weather.com data elements not showing

Post by scratch67 »

For the last few days my weather skin is not showing two data elements, flik and icon. I checked log and no errors. I tried another location and it fails on same data elements. I checked location code and it is correct. I ran webparser test skin, passed. I checked to make sure the StringIndex was correct for these two, yep.

I wanted to check the XML weather.com RSS feed to see if the sequencing changed. But I haven't found it on the web yet. Anybody know the link for this?

I hope I don't have to change to another RSS weather feed!

Please help.

I am using wxdata.weather.com. I changed it in 2016.

I used this link to check location ID:

http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/search/search?where=douglasville, georgia

I got this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<search ver="3.0">
<loc id="USGA0178" type="1">Douglasville, GA</loc>
</search>

Changed the skin to the USGA0178, same results.
Cheers,

For what I've seen, the flik and icon are missing in the xml file.
You have two options:
- wait some time/days and maybe they can come back, due to some hiccups on Weather.com site;
- change the code to use the <part p="d"> and/or <part p="n"> icons and not use the flik index.

Thanks, I was suspecting something changed in the XML file.

I've been trying to find the weather.com XML so I can review it, where is it?

Use this: http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/USGA0178?cc=*&unit=i&dayf=4

Depending the number of days forecast you use, change the last number.

See Debug info in the manual.

To see the info the WebParser receives, add Debug=2 to your main WebParser measure and refresh the skin. This will create WebParserDump.txt file.

To see the StringIndexes in the !Log, add Debug=1 and refresh.

Remove Debug=# from the measure afterwards.

Alternative: Right-click the webpage and select 'View source' ...

Add the Debug text to the Metadata section?

I don't have forecast in my skin, only current. The <part p="d"> and/or <part p="n"> are not in the current section of the XML file.
