[Natch]

Awesome !

Thanks for this - great coverage!

[Merjawy]

Why not ... this is bad.. I love it.. will install.. much better than what I have now :)


just rename the file to WorldWeather if you don't mind :)


thnx

[Giveit2u43]

Great looking hack :)

[deathemperor]

COOL, it can show the weather of everywhere in our planet !!!

[Erwin]

Very cool... I might just add this! :)

[Beermonster]

Going to install this, thanks :)

[KTBleeding]

Very neat hack..

I however don't have a use for it.
Looks nice though.

[msimplay]

thas fantastic i will install now :D

[Deska]

Beautiful hack :D

[Phalynx]

really nice one, thanks!

[nexialys]

i don't like it; it's telling that i will have showers for the rest of the week...
joking... it's cool...

[nighteyes]

Awesome hack.... will install this later. :)

[Lurk]

this is awesome!!
/me runs off to install

[Boofo]

Very nice! Will install! ;)

[The Realist]

In the instructions it says:

"If your setup uses a table_prefix then use the script that is included to add the
prefix name to the forecast table name"

Where do I look to see if my DB has a table_prefix and if it does not, do I need to run the sql file?

[The Realist]

I ran the SQL file and received this error:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
CREATE TABLE forecast (id int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment

Im now stuck at stage No7

It says:

If your setup uses a table_prefix then use the script that is included to add the
prefix name to the forecast table name. To run the change.php script, place the
forecast.sql file and the change.php script in your main vbulletin directory (./)
then run the script from your browser. When it is finished it will update the
forecast.sql file to match your system settings! After this install the forecast
database into your main forum database!

Can someone explain this in English please.

[yukayumi]

Ver nice hack,absolutely will give it a try.By the way,I like the template of your demo http://forum.ya-right.com/ . I wonder where to download that skin. Any suggestion would be appreciated.Thannks.

[defi]

Awesome idea; I saw your post at vbulletintemplates and fell in love with it; Definetly going to use this.

Thanks bud!

Hi The Realist

To find out if your using a prefix, go to ./includes/config.php, and find the variable...

$tableprefix = '';

If this has a value, then you need to run the 'change.php' script to add the prefix!


As for your MySql Error, something is not being escaped somewhere....

Tell me the following....

1. Are you using a prefix?

2. How are you trying to install the weather table (command line, phpMyAdmin, other) ?


If you can not get the SQL file to load, create the table manual, then I will give you a script to loop the file and do the inserts that way! I have tested this SQL file, on 8 different systems Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac and I can not reproduce your error.

Note you can not load this from the VB admin panel it will not work! I will help you, but answer my questions so I can!

[Zombie]

I checked the test site but did not see any weather conditions on the main forum page even though it's checked in the user cp

Is that a bug or just an oversite on adding it to the forum home page?

[edeab220]

It is in the User CP. The link is at the bottom on the left. ;)

[edeab220]

It is in the User CP. The link is at the bottom on the left. ;)
I saw that but it gives a choice to show it on the forum home page. Where exactly does it show it?

[nineball]

I has already added a custom field so my field numbers are different.

I changed the array and the update statement and it does update the correct field, however the location on the user cp does not display.

Is there any other place I need to change to use a field other than field9 for the location field

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' )
{
$new_forecast = forecast_valid ( $bbuserinfo[field19], $bbuserinfo[field20], $bbuserinfo[field21], $bbuserinfo[field22], $bbuserinfo[field23] );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 1 );
$customfields = array ();
fetch_profilefields(1);
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['weather_title'];
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
if ( !empty ( $_POST['location'] ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET field23=" . addslashes( $_POST['location'] ) . " WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );
$GLOBALS['url'] = 'profile.php?do=weather';
eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}
else

[Merjawy]

Right on the demo site it won't show on form home what you selected and thats because its not keeping your selection if you notice..

maybe cuz that is a demo as he said :)

[kall]

*nods*

The concept is excellent, but the install is a bit of a killer, mainly for those people who already have custom fields installed.

:(

I have installed it, but the Location Field is a single-line text box...with no hints as to what the code to put in it is.

[gmarik]

Looks just fine!

[MooMan65]

Hmm. After waiting for about half an hour on my 56k modem to apply the Database changes I get an error with the first damn query when it tried to create the forecast table:

CREATE TABLE forecast(

id int( 4 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
rid char( 2 ) default NULL ,
region varchar( 15 ) default NULL ,
cid char( 2 ) default NULL ,
country varchar( 33 ) default NULL ,
sid char( 2 ) NOT NULL default '',
state varchar( 20 ) default NULL ,
pid varchar( 5 ) NOT NULL default '',
place varchar( 120 ) default NULL ,
code varchar( 8 ) default NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( id ) ,
KEY forecast_rid_cid_sid_pid( rid, cid, sid, pid )
)ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1' at line 12

I'm pretty sure it's because my PHP version is too old, which is a shame as this isn't my server so I don't have a choice as to upgrading the version. :( But this is a great hack though! :) Thanks!

