DIGI DayNightClock

[balala]

The code works, but I want the skin to be refreshed automatically when the Enter key is pressed.

It is, by the !Refresh bang of the Command1 option of the [MeterInput] meter.

I would also like to know if I somehow skipped something in the code.

There are two greater errors in your code:

• There is a missing space between the "$UserInput$" parameter and the file name ("#@#Location.inc"), into the !WriteKeyValue bang of the Command1 option of [MeterInput] meter. Put it back: Command1=[!WriteKeyValue Variables LocationURL "$UserInput$" "#@#Location.inc"][!Refresh].
• The [MeterAddress] meter should have to show the LocationURL variable, not the Location (otherwise a Location variable doesn't even exist). So, I replaced the Text=#Location# option of the [MeterAddress] meter with: Text=#LocationURL#.

On the other hand, there still are a few less important errors, which doesn't prevent the skin to work, but still are important and should have to be fixed as well:

• The !PluginBang bang (used into the LeftMouseUpAction option of the [MeterAddress] meter) is deprecated and should have to not be used. Instead you should have to use !CommandMeasure. The !PluginBang still works, but probably just for backward compatibility reasons. This means that you should have to replace the LeftMouseUpAction=[!PluginBang "MeterInput ExecuteBatch 1"] option of the [MeterAddress] meter with: LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeterInput" "ExecuteBatch 1"] (again, although !PluginBang still works, it is deprecated).
• !Execute, same as !PluginBang, is a deprecated bang. Don't use it (eg in the MouseOverAction and MouseLeaveAction options of the [MeterCloseButton] and [MeterCloseButtonActive] meters).
• There is not needed to include the value of any option into quotes (for example the "#LocationURL#" value of the DefaultValue option of the [MeterInput] meter): https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=144784#p144784

I also would add a link to the 1.Go to website Foreca.com string, to can click it to open the Foreca.com website. Would be easier for users.

Thank you very much for the corrections.
But I still have to refresh manually for the skin to display the new data.
Action can not happen automatically when I press the Enter key ?

As I said, it is refreshed every time you hit Enter. Just check the Log, where you can see when it is refreshed.
If doesn't work, please post the last code you have.

I think it is my mistake that I did not specify that I would like 24H.ini to be refreshed automatically when the Enter key is pressed.

I tried [! Refresh *] but refreshes all the active skin.

I think I found the solution: I added [! Refresh "DIGI DayNightClock"] after ! Refresh

You can't refresh a specific skin (like 24H.ini), just a config. In this case doesn't matter which skin of the specified config is loaded, it will be refreshed.

I tried [! Refresh *] but refreshes all the active skin.

Yes, normal. [!Refresh] refreshes just the current skin, while [!Refresh *] refreshes all loaded skins (including the current one).

You mean both? Are they needed? I'd remove the !Refresh bang.

The first time ,I removed the !Refresh Bang, but the new link was not displayed, so I kept it.
Now, after pressing the Enter key, both the link and the skin data (24H or 12H) are updated.

Oh, now I understand.
Ok, instead of refreshing all, I'd refresh just the current two configs: [!Refresh "DIGI DayNightClock"][!Refresh "DIGI DayNightClock\Settings"].

And one more detail I just saw in your last posted code: take care that the !DeactivateConfig bang, unlike !ActivateConfig, doesn't need two parameters. In the LeftMouseUpAction option of the [MeterCloseButtonActive] meter, you have this: LeftMouseUpAction=!DeactivateConfig "DIGI DayNightClock\Settings" [color=#FF0000]"Settings.ini"[/color]. But correctly this would be: LeftMouseUpAction=!DeactivateConfig "DIGI DayNightClock\Settings", because the !DeactivateConfig doesn't care which skin of the DIGI DayNightClock\Settings config is loaded, it will deactivate the loaded one.

If you want, post once more the updated package. I'd check it.
