Weather not working

[blusclus]

Hello everyone. I just started applying a rainmeter skin to my pc a couple of hours ago and I am currently using simple sentence 2.1. I'm just having trouble with the weather and sun application. I put in the weather code but it's still not working.

This is what's in it at the moment:

WeatherCode=USIL1057
City=Space
Font=Light From Behind
Colour=255, 255, 255

;----------MEASURES----------

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=#USIL1057#&u=f
RegExp=(?siU)<link.*>(.*)</link>.*city=\"(.*)\".*sunrise=\"(.*)\".*sunset=\"(.*)\".*<image>.*<url>(.*)</url>.*<title>.*:.*m .*(.*)</title>.*lat>(.*)<.*long>(.*)<.*yweather:condition.*text=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*temp=\"(.*)\".*yweather:forecast.*day=\"(.*)\".*high=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*yweather:forecast.*day=\"(.*)\".*high=\"(.*)\".*code=\"(.*)\".*
StringIndex=1

Am I missing something? Need help on this.

Thanks.

I believe that this needs to be changed to:

Code: Select all

Url=http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USIL1057&u=f

I do not know where you got the location being a variable, but by entering the website in my code box (without the #), I was able to see the feed. Also, for some weather codes, you need to change the p after http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss? into a w. This is because yahoo weather decided to change that part of the code and they haven't finished applying it to all the weather feeds.

got it. The # isn't part of the code. I erased it and it finally worked.


Thanks.

How do I set rainmeter up so it loads automatically when I start up the computer?

Run the Rainmeter installer and check 'Start with Windows'. Your settings will be preserved.

(or create a shortcut of Rainmeter.exe into start-up folder)

another question:

regarding the simplesentence skin: how can I change the font color (white atm, to a black one and vice versa) so it matches some of
my other wallpapers?

Under Variables change the font color using RGB code

Follow up question:

I'm using objectdock and whenever I click "show desktop" the dock disappears and I have to relaunch it again.
How do I configure the dock so it won't get closed whenever I click the "show desktop" icon?

I'm assuming that by saying "show desktop", you mean the button on windows 7 taskbar, right? I believe that they use the same rendering mode as aero peek as they do for show desktop, so I'll quickly go and get the link to a solution to this problem.

EDIT: Here is the link to a topic that has a similiar problem: http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5314. This should fix your problem, I'll make sure in a moment by trying to recreate this problem.
