Not working

Why isn't this working?
I think the problem is in Url=[mChamp1] but I dont know how to do it any other way.
measure website returns links, which have "\" near every "/", so i used substitute to delete those.

This is a tricky little challenge. The problem is that both "child" measures and the Download=1 option ignore any "Substitute" values.

So I don't think there is a way to get the images from that site in native Rainmeter.

However, we can do it with a really simple Lua script, and a somewhat less simple (but not too bad) skin.

Lua:

Code: Select all

function Initialize()

	msSite = SKIN:GetMeasure('MeasureWebsite')
	msPath = SKIN:GetVariable('CURRENTPATH')
	
end -->Initialize

function Update()

	sInput = msSite:GetStringValue()
	sOutput = string.gsub(sInput, '\\', '')
	
	hFile = io.open(msPath..'Output.txt', 'w')
	hFile:write(sOutput)
	hFile:close()
	
	SKIN:Bang('!EnableMeasureGroup', 'LocalFile')
	SKIN:Bang('!DisableMeasure', 'MeasureLuaScript')
	
end -->Update

What we are doing is getting the entire text of the web site in the main WebParser measure.

Then with FinishAction we fire up the Lua script. The Lua parses the result and removes
the "\" characters, then writes it to a local file. The Lua then "enables" some patiently waiting measures in the skin.

Those measures then use that local file with a normal WebParser "parent / child" approach to download the images, and we display them in meters.

Let me know if you have any questions, this might take just a couple of minutes to wrap your head around.

Thanks! And you actually finished the skin. Awesome support!