[romanticyao]

can someone please tell me how do i install the weather table using command line? :nervous:

Hi MooMan 65

Just remove that line.....

As it is the default chr/set anyways! It will cause problems with some mysql managers! Like in MyPHPAdmin, if you use browse and upload having the charset is ok, but if you try to run the create in the query text box you will get the same error you got!

change to.....


DROP TABLE IF EXISTS forecast;
CREATE TABLE forecast (
id int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
rid char(2) default NULL,
region varchar(15) default NULL,
cid char(2) default NULL,
country varchar(33) default NULL,
sid char(2) NOT NULL default '',
state varchar(20) default NULL,
pid varchar(5) NOT NULL default '',
place varchar(120) default NULL,
code varchar(8) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY forecast_rid_cid_sid_pid (rid,cid,sid,pid)
);

Can I not add this?

Hi

This was done, because I want everyone to first install the core system. Adding it to any page after the core system is installed is easy! I don't know why you said the example on my demo site was not working, because it is!


Maybe someone switched it off when you were trying it!


HINT!!!!!

Look under the "WHOS ON LINE"


This will be released tomorrow, along with transparent images using (2) sizes, (1) for the CP, the other for the FORUMHOME and Members Profile page. The templates are easy to make, so you can design any type of display you want, using 60 different forecast array values! I will include 2 templates based on the USERCP template, which is CSS controled, so making it look the way you want is as easy as creating (2) images (gradients) and changing the colors you want to use!

Hi


If you tell what you installed, better yet give your 'profile.php, functions_user.php', and I can write a work around for whatever you have installed that might get in the way of this system!


Sonia

[MooMan65]

Thanks Sonia I got it working now, well, I think so. I already had existing custom profile fields like a number of people here so it's not working correctly at the moment. Where abouts would I need to edit in the files so I can change the profile field ids manually?

[romanticyao]

hi can you please show me how to install the .sql file? i tried with phpmyadmin but the filesize was too big. so if you could show me how to do it with command line would be great, thank you in advance

Hi

If you already have custom fields installed, this is not a problem! You just have to update the array that validates the custom fields for the weather system. I am writing a very simple 'HOW TO' with images that show you how to do this! Once the system is installed this takes less than 30 seconds to fix or change if you add more fields later!

Yep. Worked that out for myself.

That's the array in profile.php , yes?

It did nothing to fix the 'lack of a button to press to choose the location' problem tho.

Now I am getting: Warning: file_get_contents(forecast.php?wid=4416&lid=66235): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/forums/includes/functions_weather.php on line 184

... when I add a valid number manually into the text box.

Hi romanticyao

If your having a hard time installing the DB because it is to big, install it in parts!


Download this file....

http://www.ya-right.com/sql.zip


unzip it, then install every file starting at (1) to (8), make sure you install it in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 this is very important!

I have installed this on 7 boards today already, and I am working on 3 right now. (3) of those had the same trouble, so spliting the INSERT up seems to have worked for me, I hope it will for you!


Sonia

[romanticyao]

great! thanx! I'll do it now

[MooMan65]

Yeah, I've found also that the only mentioning of the profile field ids are in the profile.php file mod you do. I don't have the problem with the Select button not appearing, instead even after I pick and Region and Location etc. it doesn't display it in 'Current Location:' afterward. That's no doubt due to the Profile Field IDs being inconsistant, but adjusting the profile ids in the profile.php mod above still doesn't solve this. :( I'm sure there's something I'm missing. :p

*grins* I was missing something...my brain.

Missed the 'make field private' instruction on the last field.

Still getting the Warning: file_get_contents(forecast.php?wid=4416&lid=66235): failed to open stream: No such file or directory error tho.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi


Go to ./includes/

And open functions_weather.php


Search for.....


function fetch_new_weather ( $in )



Below that, does your code look like this.....



global $vbphrase, $vboptions;
$data = array ();
$soap_server = $vboptions['homeurl'] . '/forecast.php?wid=' . $in . '&lid=' . WEATHER_ID;


Just tell me that.... (does it look the same as I just posted?

Sonia

[ambrosious]

Did you want the php file, or just the text from it?

[kall]

Nope.

