Jello.Dashboard 1.3

And here comes the new version!

There are many changes and I’m expecting your feedback. I started writing the documentation but this could take a while (sorry about that).

The download link has been changed, so there will always be the old one if you prefer it

Download here

please note:

1. If you are already using the previous version of the Dashboard, reset your settings right after installation.
2. The new version does not use only one .htm file. You have to extract main.js and style.css in the same folder with the jelloGTD.htm to work!

There is a known issue for Outlook versions in different languages. I updated the code a little, so download it again and do the following:

• Open any contact in your Outlook and go to page All Fields. Select Frequently-used fields and look down until you find the Category field. Take a note of its name.
• Edit the file main.js in a text editor (e.g Notepad) and go to line 4 and edit it to include the name of your local language for Categories (e.g. var languageCategory=”Categories”;)
• Save your changes and reload Jello.Dashboard

update 25/10/2006

I posted a new zip file containing the documentation and some minor bug fixes (plus some requests).

As for the huge language bug, I tried to create a function that auto-fills the variable names from Outlook. In some cases it may not work because I wasn’t able to test it myself. In that case, I’ve included 3 variables at the top of the code into the main.js:

var languageCategory=””; //categories in english
var flagCategory=””;  // flagstatus in english

var statusCategory=””;  //status in english
If you fill them in with the property names of your language it should work! If you don’t know the names of these properties go into your outlook and open up a field chooser to find them.
