Weather CCF, GML and LUA, support if you need it.....!

Hi

Please use this thread if you need help with the weather scripts and CCF

It is available from here

http://www.blackwidowaudio.com/misc/weather.zip

See this post for pictures

http://www.promixis.com/phpBB2/viewt...864&highlight=

You will requireGirder 3.3 or later and the LUA plugins for LUA Events, Win LUAEx

To get your location Code, use the following url, replace corvallis, with your town name.

http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=corvallis

The code for your town will be displayed

File had been updated to include

Sunset and Sunrise for today/Current Conditions page. Available in NR via {sunr.current} and {sunr.current}

Minor correction to CCF Today page, for wind speed.

Fix for data that provides current conditions pressure as "n/a"

Fix for read error caused by Girder link not being present.

Fix for data that provides current conditions visability as "n/a" or nil

Fix for possible error in temps

Added UK Date Variable, in format dd/mm/yy, available via, {cc.uklsup} within NR

Added improvement to code to stop Current conditions displaying "Calm, mph". If the wind speed from the data is "Calm", the display will now only dis play "Calm"

Fixed vis problem. With lua incorectly rounding it.

Removed need to call girder event for day

Improved loading code.

Fixed weather icon coding fault

Changed function to work out what day it is to reflect a bug fix from Promixis. "local Day1 = tonumber(os.date("%w")+1);"

Improved one of the on variable change bit's, to remove some unnecessary junk.

Fixed stupid little date bug in forecast

Thanks for doing this Dan. Great work. Two questions before I get started on this tonight:

1. What Girder plugins are required?

2. Will it run on 3.2.9 or do I need to upgrade?

[danward79]

Ummmm,,

Plugins Reqd!!!.

You need

LUA Events, Win LUAEx, I think! I don't know....

It should work fine with 3.2.9

I am using 3.3.4

Not Very helpful, but hey!

I *think* the call to luacom_CreateObject() precludes Girder before 3.3.

[Cocophone]

where do I find the location code at weather.com?

THanks

Hi

Thanks Mark Post ammended. To say 3.3 or later.

Cocophone,

Search on weather.com for your area. then take the URL and extract the code, from it as below, for myself I search Hove.

1. Goto weather.com
2. Search your town (Hove)
3. When weather for your town is displayed, extract code from URL.

http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...om=search_city

I need this code

UKXX1738

from the above URL.

4. place this in the two scripts in Girder.

Done!

Hope that helps :wink:

Cheers

Figured it out after downloading the SDK

In my web browser I went to

http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=corvallis


corvallis is my city.

The web page then load with the location id.
