First run

After installing CurlyTx and restarting Enigma2, open the main menu. The first entry will be "CurlyTx" - activate it.

You will see the main window with the message "Go and add a page in the settings". Do just that end press the red button to access the settings window.

Now we'll add the first URL:

• Press the yellow button ("New"); the "page edit" window will show up
• Enter the page URL, e.g. http://ip.cweiske.de
• If you wish, enter a page title, e.g. "My IP"
• Set the text size if you want. 20 is a good default value.
• Press the green button ("OK"), and you are back on the settings window.
• The page you have just created is in the configuration list now.

If you made a mistake and want to change it, select the page with the up/down buttons and press "OK" - the page edit window will open.

Press the green button and the settings will be saved. You're back on the main window now and the URL you just configured will be loaded.

Note that with version 1.1, CurlyTx supports opening local files. Prepend them with file://, e.g. file:///tmp/test.txt.

Adding many pages

You can use the settings window to add new pages, but this gets tedious if you want to add many pages.

It's better to use the Atom feed import in this case. All you need is a text editor and a web server you can serve the feed page with.

Here is an example feed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 <title>URL list for CurlyTx</title>
 <author>
  <name>Christian Weiske</name>
  <email>cweiske@cweiske.de</email>
 </author>
 <link rel="self" href="http://home.cweiske.de/pagefeed.atom"/>
 <entry>
  <id>ip</id>
  <title>My IP</title>
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ip.cweiske.de/" />
 </entry>
 <entry>
  <id>temp</id>
  <title>House temperatures</title>
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://home/temperatures.txt" />
 </entry>
</feed>

Start CurlyTx, go to the settings and write the feed URL in the "Page feed URL" field. Then press "OK" and the feed's pages will be loaded into the settings window.

Local configuration file

CurlyTx looks for a local page feed file on the harddisk on every run, at /etc/enigma2/curlytx-pagefeed.xml. If this file exists, it gets loaded unconditionally and overwrites the current page configuration.

Disable settings

The page feed file may contain a tag that disables the settings button. By using it, you can prevent people from modifying the CurlyTx settings.

First, register the namespace:

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:c="http://ns.cweiske.de/curlytx">

Then, add the setting after the author or self link:

<c:enableSettings>0</c:enableSettings>

Here is the example feed with disabled settings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:c="http://ns.cweiske.de/curlytx">
 <title>URL list for CurlyTx</title>
 <author>
  <name>Christian Weiske</name>
  <email>cweiske@cweiske.de</email>
 </author>
 <link rel="self" href="http://home.cweiske.de/pagefeed.atom"/>
 <c:enableSettings>0</c:enableSettings>
 <entry>
  <id>ip</id>
  <title>My IP</title>
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ip.cweiske.de/" />
 </entry>
 <entry>
  <id>temp</id>
  <title>House temperatures</title>
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://home/temperatures.txt" />
 </entry>
</feed>

Translation

$ cd po
$ cp messages.po $lang_code.po
... edit $lang_code.po now
$ ./compile.sh

$ cd po
$ ./update.sh

src/locale/$lang_code/LC_MESSAGES/CurlyTx.mo

Building

First upgrade the version number in CONTROL/control.

Then simply run

./build.sh

Directory releases/ will contain the freshly baked .ipk file that can then be transferred to your dreambox, e.g. via scp:

$ scp releases/enigma2-plugin-extensions-curlytx_2.3_mipsel.ipk dreambox:
$ ssh dreambox
$ ipkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-curlytx_2.3_mipsel.ipk

You will need the ipkg-build script from

http://reichholf.net/files/dreambox/tools/ipkg-build
