HOWTO: VinDSL Conky Script

[dtokarz]

Guys - delete the conkywx temp directory and then update to see if anything happens - it is working for others with same layout - so...

cheers

If you are talking about the tmp\wx-dtokarz-conkywx.conf-pChA_r_27u0-m39 directory, I deleted it and forced an update and then restarted conky. Same output. Quite confusing.

Yes that change to the next day happens well before midnight - this is a wunderground thing.

for your images here is some data from the images template - you will need to change the values for -p option.

${image [D2I] -p 22,635 -s 34x34}${image [D3I] -p 82,635 -s 34x34}${image [D4I] -p 141,635 -s 34x34}${image [D5I] -p 198,635 -s 34x34}

This -p option is positionof the images in pixels right? And where from it starts counting from the previous section of conky or from where? And the -s is size in pixels right?

pls attach your currdata.html file from the conkywx temp directory - this looks interesting

Images take position from the full conkyrc based on top and left not from last position.

Yes the -s option is pixels

add this url for future reference http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html - conky documentation

Here ya go!

Thanks for the file...

OK - I had actually made a message to you asking you to wait for the next update - I knew it was the url which had 33606 id number - just before I posted your message had a look at the url in your log file HAAAAAA - got the pesky little url... can't get away from me lol

your url

Location="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=33606&sp=KFLTAMPA46"

url you should use

Location="http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:33606.1.99999"

You get this url from the history page of KFLTAMPA46 - this also works

http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=27.946%2C-82.464&sp=KFLTAMPA46

It is not something you as a user will realise - so not an error - this is an auto generated url - but it also adds the station ID.

You get the same station KTPF - this will change perhaps as wund rotates stations.

let me know if this fixes the issue

cheers

Good find! It now works as expected! =D> Weird how it worked all this time and then just stopped.

Is there a benefit to using either of those two URLs?

YES - they both work lol ha ha ha

I was actually trying to find how you got that url - I did get it once but after that it always worked.

If you just search for tampa florida you get the first id and if you click on conditions etc on the history page you get my second url.

The next update will do away with the way the final dayinfo gets generated. We learn all the time That way the url that did not work will also work

cheers

I've changed as you instructed me to:

${image [D2I] -p 22,750 -s 50x50}

And nothing happens there is no image at all.

I' ve commented out the lines where it was set with font.
