Hi All !

I would like to setup a default kde desktop. For example I would like to add the "weather forecast" widget by default.
Do you know a command which add a widget ?
There are other solution ?

Same for custom shortcuts ...

Thx

not elegant but if you create the desktop you wish to share just copy the necessary files to the new users - necessary files should be ~/.kde[4]/share/config/plasma*rc

same for shortcuts, they should be ~/.kde[4]/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc

yeah ! Excellent

I found a way too : This is for Montpellier in France

Code: Select all


function configureWeatherWidgets4Montpellier(widget)
{
widget.writeConfig("Share",false)
widget.writeConfig("pressureUnit",5008)
widget.writeConfig("source","bbcukmet|weather|Montpellier Aeroport Mediterranee, France|http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/2648/ObservationsRSS.xml")
widget.writeConfig("speedUnit",9001)
widget.writeConfig("temperatureUnit",6001)
widget.writeConfig("updateInterval",30)
widget.writeConfig("visibilityUnit",2007)
}

activities = activities()
print("there are " + activities.length + " activities")
if(activities){
  for(a in activities){
      activity = activities[a]
      activity.addWidget("weather")
      widgetIdsTab = activity.widgetIds
      if(widgetIdsTab){
   for(w in widgetIdsTab){
    
       widget = activity.widgetById(widgetIdsTab[w])
       print("widget id : "+widget.id)
       print("widget type : "+widget.type)
       if(widget.type === "weather"){
         widget.reloadConfig()
         configureWeatherWidgets4Montpellier(widget)
       }
   }
      }
  }
}



Launch the Desktop Shell Scripting Console ...

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop /MainApplication loadScriptInInteractiveConsole fullPath/to/our/script


... and run it

But it's not 100% automatic so I will probably choose your's

If you check on Techbase, Administrators and Distributors have the ability to add "first run" setup scripts written in the same javascript you used above.
