Dampen Your Expectations

I have done no further work on this since I have a servicable hack on my php-nuke site.
I have been very busy doing other stuff and do not at this time intend to do anymore on this module.
Sorry to get your expectations up.
I came to this site looking for help myself, and instead found others needing help for a branch I am not familiar with.
My hack is so tangled up that I will not share it.
If there is a stretch of lousy weather (I mean the real weather) I may have some time to do coding, but right now the gardens take up all my spare time as we are in a wonderful spell of great days out there in mother nature....

I doubt very much that I will take the time to port this to XOOPS since I have no way to test it nor interest in learning something new.
So what I have done is download the version just revealed to me (thanx kapeman). I have some file compare s/w and if it turns out not to be TOO hard, I may (he said may) post a new file.
More likely I will describe the key changes and you guys will have to hack your files.
In the progress department, I still have some formatting issues with non USA info which I am struggling to understand, so now it will take longer than originally planned.
I have attempted email contact with the XOOPS version to see if they might be interested in porting my phpNuke code.
Stay tuned and be patient.
Thanks

Since I have no clue what XOOPS is, I am not sure what version of ms-weather you guys use here. The version I use is Quote:

/* MS-Weather: class.msweather.php */
/* v3.0c 11-07-2003 FOR PHP-NUKE 6.5 */

It was from Maty-scripts who has disappeared from the scene.
Is this what you have been using for XOOPS?

I am making good progress on putting the city choice feature back in.
Took awhile to figure out their schema.
Should have that done cleanly today.
Then need to clean up the code quite a bit and publish.
Should be a few days.
Stay tuned.

I have finally got a working version of MS-Weather. It now uses weather underground instead of the pain in the butt Yahoo.
Currently it is hard coded for one location.
Before I release any code I need some feedback on the look and feel of it.
I have a small town web site which uses php-Nuke where this module lives.
Please make a visit at:http://hinsdale-mass.org
Find the weather block in upper right hand corner.
Click forecast.
Then click detail.
Is this close to what you guys want to see?

That hack no longer works with the new Yahoo code.
I have made progress with weather underground. It is very easy to use their icons with no extra work.
I have the module working fine but at the moment the block is way too wide so I am trying to figure out how to reformat that.
I am also confident I will be able to leave in the select other options, but all the old Yahoo codes will have to change to ZIP or City State or City Country. Also no longer need C/F switch as Weather Underground displays both all the time.
I no longer have as much time to play, but should be able to post something in about a week.

I was working on it but many strange things happen there.
I had it working for a few hours when suddenly it stopped.
I discovered that the five-day-forcast had suddenly changed to forecast-module-night and contained no information.
I was also having trouble getting the cute little icons to display.
Given that, I am switching to NOAA which means USA only (sorry rest of world) and probably it will no longer have drop down to choose other cities and will just be my site's city.
Sorry

Please don't hold your breath for me.
I am not known for fast.
In addition, there is more and more copyright warning these days.
For example, here is what the file we have been using now says at the top:



So I may be switching to NOAA myself.

I use it on a phpNuke site and it is indeed dead.
I have been figuring it out.
Yahoo has changed the code a lot so the old ripper no longer finds things like  on which it depended.
I have figured out, using my little custom ripper tool, how to get the data from the new site configuration, but I need the wayback machine to remember how it "looked" when it worked so I can extract the same info as before. I then need to translate from my generic ripper to the matyscript code.
Having said all that, I am no sure what XOOPS is (googled msweather broke to get here) so I am not sure what it means to users on this forum.
