weather help

Post by Tarhee »

i have looked though a lot of weather threads (im sure this has been covered 100's of times but i cant find it) but i cant figure out how do set the weather code.

"[Variables]
;Find your weather code at Weather.com (like UKXX0296 below) and replace the one in this URL.
;To have the temperature display in Farenheit, delete "&unit=m" from the URL.
URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/23424680?cc=*=m&dayf=6
Font=rockwell"

URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/USCA0364?cc=*=m&dayf=6
Font=rockwell"

i have tried both those and nothing is working. sorry again for the noob question and thanks for your help

change "xoap" in the URL to "xml".

Please search next time. There are several topics already made for this exact issue.

Did you refresh the skin after changing the URL?

This is what I am using:

URL=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/MyZipcode?cc=*&dayf=6

It looks like you need to remove th "=m" from "cc=*=m". I don't know what your code is, but in the U.S it would simply be your zip code. I hope this helps.

And don't forget to refresh the skin, as Alex2539 reminded. Right-click/Refresh All, or, right-click/Skin Menu/Refresh Skin.

Well, I'm sorry it's still not working. Unfortunately, I can't think of any thing else to try. If you enter the URL into your web browser, you should see the XML source. Webparser.dll parses that source according to the regular expression (RegExp). I hope you get it working. Maybe someone else will have better suggestions.
