I did it and it didn’t work, or it doesn’t work, or the same errors. I tried two options in the skin. The first one gives the same errorsSimple example, based on the DOW code earlier - it's up to you to get the idea and implement the approach in your actual skin:Now, as you can see in the Rainmeter log, the above code will throw 2 TimeStampFormat errors on load / refresh, since the TimeStamp option of the [DOW] measure doesn't yet have a valid value until the [Date] measure retrieves it from the site and the [DOW] measure updates to reflect the change. However, if you do TimeStamp=#DummyDate# in the [DOW] measure and add FinishAction=[!SetOption DOW TimeStamp "[Date]"][!UpdateMeasure DOW][!UpdateMeter DOWText][!Redraw] to the [Date] measure, there will be no more such errors on load / refresh, because the value of the timestamp be a valid dummy date right from the start, being replaced with the actual date once the webparser retrieves it.Code:
[Variables]DummyDate=June 15, 2024[Rainmeter]Update=1000AccurateText=1DynamicWindowSize=1BackgroundMode=2SolidColor=0,255,0,255[Date]Measure=WebParserURL=https://time.is/en/UTCRegExp=(?siU)<div id="dd" .*>.*, (.*)</div>StringIndex=1UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36DynamicVariables=1[DOW]Measure=TimeTimeStampFormat=%B %d, %YTimeStamp=[Date]Format=%ADynamicVariables=1---Meters---[DOWText]Meter=StringMeasureName=DOWText=DOW: %1
So basically, you need to correct the TimeStamp option not having a valid value before it's set from the site. How to do it, is your choice, the above is just one way of approaching this. You could even write it directly as TimeStamp=June 15, 2024 (or whatever other valid value, according to whatever timestamp format you use) and not use a variable at all, as long as you set it to the actual value afterwards, from the FinishAction of the webparser parent (or whatever other measure is retrieving the actual date).
