PluginWebView - Make skin using web technology

[tass_co]

Hello again
I have a question.

Is there a chance to reload or refresh the page if there is a change in the page content?

I created a web page with Arduino. There is javascript code in the web page content. I access the page from different devices. When I make a change on my phone, the change is not updated on the open page on my PC. I need to refresh the skin. How can I do that solve?

I suppose the easiest way would be to periodically, at reasonable / acceptable intervals, update your WebView measure in the skin, using the OnUpdateAction of another UpdateDivider featured dummy measure, regardless of whether a change occurred or not.

Other than that, there are some GitHub tools appearing to do that (google them), there are various event listeners, there are some mutation observers, though I'm not sure they'll suit your case given its particularities:

Thank you

Actually, I found different solutions, but this time I got stuck in the CORS obstacle. I need to do some more research

Don't remind me of it, lol. It may be necessary and all in some cases, but otherwise workarounding it is a pain in the...

I also thought for a long time how to update the page, try the script

Code: Select all

-- urls.lua
urls = {
    "https://ohohohoho.com",
    "https://ohohohoho.com"
}
currentIndex = 1

function Initialize()
    -- oho
end

function Update()

    SKIN:Bang('!SetOption', 'MeasureWebView', 'URL', urls[currentIndex])
    SKIN:Bang('!UpdateMeasure', 'MeasureWebView')
    SKIN:Bang('!Redraw')

    currentIndex = currentIndex + 1
    if currentIndex > #urls then
        currentIndex = 1
    end
end

config ini

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=60000  ; 60s

[MeasureScript]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=urls.lua
UpdateDivider=1

[MeasureWebView]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebView
URL=https://ohohohoho.com

[WebViewMeter]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureWebView
X=10
Y=10
W=800
H=600

Thank you for the code
I decided to use !ToggleConfig instead of updating
