Hi, I'm very new to php-gtk, then apoligize if a ask for stupid questions...

Starting from this code:
http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/articles/display-a-2D-array-in-GtkTreeView---Part-1.php

I Wrote a little peace of code that display data from a database.

The listed data is part of a little program to manage my activities.

A sample table could be:

Code:

| / | Project/Activity | Time | | + | Project 1 | 0:00:00| | - | Activity 1 | 0:00:00| | - | Activity 2 | 0:00:00|

Now what I want to do is to substitute the "minus" sign with a gtkbutton that makes start the timer on the right, but don't know how to do it. I saw that it is possible to put a GtkCellRendererCombo in a tree view, but I didn't found something similar for buttons. Can you help me? thank you

Hi Giovanni,

Here's a sample code:

Is this what you have in mind?

Uhaaa... Are you a sort of superhero? :D

Thank you very much, it's what I was looking for.

Bye :)

Hi Giovanni,

I believe your project-activity should be in a treestore instead of a liststore.

But I decide to write Part 1 using liststore first as it is more straightforward.

I will write another sample code (Part 2) tomorrow using treestore...

Hi Giovanni,

Here's a sample code using Tree Store instead of List Store. I think this should be closer to what you have in mind.

Yes, this way is better.

I began looking at your code, 3 little notes:

1. Didn't understand, but on my pc your code make timer start from 1 hour.
2. For the example purpose the use of date function is ok, but if your attivity takes more than 24 hours you'll have a problem (form my purpose I will write a function that formats the timestamp in $alot_of_hours:minutes:seconds, where $alot_of_hours could be greater than 24).
3. The timer start also if you click on the blank image, I've introduced in your code (line 148)
// (It's the only way I see to know if the clicked image is a project and not an activity, please tell me if exists a better way :-)
if(count($path) > 1) {

}

Thank you again for your exaustive and clean answers, never found a site like this one, It should exist a site like this one for every language :-)

For note 1, I think is a Timezone related problem.

I've another question, there's a way to retrieve the model of the parent row starting from the clicked element?

My purpose is to update the grandtotal timer for the project in real time or when the stop button is clicked.

Bye

Hi Giovanni,

Here's Part 3 that shows the realtime update of total time elpased for the project:

Note:
1. Have also added a new format_time() function that doesn't use the date() function. It also works with time greater than 24 hours. Please see if this one works on your machine.

2. To prevent user from clicking the button_blank32.gif, you method works fine. Alternatively, you can check for

Code:

if ($model[$path][8]==0)

. For projects, parent=0, so column 8 will be 0. Regards, /kksou
