Desktop Data [support thread]

Sweet stuff

Steven300:

You can hover your mouse over each icon and it should tell you what part of the site they are on.

Dang doesn't work on Vista. Beginning to wish I hadn't upgraded.

Steven300:

Hi, try this version:
http://www.pilonidalproducts.com/Desktop_Data_2.2.zip

Yup that did the trick thanks.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelo!

Great add-on! Now I don't have to login all the time to check my store status. Is perfect. Today I already had a surprize: a new costumer! It worked really nice, just install it following the step by step instructions and it runs!!!

Thank you!
Sometimes I am thinking that I would like to know how to do this kind of staff... but I am in the jungle... so, maybe I came with some ideas... at least :D

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD WORK!

Great add on indeed! :thumbsup:

I am not using it on the desktop though, I am using it on my mobile phone, even no need to switch on the PC now :cool:

I've made some changes (for my own usage) to version 2.1

• Added language_id (to orders status query). Prevents duplicate order statuses when mupltiple languages are used.
• Added whois timer inactive setting: DESKTOP_DATA_WHOIS_TIMER_INACTIVE
• Added active statuses filter. If configured, only the active orders statuses will be shown
  (by default all are shown, edit DESKTOP_DATA_ACTIVE_ORDERS_STATUSES value to use the filter)
• Statuses with > 0 orders are highlighted now (strong)
• Added title attribute. This is needed to show the icon image titles in FF (in IE the alt tag is used if no title is found)

I have no plans to update this addon or something, but just in case anyone is interested I have attached my version of desktop_data.php (based on 2.1) to this post. Maybe you can add (some of it) to your version Steven300?

Thanks paulm, some nice improvements. I will be adding these to the next version :smile:

paulm:

to version 2.1

You weren't to know but v2.2 is the current version (it was unofficially released on the previous page and has just been approved in the downloads section). v2.2 has an inactive timer setting but all of your other features are new.

I may need to PM you at some point to check I have integrated all of your features correctly. Hope that's okay.

I never considered that possibility :D

This is a beta release of v2.3. It's essentially a mixture of v2.2, Paulm's suggestions, and a few other edits. This release is mostly about manipulation of the order statuses display. Main features:

• Highlights order data requiring attention
• Ability to set language ID if using multiple languages
• Ability to skip display of specific order statuses

The download links don't work. I wanted to see the suggestions for the Vista work around.

Does anyone have the files?

It's available for download in the "Free Software Add Ons" area. Look at the links in Steven300's signature.

I downloaded the most recent version I could find, however the links that Steven300 has posted in this thread and the ones in his sig line don't seem to be valid.

THX

Check the free contributions area on the main page.
It's in one of the categories. I'm out the door to work right now, let me know if you can't find it and I will search for it later tonight.

THat's where I got the version I am trying to work with (Desktop_Data_2.3). However earlier in the post there is a link that included Vista work around. \ This goes to what looks like an add page.

I have installed Ave's Active desk top however I can only see the store info box with the Ave's open, is there away to show it in just a small window? THX

Did you click the Hide button?

I had to refresh my desktop to show my added link rather then the link that was the default on the program. BTW Does this mod ignore the admins IP? It's not showing when I am on the front end, and since I am the only one going to my site during the construction phase........ it's hard to test the feature # of visitors, guess I need to ask some to hop by :)

Should I click the live site box or leave it be?

THX

nikki72:

BTW Does this mod ignore the admins IP?

No it doesn't ignore the admin. Remember that the refresh rate is set to 3 minutes by default, so it doesn't show live results. Once you do something on the front end, wait for up to 3 minutes and it should then display you as a visitor.

Sure, or another option can be to visit your site using a few different web browsers.

thanks for the help! it works great.

I suspect this is me being dim but I cannot get the workaround to work with Avi's/Vista and the links Steven has posted take me to a site with no mention of Desktop Data, just a nice looking girl and some unrelated menus. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong (Using Firefox)

Hi, the link you quoted was just a temporary link to the latest version of the mod. That link doesn't work anymore but you can find the latest version of the mod in the 'Free Software Add Ons' section of this site, in the 'Other Modules' category. I'm assuming though you already have the mod as you mentioned not being able to get the workaround to work with it. If that's right, could you say a bit more about how it is not working as you expect.

I'm having problems, hoping you can help. I'm getting the following warning. Did I do something wrong or am I missing something.
Warning: require(includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/exaltapp/public_html/desktop_data.php on line 11

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/exaltapp/public_html/desktop_data.php on line 11

Thanks in advance for your help

Do you have desktop_data.php in your root directory?
