Getting webparser to run on change

[DanielPodo]

Please see the code below for a simple skin.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
@include=#@#Styles.inc

; **********************************
; MEASURES

[measureConnection]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY
Substitute="-1":"No big","1":"Yes big","0":"Wait"

[measureDNS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=DNS_SERVER
Substitute="":"N/A"
UpdateDivider=-1

[measureWAN]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=http://www.tell-my-ip.com/index.html
RegExp=(?siU)<td.*>Your IP Address.*<td>(.*)</td>
StringIndex=1
Substitute="":"No connection"
UpdateRate=-1

[meterConnectionIcon]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=measureConnection
ImagePath=#@#Images\Android icons\
W=50
Solidcolor=0,0,0,1
LeftMouseUpAction=[Shell:::{8E908FC9-BECC-40f6-915B-F4CA0E70D03D}]
DynamicVariables=1

[meterNetworkInfo]
Meter=String
MeasureName=measureDNS
MeasureName2=measureWAN
MeterStyle=SmallText
X=0R
Y=8
Text=%1#CRLF#%2

Now if I lose the internet, meterConnectionIcon and DNS part of meterNetworkInfo change accordinly (once the skin refreshes). However, the WAN IP part doesn't change. What's the best way of getting it to update? It seems measureConnection is reliable, but would an OnChange function suffice? I already tried it and it didn't work, so I'm guessing UpdateRate takes precendence?

Thanks all!

Try to add an OnChangeAction=[!CommandMeasure "measureWAN" "Reset"] option to the [measureConnection] measure.

Hmm, odd. This worked when I disabled my ethernet...but it didn't work when I enabled it. I've no idea why that would happen, as on both accounts, the [measureConnection] measure changes.

Yeah, you're right. Add to the previous OnChangeAction option the following bang: [!CommandMeasure "measureWAN" "Update"] (into the [measureConnection] measure). This way, you'll have the following option: OnChangeAction=[!CommandMeasure "measureWAN" "Reset"][!CommandMeasure "measureWAN" "Update"].
Merry Christmas.

Thanks! Now it works! Awesome.
