Plugin: Weather

[thedevo]

Hi guys,
I loaded the weather plugin sucessfully and can see the icon in the main menu, however when I enter the menu it tells me that there is a problem and that it cant find the zip code in the S00custom-options file. I have a valid zip code in the S00custom-options file obtained as instructed in the post. See below a snippit from my S00custom-options file.

# Settings for Weather Plugin. Look Info: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1520
# WEATHER_ID - Zipcode of location for forecast.
# METRIC_ID="1" - for Celsius. METRIC_ID="0" - for Fahrenheit(default).
config_tool -c WEATHER_ID="OCN|AU|NSW|WOLLONGONG|"
config_tool -c METRIC_ID="1"

Any takers?

Looks like normal string...
Did you have inet connection?
Try connect to WD via telnet or ssh and look into the /conf/config

Code: Select all

cat /conf/config | more

WEATHER_ID='OCN|AU|NSW|WOLLONGONG|'
METRIC_ID='1'
must be presented
If no - just send command in (WD) command line:

Code: Select all

config_tool -c WEATHER_ID="OCN|AU|NSW|WOLLONGONG|"

Code: Select all

config_tool -c METRIC_ID="1"

and relook /conf/config
Reboot - should work.

Thanks DJArty it now works fine!
Can you please explain if the /conf/config value was supposed to automatically get updated from the S00custom-options file or was it something that I missed when setting the weather plug-in.
Thanks again for the quick reply.

/conf/config value was supposed to automatically get updated from the S00custom-options file
May by "End-of-Line" problem then editing S00custom-options ..... or wrong S00cu... place (root folder of flash/drive)

Made for himself version with weather data from Wеather.cоm. It's funny to compare.
Don`t announce yet because of copyright questions.

awesome plugin!


For any NOOBS in the USA, just add your zip code (mine is 32566), no need of other stuff to the end of S00Custom-options as follows:

# Settings for Weather Plugin. Look Info: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1520
# WEATHER_ID - Zipcode of location for forecast.
# METRIC_ID="1" - for Celsius. METRIC_ID="0" - for Fahrenheit(default).
config_tool -c WEATHER_ID="32566"
config_tool -c METRIC_ID="0"

I noticed that the configuration entries are missing from the out of the box version of the web end configurator, given the plugin is optional that's understandable.

Here are the WEC entries definition I'm using

copy into a file named weather_wec.php in the /tmp/config-plugins folder; it'll then automatically be picked up by the web end configurator

Code: Select all

<?php

/***    WEC entries for DJArty AccuWeather plugin
***/

$wec_options['WEATHER_ID'] = array('configname' => 'WEATHER_ID',
                    'configdesc' => "Specify the location for AccuWeather plugin:",
                    'longdesc' => "Default: [none]",
                    'group' => 'AccuWeather Plugin',
                    'type' => WECT_TEXT,
                    'page' => WECP_WDTVEXT,
                    'defaultval' => '',
                    'currentval' => '');
$wec_options['METRIC_ID'] = array('configname' => 'METRIC_ID',
                    'configdesc' => "Specify the units used on AccuWeather plugin:",
                    'longdesc' => "Default: Fahrenheit",
                    'group' => 'AccuWeather Plugin',
                    'type' => WECT_SELECT,
                    'page' => WECP_WDTVEXT,
                    'availval' => array('0','1'),
                    'availvalname' => array('Fahrenheit','Centigrade'),
                    'defaultval' => '0',
                    'currentval' => '');

Another thing:
It's possible to add translation forecasts from en to ru, it, nl , fr etc.. via google translate API..
Looks pretty funny (sloppy):
Variable clouds with a couple of showers = Переменная облака пара ливней (ru)
nubi variabile con un paio di docce (it)
nuages variable avec quelques averses (fr)
Variabele wolken met een paar douches (nl)
Variable Wolken mit ein paar Schauer (de)
Zmienna chmur kilka pryszniców (pl)

Is there a need this feature?

[essoG]

No Thanks

google translate is terrible in Dutch
