HI Lou,

Don't feel bad. I'm not sure I understand how dependencies work either! There are a few things you can do like pre and post load scripts in Monticello that I use. You should understand how those work. You can right-click on a package in Monticello and "add required packages" but I'm not sure how that works.

When I try to load your code I get this:

This package depends on the following classes:

RotaryDialMorph

You must resolve these dependencies before you will be able to load these definitions:

That was very helpful for me to find the other repository that was required.

I don't see your other class but that is because it's not a superclass of other code.

The best way is to have good documentation in multiple locations so that people understand the feature is available.

Monticello also has Monticello Configurations which are very useful! That allows you to add multiple repositories and package versions into one package that is easy to load. I use that to keep track of specific versions of packages that make an application. You could commit one of those into your repository to let people know there is another repository available you can use to add features.

Maybe someone can help explain how "add required packages" is used or what it does.

All the best,

Ron

Hi Ron and Everyone,

Thank you all for your comments and help. It seems there is a project name size limitation
that I didn't notice when I first created the project. So I removed the project named
"ClockAndCalendarMorp" and created a new one called "ClockCalendarMorphs". The old project is
still listed and I'm not sure how to get rid of it?

I made a few changes. The latest version is ClockAndCalendarMorphs-LL.3.mcz.

I fixed a bug or two that Ron pointed out, thanks Ron. If latitude or longitude are not
supplied I try to use Ron's web access to get them. I used the JSON package Tim said he uses
(I found it before I saw his post, so I got lucky). I wrapped that code to trap and ignore
errors. I changed the calendar header where the date/time/sunrise/sunset info is displayed.
It's a little taller, shows seconds on sunrise and sunset (not really needed but why not) and
uses 24 hour or AM/PM. I made the simple clock handles a little easier to tell apart.

I didn't add any dependencies as I'm still confused as to how that works.

Lou
