SnX-Weather block link problem - What could be the cause?

Hello....

I loaded SnX-Weather, big improvement over MS-Weather, and very timely, since Yahoo! chose to get snippy over MS-Weather.

I have only one complaint, which probably isn't the module's fault at all. The link on the weather block "SnX_Weather_Forecast" doesn't seem to work. But the wierd thing is it looks like the link is correct. If I manually type in the address it loads the page with no problem. But for some reason, it's like the browser is trying to add something to the address (like www?) when you click on the link.

Could this be a tabling issue in PHPMyAdmin or something?

Never mind, I fixed it....

As it turns out, Netscape was being picky about the little slash at the end of the URL.

Great Mod!

Hello everybody.
For those who want it, I have the complete list for UK cities from http://www.weather.com (654 cities).
More to come...
P.S: I already have the French one of course (278 cities)

Hi Snakes....

I was having trouble with SnX-Weather lining up properly in one of my themes, so I ran PHP debug. Here is what I found....
-----
Notice: Use of undefined constant _SnX_WEATHER_FORECAST - assumed '_SnX_WEATHER_FORECAST' in /home/christ/public_html/modules/snx_weather/blocks/block-SnX-Weather.php on line 112
-----
FYI. (BTW, thanks again for this module!)

Strange thing is it has <{xoops_url}>/modules/ in the call.

I get cannot resovle http://www.weather.com

When I asked if they were blocking anything they asked me

"Is this module using a special command to get information like wget etc?"

Any help would be thankful

The module is 100% PHP.
No external command line, no wget, lo lynx.
Try this PHP file
echo gethostbyname("www.weather.com");
$handle=fopen("http://www.weather.com/","r");
while(!feof($handle)) {
   $buf=fgets($handle,2048);
   echo htmlspecialchars($buf);
}
close($handle);
?>


This should print the IP: 63.111.66.11
and a HTML source code.

If not then you have some DNS resolving problem with your
host server.

I just got the same pb 2 weeks ago, the host server admin had modified some configurations and now it works for me.
