Again problems with FFCal? The new URL still works but examination of FFcal.xml is wrong.

Anyone with same problems?

[Stormin_Norman]

yeah, wish they keep their formatting constant.

Simply copy and overwrite the following lines with this code:

string sTags[7] = { "<title>", "<country>", "<date><![CDATA[", "<time><![CDATA[", "<impact><![CDATA[", "<forecast><![CDATA[", "<previous><![CDATA[" };

string eTags[7] = { "</title>", "</country>", "]]></date>", "]]></time>", "]]></impact>", "]]></forecast>", "]]></previous>" };

 

It should work fine after this change. Hopefully FF doesn't change its xml tags often in the future. It's a big nuisance.

Thanks, works fine

It's an indicator not an expert. Post in Indicators Section.

This version doesn't seem to be working either. This is the error:

"Web page download was not complete!"

"empty string parameter for FileWriteString function" // i.e. file name is empty "".

 

The new URL is still valid:

http://www.forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml

 

And the XML tags seem to be unchanged also. :( Perhaps it's just me. Can anyone confirm the updated version is still working?

New to this indicator...

Can someone explain how the below function is used?

 

extern bool IsEA_Call = false;

 

When does this need to set = true?

I am using this indicator for EA. So, just copy this to indicator folder is good enough with default settings?

 

Appreciate someone can reply to this post. Thanks,

Hi prattpot

 

This works fine except that it does't provide for a time change option like the previous one when daylight saving comes into play like over the weekend. Can you please incorporate that.

 

Thanks a lot pal.
