Help with weather skin

Post by n4tur3502 »

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me get the weather widget thing for the skin https://visualskins.com/skin/technology-wave To work? When I try to get my weather code Kentucky isnt available. Also the weather url they are using doesnt work any more. Is there any way I can get this to work with another weather service or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately the skin uses weather.com as weather provider, but this has been deprecated more than a year ago (more precisely on 01/15/2020, as you can see if you open the URL used by the skin, in its [MeasureWeather] measure). Although it can be rewritten to use another provider, it's not an easy (nor quick) task, especially not for a beginner (which I suppose you are). Instead of rewriting it, recomment to go to the Weather section of the Share Your Creations of this forum and choose a new weather skin (there are dozens of them).
Sorry...
