    Days Till Reminder Script Discussion

    Post comments/questions about Days Till Reminder Script Here

    NOTE: The daylight savings portion is setup to the new rules starting next year (2007). As a result, the daylight savings reminder will be in November this year (2006), not at the correct date.

    Run error

    Hi Steve,
    I get the following message, Running script,script or compile error in file: Days_Till_Reminder_Ver3.13.txt13:Type mismatch:'DaysTo' in line 246 More info:type mismatch: 'DaysTo'

    What did I miss?

      I am going to guess that there is a value in your .ini that the script doesn't think is a date. Check those out and make sure. If not, if you could send my your .ini I will take a look to see if I can duplicate the problem. NOTE: I am leaving for vacation for a few weeks so if I get it soon I can take a look, otherwise, it will have to wait till I get back.

        I just installed your script and got the same errors. I have found the bugs in the script and corrected them. - I am no scripting expert but think i got it right. It now works on my system anyway.

        Attached are the modified files.

        I am however getting a weird reminder as reminder 2.

        Right now it shows:
        reminder 1 - 18 days till christmas
        reminder 2 - 23 days til 107th

        Any ideas?

        Thanks

          Try these versions.

          What fixes did you make?

          NOTE: I changed the device codes.

            The biggest issue was the ini file called the Virtual devices something different from the txt file. e.g in the ini file the house code was called remindercode but in the txt file it was called housecode.


            Also i moved the dim unitcode higher up in the script as it was being defined after it was being used (that was the cause of the original error at line 246)

            I will give your new files a try.

            Thanks

              Ok,


              i tried your new files and don;t get any errors.

              However Reminder 2 is still weird - it says that there are currently -

              23 days till Memorial Day 107th

              I actually have memorial day set to "0" in the ini file

              Any ideas what this may be?

              Thanks

                I don't know what is going on, I can't get it to do it here. I will look some more tomorrow.

                    Try this one. I am at work so I can't test it right now, just going off a hunch.

                      Got it up and running with 2 problems.

                      1. I have to leave Mothers day Fathers Day etc all set to 1 in the ini, if I set them to 0 I get rubbish.

                      2. I have 4 dates set up as follows
                      Code:
                      EventDate(0)=01/01
                      EventDate(1)=02/14
                      EventDate(2)=10/31
                      EventDate(3)=12/25
                      and the corisponding titles, I also have NumberOfReminders set to 4, but it only updates the first two virtual devices with Christmas and New Year. The other two devices show unknown!

                      Anyone shed some light in this?

                        I will try that tonight MeSteve (i am at work too )

                        Gogs, that maybe what is causing my problem as i had put a zero for Labor day and Memorial Day.

                          Getting the following error
                          Running script, script run or compile error in file: Days_Till_Reminder_Ver.txt1002:Syntax error in line 136 More info: Syntax error


                          Had a look at the script but cannot see what the error is in that line.

                            Gogs,

                            You were getting the error because the variable was blank/empty. It took me a minute to remember the code and see the problem.

                            This is something that I never implemented

                            Try the new version I posted and let me know. Its in the Scripts Library.

                            P.S. Neil, disregard the version posted a couple of post earlier.
