I’m veeery new to Facer and I’ve been prowling Google and obviously Facer Documentation to find info on:
“how to make the string of weekdays which highlight the “today” day”
I would be fully satisfied with a horizontal position - nothing fancy - only first letters of weekdays - eg. all grey and this particular day is in different color or underlined…
Can you please tell me if there is any code or should I do it some other way. So far my attempts were pathetic
Luckily you have a tag called #DOW#, which returns the current day of the week in numbered format from 0 to 6, Sunday to Saturday.
My way would be a separate text field for each day of the week.
Then I would duplicate that in another color (your highlight color) and make sure the colored ones are layered exactly on top.
Then for each colored one, check if the number is the same as today, and change the opacity:
Oh my - you are my savior I will attempt to do exactly that. And as far as cats… for some things my 2 cats together with my dog did at home, they should be skinned alive
Hehehehe - I secretly believe that King Julian is their leader - for all the mess they do And thanks for “decent” - learning Facer is sometimes very hard or tricky so in some cases I just give up.
If you want the current day of the week to stand out from the rest, then you need to enter less than 100 in the Opacity field or use @ThaMattie 's advice
…stupid question Lucky, do I need to add each day of the week with the formula in the text field, or do I just create 1 text element and drop the formula in the text field?
I do not know how you plan to place these elements. But the example above shows the previous day of the week with its formula, the current day of the week with its tag and the next day with its formula. All this in the Text field
