#RSS Setup - Don't change unless you want these values hard-coded!
uri=$1                                                  #URI of RSS Feed

#Script start
#Require a uri, as a minimum
if [[ "$uri" == "" ]]; then
        echo "No URI specified, cannot continue!" >&2
        echo "Please read script for more information" >&2
else
        #Set defaults if none specified
        if [[ $lines == "" ]]; then lines=25 ; fi
        if [[ $titlenum == "" ]]; then titlenum=2 ; fi

        #The actual work
        curl -s --connect-timeout 30 $uri |\
        sed -e 's/<\/title>/\n/g' |\
        grep -o '<title>.*' |\
        sed -e 's/<title>//' |\
        head -n $(($lines + $titlenum)) |\
        tail -n $(($lines))
fi

Hope someone can use this for his own script, i have had alot of cool ideas from this thread.

I'm totally using that TVRage now! I did edit the conky-rss.sh a bit, replacing the above code in red with:

        grep -o '<title>.*'|\
        sed -e 's/\(<title>\)\(.*\)\(<\/title>.*\)/\2/'|\

Just to eliminate a line of code. I dunno why. I just find that if I can do the same thing with fewer lines of code I just have to do it. Even if it's just one line less.

Is it possible to write conky script for one line scrolling rss feeds?
I need something like that.

Yes it is. Just use:

${scroll XX whatever-text-or-variable-you-want}

XX is the number of characters you want to display at one time of the text scrolling.

EDIT: The scrolling speed is dependent on the time of your update interval.

These rc's are awesome but I can't get the icons or logos to show up - all I get are letters like "U" for Ubuntu - can u help?

Do you have the Open Logos font in your fonts folder? If you do you could just put this in your conky to have the Logo show up

${font OpenLogos:size=35} u

OK, I have hit upon a Major Idea(tm) in conky design...

...the down side is I need someone who knows how to design fonts to collaberate this with me.


PM me, please!



I'll hold my silence until I hear from you... but don't keep me waiting for too long!

I want to see this.

stylebats is the other popular font to use for an image.

Hi,

Is there anyway to just have a config only show a clock and weather and nothing else?

Can anyone hook it up with a config if possible if somebody else has done this?

heh, t-mo_ and I are still hammering this out, but I'm certain that it will go over well.

Yes, there is a way. Look through this thread. Most configs have a clock and some have weather. Strip everything else out and you've got it.
