Helhp with Your Weather Widget

[janos33]

Hello everyone. I am having a bit of trouble configuring the "Your Weather" widget for Rainmeter.
As far as I can find, USCA0780 appears to be my location code for Northridge, CA. My zip is 91324.

When I try to edit the skin, this is what I have now. Please, What can I change or modify in order to resolve my issue?

Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
; updated weather ~15 minut
UpdateRate=3600
Url=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/USCA0780?cc=*&unit=#SCALE#&dayf=6

Any suggestions? Thank you very much for any insight or suggestions. They would be very much appreciated!

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Location=USCA0780
Scale=m
;F for imperial

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=12600
Url=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#SCALE#&dayf=6

Try that.

Thank you for your suggestion and help. However, it didn't work for me. Perhaps it is my fault, maybe I didn't do something right when I make a change. Here is what I have right now:


;Please replace your location code of Weather.com below, e.g: New York is USNY0996.
;You can check it on Weather.com or Google.

When I go to to the desktop, it says #scale.txt# and below that feels like scale text, etc. Weird. Almost like reading the weather report on some alien planet, lol and in some alien language.

The first problem I see is that you're trying to use a variable that's not defined.

To make it easier; What skin are you using? Got a link to it?

[janos33]

I downloaded this off of the deviant-art website............. here's a link:

http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/?q=weather&order=9&offset=24#/d2242lk

it's called "Your Weather" by Gerguter

And............Thanx!!

[Chewtoy]

Right.
Re-download it so you reset all the settings (if you've messed something up, it's good to get rid of).
Enable the skin, right-click -> edit skin

Replace the lines UpdateRate and URL with this:
UpdateRate=12800
Url=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/#dest#?cc=*&unit=#SCALE#&dayf=6

And that's it to make it work.
To get your own location, in the [Variables] section

Code: Select all

;Please replace your location code of Weather.com below, e.g: New York is USNY0996.
;You can check it on Weather.com or Google.
dest=USFL0250
; define Fahrenheit Scale = f or Celsius = m
SCALE=f
; define show Scale Mark
SCALE.txt=°F

Save.
And that's all you should edit to get it to work.

Wow. Just like you said, it should work, and it did. Yay! Thank you so much. It is very much appreciated. Great job!
Like my mom says, "Many heads make light work!" Thanks again!
