IPv6 address display

[dapper]

I hope someone can help.

I'm looking to display my IPv6 WAN address along side the existing IPv4 address. I've found a few ways to find and display this information, I'm just not sure how to incorporate the data into my skin. The site I'm thinking of using is:

http://whatsmyipv6.org/

They offer a 'backend' specifically for use by applications like Rainmeter. The "backend" uses a JSON file with the following format:

Address - http://whatsmyipv6.org/backend.php
JSON - {"protocoll":"IPv6","address":"IPv6 address goes here"}

Any help would be appreciated.

You could use something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureIPV6]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
URL=http://whatsmyipv6.org/backend.php
RegExp="(?siU)(?(?=IPv6).*"address":"(.*)")"
Substitute="":"No IPv6"
FinishAction=!ShowMeter MeterIPV6
StringIndex=1

[MeterIPV6]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureIPV6
FontSize=12
FontColor=255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=1

What this does is use WebParser to check your IPv6 address on that site/backend. It uses a lookahead assertion to address a situation where a system does not have IPv6 enabled (still fairly common) without creating an error condition due to the regular expression failing. If the IPv6 is not found, then an empty string is returned instead, and we use a Substitute option to set to some text value.

Then when the WebParser measure is done, it "unhides" the String meter, so we only get a valid result there, and it doesn't start out with "No IPv6" when the skin is first loaded or refreshed.

But since this webpage returns your protocoll (IPv4 or IPv6) and the corresponding IP number, it's (IMHO) not necessary.

Thank you both for the suggestions. Off to play
