WebParser.dll

Okay, I've started reading the documentation about creating skins and it's rather confusing. Regarding the WebParser.dll plugin, the variable "UpdateRate" states how many milliseconds between updating, right? The text days at the "Anatomy of a Skin" page: "You DO NOT want to hit a web site once a second, as you will be seen as a DOS attack..." etc. Then in the example, the UpdateRate is set to "600", which is surely even MORE often than once a second? The RSS skin I downloaded also has it set to 600. What's going on here?

EDIT: Also, how do I add more lines to VClouds RSS? I extended the MeasureItem and MeasureLink downwards, changing the final number each time, and changing the StringIndex each time. I also extended the Meters as well in a similar fashion, but there's still only 10 feeds shown.

UpdateRate is calculated like this: Update (under [Rainmeter], default is 1 sec) x UpdateRate. So 1 sec x 600 = 600 seconds.

You need to add stuff to the RegExp= line.

Oh, OK, that makes sense.

Like what? The code is

Code: Select all

RegExp="(?siU)<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>.*<item.*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)"

but what do I add?

(?(?=.*<item).*<title.*>(.*)</title>.*<link.*>(.*)</link>)

That gets the title and link for one item. Add that to the end of the RegExp line BEFORE the " to get one more item.

No, that still doesn't work.

Here's the full code:

What do you have for #RSS1#?

And have you intentionally commented out Item11, Item12, etc.? It should be [Item11], not ;[Item11]..

Ah, no! That's the problem here. Thanks for that - it's working now.
