Can someone please help me?

[rucanunes]

Hello,

I'm new to RainMeter. I a teacher at Portugal and we have a webpage where all the recent notifications are posted.
I would like very much to place that in the background of the teacher's PCs but I don't have the skills to do that.

I'm now a bit familiar with RainMeter but I don't know how to create skins (I tried for two days now)

Would someone please help me create something very simple, just to get the info out of this page?
URL: http://www.aev-valbom.org/convocatorias-publica-2017-2018/

I'm using RainMeter at home to (See attachment). I would like something very simple like the Amnio Skin.

I would be very grateful for the help.

Thank you!

I learn from this tutorial about how to get data from site, follow it step by step and once you get the idea you probably will have so much fun staring at some text editor

Beside LittleOne's reply, I have to say that although this looks like a skin request (which is not allowed here on Rainmeter forum), I post an example, to show you how can you create the skin you'd like.
So, for first, here is a code:

Now a few words about the above code:
[MeasureRainmeter] is the parent WebParser measure. All others are child measures of this one, so they have set the Url=[MeasureRainmeter] option.
Below the parent measure, you have the following group of measures:

• [MeasureNr1] - [MeasureNr5] return the elements of the Number column (Nr. - the first column).
• [MeasureConvocatorias1] - [MeasureConvocatorias5] return the elements of the Convocatórias / Informações (Calls, if I'm not wrong) column.
• And finally the [MeasureInseridoEm1] - [MeasureInseridoEm5] measures return the Inserido em elements.

Appropriately, the used String meters are the following ones:

• [MeterNr1] - [MeterNr5] - used to display the strings (numbers) returned by the [MeasureNr1] - [MeasureNr5] measures.
• [MeterConvocatorias1] - [MeterConvocatorias5] - return the elements of the [MeasureConvocatorias1] - [MeasureConvocatorias5] measures.
• [MeterInseridoEm1] - [MeterInseridoEm5] obviously return the elements of the [MeasureInseridoEm1] - [MeasureInseridoEm5] measures.

The skin as is right now, reads just the first five elements of the list. Further elements can also be added, by adding further #Item# elements to the RegExp option of the [MeasureRainmeter] measure, the appropriate child WebParser measures (which will be similar to the [MeasureNr1] / [MeasureConvocatorias1] / [MeterInseridoEm1] - [MeasureNr5] / [MeasureConvocatorias5] / [MeterInseridoEm5], with the proper StrinIndex values) and the corresponding String meters. For first try this code and let me know if everything is ok. If it is and you need, I'll help you to add the needed further sections.
The code uses Lookahead Assertion. This means the code won't fail, even if there are no enough elements in the list. I don't know how the number of elements varies, but if there are less elements then five, the skin also works.
Now, does this code work?

[rucanunes]

I'm very sorry about my request. I didn't knew it was not allowed to ask for a skin.
I'll try to build this one. But I'm finding it very hard to code.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help. I'm going to try it.

[rucanunes]

Thank you very much for your help balala!!

I tried your code but I only get a grey bar...
I know a few HTML and PHP code, but this is new for me.

If I can get your help retreive some lines I think I'll be able to do the rest.

Once again I'm sorry and thank you for your help!!!

[rucanunes]

Hum... This is strange!! Today it worked... !!!

Today I'm going to try to add a title and change the size.
This was a GREAT help for me. Thank you balala!!!

[balala]

You're welcome.
Usually if the skins using WebParser measures (like this one) don't work, restarting Rainmeter many times help. Probably evening you shut down your computer, then when restarted it in the morning, the problem got solved.
Some details here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=136507#p136507
I'm glad if it's working as you waited. If you have any further question, please feel free to ask.

[rucanunes]

I'm now goint to try and add a title, change the backgroud color and font size.

You're a great guy balala! Thank you so much!!!

[balala]

You're a great guy balala!

Also thanks for the appreciations.

[rucanunes]

And I'm dumb!! Two hours and I can't ger the text aligned and the same font.. Damn!!
I'm trying to incorporate the Amino style here...
