Hi Tim
Where should people who are not developers send the tips to? To you?
Here is one contribution:
--------------
Title: Add the current date to a map layout
Content: You can add a current date variable to your map layout. Create
a regular text label and add the string $CURRENT_DATE(yyyy-MM-dd) to the
text box. See the <a
href="http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdate.html#toString";>QDate::toString
format documentation</a> for the possible date formats.

Hi
Yesterday I added a 'tip of the day' type dialog that appears when
QGIS starts. You have probably have seen a similar feature in other
applications. And no, before you ask, we are not going to implement a
'Mr. Paperclip' function next :-). Right now the tip list is rather
basic so I would like to invite everyone to submit your favourite
little tips for QGIS. Here are some guidelines:
- The tip should have a short title
- The tip content should be short - one or two paragraphs
- Simple HTML formatting can be used for the tip, including links,
lists etc.
- Tips should be broadly useful and perhaps reveal functionality that
users may have otherwise overlooked.
Here is an example submission:
Title: Quick access to project properties
Content: You can quickly access the project properties dialog by
clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of the window in the
status bar area.
If you are a developer, you can add tips directly to
src/app/qgstipfactory.cpp - it should be self explanatory what to do
when you look at the source.
Regards
Tim
