[TUT] How to open a manila tab with shortcut

[sushilange]

Hi,

you can open a tab with this:

\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage home.page

Instead of "home.page" you can use:


messaging.page
weather.page
people.page
email.page
album.page
music.page
internet.page
settings.page
programs.page
You can also use the shortcut for:

Manila softkeys:

31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.

Example:

HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "E-Mail"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage email.page"

Thanx for your tutorial,

did you find the name for call log?
I want to map it to Homescreen Call Log, since the built in one looks pretty ugly.

[sushilange]

try:

calllog.page

or

callhistory.page

[Ximoon]

Which means... Anybody could create a today plugin, replacing the bottom scroll bar bar something else but keeping the same pages ?

[slow23]

try:

calllog.page

or

callhistory.page

OK, I tried.

It's callhistory.page.

Hi,

This is almost what I was looking for.
I would like to have a similar solution to add a shortcut to a subpage of Manila tab.
Something like
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage settings.page.sound"

Well, the above does not work.
I would like to add a shortcut on home screen to the "sound" subpage in the Settings tab, so I can quickly switch profiles: normal, silent, vibrate.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks.

[sushilange]

btw: I'm sorry! I figured it out a few weeks ago, but forgot to tell you this :D

No, submenus can't opened with "switchtopage", but maybe someone figure out another argument for manila.exe :-)

"switchtosubpage" or something like that doesn't exist.

@sushilange

Thanx for all your great work! without you guys we would be lost...

I have a little question about pages in manila...
I was thinking that the 'Action screen' in the HTC Raphael might be somewhere in the manila files.. cus the icons are there..??

Just a wild thought :D
You haven't accidently stumbled upon this?? :rolleyes:

[Elvelynn]

Oh, this would be very, very cool ;)

[MasK]

This may be perfect for remapping TF3D homescreen softkeys.
How about creating standalone shortcuts? It doesn't work. Anyone tried?

[MasK]

anyone?.............

I have a dutch ROM (1.93) and for me this doesn't do anything.
If I do this:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "Music"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage music.page"

And then click on that button, it doesn't do anything.

Anyone knows maybe for ROMS in other languages than english that the command might be different ?

Or to change the name and functionality of a given tab?

I tried several Manila ROMS (NATF v3 and v4, Hyperdragon III) but couldn't get used to not being able to customize the screens as I like (say like using SPB Shell and customizing the contents of any given tab).

Further, I have several apps that use a Today plugin (eg Newsbreak, PocketWeather), and I'd like to find a way to incorporate these into the Home page, or to create a Today Plugins tab, or just create a separate tab for each.

The weather tab, for example, is not practical for me, as I live in one city, work in another city, and constantly follow the weather in cities where I (or my wife) are about to travel. So having a single city weather page is of no use to me, and this is why I need to have the PocketWeather tab available.

I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thank you.

Any way to make a shortcut to a tab that will also bring up that tab on the screen? I made a shortcut to the Programs tab that I assigned to a button, but if I press the button while not in Manila it goes to the Programs tab in the background, without actually showing the tab.

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I just wrote a 2-line mortscript:

Run( "\windows\manila.exe", "--switchtopage programs.page")
show("Start")

I searched for possibilites how and what to use, but wasn't able to find anything.

Would appriciate your help,

[rogerkong]

I have exactly this problem: --switchtopage switches to the right tab but does not show the tab on the screen until I actually hit the tab icon, even with this Mortscript. When I run the script from Total Commander, as opposed to from the softkey to which I have assigned it, then I briefly see the tab page, and then it goes blank. Any ideas?

[theazz]

anyone know how to get a softkey to trigger the profiles popup that you get from the settings tab? cheers

[mtstmp]

Thank you for this! Was looking for three days!

Hi - I am just wondering, if it is possible to assign a button to start manila's music player and start playing?

So not open the tab, but only start to play the music.

EDIT: My plan is to create a nueCPL-ClockSpeed loader

I would like exactly the same thing but for different reasons. I am using G-Profile and want to create a profile so that when I put my D2 into my FM transmitter car cradle, it automatically starts playing music.... :D

[ytsejam_]

does anybody know the link or switchtopage command line for the HT manila start menu?

[Pretenderr]

can someone please tell me the shortcut to the twitter tap (aka Peep)?

[rorytmeadows]

I would love to know the page shortcut for the ALL Programs page!

allprograms.page or all.programs.page doesn't work

EDIT: I figured it out by going into a cab designed to make 4 columns of icons on that page

--switchtopage programs\programlist.page

Great work!

I have assigned a hard key (double tapping the windows key using AE Button Plus) to the above... and it works!

But When I actually try to click one of the programs on the All Programs list, it just jumps back to the Today screen.

EDIT: The above programlist.page doesn't work... it takes you to the "Add Program" list, not "All Programs" list...

\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage weather.page

This isn't working for me. I get the following message:

"Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename."

I have verified that manila.exe does infact exist in the windows folder.

I created the shortcut using a text editor tool and saved it to a folder on my storage card as weather.lnk

I am trying to open the shortcut using a button created in iPhoneToday pointing to the reference weather.lnk file as the executable.

Don't know if it matters, but I have a US Cellular HTC Touch Pro (1).

Thanks in advance; I'd really like to open the HTC Weather tab without leaving iPhoneToday.
