Weather Skin:Tenth Day Missing

[jsmorley]

Looking really good!

I think I may have gone into too much detail in my post... Clearly you "get this" just fine. Nice work. Looks as good or better than the one I use

Oh no. Your detailed explanation was right on. I may "get it" but now I will "understand it".

jsmorley, if you're still around I have another weather skin question.

Can I retrieve and display weather alerts and if so, can you give me the code? Actually all I need is to know there is an alert and I can click the alert message to go to weather.com to view it.

If there is a weather alert, there will be a section like this in the feed:

Code: Select all

<swa>
    <a id="656518" uc="1">
      <t>Winter Weather Advisory until Sat Jan 21 2012 01:00 PM EST</t>
      <l>http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/22033?phenomena=WW&significance=Y&areaid=VAZ053&office=KLWX&etn=0006</l>
    </a>
  </swa>

You just need to either add parsing for this to your RegExp on your main WebParser measure (I suspect you will need a "look ahead assertion" as if there is no alert the section isn't there at all) or create a second WebParser measure that just goes after this information then displays it any way you want. The link is included and can be parsed to use with a LeftMouseUpAction.

Thanks a heap. I think I can take it from here.

Help again.

Any idea why my weather skin again stopped working?

Here is what I've found out so far.
1. My skin is getting errors, see ERRORS attachment.
2. The simple skin example you originally gave me doesn't work anymore either.
3. When I use the RainRegExp application you gave me everything shows up ok, see TOOL attachment.

I don't know where to go from here?

Look in your code? The Error says Rainmeter is looking in "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins\Plugins/WebParser.dll" for the Webparser.dll - should be looking in "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins\WebParser.dll"

Never saw that but when I fixed it, it still doesn't work see atch ERROR2.

Looks like there is a connection problem to the website. Can you open 'weather.com' in your browser?
If that works, then the problem might be with WebParser.dll. Sometimes it hangs up and needs to be restarted. Shut down Rainmeter, then restart it.

Hopefully that fixes it.
