Local weather

[tomc28]

Hi. This is the first time I've ever added a Module. It was very easy, thanks to your detailed instructions THANK YOU!

One thing which I had to read and re-read these posts before I understood was that I needed to CHANGE the [FIELDX] to lower case. [field7] (I'm using 3.7.1)

This solved everything...THANKS AGAIN!
--------------------
I'm sorry if you may've answered this already, but how can I update the code to include more than just the Temperature and small pic of cloud/clear/rain? Can we get a 5-day forecast, humidity, wind, barometer?

You had mentioned this "Widget". Have you and/or anyone used this Widget within vBadvanced?? Would you be willing to share the code and/or implementation instructions for a novice

The options you see in my first post are the only options this widget offers, sorry.

It's very much doable, but compared to the accuweather's widget a little more complicated, and I can only see a lot of headache coming my way if I try to implement it. I have gotten a lot of request for help with this one, and this one is simple. Since I published this code I have had an addition to my family (he's 16 months old now) and I simply don't have the time or energy to dedicate to this. Sorry ...

I'm sure though, that if you submerge yourself into this you'll be able to figure it out, just read my code slowly and you'll see what it does. Then you'll just have to change one or two lines to make it work for you. Good luck ;-)

My default weather is set to London, UK. Location in my user account is Berlin, Germany, and it works flawlessly when I log in and out.

One thing I suggest you do, Lombardo, is make the words FIELD5 in your code lowercase (field5). On some servers it matters, yours may be one of them.

Also, what board version are you running? I wrote this originally for 3.5, my test board is 3.6 and it works on both. I bet the problem is in the upper/lower case.

Let me know and post your template again if you still have a trouble.

I don't know who Lombardo is, but this was my fix.... I run Apache on RedHat 5.2 just for the sake of giving stupid info.

Thanks

Works great with vb3.8

i installed it and its working but the module does not show like your attachments. Its just a little module with the temp and a cloud/sun. What am i doing wrong your attachments have radars, winds, etc

You need to re-read the instructions and pay special attention to the OPTIONAL MODIFICATION.

Changing the size=5 parameter to a different number will get you your results. Make sure the word "size" stays lower case. Let me know if you resolved it.

Too easy; still looking at customisation - thanks theczech for this great template module!

You're welcome. And thank you for your contribution.

Is there a 4.0 version of this?
I used to have this one, and really liked it, but it stopped working when we upgraded to the latest version of CMPS

[Chimpie]

It appears that this module has stopped working. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it back up and running again? All the data is blank.
