No you only change the "target" or command line of any shortcut or icon that starts Xamurize. Eg in your menu or a desktop icon

I used the time_since_update function and added the last bit with normal text

Example: "Last updated"[time_since_update]"minutes ago"

If that makes sense...
Click to expand...

yup that makes sence... but when i test script or reload the config, it just keeps jumping to random numbers :rolleyes:

from like 2 / 11 / 9 ??

are there anyother settings then ?
 
Have you setup the write_function?

I have setup mine but it is hidden. This should normally display "Registry Written" but I shrunk it down so that it is invisible. :)

Also don't forget to set your desired times for both.
 
Can anyone help me getting this BBC News scrips to work, I keep getting "Doesnt support thjis property or method 'fs.close'"
This is using the bbcnews script from the samurize website.

For ie you can get away with
Code: 
iexplore.exe
If you want to open a specific page then
Code: 
iexplore.exe H:\My Documents\Personal Data\My Webs\new_page_1.htm
or
Code: 
http://www.overclockers.co.uk
All three open ie on my machine

You're using a TextFile Meter but not giving it a file to read from hence the error message. Try using a Text Meter

Edit fs.close wont work try Set fs = nothing but If its the script I think it is then I could never get it to work
 
The reason its coming up with "File not found" is becuase there is nothing in the "Text file to read from" field (at the bottom). :)

Try using a normal text meter, first on the drop down menu.
 
What do I need to put in the text file for the link text meter to read from?

This news script appears to be the problematic one. I'm now trying the one Benny suggested, the only problem is it doesn't take a new line for the news brief after so many words, so it just stretches across the screen, not the sleek look I want lol :)

[EDIT]

You're a hero Benny :D Got linking working now... How do you all have your Samurizes placed? ATM I've got normal window behaviour and lock position with use designed postion. I used to have pin to DT.

Go into the normal text file and tick the box for "Allow meter linkage" then put your url in there. :)

No help with the BBC news dealage I'm affraid. Ask some nice person to send there script through to you. :)
 
Appeal for a working BBC News Script

Can anyone send me a working BBC news script with headlines and story briefs?

Despite the help of many people I've still not managed to get the one from samurize.com working...


BTW Thanks for the help on the linking people :D

No worries, Yeah I do the same and used to pin it to the desktop but it seems certain things don't like it being pinned. Now thinking about it, samurize now uses less CPU time running it this way (Normal Windows Behaviour & Locked). :)

Looking good Andy C though I think you're right about the TV icons - maybe if you square them off and reduce in size they might work?
Click to expand...
Maybe, I tried to make them the same width as the other icons - doesn't work though does it. :) I may just use a single graphic in the top corner, rather than an icon for each channel.

Can you post the code that you added to the weather script and where did you find that alien?
Click to expand...
First add this to the list of parameters pulled from the website, put it after the "CURRENTVISIBILITY:" line:

html=replace(html,"Observed at ","OBSERVED:",1,1)

Then add this line to the list of values being written to the registry:

regwrite_ok=regwrite_ok+ write_registry_(Shell,html,"OBSERVED:")

Two lines below that you'll see the following, you need to change the number "50" to "52":

If regwrite_ok = 52 Then

Finally, add the following to the "write_registry_" function at the bottom of the script (I inserted it above the Shell.RegWrite.... line):

If w_object = "OBSERVED:" Then
w_obj_value = Left(w_obj_value,InStr(w_obj_value,"/")-3)
End If

That's it, now use the "ret_weather" function as normal, but with the parameter "OBSERVED:". If you like I've put the modified script here (I hope that's ok, Selekt0r).

Why do people have both an analogue and a digital clock? Tad redundant me thinks
Click to expand...
In my case I left the analogue clock as it looked nice, but the digital clock is easier for a quick glance. :)


Andy.
 
Oops, almost forgot... The Alien background was posted by mrk in the other desktop thread. It can be found fromh is webspace here.
 
Finally finished, thanks very much to all involved :D

You can get my final product here.

Let me know if you encounter any problems with it.

I'm off outside to enjoy the sunshine :D

[edit]

Damn one last problem. Whenever Samurize starts up with windows (from Startup folder), it always comes out as Always On Top, instead of Normal Window - Locked. Any ideas how to get around that?

Thanks,

Peter
