Weather Module

[C_P]

Great mod! Ranked a 5 star. So far no issues... so far

Awesome, works like a champ!

once I get some things squared away with my site, *cough* PHP5 *cough* I will have to try this one out!

Can you set a default zipccode? My site is a local site, so I doubt many people would change from the default

You can pass a default zip code. You'd just need to put your default link in where the section is for users with no zip code in adv_portal_weather.

Replace this

PHP Code:

<else />
<A HREF="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile">Add Zip Code</A> to show weather conditions.
</if> 


with

PHP Code:

<else />
<a href="http://www.weatherroom.com/forecast/90120.html"><img src="http://www.weatherroom.com/weather?forecast=zone&hwvtc=black&hwvbg=E1E4F2&pands=90120&config=png&alt=hwivzone&daysonly=1" alt="Weather for 90120 provided by weatherroom.com." border="0"></a><br/>
<A HREF="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile">Add Zip Code</A> to show Your own weather conditions.
</if> 


and replace the 90210 (three times) with the zip you want to use.

The last link is still there in case someone doesn't like your default. You might not need the br/

IMPORTANT! Change all instances of $bbuserinfo[field5] to whatever your field number is. If it is number 10 change it to $bbuserinfo[field10]. If you forget this step it will not work!


how do i know which field it is? i don't understand?

[boo]

nvm ^^ i got know that...

but hw do you add

Stay in your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_weather".
Insert this code into the template:

where do i put it? where do i go

I installed this module perfectly but have to hide it later. It doesn't accept zip code from Japan. Is there an international version of this module? I see it only recognize US zip codes.

From Post #5 in this thread....

this works for non US sites also.

1) Go here: http://www.weatherroom.com/cgi-bin/...ass&pass=tafINT
2) Select your country and city
3) Click "display Forecast/Conditions"
4) Top right you will see this "ICAO Used:" followed by a code - Place this code in your zip code field and you will see your local international forecast.

Thanks for the tip, however the link displays error pages.

Are you sure? zip=RJTT



zip=RJOB



I think it works!

[ryuuchida]

This works in Japan, alright; I have it on my board. The only problem I have is that some names are just too long and mess up the layout. In particular, the "New Tokyo International Airport" which is 3 lines, is really ugly and hides the date. I wonder why the dates don't automatically move down?

[Bubbasmurf]

Thank you I was looking for somthing like this,
easy install.

[Trevelyn1015]

i added my zip code and it still won't open up any kind of weather stuff...

Hi there Trevelyn1015. You need to make a test account on your forum if you want help. Anyone who isn't logged in isn't going to see any kind of weather stuff. Also check to make sure you are referencing the right user $bbuserinfo[field#] or you won't get any weather. View the source and see if you see your zip code in the link. If it's not there, it's wrong.

Matt

If you install hamweather3 on your server, you can play with the icaos.txt file and rename them if you like, or mess with the templates and use a different font or layout.

No one ever optimized that file. If you think Tokyo aiport is bad, try this one:



inukjuak airport supplementary aviation weather reporting station, Canada
