My Daily Comics Plugin (2 Viewers)

[Aduck]

Hi, I'm having trouble adding this strip:
http://politiken.dk/wm

I tried this XML:

    <comic id="1">
      <name>Wulffmorgenthaler</name>
      <url>http://politiken.dk/wm/</url>
      <enabled>1</enabled>
      <language>eng</language>
      <startswith>[url]http://politiken.dk/archive/00224/wulff_[/url][dd]_[MM]_[YYYY]</startswith>
      <endswith></endswith>
      <banner>http://www.wulffmorgenthaler.com/pics/wallpaper/thumbnail/00005_leonard.jpg</banner>
    </comic>

What's wrong here?

Kind regards
Anders

Hi Aduck

I'm sorry, the structure of your comic strip is not supported. the picture url does contain a date, but in addition there's also a random part.

http://politiken.dk/archive/00225/wulff_18_12_2007_co_225110a.gif


also the page url's are random:

http://politiken.dk/wm/article446763.ece

So unfortunately there's nothing you can do

Cheers,
TimmyT

Hi,
Well if you access the URL http://politiken.dk/wm/ then you will get the daily strip (without random).
If the startwith-tag works and it uses the date-formating, then it should be possible to find the strip, eg.:

http://politiken.dk/archive/00225/wulff_18_12_2007_co_225110a.gif
would be possible to find by
<startwith>http://politiken.dk/archive/00225/wulff_[dd]_[MM]_[yyyy]_co_</startwith>
<endwith>.gif</endwith>
My thought is that the part between startwith and endwith is wildcard. If that's not the case, then maybe you could make it possible to make a wildcard thing á la [*]?
Then it could be like this:
<startwith>http://politiken.dk/archive/00225/wulff_[dd]_[MM]_[yyyy]_co_[*]</startwith>
<endwith>.gif</endwith>

Please please please

Best regards
Anders

Hi there,
I've found some time today to look into this plugin again... so I've released v 0.1.2. check out the first post for the download link.

Aduck: I've managed to get your comic strip working, but only the today's strip.
Anthrax: NICHTLUSTIG has been "reanimated", check it out
MatthewJ: I'm sorry, I couldn't get your XKCD comic to work. My assumption that PNG's should work was wrong, they don't...
DogBoy1169: Girls with Slingshots added, but only the today's strip works.
lillis_55: added your two strips Rocky and Hälge

have fun,
TimmyT

Thanks TimmyT!
That's just great, can't wait till I get home and try it out

You're the man!

Best regards
Anders

Hi, is this great plugin supported in 1.0 final version? Thanks

 

[joz]

I would say try it out but i guess not. Never had gotten this working really.
Development started almost 2 years back and the last post before yours is a year old...

 

[TimmyT]

I haven't updated to 1.0 yet, that's why I haven't released an updated version. But I'm planning to do so in the next couple of days. So I will release an update soon...

Thanks I'd actually appreciate this future.
Should check this version out once again, I will

I really like MyComics too and look forward to a MP 1.0 update!
