Can't make it work....

[pierrebed]

Hi Alex,
I'm sorry if I disturb. I have a lot of geeklets running on my desktop and I LOVE your GeekWeather2 but I'm UNABLE to make it run...
I'm a lambda user with absolutely no knowledge of programming but I usually can get these kinds of things. But here I can't
Let me tell you what I did:
I downloaded X code, CommandLine Tool, Homebrew, imagemagick, webkit2png, and the Geekweather2 folder on github.
Then I created a "image geeklet" and wrote "file://localhost/tmp/GeekWeather.png" int the URL field
Then I created a "shell geeklet" and I pasted "./geekWeather2.sh -A 40.410259 -O -74.035 -n AtlanticHighlands -d DARK -u SI -f Garamond -z 2" in the command field (without changing the parameters, just to see if it works)

But nothing happens. The script doesn't run (I suppose so because I see nothing in the image geeklet). I tried to paste the whole geekWeather2.sh in the command field but it doesn't echoes the stuff neither.

What is wrong? I suppose I have to enter an instruction to make the script run (a kind of "please run the script located here") but I have no idea... Or maybe the path to the script is wrong (I tried to enter the complete path but it doesn't work either)

I know I'm not very clever for these process but if you could help me I would be VERY gratefull...

Best regards.

Pierre

Hi, It's actually been a while since I worked on this, but I'm glad you like it. What version of OSX are you on? ./greekWeather2.sh is likely wrong, because that means run from the local directory, and I can't remember what Geektool sets as the working directory, The script itself will echo output to the screen when run directly from the terminal, but as a shell geeklet it'll be silent. It just uses Geektool as a scheduler to make it run often. Can you open up terminal, navigate to wherever the geekWeather2.sh script is, and then run it. Thanks, Alex

Thank you very much Alex for your answer.

When I run geekWeather2.sh from the terminal, it only echoes the options. It does the same if I copy the script in the "command" field of a shell geeklet.

Best regards and TANK YOU for your help.

Oops I closed the topic by mistake.

Sorry

It’s opened again

[pierrebed]

I got it

:o)

The path was the reason. I ran it from the "home" directory and it runs as expected.

But unfortunately something runs bad in the script itself. I join a screen capture here.

[alexwasserman]

ok, so, you need to edit the script, and change the http to https.

Yesssss.

It works. THANK YOU:

:o)

The only issue I have now is that I can't have it LIGHT. It displays DARK despite the -d LIGHT option.

Any idea?

Best regards.

Unfortunately I can't have the right colors that fits my wallpaper. The "Light" and "Dark" parameters apply only to the background but not to the content itself (in the foreground) that remains black.

In my context it is either invisible (black content on black or transparent background on black wallpaper) or much too obtrusive (a too big too heavy white form on my dark black wallpaper)

I would need the option to modify the content color (icon, text, ...) so I can have transparent background and white content.

But I think it's impossible.

I'm very sad about that.

Anyway I THANK YOU very much for your patience.

Best regards.

I think I did that once, not too crazy tough. It’s in that convert line.

I tried but it's far beyond my total lack of programming knowledge………

[alexwasserman]

I checked, it generates a transparent background png image.

Yes it does.
I would like a white foreground. I tried to insert a --js='document.fgColor="white";' on line 149 but nothing happens.
