Samurize Scripts

Westwood · 15 Apr 2003 at 21:51

Man there are loads of posts in this thread! Do you guys know how to get Samurize to pick up if you have any new e-mails when not using hotmail (I use Outlook). Is it pretty much the same thing or not?

Oh and why can I see my external IP but not my internal?

Any ideas, cheers

You will then have a dropdown box with loads of options to do with your computer in them.

Select the ones you want and it should give the stuff you need.

any chance of a step by step guide plz this is all new to me

Cheeeeeeeeeeeers

Yep POP checking is very possible :-)

Try this

Though I havent personally tried this, so cant say how well it works.

Sounds good though

About the internal IP - dunno about this, havent tried as External IP works.

Cheers

*edit*

Rob, there should be a link a few pages back or so to a Samurize Visual Tutorial - this will tell you how to work the config etc.

*edit2* - Here it is

I just used the BBC news script off the Samurize site - works OK for me. What is (or isn't) it doing?

Rich_L · 15 Apr 2003 at 23:25

With regards to the BBC News script.

Remember you have to perform a writefile before any of it will work to grab the listings of the website.

Jake · 15 Apr 2003 at 23:39

did write file then added seperate headlines, no problemo

Finn · 15 Apr 2003 at 23:43

when i use it i get an invalid call to "Mid" or something like that?

and i did writefile first

Westwood · 15 Apr 2003 at 23:45

I get that msg too, your not alone! Does anyone know what we are doing wrong, or not doing at all?

click on "edit script" on the writefile script, a load of dodgy looking text will open, there will be a line right in the middle saying "URL=http://news.bbc.co.uk...blah blah blah.stm"

Replace that URL with this URL:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/register_audience?url=%2F&audience_name=Domestic&bandwidth=low&action=choose&inUK.x=39&inUK.y=15

Now it will work

while running samurize my cpu never drops below 25% useage, is this normal, seems to be hogging a lot of cpu time? Im running a P4 1.8Ghz

i am running a P4 3.5ghz, and it uses around 1.5% when running my config, which is quite complicated, so 25% seems a lot tbh unless you are running TONS of stuff

The error handling in the bbc news script is pretty poor (i.e. there isn't any...) which can cause a few errors if the html get times out, particularly when the script is run for the 1st time.

I'm making a few changes to add more error handling, and will post a link tomorrow with a revised version. I'm also doing the same for the external IP one, which gave me a few VBscript errors, as well as my BBC weather one.

watch this space....
