World Issue with Locations

Post by Gorefiend »

I'll start off by saying that I'm relatively new to this whole thing and this is my first time using Rainmeter. I'm using Windows 7 and have the latest version of Rainmeter. I'm having issues with getting the correct time and location.

I changed this line, Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=#World1WeatherCode#&u=#Unit# to Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=4048&u=c but it seems to not give me the correct information. It remains as London, UK even though the location is supposed to be Guelph, Ontario. I had read that some of the locations are having issues with getting the correct times, so I offset the time by changing Formula=(#World1DSTOffset# + MeasureTimeZone) to Formula=(-6 + MeasureTimeZone). This gave me the correct time but it still didn't display the area which this time was for.

I searched through other threads and couldn't find anything related to my issue. I tried numerous areas as well to see if it was just the one area I was using, but it seems to not work for any code that I put in.

Edit: Nevermind, I finally found out. The current Rainmeter still uses 'p=' instead of 'w=' on the weather coding line. I just had to update that change and it worked out.