It looks like

function fetch_new_weather ( $in )
{
global $vbphrase;

$data = array ();
$soap_server = 'forecast.php?wid=' . $in . '&lid=' . WEATHER_ID;
$out = explode ( '-ss-', file_get_contents ( $soap_server ) );

if ( !strstr ( $out[0], 'ok' ) )
{
return ( $data );
}

return ( unserialize ( $out[1] ) );
}


**edit**

WOOHOO! Got it working! (used 'bburl' as the other one is my homepage.)

There's also a 'cannot find lang_en.php' error in there after it finds forecast.php

[ChuanSE]

Pfff, i really really having a hard time with importing this db

a request: PLZ make phpmyadmin compliant sql with limit to 2mb, al what goes higher is /dev/null

i tried with mysqlimport on shell comand line, but that gave me like 300.000 warnings and all tables with data "NULL"

also, with taking away the latin 1 line, the table isn't myIsam either :p

You don't want to take away the whole line... just the part about default charset...

And, there's a split up zip file somewhere here, each one is about 5000 instructions. They phpmyadmin up really well.

Hmm, I entered them manually but when i created the table, i did took away the whole line, so my table isn't MyIsam :/ anyway to correct it without dropping the table?

The forcast system works but it doesn't save the selected options & location, and so i have no forecast displayed. Is that due to the rease of the myisam line?

Hi

I checked your forum, you have everything right but two things.... (it not the MyIsam, it script and path related)

Send me an email, and I will send you the the scripts you need to fix!

In the email put your URL (http://community.digitainment.org) to your forum so I know which one I am working on!

Just a quick question on this.... it seems the list of locations is mostly in alphabetical order but not entirely. Is there a way to correct the sort order at all?

Btw... thanks very much for this! It's exactly what I was after.

[Marulatree]

Does this work with VB 3.0.3?

[MooMan65]

Sonia, I can't seem to email anything to that address without it getting bounced back so I'll attach the package here.

Unfortunatly I can't give you access to the forum I'm hacking as I don't own the license or the server. I'm managing the forums for someone else. But hopefully that package is enough. Thanks!

[The Realist]

Hi M8,
Sorry for the delay reply, here are my answers.

1) Are you using a prefix?
A: No it says in config $tableprefix = '';

2) How are you trying to install the weather table (command line, phpMyAdmin, other) ?
A: Tried Phpmyadmin and it times out and from Vbulletins own php installer panel.

Regards,

Brian

PS.

Just tried again running the SQL in phpmyadmin and I received this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 77

Line 77 says: $sql = ltrim(substr($sql, min($i + 1, $sql_len)));

Laters


Hi The Realist

To find out if your using a prefix, go to ./includes/config.php, and find the variable...

$tableprefix = '';

If this has a value, then you need to run the 'change.php' script to add the prefix!


As for your MySql Error, something is not being escaped somewhere....

Tell me the following....

1. Are you using a prefix?

2. How are you trying to install the weather table (command line, phpMyAdmin, other) ?


If you can not get the SQL file to load, create the table manual, then I will give you a script to loop the file and do the inserts that way! I have tested this SQL file, on 8 different systems Unix, Linux, Windows and Mac and I can not reproduce your error.

Note you can not load this from the VB admin panel it will not work! I will help you, but answer my questions so I can!

I have this exact same problem and have spent most of the night trying to figure it out without luck. I have custom profile fields but have adjusted the array in profile.php, the final field is set to private, yet the location and forecast both remain blank (it is being written to the database if I change it).

Hi MooMan65

Edit your post, I got the file, I will post you a new file very shortly!

Sonia

[ImportPassion]

ur demo is giving a 404

[MooMan65]

Thank you! Hopefully this will fix it all. :)

EDIT: Holy crap! I got it working! Woo! The profile.php changes is all you need to do in the end I believe. Because the Field9 (that by default is the Region) is instead my Temperature Format selection. So after selecting a region which didn't seem to work I noticed that I didn't have either Radio button checked for the Temperature. It was probably confusing the two fields still so I selected an option there and voila! The same process should fix it for the other options. I asked another member to set it up from that point on and he had no problems, so it seems it's all ready now.

Oh Sonia, have you even done anything with relation to the 'display current weather on forumhome' option? As I don't see any instructions relating to it. But thx for the great hack! And the support you're giving. :)

[momzone]

this is a great hack! Thanks Sonia - you rock :-)

[Bryan Ex]

Oh Sonia, have you even done anything with relation to the 'display current weather on forumhome' option? As I don't see any instructions relating to it. But thx for the great hack! And the support you're giving. :)
Yeah! What he said ^ !! It's now working for me as well even with custom fields already in use but as mentioned above there were no template edits for Forum Home and it does not appear on the index page. Everything else is fine that I've seen so far. :nervous:

[Bryan Ex]

Sort order for the list of locations could use a little adjustment so they are listed by name rather than ID... many are out of place making it very difficult to find some locations.

