A plasmoid that displays photo of the day from various websites.
Last changelog:

10 years ago

Version 2.1.1
- Fixed earthshots engine.
- German translation updated ( thanks to Daniel Schemala )
Version 2.1
- Slide show
- www.bonjourmadame.fr provider by Yann Nave(yannux)
- French translation by Yann Nave(yannux)
- German translation by Daniel Schemala

Version 2.0
- Too many changes :) Requires KDE 4.4

Version 1.2
- Added Wikipedia data engine. Thanks to t3ddy. Only Latin languages are supported due to problems with nonlatin characters in KUrl :(
- Parsing of National Geographic page is modified to match new design of the web page
- Added possibility for translations.

Version 1.1
- Added smooth transition between photos. They smoothly fade in and fade out and adjust their sizes.
- Added info dialog for data engines
- Added two new data engines: Steve`s digicams and Astronomy Picture of the day

Version 1.0 beta
- Full rework of applet painting
- Now applet uses data engines to receive photos. Applet - data engine communication is through standart Plasma API function, so I think it is possible a data engine to be written in any supported by Plasma language. (If someone is interested, please send me a e-mail or write a comment)
- Error messages are drawn as part of image and disappear in 10 seconds.
- Customizable check for new photo interval.

Version 0.6
- Add smooth transition between photos

Lot of code has been rewritten so please let me know if you detect regressions or bugs.

Version 0.5.2
-Fix all(I hope) compilation problems with KDE 4.2

Version 0.5.1
-Fix compilation on KDE 4.2

Version 0.5
- Added fully configurable photo`s frame, shadow and rounded corners (thanks to Frame plasmoid team)

It looks like either Bonjour Madame or Tumbler itself changed how the pages are coded and now rather than getting the day's BM image it's showing a Facebook icon. I'm trying to track down the proper url for the daily image and if I can come up with a solution I'll see if I can generate the needed change.

I've made a little patch for BonjourMadame provider.
Copy/pastle into a BonjourMadame.patch on the potd dir, and use patch < BonjourMadame.patch
It's possible that it will ask you the file to patch, just enter "providers/BonjourMadame.cpp"
and run make / make install on the build directory.

I had to to a rebuild since I had dumped the build folder and when I redid the steps I noticed something in the terminal when I try to apply the patch. Here's the entire output in the terminal:

$ patch < BonjourMadame.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

Did you use a fresh copy of potd archive ?
I know that my patch file is not clean, but I'm not remembering how to make proprely a patch file.

I will search the correct method to do that.

It wasn't a fresh extraction of the tarball but the only change to it was to disable the Wikimedia Commons info since that engine's been broken for quite a while. (See above comments about it.)

I've just tested this and it worked for me :
- download and untar the archive
- download the patch : http://skool.blasters.fr/BonjourMadame.patch
- goto the v2.1.1 directory
- apply patch with "patch -p1 < /path/to/BonjourMadame.patch"
- apply the Readme.txt procedure to compile and install

Maybe in your case, KDE use the old version of the build. Maybe try a "make uninstall" for removing the old version.

Never mind. An idiot unplugged my laptop and when I finally got back on I am able to see the BM image. Thankee!

There actually wasn't an older build directory to use. I needed to recreate it to try applying the patch. But it still didn't work, plus I forgot to remove the Wikimedia engine as it's still dead.

I applied the patch then went through the install steps again in the Readme.txt but I still get the Facebook icon instead of the BM image.

there is a Picture of the Day DataEngine in kdeplasma-addons. it would be great to see your PotD engines added to it, and then your widget could also use that DataEngine. we could move the DataEngine into kde-workspace so it would be available on all Plasma Desktop/Netbook/Tablet systems.

if you're interested in collaborating along these lines, email me! :) aseigo at kde.org

I recently built this from the source code to use on LMDE with KDE bolted onto the top, and I've noticed that whenever the plasmoid tries to display the pic from Wikimedia Commons it keeps the plasmoid from changing off the Bonjour Madame picture. Is there an easy way to fix this or disable using the Wikimidia Commons pictures? My laptop is often in an area where I really don't want the BM image showing up for so long.

Hello,

you can remove any of image providers by editing providers/CMakeList.txt There is a section for every provider. Just remove/comment it and rebuild.

Cool, I'll do that. Although I'd rather see it fixed because WikiMedia has some nice daily images.

Report

On second thought never mind the fix request. It seems WikiMedia's site isn't updating for each new day so unless they fix their side this side probably can't be fixed too easily.

None of the photos seem to scale smoothly--they all look horribly jagged. Comparing it to the Flickr photo widget, the difference is harsh.

I don't know how Qt works, but I wonder if there's a bug in this code in potd.cpp:

// Respect the smooth-scaling setting
p->setRenderHint(QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform, m_smoothScaling);
// draw our pixmap into the computed rectangle
Qt::TransformationMode trMode = m_smoothScaling ? Qt::SmoothTransformation : Qt::FastTransformation;

// get photo
QPixmap pm;
if ( false == m_bAnimating )
{
pm = m_pPhoto->scaled( drawingRect.size().toSize(), Qt::KeepAspectRatio, trMode );
}
else
{
QPixmap from = m_pOldPhoto->scaled( drawingRect.size().toSize(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio, Qt::FastTransformation );
QPixmap to = m_pPhoto->scaled( drawingRect.size().toSize(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio, Qt::FastTransformation );

pm = Plasma::PaintUtils::transition( from, to, m_transtionOpacity );
}

p->drawPixmap(drawingRect.toRect(), pm);
p->restore();

p->setRenderHint(QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform, true);
