Url
Url can be a direct url to be downloaded and parsed. It can also be another WebParser-measure for indirect mode, in this situation just give the name of the measure in the Url, like this: Url=[MeasureSlashDot].RegExp
The regular expression used in parsing. The plugin uses Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, so check the Perl docs for syntax and more info.CodePage
Defines the codepage of the downloaded web page. Default value is 65001(UTF-8), you can check other Windows code pages from here. In indirect mode, this uses parent's codepage and this value would be ignored.StringIndex
Defines which string from the regexp this measure returns. If stringindex is empty, no any string be returned, BUT regexp would still finish the pasering, and you can still reuse the result by other measures.
In indirect mode, stringindex used for select result from parent measure, and use regexp to re-parse it if regexp specified. If stringindex is empty, it would re-parse original data from parent measure. If parent measure has no regexp, stringindex should not be specified.StringIndex2
The second string index used for indirect mode. This defines which string from re-parsed result returns. If in direct mode or regexp is empty, this value would be ignored.ErrorString
String that is returned in case there is a parse error. You can give an error message or a image path returned when error occur.Download
If set to 1, the Url is downloaded to a temporary folder and the name to the file is returned as string value. The measure can be bound to a IMAGE meter to download images from web and show them.
If StringIndex or StringIndex2 set, it would use the result as a link to the downloaded image. If link is a relative path, it can automatic trace to top parent's url, and correct to absolute path for download.
All downloaded files are placed in %TEMP%\Rainmeter-Cache folder, and they would remove automatically whlie changed or skin closed.Proxy
Name of the proxy server. The plugin doesn't support any authentication so it's possible to use only servers that does not require it or you need a some different way to authenticate yourself to the proxy server.
If Proxy is empty, this would use the proxy setting in IE browser. In indirect mode, this value wouldn't inherit from parent measure.UpdateRate
The rate how often the webpage is downloaded. This is relative to the config's main update rate. It is advisable to limit the rate so that you're not flooding the server with constant requests. The web server admins will not like it and you probably get banned from the server altogether if you try to poll the server too often. So, if the main update rate is 1000 (i.e. one second, which is the default) set this e.g. to 60 to read the webpage once per minute.Debug
Set this to 1 and the log file will contain some useful debug information. Value 2 dumps the downloaded webpage to %TEMP%\Rainmeter-Cache\WebParserDump.txt. This can be useful since some web servers send different information depending which client requests it. Remember to remove this from your config once you have it working correctly.FinishAction
Action that is executed when the page has been downloaded and the parsing is done. Because plugin cannot bound with skin in internal action, you SHOULD add #SkinName# for each action if it effect on skin,
like these: FinishAction=!RainmeterRedraw #SkinName#, FinishAction=!execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterName #SkinName#]
