I just noticed, when parsing the rainmeter forum rss feed, the script does not strip the cdata tags in the item title.

I just noticed, when parsing the rainmeter forum rss feed, the script does not strip the cdata tags in the item title.

You're right, the script itself doesn't do that. I've just been using Substitute="<![CDATA[":"","]]>":"" on the WebParser. I'll move it to the script, though; it's a common enough tag that adding the Substitute by hand would be annoying.

just an idea:

how about adding

Code: Select all

Substitute="#CRLF#":" "

to avoid line breaks. some feeds have them, for example:
http://www.shanghaidaily.com/rss/latest/

Added on the script side. Thanks for pointing this out. :)

another thing to add to WebParserSubstitute (to avoid the display of question marks for non-breaking space with some fonts):

Code: Select all

Substitute="‎":""

important: the ini has to be Unicode encoded.
else there will be Substitute="?":""

I replied to the aforementioned thread. Your solution works for now, but I'm going to try and get this addressed from the Lua side of things.

the script just stopped working for me with the new Rainmeter version: 2.4 beta (r1673)

i get this error:

Script: File not valid in [MeasureReader]

other lua scripts work.

What is the complete path of the script file in this instance? (I suspect the issue is related to this.)

[Alex Becherer]

Code: Select all

[MeasureReader]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile="#@#includes\Reader.lua"
MeasureName=MeasureFeed|MeasureFeed2|MeasureFeed3
MinItems=5
MaxItems=5

complete path is:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Alex\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Sphynx\@RESOURCES\Includes\Reader.lua

what does confuse me is that the other lua scripts in the same folder do work.
using the full path in the section does return the same error.


btw: the example EveReader skin in post number 1 of this thread returns the same error.

This was indeed a bug in today's beta, and has now been fixed. Grab the updated beta from the homepage. Sorry about that; thanks for reporting. :)
