The one from packal doesn't work, but this one works. Thank you!

That link doesn't work for me (for years now).

Thanks for this!

 

Really great.

Given that the php here is basically a front-end for curl , could this be easily rewritten in a language that will ship with Monterey?

In bash:

curl -sfL -F v=3.6 -F "q=$1" http://units.dnsu.ch/units/server/alfred
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
	echo '{"items": [{"title": "Units is unavailable", "subtitle": "sorry..", "icon": {"path": "Icons/error.png"}}]}'
fi

Thanks again @deanishe, that works great and my workflows are now php-free!  Now I just need to go to work on Python 2.x....

First of: I have no background in programming or scripting, so lots of the posts that I have been reading concerning Alfred+Monterey (and php) are hard to understand.

Many of the workflows I use stopped working since upgrading to Apple Silicon and Monterey, this units workflow being one of them.

 

Seeing that there is a solution to make this workflow run again makes me jolly but I don't understand where or how to save this script in order for the workflow to run.

 

Any help, gladly also via PM, would be very much appreciated!

 

Best,

Tony

It's a bash replacement for the main Script Filter in the workflow.

 

I wouldn't bother, though, tbh: You'll probably need to install PHP to fix other workflows, anyway. https://brew.sh/

Hi! I've been trying to get this to work on my macOS Monterey Alfred 5, and get a "Units Fail" error message. Attached. Any thoughts?

Would there by any way to add a military time (24-hour clock) to standard time (12-hour clock) converter and vice versa?
