Does anyone know of any weather widgets that I can put on my forum that will automatically detect the user's location based on IP address, and show them their city weather?
I used to have Yahoo but stopped working, I tried several other famous weather sites widgets but all of them work with your input city, then the forum users must change it by themselves to their cities

Very good Idea! Im also interested in this! if there isnt anything out there that does this. I wonder if someone could possibly work up a code for this? im sure it could be something put in a css code to pull from a weather website!

I think it's probably more of a problem to get the location based on someone's ip. I'm not sure anyone's giving that information away (I know there are web sites that let you get the information for one ip at a time, but if you read the rules, they probably don't let you write code to get the info).

Domaintools http://www.domaintools.com/ offer all sorts of services. I use them for checking IP addresses of users on my forum if I need to.

I'm not sure if they have what's needed but if anyone is thinking of making such a mod it might be worthwhile having a look at them.
