conky-lua isn't working...

My lua script isn't working...

The simple Lua-File for getting started:

function rahmen()
local boxes_settings={
{},
}
end

My conkyrc

alignment top_middle
short_units
use_xft yes
xftfont Monospace:size=9
gap_y 5
xftalpha 0.8
update_interval 10
double_buffer yes
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_visual yes
lua_load ~/rahmen.lua
lua_draw_hook_post conky_rahmen
TEXT
.....

Conky is compiled correctly:

X11:
* Xdamage extension
* XDBE (double buffer extension)
* Xft
* ARGB visual
Music detection:
* MPD
* MOC
General:
* math
* hddtemp
* portmon
* Curl
* RSS
* wireless
* support for IBM/Lenovo notebooks
* config-output
* Imlib2
* apcupsd
* iostats
* ncurses
* Lua
Lua bindings:
* Cairo
* Imlib2

Whats wrong with my configs ?

Firstly you seem to have the names the wrong way around, conky_rahmen should be the function name and rahmen the value for lua_draw_hook_post

And I'll admit I have no experience with lua in conky (only tried it out for a couple of minutes the other day, my pc went crazy so I stopped), but I don't see boxes_settings doing anything...

In the file rahmen.lua, the function rahmen() would be conky_rahmen().
In the "lua_draw_hook_post conky_rahmen", the "conky_" part is optional. If it is not there, the conky will concatenate this prefix in the function name.

@ryuslash

The lua-script should draw a backround with 50% opacity on the conky window.

New extended lua script:

function conky_rahmen()
local boxes_settings={
corners={ {"circle",1}
{"circle",1}
{"circle",40}
{"circle",40}},
border=3
}
end

My source: http://u-scripts.blogspot.com/2011/01/b … et_27.html

I tried all combinations of conky_rahmen/rahmen() and lua_draw_hook_post (conky_)rahmen" but nothing works...

Interessting, conky now shows a error message regarding the lua script:

Conky: llua_do_call: function conky_rahmen execution failed: attempt to call a nil value

Does anyone has an ideo how to solve this problem ?
Is my lua script wrong ? Syntax sux ?

The lua-script should only draw a little border around the conky-line.

Should I use another code ?
Could the hidden lua file be a problem ?
