Yes, the feed changed again in the summer so the August update is the working version. Darn that weather channel!

Glad to hear you got it working again and your English is completely understandable!

Right-click and select "Edit Weather Variables" to Edit the file WeatherComJSONVariables.inc in the @Resources folder of the skin and change Units=e to Units=m.

Save the file and refresh the skin.

The days of the week and months are coming from the .lua code, and the os.date() functions in Lua are based on the current "locale" set on your computer. So you would need to edit the Lua and use string.gsub() on the values returned and set for weekdayName and monthName, in order to change Monday to Lunes.

I assume you have already done some editing to change other things like the textual numbers to Spanish.

Find the function DateString() in the .lua, and add some string.gsub() calls...

Code: Select all

function DateString()

	weekdayName = os.date('%A')
	monthName = os.date('%B')
	
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Monday', 'lunes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Tuesday', 'martes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Wednesday', 'miércoles')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Thursday', 'jueves')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Friday', 'viernes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Saturday', 'sábado')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Sunday', 'domingo')
	

Do the same for monthName.

I think you will find that if you change the API Key to 21d8a80b3d6b444998a80b3d6b1449d3, it will begin to work again.

Thanks! Just found the API key and updated it. Working fine now.
