SDK^ · 13 Apr 2003 at 23:42

Thanks to all the people that have helped me today.
My desktop so far - just got to sort out the weather thing then it's complete

Raymond Lin · 13 Apr 2003 at 23:45

Right, I haven't installed Samurized or coolmon yet, but where do I even start? I am TOTALLY clueless!

Lemmy · 13 Apr 2003 at 23:48

Raymond Lin · 14 Apr 2003 at 00:12

anyone know where to download Samruize Version 0.85 ?

Got the one from this size

http://www.samurize.com/misc.php?sid=download

but it doesn't have a installer !

Oddball · 14 Apr 2003 at 00:17

doesn't have an installer

just extract the files into a folder called samurize and then put a shortcut to the exe in startup, tis what I do anyway...

Good work everybody, nice to see some ideas being floated around,

A really useful URL which I gave to Sundance Kid is

'The Samurize Visual Tutorial'

http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/ldw/tutorial.html

This explains how it works fantastically (at least I think so anyway)

BrenOS - Is that your config from scratch or is it someone else's that you have modified. If its the latter then you the PerfMon will be set for the original computer, so it wont show yours correctly. You need to change/replace the counter with one for your machine.

Sundance Kid - Have you got the weather working yet?

You need to open up the RefreshWeatherPlus.vbs file, in there you can change the id (both of them!) to match your city.

Cheers
Rich

*edit*

Nice one Jake, isnt so hard after all is it

Jake · 14 Apr 2003 at 02:05

i'm gettin trouble with the UKTV script, some of the advertisements override into other channels displays, cos of the listings, but apart from that its lookin sweet

Raymond Lin · 14 Apr 2003 at 02:05

I've changed the City ID to

http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather.xml?id=VUtYWDAyMTU=

or just

VUtYWDAyMTU%3D

???

It's for brighton ?

Anyway, tried both and still not working.

Rich_L · 14 Apr 2003 at 02:16

Have you changed both of them?

Code:

Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next

Dim WEATHER_URL, fso, cacheFile, wasOld

const CITY_ID= "VUtYWDAwMjg%3D="                          'get your city id from [url]http://weather.interceptvector.com/list.php[/url]
const USE_CELSIUS= True                                'make it False if you want Fahrenheit
const SAMURIZE_DIRECTORY= "C:\Program Files\Samurize"  'change if different than yours

' --- DO NOT TOUCH THE CODE AFETR THAT POINT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ---

WEATHER_URL= "http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather.xml?id=VUtYWDAwMjg%3D" & CITY_ID

If (USE_CELSIUS=True) Then
  WEATHER_URL= WEATHER_URL & "&celsius=true"
End If

Change the const CITY_ID= to const CITY_ID="VUtYWDAyMTU%3D"

And also change
WEATHER_URL= "http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather.xml?id=VUtYWDAwMjg=" & CITY_ID

to

WEATHER_URL= "http://weather.interceptvector.com/weather.xml?id=VUtYWDAyMTU=" & CITY_ID

Ahhh

Also, remember to delete the xml file that is generated, then re-run the vbs file to generate a new xml file. You can check the contents of the cml file by loading it up in notepad to see whether the correct one has been generated.

Done that, still not working

even changed the path in the Weather Plus.vbs to my C:/programs folder/Samurize

How do I do that ? where is it?

Rich_L · 14 Apr 2003 at 02:26

The xml file is generated in the Samurize/Scripts directory its called

weather.cache.xml

Hopefully this should fix it as the rest appears to be perfectly correct!
