[Noob Friendly Guide] How to get HTC Style Clock/Weather Widget on N900 - Page 5 - maemo.org

Alfred | # 41 | 2011-04-26, 13:01 | Report

Hello Guys,
I've been doing a weather LockScreen. So this is as far i have it right now. I have a script, which takes care of all stuff using imagemagick. But i can't figure out which strings pulls the CURRENT temparature. As you can see, i can get the lowest and the highest for today. Any help would be appreciated.
And btw, does anybody know how to set -gravity with coordinates, not South,West,SouthWest and so on??

Edit: just to make clear, what i mean under a "string". Here is the one, which pulls the lowest Temp:

Code:

echo `grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/imagemagick/ywtemp.htm | grep -o Low[:].[-0-9][-0-9]*`°C

Below is the entire script that the yahoo weather beecon uses, that displays high, low and current temperature. Somewhere in there is the string that you are after. I am not sure where so I pasted the whole thing. I hope this helps:

No problem, with this script does your weather seem to be updating? Mine was, but has stopped today for some reason and I can't explain why

Alfred | # 45 | 2011-04-26, 14:27 | Report

I got it!!!
Here is the code:

Code:

echo `grep 'forecast-icon.*http.*png' /home/user/imagemagick/ywtemp.htm  | grep -o yw-temp..[-0-9]\\* | grep -o temp..[-0-9]* | grep -o [-0-9][-0-9]*`°C| \

I didn't work before, gotta be some mispelling or smth.
Yes it does update, and actually with this code even better than with the yahoo QBW, With QBW it showed the wrong current temp, like the website does(yahoo). But now everything works great!

S****. You are not going to believe that. I wanted to make a screenshot for you. So i ran a script again with new size font now, and it showed the wrong Current Temp... SHOOOOOOT.
See the first one is with right temp 19C
second is what the website shows...

Is it possible to create .deb for it,if possible please create will be helpful to noobs like me..or any program that will do all this process automatically like web os game manager..

Alfred | # 49 | 2011-04-26, 15:36 | Report

There is a script, that will do everything automatically. Moreover, you can let Alarmed execute it any time you want to. You will just need to have imagemagick installed and then Alarmed set to execute this script any time.
