has a lot of potential but am failing to understand how to use it. If anyone has successfully configured this plugin to work for a situation I would like to hear about the details of the configuration. Thanks
Locale Variables Android
I just downloaded this yesterday.
Check out this site droidmunkey.com/localeVariables/" to see one example of how it is used.
Basically, you can assign one condition a variable and then use the variable to activate another action. The possibilities are endless. There was one instance where I created one condition that referred to another and back again which caused my phone to crash over and over but I beat it by quickly (upon phone startup) disabling Locale.
I feel that this only scratches the surface on the usage of this Locale Plug-In but with the lack of support on the web for the variables plug-in specifically, hopefully people will land here and leave some info. Let me know how you have used it.

Hi guys, I just took the plunge and put in an order for a Tilt today; unfortunately the shipping address got botched up so it didn't get shipped out yet. I'm coming from a PalmOS background (Treo 650, Kyocera 7135, several non-phones before...).
Does anybody have a suggestion for an app for tracking a couple users and sharing their location with each other?
I see gpsgate has this functionality, but it doesn't appear to have any mechanism for displaying other users. I'd like to pull up a map and see where another user is, and vice versa. I've compiled a list of what I've found and my thoughts (keeping in mind I haven't used them yet), but wanted to get some real user opinions.
GpsGate - Upload only, no way to see other users from the app?
Reperion - Website seems a little sketchy, but the functionality sounds about right. Not real time?
NavXS - Another sketchy website, but the software looks okay.
Mologogo - Java app only, might work though.
GPS Tuner - Nice looking software, but it doesn't have the functionality I'm looking for. It has a buddy function, but there is no "Google Maps" sort of mode. This looks great for outdoor navigation, though.
chtiGPS This looks to be a bit like GPS Tuner, and again doesn't really meet the requirements.
there is a prog called "WIMP" WhereIsMyPhone. You send a text message code to a tilt or Kaiser and it will quietly return a google link with their exact location. Mainly used to silently ping your lost phone and get it's location, but the buddy angle could be handled with it. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk
Mologogo seems to be your best bet, but I tried the WM version on the Kaiser and I got a nasty message error upon launch. (UPDATE - only the first time). Still it proceeded and find the GPS module OK. Problem is that it's not reading the first digits properly 48,8141 becomes ,08141 - probably a regional setting, I'll
I'm fiddling around with a provisioning xml for my UC setup.
I've gathered how to set up an e-mail account but I want to do some more stuff.
(More specifically I want to set region, my default windows live user/settings (or perhaps just my hotmail account) and user/adress info)
I've found bits and pieces of info here and there but it's not much to go by, can anyone lend a helping hand?
I'm also interested in knowing how to prep Coreplayer. Does anyone know how to automate the input of the serial? I can't find anything in the registry and I have no idea if it's possible to automate the input by scripting some sort of event..?
Yes this sounds interesting. I would definitely care to know how to set up my device so that I don't have to set everything up again and again and again after every hard reset. and again.
So I recently got very interested in Windows Phone 7 (mango) and I had been thinking about starting to create my own apps for a while. The result is the idea for an app that is as follows:
Name: Crumbs
Possible abbreviation: to send somebody a "crumb"
In short: An app that capable of: writing/creating, organising, sharing and following instructions, AKA crumbs.
What I want to achieve with this is a new option into social networking, but this time it's also very useful and not just fun to show off. What could these crumbs be? Well, I've thought of some categories already:
Routinely task:
like the stuff you do every morning, shouldn't forget, etc.
Work/study task:
some sort of study schedule, with certain points you should handle to complete the whole task.
Preparation/cooking task:
doesn't need any explanation.
Scavenger hunt/adventure:
wouldn't it be great if you can give a list of instructions to someone with some reward at the end?
Travelling:
similar to your adventure, but could contain various flight data or a couple of options (so you don't "finish" an item, but finish 1 item in a dillema.
Other: always have some other category..
User defined: if a user wants to make his/her own category.So these are the categories, but as you've already seen, each category has different types of commands/operations one has to perform to complete the whole task. So when writing a new one, you could filter the entry-options by the ones most important for that category and give the users a seperate option to add another operation than the ones listed by default. Some possible operations and their integration ideas are as stated below:
Action: very straightforward, do something and when executing the crumb you simply check the box when done. Maybe some option with a timer that alerts you that you should be done with the operation soon (for example: cooking).
Navigate: go to a specific location and then you check the operation. Possible GPS integration/maps?
