Weather Skin Upgrade

xJibril7x · Post by **xJibril7x** » February 15th, 2023, 8:31 am

Hey all,

I installed a skin and having difficulties getting the weather to display properly.
It is using the wxdata, which is apparently is out of commission.
I tried using openweather and still could not get it to function properly.
Tried using this guys https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainmeter/comments/sreld2/weather_plugin api plugin, to no avail.
So if anyone is feeling generous enough it would be nice to get this skin working properly, thanks

I do have an openweather api if needed.
So the code im working with is as follows

Code: Select all

It is using the wxdata, which is apparently is out of commission.

It definitely is out: "This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020" (result of using the URL).

What openweather is?

Never tried this plugin, but it's not needed either. WebParser measures can deal with this.

I do have an openweather api if needed.
So the code im working with is as follows

You have to completely rewrite the code. This is quite a complicated thing.
Instead of rewriting the posted code, I better suggest you to choose one of the existing and working skin. There are plenty of them.
If on the other hand, you want to rewrite it, there is a very good tutorial by eclectic-tech, on how to get such a skin working. Recommend to follow the description.
