interactive weather

mrpeachy · 2012-02-25 00:58:39

what you need

v9000 archive, unzipped and distributed according to the readme
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … a-scripts/

xdotool, the repos can have an old copy, my version is

xdotool version 2.20110530.1

here are the deb files i used to get xdotool up and running
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/183389/#p183389

These xdo debs are needed for amd64 architecture.
xdotool_2.20110530.1-1_x86_64.deb
libxdo2_2.20110530.1-1_x86_64.deb

you can get those here
http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/d … nloadCount

also xwininfo is not one of #! default packages
so you will need to install that too

so that xdotool and xwininfo can get the right information
you need to add this line to your conkyrc

own_window_title conky_weather

the weather.interactive.lua template

works like this:

http://youtu.be/bnLjaVPU_Ds

this is an interactive template script that works alongside v9000.lua

no changes to v9000.lua or .v9000_config.lua are required (apart from initial setup of the config of course)

here is the template
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/weathe … lua.tar.gz

get the v9000 archive from the weather in conky thread and follow the readme to get it working

put this template into the v9000 folder then edit conky_weather to point to "weather_interactive.lua" instead of "weather_testing.lua"

you need xdotool installed and xwininfo (which you most likely have)

everything open on my eeepc, i get cpu at 4% when all closed down 1%
the less you see the lower the % smile

once working you can delete the print commands you put into the template

try these files
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/v9000% … 000.tar.gz

these are the ones i am running successfully
small chance it will fix it, but you never know...

For some reason.. A fresh reboot (which I should have done earlier after I installed xdotool) Your masterpiece popped up in all its glory!!

mrpeachy · 2012-02-25 02:28:52

yay!

falldown · 2012-02-25 02:42:58

I do believe that xdotool version 2.20110530.1 is a must. The repo version is outdated.

falldown · 2012-02-25 16:25:57

My better half said that your interactive weather is "very sexy".
I'm jealous cause when I show her my conky configurations I get a kiss on the cheek and a "you are so nerdy baby" big_smile

Could this be the problem?
Try this

own_window_title conky_weather

instead of

own_window_title Interactive v9000

OR

In weather_interactive.lua line 238 has

local f = io.popen("xwininfo -name 'conky_weather' | grep 'Absolute'")

you could change this to reflect your conky

local f = io.popen("xwininfo -name 'interactive v9000' | grep 'Absolute'")

@ sector11, i know youve had problems with putting things into tmp

in the template towards the bottom
lines 259 269 and 273

youll find where the script is writing and reading from /tmp/xdo

you can create a folder somewhere else and point those lines to it instead of tmp

I moved mine back to /tmp/xdo earlier today MrPeachy.. Just to narrow down the cause of the error message. I think it was the wrong version of xdotool.

It's running perfect and coping to my xdo.

Not to doubt you but where is this documented?
All I saw was:

this is an interactive template script that works alongside v9000.lua
no changes to v9000.lua or .v9000_config.lua are required (apart from initial setup of the config of course)
here is the template
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19008369/weathe … lua.tar.gz
get the v9000 archive from the weather in conky thread and follow the readme to get it working
put this template into the v9000 folder then edit conky_weather to point to "weather_interactive.lua" instead of "weather_testing.lua"

{grumble grumble} I'll make changes...

Yea, I'll try the other fix by falldown with the own_window_title first big_smile

No sir, falldown, you're a stand-up guy and dead right.

Thank you, but I was just passing on the info that MrPeachy gave me yesterday as we were getting it up and running on my machine.
It is a beautiful piece of script!! And the uses for the interactive.lua is limitless!

^^^^ @ falldown and mrprachy....

With falldow's ingenuity, mrpeachy's genius and my ability to really foul things up we make a good team.

Been like that since I was a kid - rip things apart to see how they work, always had a few pieces left over when putting them back. Sometimes they would even work missing parts.

falldown · 2012-02-26 23:10:48

Did some tweaking today and wanted to get some feedback. Here are the images... just too many and didn't want to clutter up this thread. I am still playing around with the fonts and color.

MrPeachy.. How would I get the "#" DAY button to only display after the previous has been clicked?

you would have to put the button inside the control of the previous

2daybutton

if 2daybutton==on then
-show 2 day forecast
-display 4daybutton
     if 4daybutton==on then
     -show next 2 days
     -display 6daybutton
             if 6daybutton==on then
             -show next 2 days
etc

another way to do it, which i have found making multiple buttons easier to manage

function main()
button1
if button1==on then
button1function()
end
end--of main function

button1function()
all the stuff that button 1 controls
end--of button1function

Thank you! I wanted to play around with it yesterday, but had too much other stuff to do. I'm trying to add a function that will only display another option once the previous button has been clicked.

I don't want to bother MrPeachy too much on the weekend!! big_smile That and he gave me all the info I need.. I'm just trying to get the placement right.. almost there!

Ok MrPeachy.. I'm stuck.
2 day button displays after clicking the weather button.
step one complete.
4 day button displays after clicking the 2 day button + the 2 day forecast.
step two complete.
6 day button dispalys after clicking the 4 day button + the 4 day forecast, but the 4 day button disappears.
same thing with the 6 day and 8 day button after clicking they disappear.

this is what I have written in so far.

I think its the end functions, but if I remove them then I get a "?" (nil value) error.
Maybe I am placing them in the wrong area.
