[SOLVED] Create a "quote of the day" skin using brainyquote

[tilnic]

Hi everyone! I have a "quote of the day" skin which uses quotationspage.com. Now I want to create a new skin which uses brainyquote.com feed with the same settings. Is it possible? I tried to change the url and the regexp but it doesn't work, I imagine it isn't enough. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter] 
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
Prev=1

[MeasureSite] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
Url="http://feeds.feedburner.com/brainyquote/QUOTEBR"
RegExp="(?siU)<title>(.*)</title>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<title>(.*)</title>.*<description>"(.*)"</description>"
UpdateDivider=-1
UpdateRate=-1

[MeasureAuthor1] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=1
IfCondition=#prev# > 4
IfTrueAction=[!setvariable prev 1][!Update][!redraw]
IfCondition2=#prev# <= 0
IfTrueAction2=[!setvariable prev 4][!Update][!redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureQuote1] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
StringIndex=2

[MeasureAuthor2] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=3

[MeasureQuote2] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=4

[MeasureAuthor3] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=5

[MeasureQuote3] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=6

[MeasureAuthor4] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=7

[MeasureQuote4] 
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
DecodeCharacterReference=1
StringIndex=8

[MeterQuote] 
Meter=String 
MeasureName=MeasureQuote#prev#
X=505
ClipString=2
ClipStringW=370
FontColor=255,255,255,230
FontFace=Josefin Sans
FontSize=13
StringEffect=SHADOW
StringAlign=Center
AntiAlias=1
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
MouseScrollUpAction=[!SetVariable Prev "(#prev#-1)"][!Update][!redraw]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!SetVariable Prev "(#prev#+1)"][!Update][!redraw]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeterAuthor]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureAuthor#prev#
MeterStyle=MeterQuote
StringStyle=BoldItalic
Y=2R
DynamicVariables=1

Many thanks in advance

Try to add the following variable, to the [Variables] section (will be used immediately):

Code: Select all

Item=<title>(.*)</title>.*<description>"(.*)"</description>.*<link>(.*)</link>

Replace the RegExp option of the [MeasureSite] measure with:

Code: Select all

RegExp=(?siU)<title>.*</title>.*<title>.*</title>.*#Item#.*#Item#.*#Item#

Note that you can add further #Item# variables if you need, but in such case, you also will have to add further child WebParser measures.
If you did all this, you have to modify the StringIndex options, as it follows:

Code: Select all

[MeasureAuthor1] 
...
StringIndex=1

[MeasureQuote1] 
...
StringIndex=2

You also can add the following measure, which will return a link:

Code: Select all

[MeasureLink1]
Measure=Plugin 
Plugin=WebParser
URL=[MeasureSite]
StringIndex=3

Please post the whole code of your skin.

Please post the whole code of your skin.

Here's the code

The StringIndex values are wrong. Modify them, as it follows:

Code: Select all

[MeasureAuthor1] 
...
StringIndex=1
...

[MeasureQuote1] 
...
StringIndex=2

[MeasureAuthor2] 
...
StringIndex=4

[MeasureQuote2] 
...
StringIndex=5

[MeasureAuthor3] 
...
StringIndex=7

[MeasureQuote3] 
...
StringIndex=8

[MeasureAuthor4] 
...
StringIndex=10

[MeasureQuote4] 
...
StringIndex=11

Leave alone the not posted options, of the above measures.
A few more:

• You can add, besides [MeasureLink1], some other similar "link" measures, to get all links, of each quotation. For this, add, beside [MeasureLink1], the following measures:

  Code: Select all

  [MeasureLink1]
  Measure=Plugin 
  Plugin=WebParser
  URL=[MeasureSite]
  StringIndex=3
  
  [MeasureLink2]
  Measure=Plugin 
  Plugin=WebParser
  URL=[MeasureSite]
  StringIndex=6
  
  [MeasureLink3]
  Measure=Plugin 
  Plugin=WebParser
  URL=[MeasureSite]
  StringIndex=9
  
  [MeasureLink4]
  Measure=Plugin 
  Plugin=WebParser
  URL=[MeasureSite]
  StringIndex=12

  (Be careful, the StringIndex option of the [MeasureLink1] measure is also replaced, fix it).
• Add the following option, to the [MeterQuote] meter: LeftMouseUpAction=["[MeasureLink#Prev#]"]. This way, if you click a quotation, the appropriate page will open.
• Three #Item# variables into the RegExp option of the [MeasureSite] measure are not enough. When you scroll, the Prev variable gets the values between 1 and 4, so I'd add at least one more #Item# variable.
• If on the page are less quotations, than the number of added #Item# variables, the skin won't work, because it can't get so many quotations as many variables are. To fix this, I modified the Item variable, to use the Lookahead Assertion: Item=(?(?=.*<tit).*le>(.*)</title>.*<description>"(.*)"</description>.*<link>(.*)</link>). Now you can add as many #Item# variables, as you'd like. The first ones will return the existent quotations and authors, the last one will return empty strings, but the measure will work.
