Is there any skins out there which parses a static image into the skin from the web. via http address

Yes. You can use WebParser and Download=1 to do that.

There are many skins that do this. The InterfaceLIFT skin of Rainify is one: http://poiru.deviantart.com/art/Rainify-1-0-RC-170149696

do you have another example?

im trying to parse this image http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDJPY=X&t=5d

so im assuming the url is as follows
http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/z?s=USDJPY%3dX&t=5d&q=&l=&z=l&p=s&a=v&p=s&lang=en-SG&region=SG


how ever, seemingly the skin doesnt seem to be able to extract the info because iassume ofthe variable;div class tags

however im unable to customise it to work

any help?

I was able to get this working by adding the "DownloadFile" key. Presently updates once per hour. (UpdateRate is expressed in seconds, in this case.)

Code: Select all

this doesnt get the file too,
i see the folder tjhough

[Besley]

okay some sharing

i found that DownloadFile=#CURRENTPATH#image.png is not needed
it already is in the skin's root directory, hence failed downloading

[kenz0]

Basically, DownloadFile function allows download only into "DownloadFile" dir.
So DownloadFile dir is a root path, and that is a top lebel, so you don't need to define with absolute path using #CURRENTPATH#.

Try this.
