FeedReader w/ sorting

Post by **Kaelri** » October 27th, 2012, 2:57 pm

I have a... let's call it an "alpha" version of a new Reader script that supports both combining and sorting feeds. See here.

Yes it would be possible to add a tool-tip displaying the <description> of each item. I didn't include it because I usually find the the title is enough to decide whether or not to click on the link and display the full article. I also think that tooltips make a bit of a mess of the display when you have a small font size.

I'll give that a thrashing when I can as I think there were a few buggets in the previous PM'd version. Can't remember exactly what the problem was but think it had something to do with the way i was trying to sort by date using:

Code: Select all

	-- SORT FEEDS BY DATE					
		local SortedFeed = {}
		for k,v in ipairs( Feed ) do table.insert( SortedFeed, k, v ) end	
		table.sort(SortedFeed, function(a,b) return a.Date > b.Date end)

I'm wondering if it is possible to display more than 5 feeds. Also wondering if it is possible to change the width of FeedReader

Thanks!

You can change the width by altering the variable PanelWidth in FeedReader-Sorted.ini. The default of PanelWidth=300 gives the skin a width of 300 pixels.

An extra feed can be added by pasting the following measures and meters immediately after the corresponding measures and meters with number '5' in them:

Code: Select all

[Grabber6State]
Measure=CALC
Formula=#CurrentFeed#=6
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureFeed6]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=#URL6#
RegExp=(?siU)(.*)$
Substitute=#WebParserSubstitute#
FinishAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureReader" "Show(6)"]
UpdateRate=#UpdateRate6#

[Grabber6]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sButtonStyle | GrabberStyle[Grabber6State]
FontFace=Wingdings 2
Text='z'
Y=r
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "MeasureReader" "Show(6)"

Then change MeasureName in [MeasureReader] to

Code: Select all

MeasureName=MeasureFeed|MeasureFeed2|MeasureFeed3|MeasureFeed4|MeasureFeed5|MeasureFeed6

You then need to open FeedReader-Sorted.lua and change for f = 1,5 do to for f = 1,6 do on line 44

Code: Select all

	-- SET THE CUSTOM TITLES
	for f = 1,6 do 
		Feeds[f].CustomTitle = SKIN:GetVariable('CustomTitle'..f) or nil
    end

Finally, click on the yellow icon in the bottom right of the skin to add the new feed name, title and UpdateRate in uservariables.inc

Code: Select all

CustomTitle6="Added feed 6" 
URL6=http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml
UpdateRate6=1200

If you need more than six feeds just repeat the above and change all the '6's to '7's and so on.

hey
i get strange signs, what can i do ?

My code of UserVariables.inc:

My code of FeedReader-Sorted.ini:

This is because the skin needs the Wingdings 2 font to be installed on your computer. It is used by the statement [b]FontFace=Wingdings 2[/b] in Grabber's 1-8. The font comes with older versions of Microsoft Word but you can download it from here -> https://www.wfonts.com/font/wingdings-2

The arrows are set by FontFace=Webdings. I thought the Webdings font came with all versions of Windows. But if you haven't got it you can get it here -> https://www.fonts.com/font/microsoft-corporation/webdings/regular.

BTW, don't change the FontFace=Webdings or FontFace=Wingdings 2 lines. Just install the missing fonts.

Or, you can download the skin again from DA. I have just updated the .rmskin to include the fonts which may be missing from Windows 10.

I think the issue lies in the script file FeedReader-Sorted.lua. Scroll down to line 43 and change what is there to what is below (or just change the number '6' to '14').

Code: Select all

	-- SET THE CUSTOM TITLES
	for f = 1,14 do 
		Feeds[f].CustomTitle = SKIN:GetVariable('CustomTitle'..f) or nil
    end
