Beta Test: User Manual

Install:

Tab Files:

Anything from the windows dir, should go in windows etc. You then need your Tab Control file updating as usual (you can use moonar's cab to do it if don't have anything too unusual in your sense install).

FacebookUtil Files:

They can go in their own dir (hopefully anywhere...but suggest your device "Program Files\FacebookUtil" to start with.

Then to get the default settings:

Import appFacebook.reg

The rest are for info only:

FacebookTabManilaFileNames.txt

LanguageFile-En-Gb(35452D58_manila).xml

LanguageFile-It-It(0074C4D4_manila).xml

Copy of ApiLang.xml

Running for the 1st time:

If you've put the FacebookUtil.exe on the device "Program Files\FacebookUtil" and imported the registry settings, the "Settings" menu option should link correctly. If not, then run "FacebookUtil.exe" directly and "Update" the file path (should be detected automatically as not matching). Then Apply.

Language Translations:

Also ensure you have the language selected to "En-Uk" unless you have your own updated lang file - or use the En-Us attached.

Note: Some menu items in sense will not be in your old manila lang files, and since I've only created a new UK one, they won't be translated either unless your device is En-Uk (unlikely) - use the En-Us attached if your region setting is En-us.

Update Status Authorisation:

The utility uses a separate Authorisation to post updates. You will need to Authorise the HTC FbTab app to post messages etc within settings "Facebook Api Settings" before you can do so.

Initially I had a nag screen which popped up when you entered settings/update status if no authorisation was detected, but I didn't want to force/bug people to use it. I suppose I could still have it, but enable an option to disable the nag instead, what do you think?

Knew I'd forget something!

Updated/Fixed Files here:

- I've posted a en-us copy (non-translated!). You'll need to rename without .txt and replace the file in \windows\ and reset your sense.

Sense will only use your devices language settings not the one set in the "FacebookUtil.exe" settings page, so you have to have the translated file for the menu items.

- I've posted updated reg file (old one refers to Johncmolyneux's status update exe which isn't included in the release). It doesn't matter which method you use, mortscript, Johncmolyneux's exe or the FacebookUtil.exe, just set them in the Settings (the updated reg file removes the reference and it will use the FacebookUtil by default). I would be interested to hear if there is a performance difference between mortscript and the exe's.

Planned changes to beta:

Add setting for "Facebook.LeadTimeOfEventsEnable" to control Events Display (ADDED - needs testing that it does something)

Put No Authorisation nag back in (with option to disable - i.e. write a non blank value in reg key). (ADDED)

NOTE:NO_AUTH text not in lang file either! (ADDED - text put back in lang file)

Fix US lang issue for sense items (FIXED)

Save "Advanced" setting (ADDED)

[*] Facebook Authorisation Page - find out how to fit page to WebBrowser object...(anyone know this?) - authorisation not working everytime Issues with .net and WM version specific.

Exception on "Back" key from within Authorisation (FIXED)

About box - make sure SenseSDK doesn't get dropped off bottom (FIXED - but needs test on VGA)

Improved language selection handling (for app). (ADDED)

I'll update the instructions in this post as we go.

Added link on 1st post of this thread to this post to stop it getting lost!
