Weather Plugin

[ceejm1]

Not sue wether this post should be on the devolpers area, but seeing as it regards a plugin, seemed the best place.

On viewing the current weather page, i get an 'unknown condition' image with a question mark. But the forecast screen shows the appropriate images.

I am viewing weather for Edinburgh, UK if that makes an difference.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

does anybody know how to get the weather plugin to show the correct time zone info

My weather for Arbroath scotland is great except that the date and time are set for EDT timezone rather than GMT or BST

If you can tell me what the condition text was (partly cloudy for example, exact spelling and spacing is important) I can try and resolve the icon issue.

For the time zone, this is how the data comes from the msnbc feed.  For example:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this.swLastUp = "09/01/2004 07:00:00";[/QUOTE]

I suppose someone could make a change to parse this string then convert from eastern time to GMT.  But between 'real' work and trying to get the messenger plugin working as well as localization support for the weather plugin, my bandwidth is used up.  But the source code is provided so feel free

And this thread probably does belong in the support forum.

There is no condition text that I can see, to the right of the 'unknown' symbol is the temperature with quite a large gap below it where I imagine condition text could be.

Well if there was no condition text, that would certainly explain no icon

MSNBC seems to be having a issue with all of the UK.  When I tried to call up their page I got:

An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.

We might want to try again tomorrow.

I was able to get through for your area now.  The current condition for your area shows up as:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this.swConText = ""; [/QUOTE]

Which is why you have no condition and no icon.  By contrast, sub's area shows:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> this.swConText = "Rain Shower/ Windy[/QUOTE]

This is why you see the '?' and no current condition.  I don't know why the msnbc feed is incomplete for your area.

I can confirm it is indeed &quot;Rain Shower/Windy&quot; here - and I've got to walk off to work in a few minutes...

Interesting. Have alerted msnbc to the problem.

We'll see......

I have been experiencing occasional similar problems in the UK using code UKXX0268. I will try to gather more data.

Having said above that I will try to get more data I'm not sure how to! Current conditions still often show the &lt;unknown&gt; icon.
