+TresOkies Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Here is a trick for those of you who use Plucker to put cache data on your Palm. It doesn't require being a programmer, but you do need to be comfortable tweaking things. I won't editorialize but I don't care for background images on cache pages and I want to remove them from my Plucker pages. I still want regular inline images. If you would like to remove background images from your Plucker pages, try the following steps. Keep in mind that I'm not a Python programmer. In fact, this was the first time I've ever opened a Python file, but it wasn't overly difficult to decode. Make sure you are using Plucker 1.6. Make a backup of the file named TextParser.py in case things go badly. Open the file named TextParser.py using whatever text editor you wish to use. On Windows, this file is probably in C:\Program Files\Plucker\parser\python\PyPlucker. Go to line 1308 (or thereabout). About 2/3 of the way into the file. Look for 'def start_body'. Make the lines look like those below. My additions are the two lines between the words '# HERE' Save the file. Run Plucker Desktop and update your cache channel(s). def start_body (self, attributes): attributes = _list_to_dict (attributes) # Place the rgb value of <body>'s 'link' into our global variable for coloring anchors if attributes.has_key ('link'): rgb = string.lower (attributes['link']) self._anchor_forecolor = rgb # HERE if attributes.has_key ('background'): del attributes['background'] # HERE # Append rgb value of <body>'s 'text' into our regular forecolor stack. I make no warranties that this code is correct, but it seems to work for me. Enjoy -E Quote Link to comment
