Code to get Date displayed

[doomlord911]

Can someone tell me what the code is to get the date displayed in mm/dd/yyyy format just below the time. I just need the code I would figure out the X/Y coordinates and font sizes to place it.

It's something like this:

textmodel_time="gps.current_date" formatmodel="?????"

 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks.

Here you go.............

 

;Date

 

To get the date order how you want it, go to Settings > Navi > Regional > Date Format

Thank you dumpystig for the quick reply. I still haven't gotten a chance to check this out in my setup. I am probably going to change some variable values and see. What does the W value do?

[dumpystig]

'w' is the width of the (invisible) box that the particular text fits into. 'h' relates to height of same box, although this isn't come across as often.

I have not done any mods yet. I have an F7010BT US version. I am running the latest official Pioneer version 3.02 firmware and maps that came with this update.

 

This is the first mod I want to try. (And yes I know to backup before changing anything)

It took me a while to find this with a search.

 

From what I have read I believe this mods goes in the nav_800_480.ui, but have not looked yet.

 

Please give me the complete path to the file I need to modify to put this code in.

 

From the above post I assume if I change the font size to match the clock font size I might need to change the W and H values. Also to move it to the left of the time I would change the X and Y values.

 

I should be able to catch on quickly. I have made some simply Windows Registry files before and know some basic html, but am not a programmer. I have been a computer tech by trade I just have to get used to this and dig in. I have been waiting for my official update before I tried anything and my time has been very limited.
