Tomboy Reminder
Posted 2007-09-19
Tagged
This is the new home of the tomboy reminder plugin, originally created by Raphaël Slinckx (old home). The difference between this plugin, and the version Raphaël Slinckx has on his site, is that this version works with Tomboy 0.10 and later, which his doesn't. However, this plugin doesn't work with earlier versions, which his does.
This plugin looks for notes with content like Remind 4 march and will open the note containing this on the 4:th of March. There's more info about usage in the Readme file.
Requirements
- Tomboy 0.10 or later
Download
There's a binary and a source version.
Build/Install
If you downloaded the source version, installing it is normal automake stuff: ./configure; make; make install.
If you downloaded the binary, installation is just a matter of moving it into ~/.tomboy/addins/

Hi! Could you, please, let me know how did you installed it with Ubuntu 7.10? I've tried to make it work, but still no success. I've put the .dll at any location related to tomboy plugin, but still doesn't work. I think this is one of the best plugins released for tomboy and "was" very useful for me in previous versions. Now, with Ubuntu 7.10, tomboy is 0.8.0.
Trying to compile it, shows me:
No package 'libgnomeprint-2.2' found No package 'libgnomeprintui-2.2' found No package 'gdk-2.0' found No package 'gtk+-2.0' found No package 'atk' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBTOMBOY_CFLAGS and LIBTOMBOY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I feel very confused...
Thanks a lot beforehand for any comment...

Don't work with tomboy 0.10.0.
WARNING: The add-in 'Tomboy.Reminder,0.9.1' is trying to extend '/Tomboy/NoteAddins', but there isn't any compatible add-in defining this extension point

It works fine in Ubuntu 7.10, but in Ubuntu 8.04 (Tomboy 0.10.1), When I type !2008/04/22 a 08:20 in a note, it does not pop out the reminder.
Do I type the wrong format? or is this plugin not compatible with Tomboy 0.10.1?
Thanks for help!

Excellent - Tomboy worked well before - now with remind my work/computing days got a whole lot easier - great work.
Suse 10.3 Tomboy 0.10.0 Remind 0.9.1
Thank you for the help above.

Hi
I modified the code to support the geman date fromat (dd.mm.yyyy), the week/month names and the word for next ("nächsten"). I just modified the regex strings at the top of MagicDate.cs.
The complete source package can be found at http://www.prangereichan.de/tomboy-reminder-0.9.1-plus_ger.tar.gz
Would be nice if you'd add the modification in future versions.
Best regards Michael

That looks awesome - I'll have a look, thanks!

By Michael
Thanks a lot. I keep testing the plugin. One thing that doesn't work are dates like dd.mm.yy. Maybe you can fix that. I'm not used to those C# regex.

Makes Tomboy useful - not much value in notes without reminder capability! Built on 64 bit ubuntu as binary is 32 bit - worked fine after got package mono-gmcs (mono compiler). Many thanks!

Any plans to include repeating events? I have a few tasks I have to do every day and it seems this won't handle that.

Are you going to write this to work for ubuntu 8.04/8.10? It is so cool to have reminders (shouldn't that be included), but this plugin no longer works on ubuntu

Great plugin, installed without any problems on Ubuntu 8.10 with Tomboy 0.12. I am seeing one problem, though. In a bulleted list, when I place a ! and then a date next to any item, the previous bulleted item gets highlighted rather than the one with the date. Other than that, it is working perfectly.

Can you please update the plugin to work with tomboy 1.0.0 in ubuntu 9.10?
Posted 2009-11-02 at 13:11
By ruperts
thanx for the tool. ditto the request by pavlos for the tool to work with 1.00 in ubuntu 9.10

great tool, just installed it. Agree that Reminder 1.0 doesn't work with Ubuntu 9.10.

I noticed that, by disabling and then enabling the plugin in the preferences window, it works correctly until tomboy restarts.

By boosis
On ubuntu 9.10 you need to place the plugin in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins

I placed tomboy-reminder.dll into /usr/lib/tomboy/addins but it still doesn't work. I've also changed the permission of such a .dll to the ones equal to the others .dll but it doesn't appear into the "Preference" -> "Addins" list.
I've also created a ~/.tomboy folder but nothing changed.
Notice, I've been Quitting Tomboy and restarting it each time I made some change, but it still doesn't work.

Adding it into /usr/lib/tomboy/addins does not work on my Ubuntu 9.10

By brownicha
I'm agree with Bleish. If you disable and then enabled the plugin, it works. You have to do it everytime you start Tomboy. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and Tomboy 1.0. The plugin tomboy-reminder.dll is placed in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins

Reminder is great.
Easy install, and it works.
Easy linking of web pages other notes (copy and paste note title line into your note).
I love it

I'm also unable to see Reminder in the Tomboy preferences after putting the .dll in the /usr/lib/tomboy/addins folder. Also weird: ls of the directory shows the dll, but a "locate" lists the other dlls but NOT reminder. Permissions, etc are set the same as the other dlls. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Forgot to add that I'm using Ubuntu Karmic and Tomboy 1.0.0

Confirmed! Tomboy-reminder (binary) doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64) after I enabled the addin and even if I logout and login again.

It's too bad that module doesn't work. I think it's a great idea and a very useful addin for Tomboy that should be included into the core. I use Ubuntu 9.10, Tomboy 1.0.0 and I could see and enable the addin, but no matter what I try, the module doesn't seem to trigger what it suppose to do.
Maybe it's just another abandoned great project. Too bad!

I've not really tried it yet but, I was wondering if there's a way (and if there isn't if it could be added) to have a note popup when the program is started. With Sticky Notes I had a todo list in Ubuntu that would of course popup at login and in windows I have a text document that still starts up with when I login. I'm trying to replace my 3 different note taking methods with 1 or 2 (I still use OneNote for a few things and I'm working on making it work in Ubuntu via VM.)

@miyagi: I use the same config and it works great for me. Try to use this syntax:
@!15 june at 10h

OK, gys i got this working in Ubuntu 10.4;
You need to build the package from the source version! building requires two things, the mono compiler and gtk-sharp2 so first of all sudo apt-get install mono-devel gtk-sharp2
then you need to edit the /usr/lib/pkconfig/tombox-addins.pc file by adding a line Requires: gtk-sharp-2.0 after that just ./configure make (as root) make install from inside your tomboy-reminder-xyz directory. then copy the tomboy-reminder.dll located in the src folder into /home/yourHome/.tomboy/addins and restart tomboy after that you will see the plugin in the preferences/addins dialog, enable it there. you can use several formats to tell the reminder when to pop up a note, I prefer this format: !18 june @ 17:00 if the line turns yellow you know you did it right. voilá! (for further instructions on usage see http://flukkost.nu/tomboy-reminder-README )

@firebug Thanks a lot, but the proper file path is /usr/lib/pkgconfig/tombox-addins.pc

I would like reminders of weekly and monthly events... bills to pay... jobs to do...etc. How do I get Reminder to do this?

The Correct dir for tomboy addin (*.dll) file is ~/.config/tomboy/addins
