Using Web Parser to make RSS Feed display web text

[rainmeteruser01084]

Hi I am trying to make my RSS Reader skin display text from a webpage instead of displaying RSS feed.

The webpage is https://sitncrush.winningpokernetwork.eu/

I just want to have this information on my desktop so its always visible

Which functions of web parser would i need for this?

Also is it possible to center a row which contains a key word or in this case username?

I am using the Neon Space RSS Reader

Didn't check the skin, but just to get an idea, that skin was most likely built to display RSS feeds and not an entire webpage, not to mention that parsing an entire HTML, while possible, is a considerable amount of work (if the webpage doesn't use JavaScript to populate itself, that is, because that would make the job impossible).

So, assuming JavaScript isn't used that way, I believe the best choice would be to start fresh, adding the background of that skin and the nice graphics to the new skin, and then just extract the contents of the needed individual elements in order to display them.

Not sure this can be done into a RSS Reader skin (gonna give it a try later just in case), however here is an extremely simple code to get the needed information:

Code: Select all

No special design, the skin is extremely simple, with white characters on a black background. Please check it to see if it does what you need, then it can be improved, if needed.
Note that I added only four results. If you need more, you can simply increase their number by:

• Adding further #Item# variables into the RegExp option of the [MeasureParent] WebParser measure.
• Adding the corresponding number of [MeasureNumX], [MeasureNicknameX], [MeasurePointsX], [MeasureCashPrizeX], [MeasureProjectedX] and [MeasureTourTickX] measure, renumbering their StringIndex values.
• Adding the corresponding MeasureName options into the [MeterValues] meter and modifying its Text option.

If you can't do all this, please let me know, to assist you. Also let me know if the code does what are you waiting for.

Havent had time to try yet but wanted to say thanks.

I know the theme here is teach a man to fish, so I will attempt to learn the workings of that as well.

While I am learning, one challenge I had was that the downloadable web parser tutorial would not work for me. https://docs.rainmeter.net/tips/webparser-tutorial/ Wasn't sure if it was an outdated website or if it was my internet security settings.

I was also unclear on how to hide the raw HTML Code from the on screen display when using the web parser.

Hm...Yeah, looks like the site I was using there has changed. I will work on fixing that.

Are you talking about my code? If you are, I'm glad and tomorrow will dig into it to add it to the Neon Space skin.