Input: give certain input to go on. For example useful when creating an adventure (go there, look for the church and read what's on it) or something else that should need a password or any other input.
Alert: to alert yourself/the executor OR (and this is important) some other user that you've arrived at a certain operation in your crumb.
Yeah, you read it right, another user. Because one other important aspect of almost every app nowadays is SHARING. So ofcourse, there will have to be the option to share crumbs. People will be able to manage their crumbs on a phone ofcourse, but if there's a lot, wouldn't it be easy to have them stored online too? A place where you can rapidly type, organise and share your crumbs. So there should be a format to save them in (.crumb looks fantastic ). So, you simply send someone the crumb using a public link you create for your privately stored crumb. But what about something called instructors/friends? Wouldn't it be awesome if you can allow certain people to GIVE you crumbs straightaway, so you'll get alerted and know you have to do something (OK, "your mom" wouldn't be awesome, but useful nonetheless). To make things easier for this, the users will have to be able to manage these friends/instructors too and have their own cookie jar/cake box to receive their crumbs directly in (on the website and in the app). I sense some Facebook/social integration, don't you?
Then there's this weird habit of people: they've got calendars and tasks on them. Wouldn't it be great if the crumbs are linked to calendar and/or outlook-task items?
Sooo... This is my (already quite complex) idea. To conclude things once again: the outlook task system isn't capable of managing real tasks. You can give certain progress percentages, but that's just something that could be managed by this app, since it's much more in depth.
Problem is, I'm not that good at developing (yet)! So if any developer out there is willing to take this thing on with me (I just feel this could turn out great), please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming on and I'm a quick learner, so I hope to show a mockup of some sorts soon . I've already thought out some sort of menu structure/frame everything should be hung up in and that's what I'll be working on the time to come.
And keep in mind:
This idea is NOT for sharing by anyone but me right now. That it may be very clear that this idea is not for your own use!
Hey all,
I've owned Tasker for quite some time but I'm trying to get back into it lately. I like the idea of hitting a task widget button on my phone and it creating an automation sequence of sorts. Recently I synchronized Tasker, Google Assistant, Join, EventGhost, & IFTTT as I hear it's a start to PC automation.
Right now I'm struggling past this point, feel I'm behind, and a post like this could be a fast information grabber with insight.
Scenario: I would like the task to check and see if I'm logged in on my PC or not, if I'm not, it automatically fills my password in and logs me in. If I was already logged in, maybe bypass the login step unless running the login sequence wouldn't throw off the rest of the script if logged in already.. It would then execute a program, when the program is running 100% loaded, it executes some clicks inside of the software then it's done. My resolution stays the same always so if there is a x,y coordinate system of some sort like an autoIt script for the PC automation part, I believe that would work for me? Maybe something else besides an autoIt script??
I know EventGhost can apparently run as a service using software like Firedaemon. I'm running Windows 10, which apparently can help for the login part. I feel I'm so close to nailing out a logic, but I'm curious as to how some seasoned users might handle such a Tasker Task.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I'll admit, I'm not a Windows person and I'll always script before looking for a gui solution. So help me understand why you would look for ways to interact with the desktop in this manner. It just seems overly complex to me.
Why not just set up a Tasker task to ssh into the W10 machine and execute a script to accomplish your task?
+1 to ktmom, you could also try an arduino hid keyboard and try to remote control it to put in windows password. with some tinkering you could controll this with bluetooth via android
Hi guys,
To start things off I know there is a veribale search replace and FOR functions in tasker.
Im trying to create a task that stores all the body content of an email. The task will then pull the relevant information, to compose another email and send to a different email address each time (Which is not included in the body of the email).
I have successfully created the variables that capture the information from the email that I need, with veribale split.
However the problem is the task is quite lengthy, as I'm doing two veribale splits to get the information I need Into a variable. The information I'm pulling is not constant. Such as a time range and name of the person who booked the time slot.
What is the most efficient way to do this?
One thing that comes into mind, won't regex works better for that?
I think javascriptlet should di that fine, or you could use a plug in to give regex capability (eg: Auto tools regex)

Thanks I did have thoughts about regex, but I'm not sure if it works for what I want. However I have done a bit of regex for if statements, so I will look into auto tools.

I have had a look at Regex on autotools, I have succsesfully used it is some cases, however I was going to ask you, are there any good places where I could learn and debug regex?

Not that I know of.
I tend to learn by doing, so this site: https://regex101.com is enough for my companion so far.
