Designlink possible with Farnell (Europe) ordercodes?

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for the response. I tried your suggestion but exactly the same error pops up. Is it normal that, even with DILanguage set to "BE", Eagle still tries to contact api.element14.com?

I tried to set DICountry also to BE, but the same problem remains. (I restarted EAGLE when I modified the configuration file.

Any other suggestions? As a reference, I uploaded the file as it is now to here: www.jensvanhoof.be/designlink-inc.ulp

Thanks!

Jens,

I am experiencing the same problem you have. I got the script to recognize the correct country by copying the 3 designlink ULP files to a separate folder, then making the change to desiglink-inc.ulp

DIcountry = "BE";

(Note, making the change to 'language' does not seem to work).

Then run the script designlink-order.ulp from the folder you copied the scripts to. The script then at least tries to connect to the service defined for Belgium. I verified this by adding a debug print statement in the designlink-inc.ulp InitCountryData function.

Unfortunately I then get an error:

Error while accessing 'https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService':

299 Error downloading https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService?callinfo.apiKey=<snip> - server replied: Bad Request

<h1>Bad Request</h1>

So apparently this functionality is broken for Belgium. You can get it partially working by changing the DIcountry to "UK", note that you get price in pounds then but at least the order codes seem to be correct.

@jorge can you please check why designlink is not working for country code "BE"? I guess there is some configuration on the API server that does not allow request with the country code "BE".

Kind regards,

Lieven.

A follow-up: when I change the country information line of 'UK' to

   "UK EUR 0 be.farnell.com",

and set DIcountry = "UK"

Then the designlink process seems to work.

Hi Lieven,

Can you post your designlink-inc.ulp for Belgium ?

I modified it according you suggestion but It doesnt work for me

many thanks in advance

Hello Jean-Luc,

you can find it here: https://gist.github.com/hollie/bc057d8c9ea3805e4f87.

Note however: I tried the modified script on another computer with another locale (and another OS) and it was not working there. So I'm not sure it will help you further. I did not debug it further. It would be cool if element14 people would have a look at this to fix it for everybody. Maybe ins tread of guessing the URL/server and currency from the system settings they could give users an option to select the settings before running the script?

Best regards,

Lieven.

Hi Lieven

Many thanks

When I run the script I have dialog saying :

Can't open '/Applications/EAGLE-6.5.0/fdlQuery.html'

Permission denied

I have created the file and also file:///Applications/EAGLE-6.5.0/fdlResponse.html

so now the script runs but I have the same error as usual

Error while accessing 'https://api.element14.com/pffind/services/SearchService':

<h1>Bad Request</h1>
