Hi,

I have a skin named "Neon Space", but I do not know if it's the same version. Let us admit. So in the version I own, you have to go into the weather skin and look for the [Variables] section. Below it is written "Zipcode". It is after the "=" that you must enter your code.

If it is the same version, the url must be changed. That of the skin is inscribed like this:

Code: Select all

URL=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/#Zipcode#?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6
It should be replaced by the following:

Code: Select all

URL=http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Zipcode#?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6

I hope this will help :welcome:.

I have the same problem but when I enter My "USCA0997" it just goes blank. I look for the indicated city code and it not listed
"ukxx????" using the find command.

Hi,

You can try to find another code here. But I just try your code and it works for me. Try to change the URl as I indicated.

Works perfectly for me: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, right now there are 28 degrees.
Have you refreshed your skin? If you haven't, refresh it. If doesn't work, please post the used code.

Hi balala, thanks for reply. Yes I did refresh many times, also quit and restart a few times. Still nothing happened.
There no code there, only zipcode:

Code: Select all

 Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/weather/local/#[b]Zipcode[/b]#?cc=*&unit=#....etc
I changed the zipcode to AEXX0004.

fyi, I am using neon space 2.3

Do not change 'ZIPCODE' in the skin code!!

Depending on which of the 6 weather skins you are using, there can be as many as 3 different webparser sections that read the data, each using the variable ZIPCODE value.

You need to change '@Resources\variables.inc' by modifying the ZIPCODE variable value in that file. Save and refresh.

Your code in the skins should be:

Code: Select all

Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/weather/local/#Zipcode#?cc=*&unit=#... etc.
The number at the end will be different depending on what day the author is trying to read...

All 6 skin work fine with ZIPCODE variable set to equal AEXX0004 in '@Resources\variables.inc' file.
