[release] AveScripter

awsome! i told myself id join here when the weather desklet came out, and here i am. by the way, how do you set your country on the weather desklet?

#331518

It's usually 'City, Country'

#331520

i know, i mean where do you go to set the city, country

#331521

just enter your city name and click the arrow-button right of the textfield. A menu will popup will all the possibilities, including your city, country.

#331522

But sadly it doesn't do partial matching. You need to type the name correctly. Example.. If you type Atlan it will give you no result, but type Atlanta then you'll see an entire list.

This is how the weather.com feed works :slant:

#331525

thanks, i didnt realise the little flippy thing in the corner

#331528

After months of waiting i get to use this baby and i have to say it was worth every second of waiting. Now i can finally release those new desklets i've been sitting on for months. (thank's to certain dutch developer's fat butt and cfootball craze :P )

Ave made me post this :P

#331539

Whoa! At last! This one is sweet! Thanks, pcm!

#331549

Thanks, looks amazing!

one thing - how do you use it? I've installed it but how do you load up an Avescripter desklet? All I have in options is Avescripter itself, no Battery, Calculator, Clock etc.

#331555

add them as you would add normal desklets

#331556

It's a bug that crops up from time to time. Completely remove the AveScripter directory, after closing any open avescripts if you have any, restart AveDesk and reinstall AveScripter. This has worked for me twice now, during the beta test and with this final release.

-@ Unbe, he probably only see's AveScripter with no expander option to list the scripts.

#331557

phil just told me he fixed the bug internally - I think you can expect a fix soon.

#331558

Skin not appearing in the list is fixed, I hope. This was a small bug with Windows API when I would search for subdirectories. For somereason, it wouldn't report them has directories. I"m now testing for the directory in another way.

Redownload the entire package. OR you can download the engine only here.

Now, if only the stupid site would show the list correctly.

Thanks, this is so great. but, both RSS widgets remains empty after typing my feeds url's

What is the URL? if you don't mind telling me.

The skin only supports RSS2 not RDF. Someone could very easly modify the skin to do RDF. Also, there is a bug with the feed if its a HTTPS. (Expect a fix this week I didn't think about https)

#331655

Wow fantastic, is there an ability to adjust the amount of feeds on view for RSS?

#331680

Wow fantastic, is there an ability to adjust the amount of feeds on view for RSS?

Are you talking about the amount of "lines" you see from a RSS in the viewer? The skin could be adjust to put a limit. If you change the script code you could set a maximum.

var ItemCnt = XMLFeed.GetValueCount('//channel/item');

Gets the amount the total of "items" a rss has. You could do something like this

var ItemCnt = XMLFeed.GetValueCount('//channel/item');

if (ItemCnt > 20) //limit of 20

{

ItemCnt = 20

}

Is this what your talking about? Or someone could make a Better version of rss and have it configurable. Or I can do it later after I do all the other more important things :P

#331697

Impressive work man. Thanks!

The weather and calender desklet are breathtaking!! :)

Nobody has answered my question. Is there a way that I was supposed to install it? I put it in the Installable Packages folder; nothing happened. I unrarred the contents into my Desklets folder, and I only see Avescripter in the list, and nothing else. There is no dropdown menu to choose the desklet to run. I removed the directory, closed all avescripter instances, and then recopied the directories from the avescripter installer package once more, but still, I get nothing. Can anyone help me? i know I'm not alone in this problem. Please help. Thanks.

#331748

Sorry... I answered this question before.. maybe in the bug area.. Download the latest version 1.0.0.1 there was a bug at i noticed after released that for some reason windows doesn't report the subdirectories as directories. This was fixed rightaway.. You should download the latest. Or just the engine. Both are at the site.
