Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=10
URL=http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=23418210&u=f
RegExp=(?siU)<link.*>(.*)</link>.*city=\"(.*)\".*chill=\"(.*)\".*direction=\"(.*)\".*speed=\"(.*)\".*humidity=\"(.*)\".*visibility=\"(.*)\".*pressure=\"(.*)\".*sunrise=\"(.*)\".*sunset=\"(.*)\".*<image>.*<url>(.*)</url>.*<title>.*:.*m .*(.*)</title>.*lat>(.*)<.*long>(.*)<.*yweather:condition.*text=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*temp=\"(.*)\".*yweather:forecast.*day=\"(.*)\".*low=\"(.*)\".*high=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*yweather:forecast.*day=\"(.*)\".*high=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*

The change is entirely in

Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=CAXX0184&u=c

There are two changes:


First, the URL should start with

http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/

instead of
http://weather.yahooapis.com/


Second, and this is optional really, Yahoo is moving away from the old style ?p=LocationCode to ?w=WOEID format for specifying your location.

You can get your WOEID from: http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/

Just change the ?p in the URL to ?w instead, and use the WOEID you got.

When I make those changes to that skin, using my WOEID and "f" for "Fahrenheit", it works fine for me.

P.S. ABSOLUTELY you MUST change UpdateRate=10. That is hitting the weather site every 10 seconds, and that is just stupid. Not only is that using a ton of your internet and CPU resources, but you may well be seen as an attack by the site and blocked entirely. Change that to UpdateRate=600, which is every 10 minutes. Yahoo weather only updates the feed on their end every 10 minutes anyway, and hitting any more often than that is just idiotic.

There is no URL on my skin.

There is no URL on my skin.

Yes there is. It is probably buried in some .inc file that the skin(s) use. I have no interest in messing with Enigma, it is just far too pointlessly complicated to be bothered with, and is virtually unsupportable. You are just going to have to dig around in the .inc files included with it and find the URL option.

Edit:

Ok, it's in "C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Enigma\@Resources\Measures\YahooWeather.inc"

and looks like this:

Fix it the same way I have already explained in this thread.

Thank you! it works.

Excellent. Now if only one could change Google Calendar.

I changed the file to look like this, but it didn't fix anything.

Sorry. Works for me. You sure you saved and refreshed Rainmeter? Try restarting Rainmeter.

This code works... if you haven't changed anything else.

All I changed is the 'URL=' value, but you should be able to copy the entire measure and replace it in your 'Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Enigma\@Resources\Measures\YahooWeather.inc' skin.

What values are you using for #CurrentCode# and #Unit#?

[jckinncik]

I did edit the skin from the manage section of Rainmeter when I was trying to get it to work early on. I changed the shaded part below to weather.yahoo.com, but I'm not sure what it originally was to begin with. Is there any way to revert just the weather.ini back to default without having to revert the whole Enigma skin?
