***************************************



About
-----

A plugin for Miranda IM which adds web pages as contacts to your contact list and can 
display text and/or changes within those pages in a window, as well as issue different types of
alerts when changes occur.

You need special status icons for this protocol, these icons are available here:
http://www.miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=1274
-------
WARNING
----------

On a large site (approx ~50kbytes) with "clean up display" option enabled the processor
may approach 100% until the tags are removed and text formatting is complete.
To minimise this only select a section of the web page to be displayed (the larger
the selection the longer it will take to remove the tags and format the text).


Installation:

Copy the dll file to your plugins folder like any other plugin, but if you want the ping fuction to work, copy psite.bat to the same folder as miranda32.exe

Features
--------
Creates contacts on your Contact list representing web pages. A dialog displaying
the text on that web page can be accessed through the contact menu of the contact
that represents that web page.

You can add more sites to the contact list using the Webview -> Add Contact
item on the Main menu.
You can update your Webview contacts all at once using the Webview -> Update All Webview
Sites item on the Main menu.
You can enable/disable timed updates of your contacts using the Webview -> Auto Update
Enabled item on the Main menu.

If you have the main menu items disabled and you have the TopToolbar plugin loaded Webview
will load three buttons on the toolbar for Adding contacts, updating all Webview site and
for enabling auto update.


There are various options which you can set from each individual site/Webview contact on your
contact list; you can set the name of the contact, the site URL,  start string, end string, logging
options, clean up of the display (removal of excess whitespace, tags and conversion of HTML
character codes to displayable characters), and the action to take when double clicking on a
contact (either open that site in a browser window or display site in the Webview data display
window). You can adjust all these settings from the Contact Options item on each contact menu.
The amount of white space removed can be set by the user for each contact.

There is also an option to "Display whole web page"; if you use this option then it will
display the whole web page in the data display window. 
If you use the option "Display between Start and End strings then you need to use
unique strings on the web page to set the part of the page you want to display.

The clean up display option stops tags being displayed in the data window.
It also removes extra white space to help tidy up the display. The amount
of white space removed can be set from options.

You can also set various alerts on a contact by contact basis. You can set an alert to be
issued if a certain string is present, if anything on the whole web page (or in the displayed 
portion of the web page) changes or you can have an alert issued only of a specific 
part of the web page changes.

You can also set the method by which you want to be alerted on a contact by contact basis.
You can set the alert to issue a popup using the PopUp plugin, open the data display
window, display the alert using the OSD plugin or log to file.



You can set the update interval, suppression of error messages, disabling of the main menu item
(hiding main menu item requires a reboot for changes to be seen), whether to update data on
Miranda startup, hiding/showing of the protocol icon on the status bar, updating data for a specfic
site when its data display window is opened and text/background color all from the main
Miranda Webview options. You can also set the text attributes. 
You can set an option to save the position of individual data display windows.

You can set the error messages to be displayed using the PopUp
plugin (or the OSD plugin if the Popup service isn't available).
If you don't select errors to be displayed with the Popup plugin (or the OSD plugin), or neither
the Popup or OSD plugins are loaded then the error is displayed using a balloon tip (if the OS
supports it).

When plugin is first installed the window updates once an hour.
The timer can be set in options, setting timer to 0 disables updates
( plugin will still do one update on start up even if timer=0).

The "Update Data" button on the data window will re-download date from the specific website
that data window uses.
The "Stick to the front" button on the data window will allow or stop the display window 
staying on top of other windows.
The "Find" button on the data window will allow you to find a word or phrase in the data
window.

You can copy, cut and delete text from the data display window as well
as copy all, select all and clear all text by a drop down menu
when you click with your right mouse key on the edit area of the data
display window.

The web page being available, down or lagging, server error returned or alert issued will all
change the status icon on the contact list for the specific contact that even happened to.
Online, offline, error and alert all have their own icon which can be set in Miranda's Icon 
options.

N/A status icon means the site is offline or lagging.
Away status icon means the server returned an error.
Online status icon means site is working normally.
Offline status icon means the protocol has been manually put offline.
Occupied status icon means an alert has been issued for that site.
DND status icon means plugin is downloading or processing data for that site.

You can set the sound to be used when there is an alert in the Sounds section of Miranda
Options.

In PopUp options you can set the popup time out, various options for selecting the color of the
popup and select left and right click options.

You can view the complete source code for a web page if you set the Contact Options 
to display the whole web page, untick Clean Up Display then update (download)
the data for that Webview contact.


*****
Here follow the essential settings you need to have 
right to get a result.
*****

There is an option in the contact options to put in the URL of the 
website you wish to display contents of.
Note: Netlib doesn't support redirection, make sure you dont use
plugin to monitor a site that does this because it will not work.

There are two search string options which are used to find data on the 
web page. The first is the Start string, this is a string or sequences of tags and words in the source
code of the web page where you wish to begin displaying data on your data window.
The second is the End string, this is a string or sequences of tags and words in the source code of
the web page where you wish to stop displaying data on your data window.
Note: To find these display strings you should know how to look at the source code of 
the web page you are looking at. If you don't wish to use a browser to go find out what the
source code looks the you can use the search strings like this:
Start:<html 
End:</html> 

or 
Start:<HTML
End:</HTML>

If you do not want to have to use start and end strings you can select the option
to display the whole site then the plugin will display the contents of the entire
web page.

There is a button to the Contact Options dialog to copy the display
Start and End strings to the alert Start and End strings and set
the event type to "Alert When A Specific Part of Web Page Changes".
