Network Module

Post by Irontugboat »

Hello I am just starting out and have a few questions for the group.

I have the illsutro skin and the network module. I found the forum that will allow it to show me my local LAN IP Address and that is great. Is there a way to get it to show me the router SSID and the Router Gateway IP. Also is there a way to remove the top line that looks like a bunch of gibberish and maybe a mac address.

Here is my ini file for example
Network.ini

If you are seeing gibberish, perhaps the call to fetch your external IP address is failing. In the [MeasureIP] measure, replace the line URL=http://icanhazip.com/ with URL=https://checkip.amazonaws.com.

As far as getting the SSID and Router Gateway, these two measures should do it:

Code: Select all

[MeasureSSID]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WiFiStatus
WiFiInfoType=SSID
WiFiIntfID=0
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^-1$":"Not Connected","^0$":"No Connection"

[MeasureGateway]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=GATEWAY_ADDRESS
SysInfoData=Best
DynamicVariables=1
You'll need to add meters to the skin to display the values you get with these measures. I'll leave that part up to you... :)

LOL. I am not even sure what language the code is even written in. I can fumble my way though it to make edits so we will see what happens. I am sure i will be posting again.

Rainmeter is not really a "language", per se. It's just the old Windows-style .INI (config) file format. You might want to search around the "Share Your Creations" forum and see if someone created something that you can use without changes.
