Modules: xp-weather 1.4

Posted by: sylvainbOn 2003/5/26 2:57:56 8874 reads

Since today 09h00 PM, xp-weather 1.4 is in action onto my site!

More countries added like in the xoops 1.x.x version.

Read more...

This version of the module is for xoops 2.0.2 only!!
Already tested under xoops 2rc3 and not working!
More, already tested under three differents platforms :
- php 4.1.2 (my site)+mysql 4.0.12 -> OK
- php 4.2.0+mysql 3.23.39 -> OK
- php 4.3.1+mysql 4.0.11a -> OK
All with xoops 2.0.2 installed!
Since it has not been tested yet under oldest version of xoops
(xoops v2 final and xoops 2.0.1), i need some voluntaries to test it before you can find it in the download section.
For those who want to do it, please tell it to me in the commentaries of my site.
Thanks!

Hi,

I would like XP_weather on my home page, but my city isn't on the list. In fact, no danish cities are

Can I add the danish cities to the database myself? Where do I find the city codes?

Don't know how to add more cities/stations to xp-weather.
In fact there are some danish cities but none of them display available stations?!
The only thing i've done was to find why it wasn't working under xoops2...nothing more, perhaps i didn't explain it as clear as i wanted to do!

I have: php 4.3.1+mysql 4.0.11a -> OK
All with XOOPS 2.0.2 installed!

Installed the english mysql which is not entirely english--a lot of cities are in French

Tried 2 installs, the France default works ok after installation. But try changing to UK or any other default and the images dont display from the folders. The satellite pics etc at the bottom of the page do display, but lead to wrong paths

The paths it is searching for the the images are:

http://www.macambridge.com/modules/XPWeather/images/fresh/.gif

it is seeking '.gif' rather than the names of the files

hope this helps

Are you sure you've installed xp-weather 1.4?
Because there isn't any fresh images folder in it!
You can only find it in the previous versions.
And i know there's a bug with links for satellites pics etc... but don't know why it's fully functional with us stations and not completely with others.
In fact for all countries (execept us) i think there's only the satellite link which is functional.
For UK, i've seen that you registered on my site, you can try to play with your country...it's working.
Images are displayed in the block and also in the forecast page (index.php).

Since it'll be available, you can try this link.

I installed this module and it appears to be updating once a day instead of once an hour??

Is this right? If not what do I need to do to ensure it updates correctly. It is installed on 2.02

Thanks for this updated module

I installed xp-weather 1.4 from the xoopsit site and I don't seem to have an admin menu for it. Is there a fix? I'm running XOOPS 2.0.3.

Anybody know if there is a version of xp-weather that will work with XOOPS 2.05? It'd be nice...

I am running several XOOPS sites 2.05 and xp-weather 1.4 is functioning correctly on all of them

Hi Serge, could you comment on how you got XP-Weather 1.4 working with XOOPS 2.0.5? For me, the module seems to work, but doesn't allow us to change the locations for admin, or for users. Permissions are 775 on the /cache directory and files, and 666 on /cache/config.php file as stated in the install.txt file.
When trying to change default or personal weather locations, it just shows the same page again without changing.
Am I missing a configuration or permission somewhere?

Thanks for any help

(also posted under the XP-Weather 1.3 moduls comments)

I noticed in the index.php file that there are two types of stations, the first TWC (the weather channel, weather.com) and the second WMO (world meteorlogical organization, www.wmo.ch).

What I can't figure out is why SO many international cities do not locate a station when the data is correct.

In my case I have been trying to add Russian cities, and for example St. Petersburg's WMO index number is 26063 and the ICAO location indicator is ULLI - both of which are correct in the SQL file and both I have confirmed from national weather services of the US (NWS and NOAA) as well as Russian weather services) YET the module can never find a station? Weird.

I did a little playing around and found that if I went and changed the values in the database, namely the accid to the ULLI and the wcid to RSXX0091 - the id for the weather channel, consequenly for MSNBC is module pulls the correct info and it works fine.

A couple of questions:

1) How is the module locating stations

2) How is the wcid value added into the database and where does it come from? The station?

3) Why is there any dilineation between TWO and WMO value within the index.php since it does not appear that the WMO website is ever queried, but only msnbc.accuweather.

4) More of an idea than a question, however it would be really cool to have a couple of select boxes, one for country another for states / regions, and another for a city. This would allow a user to quickly check weather for another city without having to go through the hoops of logging on (and registering if they aren't already).
Or maybe it could be a select box with "featured weather" in "featured cities" that would be created by the Admin, effectively listing major cities, like London, England; Paris, France; New York, USA, etc.

Thanks

Chris

Hello V-guy

Cache directory is set to 777 and cache/*.php set to 666 on my installation.

Hope this helps you

I forgot about this thread and to answer my own post about the cacheing time it works ok as well.

Cheers

the download i have for this doesn't seem to have an admin folder and hence doesn't load in the admin section. Is this right? can anyone point me at a download that works?

I downloaded a recent upgrade of 1.72 from 123rando.com. I could not get it to work. I could see the block on my main page with out turning anything on it just automatically appeared. Any options I would select left me with a "Module cannot not Load error or be found or something" . Went looking in Block settings and found I could get at some config info using Edit feature for this xp block. Nothing special in here sets up config.php from what I can tell. Played around still could not get this thing to load.

So I scratched my butt and played with mouse for a few minutes. Then got out bbedit for search and replace and renamed any occurence of xp-weather to xpweather. I got the idea from some other post where someone was asking about how this module was named. I reloaded the edited xpweather module into my newly updated 2.0.7 XOOPS and.

It works ... now settings are available etc, etc from the actual block still can't find anything in admin. This module will not move over into the left column where i suspect it belongs it stays put in module activate/deactivate zone. While my weather station is not available I will dig the information up some where and figure a way to plug it in. I only need the warmth of Latin America the rest of the world is too cold anyway.

BTW ... weather.com has a developer section where you can signup for a key in much the same way as google dev keys. Wondering if anyone who has time to learn this could look into this xml feed and then create some kind of module that pulls in the selected feed from weather.com format it a bit and display in a block here in xoops. Don't need anything fancy, plain old text would be more than sufficient, maybe nicely aligned etc. Maybe even have a quick admin screen where user could plug in proper city/station code then pull weather onto their site. No need for extended forecasts and the like; the radio and tv broadcasts that info every few minutes or continuously all day long already.

Anyway just rambling it's late, I still have to find codes for this xpweather thingamajig. Hope some of this made sense to anyone having problems with this module.

Regards,
rocket98

ps. XOOPS rocks... I'm able to do more here now with this app than the time I wasted away using postnuke or phpnuke. And it looks better too.
