Help Needed! Can't get weather on elegance skin

[crackajackkoutras]

Hi I am extremely new to rainmeter and I must say that i enjoy it very much. However, I cannot seem to get my weather working for the elegance skin. I think I have the correct weather code for San Antonio and i made a tweek to the RegEXP because apparently it was out of order. I will provide my code below so that someone can see what needs to be changed. Thank You!

The first thing i would try is to change the weather-url according to jsmorleys post(s) here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=23010

short: instead of URL=http://weather.yahooapis.com/... code URL=http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/...

but i really recommend to read through the posts in the topic i posted above.

You can find the WOEID code needed for this at: http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/

Open the skin in your editor and add the 2 new variables to the current [Variables] section of the skin.

Code: Select all

WeatherCode=2450855
WeatherUnit=F

Replace the WeatherCode variable with the lookup WOEID you got from the site above.

Finally, replace the 3 measures (identical section names) below, save the file , and Refresh the skin.

Code: Select all
