Mass effect skin - main temp not displayed

[repo97]

I have figured out everything else, changed my city successfully and changed all Fs to Cs.

However I have one issue I cannot seem to fix. The main temperature does not show, only the "C" shows (beside the cloud picture). I know that the C is currently on an angle sideways and I have figured out how to change that as well, but the temperature still won't show. I have embedded a pic showing the settings for this section which I have tried some editing but nothing works.

I have tried uninstalling the skin and reinstalling it, and the temp still does not show even before I edit the skin.

Any help would be great, I really like this weather skin.

This skin is "scrapping" a web page to get information... that is totally unreliable way of doing things because the slightest code change will break the skin ... the page has changed coding, so the log is showing several errors when trying to read the info.

To get the current temperature, modify section [MeasureTF] regexp like this:

Code: Select all

[MeasureTF]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins/WebParser.dll
Url=#wURL1#
RegExp="(?siU)<span class=".*txt-xxlarge"><strong>(.*)</strong>.*"
UpdateRate=#UpdateRateSeconds#
StringIndex=1
 

Finally, remove all of the F's in the meters, the site will show imperial or metric temperatures depending on the city (you have no control).

Probably not everyone will agree with me, but I wouldn't use a such weird source of data. I still think weather.com is much - much better...

I agree!

This is a nice looking skin, but parses unreliable HTML to obtain info...
Correcting just the missing current temp was a minor change, but
I was tempted to not even offer a solution, because of the likelihood that tomorrow, it won't work!

Maybe someday I will mod it to use weather.com XML... maybe not

Yeah, probably using a xml is always the bets approach. Which ensure the skin to work on a longer term , too.

[repo97]

Thanks for your help I will make the changes and get back to you.

In the interim... Is there a better weather skin out there that's more reliable. I have seen so many so I figured I'd ask first.

As soon as i started removing the C from the temperature, the main weather icon disappeared. When I add back the C it still doesn't show any more. Not sure why.

Edit... it is showing again. Can't remove the C from the main temp or else the icon disappears. weird.
