Tips & Solutions
- Libraries: When using FW97, check that you have the correct FW97
libraries, not the older libraries which come with older versions of FW.
- Requesters: The latest incarnation of FWCalendar uses any of several
applications to identify the front-most public screen: FrontPubScreen, Publican,
or MagicPubName (see the Installation docs). If
none of these applications works for you, then specify the screen to use as the
value of the HostScreen variable.
- DoHide: When using PageStream as the host application, you are much safer using DoHide = 0 in your preferences file rather than DoHide = 1. Although this slows down the rendering, some versions of PageStream have troubles with getting information from hidden pages. Try hiding the page first, but if that doesn't work, leave it visible.
- Preference Files: Both FWCalendar and FWCAddEvent use the same preferences file for initializing variables, so you should not change the preferences file between using FWCalendar and FWCAddEvent. See notes on the variable editor for more details.
- Shifting Minicals: If the right edge of the calendar is not printing to paper, adjust the Margin.Right setting in the variables to a value larger than 0.5 (the default).
- Wrong Colors/Fonts: If things are looking funny on your calendar (the colors are wrong (specifically, if you see a text block way up in the upper left corner in tiny print), the wrong fonts are showing up, or the font sizes are wrong) check the FWCLog.txt file for indications about colors or fonts not being found.
- Room at the Top: To create a portrait-oriented calendar that only fills the bottom-half of the page, change the Orientation variable to 'Tall' and modify the Margin.Left, Margin.Top, Margin.Bottom,
and Margin.Right variables in the preferences file.
