How can I contact authors of a skin I found @ Deviantart)
Posted: December 19th, 2018, 7:48 pm
I have been using, correcting, and modifying a Mass Effect skin I found @ DeviantArt. I know I can simply sign up for an account there, but it feels overly promiscuous to me. I know, I've gotten weird in my old age.
Any way, the immediately previous author goes by "RickF7666" there, and the one before him uses "Uruloki Burning". What I'd like to ask them is if either one remembers what string on Foreca's site a measure called "MeasureOBN" was looking for in the "WeatherForecast and Radar" module skin.
This is the code block in question:
I know it is scraping for a specific string on Foreca's site for the set city...but after making several attempts at inspecting the elements on the site for my city, I'm strongly thinking that Foreca has been modifying the HTML code since "version 2.0" of the "Weather and Radar" module skin was done.
I did figure out what was making measures "MeasureWET" and "MeasureWET2" fail...the string with the image value had changed. I commented the original expression, putting the working version under that in the code blocks:
Also, I discovered the image URI for the weather map images have been changed. I found some of them are using the URI folder pointer "https://s.w-x.co/util/image/map/". I don't know if IBM did a purge to cut down on storage space (an assumption from the fact that the company owns both "the Weather Channel" and "Weather Underground"), as there are fewer regions that I was able to find than those that had been included in the comment lines of the application.ini file.

Code: Select all
[MeasureOBN]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins/WebParser.dll
Url=#wURL1#
RegExp="(?siU)<div class="bot txt-tight grey">.*(.*)<br />.*"
;NOTE: does not appear that a string starting with "bot txt" exists in the HTML on Foreca's site now.
