This skin is very old and it uses Yahoo Weather and as such, although mak_kawa said in an earlier post that it is still working, I couldn't figure out how can it be made to properly work. So, probably the code of the skin should be completely rewritten, to make it to work.

About the Enigma Weather, it also used Yahoo Weather. A while ago I (partially) rewrote it, to make it to use the Weather.com.
So, I think the only thing which should be done is to replace the code of the YahooWeather.inc file (within the @Resources\Measures folder), with the following one:

Code: Select all

; LOGO
; Yahoo! Weather requires that any application which uses their API include the Y!W logo and a link to their website. This section will automatically insert those elements into any skin which uses this measure module. Please do not remove these elements if you are redistributing this file with your own skin.

Check the LocationCode and Unit variables. The first is your location code, which can be found here: https://weather.codes/
The Unit can be either m (metric - temperatures in Celsius degrees), or i (imperial - temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees). These variables are located into the @Resources\User\Options.inc file, you should replace them there.

Thank you very much for revising Enigma Weather to use Weather.com, it works perfectly! Yahoo recently ended their weather API so it is great to be able to switch to Weather.com.

Yes, Yahoo Weather in the meantime indeed hanged up. Some other users (I'm thinking about eclectic-tech right now) also rewrote Enigma Weather: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30807#p157183. Review his reply too, especially that it's newer then my one and a half year old post.

@ balala
I didn't realize you had posted this a year ago, when I posted my recent corrections. If I had known I would have definitely pointed to this post for the correction. :confused:

I did add a few other "tweaks" to Enigma's related skins, but this post will help get the weather working. Either method is going to get the skin working. Nicely done! :thumbup:

Don't worry, it's a good thing you've posted your own solution, this way sierratango can choose the solution he likes more.

I've been using this skin for several years: https://www.deviantart.com/lilshizzy/art/Rainmeter-Encoded-v1-2-3-215992941
Several times the weather widget has stopped working and one way or another I've managed to find some solution somewhere.
But this time around it seems to have stopped working again as of a few weeks ago and I can't seem to find anything to fix it.

I'm not very experienced with how the coding in Rainmeter works, I've usually just found solutions that tell me what to copy-paste into the code and that's generally gotten me by so far.

I was skimming through this entire thread as it's the first I had seen/heard of the issues of the Yahoo Weather API in detail but seeing as it spans over 3 years, I'm having difficulty keeping up with what is no longer valid anymore, etc.

Below is the frankensteinian mess of code I've put together trying out a couple solutions I saw in this thread. At the moment while I've gotten the widget to at least do something instead of nothing, all it does is display the temperature, and in a different font, which isn't a problem for me really, but I just noticed it

You had some old code that should be removed and I updated [MeasureWeatherRSS] and StringIndexes for meters.

I remove deprecated code (!Execute and !Rainmeter...) I also changed the temp link to take you to "https://weather.com".
Your sizes are different from the original version I have, but that should not prevent you from modifying the other 19 weather skins using the updated [MeasureWeatherRSS] and the updated StringIndex numbers.

Aside: These skins use 'LocalFonts' which is deprecated, see this link for more info: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/skins/rainmeter-section/#LocalFont
