Also I get Calc: Extra operation error for MeasureCurrentLatitude and MeasureCurrentLongitude at skin refresh

This is caused by the fact that when the skin is refreshed / loaded, the [MeasureLatitude] and [MeasureLongitude] measures don't have yet a value, because they need a few moments until get their values. So their values are empty, but the [MeasureCurrentLatitude] and [MeasureCurrentLongitude] measures are waiting for numeric values. This fact gives the error.
My bad, should have been realize this will happen. But didn't check the log in time. Sorry.
To fix this, just add the following two options to both measures [MeasureLatitude] and [MeasureLongitude]:

Code: Select all

[MeasureLatitude]
...
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^$":"#Latitude#"

[MeasureLongitude]
...
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^$":"#Longitude#"

Using these options ensures the measures are not empty even on the very first moment after refresh.

Note that with the measures posted by you, when the value returned by the [MeasureAdapter] measure is GOOSEVPN, the VPNOn variable is set to 1 and the values returned by the [MeasureCurrentLatitude] and [MeasureCurrentLongitude] measures are #Latitude# and #Longitude# accordingly. If the [MeasureAdapter] measure doesn't match GOOSEVPN, the VPNOn variable is set to 0 and this time the values returned by the [MeasureCurrentLatitude] and [MeasureCurrentLongitude] measures are [MeasureLatitude] and [MeasureLongitude] accordingly. I think this way, this is not exactly ok. Is it?

No need to disable the Calc measures. See my previous post above.

JamX wrote: ↑March 20th, 2020, 5:32 pm the URL assignment still does not work.

Same for this question as well: see the above reply.

This is exactly what I need.
VPN OFF; MeasureCurrentLatitude and MeasureCurrentLongitude to be the locations lat and long base on IP address. [MeasureLatitude] and [MeasureLongitude] accordingly.
VPN ON; MeasureCurrentLatitude and MeasureCurrentLongitude to be my standard Locations coordinates. #Latitude# and #Longitude# accordingly.

So this is what I've got so far:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Language=en-GB
UpdateRate=600

VPNOn=0

;--- Lat & Long for Landgraaf NL ---
Latitude=50.8871
Longitude=6.0116


[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureLocationIP]
Measure=WebParser
URL=https://ipapi.co/json
RegExp="(?siU)"city": "(.*)".*"region": "(.*)".*"country_name": "(.*)",.*"latitude": (.*),.*"longitude": (.*),.*"
UpdateRate=#UpdateRate#
FinishAction=[!UpdateMeasureGroup GeocodeGroup]
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureLatitude]
Group=GeocodeGroup
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureLocationIP]
StringIndex=4
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^$":"#Latitude#"

[MeasureLongitude]
Group=GeocodeGroup
Measure=WebParser
URL=[MeasureLocationIP]
StringIndex=5
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^$":"#Latitude#"

[MeasureAdapter]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=ADAPTER_DESCRIPTION
SysInfoData=Best
DynamicVariables=1
IfMatch=GOOSEVPN
IfMatchAction=[!SetVariable VPNOn "1"][!UpDateMeasure "MeasureCurrentLatitude"][!UpDateMeasure "MeasureCurrentLongitude"][!SetVariable URLCurrent "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude]"][!EnableMeasure "@CurrentAll"][!SetVariable URLForecast "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/tenday/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude]"][!EnableMeasure "@ForecastAll"]
IfNotMatchAction=[!SetVariable VPNOn "0"][!UpDateMeasure "MeasureCurrentLatitude"][!UpDateMeasure "MeasureCurrentLongitude"][!SetVariable URLCurrent "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude]"][!EnableMeasure "@CurrentAll"][!SetVariable URLForecast "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/tenday/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude]"][!EnableMeasure "@ForecastAll"]

[MeasureCurrentLatitude]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(1 - #VPNOn#) * [MeasureLatitude] + (#VPNOn#  * #Latitude# )
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureCurrentLongitude]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(1 - #VPNOn#) * [MeasureLongitude] + (#VPNOn#  * #Longitude# )
DynamicVariables=1

When VPNon = 1 I get.
MeasureLatitude = 52.3109 (VPN location latitude)
MeasureLongitude = 4.9453 (VPN location longitude)
MeasureAdapter=GOOSEVPN
MeasureCurrentLatitude=50.8871
MeasureCurrentLongitude=6.0116
So this is OK

Capture1.JPG

The URLCurrent and URLForecast are correct
https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/today/l/50.8871,6.0116

Capture2.JPG

When VPNon = 0 the returned Lat and Long are OK
MeasureLatitude = 50.8871 (My IP location latitude)
MeasureLongitude = 6.0116 (My IP location longitude)
MeasureAdapter=Realtek PCIe .....
MeasureCurrentLatitude=50.8871
MeasureCurrentLongitude=6.0116
This is also OK

Capture3.JPG

But the URLCurrent and URLForecast are NOT OK

Capture4.JPG

https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/today/l/50.8871,50.8871
The longitude value is NOT OK (Latitude value is used)

Both VPNon situations use the same [!SetVariable URLCurrent "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude]"] code so why do I get when VPNon=0 correct MeasureCurrentLongitude but wrong Longitude assignment in the URL???

But what are the actual values of the urlcurrent and urlforecast variables? I suppose the provided code is not the complete code, the [Variables] section (where probably the variables are set) is not included. Please take a look to both variables. I suppose they are mistakenly set to:

urlcurrent=https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/today/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLatitude], respectively:
urlforecast=https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/tenday/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLatitude],

instead of:

urlcurrent=https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/today/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude] and:
urlforecast=https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/tenday/l/[MeasureCurrentLatitude],[MeasureCurrentLongitude].

Please check. I suppose this because in the posted image I see the same 50.8871 value two times, one after the other, so probably the same value is repeated.

The same lat and long happen because you have set the same Substitute="^$":"#Latitude#" in both your substitutes from [MeasureLatitude] and [MeasureLongitude]. Correcting the latter should fix this ... although this means that in this particular case you are in effect getting the empty string for both (not sure if this is what you expect).

EDIT: Also, the skins doesn't have any meters included, which leads Rainmeter to unload it as a result. Just saying...

Yeah, don't worry - it happens to all of us once in a while. That's one of the side effects of copy-paste, after all: sometimes you forget to modify the text you just pasted...

Still I have 1 strange item left which I can not explain.
When The VPN is ON and I refresh the skin the MeasureCurrentLatitude and MeasureCurrentLongitude display the lat and long of the variables I've declared. That's OK.

When I turn VPN OFF MeasureCurrentLatitude and MeasureCurrentLongitude get the values VPN lat and Long and at the 2nd refresh of the skin you'll see these, wrong, measurements in the weather data
In the 3rd refresh the correct data is displayed.

See movie: http://www.filefactory.com/file/7j43cn8eya7p/Project.mp4

Here is the skin with meters.

Yep, didn't notice this, even if this mistake has been introduced earlier.
Congrats, good observation...
