Using a measure as Url for WebParser

[Miyako]

Hi, I'm trying to find an easy way to make a calendar skin by a PHP-script I wrote. The only input it needs is the current day, month and year but that's where my problem begins. Is it possible to use a measure in the Url for a WebParser?

Something like this for example:

Code: Select all

Url=http://localhost/calendar.php&d=[MeasureDay]&m=[MeasureMonth]&y=[MeasureYear]

I tried it already several times but it's acting really strange. The value of the WebParser-data is returning my [MeasureYear] (or if I use another measure it will show that one) but not the result.

This is what my measures look like:

Code: Select all

[MeasureUrl]
Measure=Time
Format=http://localhost/Calendar/calendar.php?d=%d&m=%m&y=%Y
UpdateDivider=6000

[MeasureData]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser
Url=[MeasureUrl]
RegExp=(?siU)<y>(.*)</y>
StringIndex=1
UpdateRate=6000

I'm sure the problem is not the webpage because when I enter normal digits (not measures) it works fine.

Unfortunately, it is impossible at the present time.

Are you quite sure there is no way he can do this? It seems pretty similar to: http://rainmeter.net/cms/Tips-WebParserImageRelative which does work.

Because uses are different in this case, that method is useless, and it has some limits.

1). Url=http://example.com/[Measure].html
You can handle such URL as download URL. However, you cannot parse from this URL as a source. I mean you can only download a file.

2). Url=http://example.com/[Measure1]&[Measure2]&[Measure3].html
You cannot include multiple [Measure] in URL like ↑

I see. That makes sense.
