Weather, 5 day forcast trouble

Postby wads on Sun Sep 05, 2004 8:05 pm

Anyone else having trouble with the weather page? It will display the current weather info, no problem. But the 5 day forcast info is blank. could it be that http://www.weather.com has changed the data?

Steve,

Would it be possible to obtain the source code for the xweather plugin. I would like to make a change to it that would put some of the formating in a script (text). This is so, if the web site changes, a new plugin would not have to be written to accomidate.

Darren

Thanks for getting the server back up. I read in avsforum how much of a hassel it was. I am a computer tech, so I know....

Ok this sounds like a plug but my weather plugin seems to be pretty stable and shouldn't have problems with breaking since it doesn't use Yahoo scraping like the original one does and Weather.com has a proper DTD specification for their XML feed.

Unfortunately you would have to modify your skin to use it since it is not a drop-in replacement although it is close :(

Thanks, funny, I had just downloaded your plugin and was going to chek it out. I like the screen shot layouts also. I am going to try to emulate those. I will prob change the radar image so that it can be shown both small and full screen by the push of a button.