[Bryan Ex]

An easy addition to include Sonia's weather hack in the Who's Online module;

Open includes/functions_online.php and find;
case 'manageattachment':
$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['managing_attachments'];
break;

Directly after it add;
case 'weather':
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Weather Forecast';
$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather\">Weather Forecast</a>";
break;

Then find;
else if ($values['do'] == 'editattachments')
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'attachments';
}

Directly after it add;
else if ($values['do'] == 'weather' OR $values['do'] == 'places' OR $values['do'] == 'forecast')
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'weather';
}

Save and upload... that's it.

What does this user profilefield do?

// title <- you can change this
Forum Display

//description <- you can change this
Show your current conditions on the forum home page...

Is a sort of weatherdisplay visible somewhere on the forumhomepage?

[romanticyao]

sorry could you put the sql zip file link up again, thank you in advance.

[Ted S]

Ive got the hack installed properly after a little fidgeting (for some reason the change to user_shell template didnt stick). But for some reason when i go through the set forcast location process nothing sets and I dont get any errors. What could be wrong that would cause the value not to stay set?

Update: I modified profile.php as per other peoples instructions to use the field IDs for my actual weather fields (I have several custom fields in the system already). Everything is working great and this hack is truly amazing... for the time being I am linking users to it from the forumhomepage, a little plugin for forumhome would be great but after getting this well done of a hack for free I am not expecting more. Thank you!

It's supposed to add another row to the Who's Online block at the bottom of the index page but that part of the hack seems to have been omitted so far.

I'd like to know how to get it to display on the main forum page also

[orca]

Just a quick question on this.... it seems the list of locations is mostly in alphabetical order but not entirely. Is there a way to correct the sort order at all?

Btw... thanks very much for this! It's exactly what I was after.
Where did you get this dropdown? I only have a textbox to enter the number for the location

[Zombie]

Where did you get this dropdown? I only have a textbox to enter the number for the location Make sure your Private Field is set to yes

[Bryan Ex]

Exactly... I think it's labelled something like "Field Hidden on Profile?" instead of "Private" but same difference. Set it to yes for the location field.

The display on forumhome looks awesome :) Do we have to re-install or will there be an upgrade?

The display on forumhome looks awesome :) Do we have to re-install or will there be an upgrade?
Just a upgade, if you want, I will put (2) files out, (1) will be for people using this method.....


$new_forecast = forecast_valid($bbuserinfo[field5],$bbuserinfo[field6],$bbuserinfo[field7],$bbuserinfo[field8],$bbuserinfo[field9]);
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast($new_forecast, 1);


And the other using the new faster method ( it does not use VB code to validate or fetch inputs, because VB fetches all the inputs, even if your not using them)...


$w_fields = array ( '16', '20' );
$new_forecast = fetch_w_fields ( $w_fields );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 3 );



1. Plus fixed the sort that was messed up the locations select box!

Also have almost 4,000 more locations for Western Europe, Canada and South America. I am going through each one now many times weather.com sends me an update and many don't work! I 've tested 732 so far and 17 are no good, 12 don't work, and 5 point to the wrong location, someone was sleeping when they wrote them STWS files!


C, ya...

Hi


Tell me these 3 things....

Question 1. What is the options (#) for the weather system that you used in ./admincp/profilefield.php

example.... (mine is #9)

edit (1) in profilefield.php


print_select_row($vbphrase['which_page_displays_option'], 'profilefield[form]', array(
$vbphrase['edit_profile'],
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[log_in] / $vbphrase[privacy]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[messaging] / $vbphrase[notification]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[thread_viewing]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[date] / $vbphrase[time]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[translate]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[ecards]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[webmail]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[weather]"
), $profilefield['form']);



edit (2) in profilefield.php


$forms = array(
0 => $vbphrase['edit_profile'],
1 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[log_in] / $vbphrase[privacy]",
2 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[messaging] / $vbphrase[notification]",
3 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[thread_viewing]",
4 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[date] / $vbphrase[time]",
5 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
6 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[translate]",
7 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[ecards]",
8 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[webmail]",
9 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[weather]",
);


Question 2. what are the field (#) numbers for the weather system?

!! Mine are field41 to field45, what are yours!

Hint: you can find the answer to question 2 in the profile fields manager AdminCP

3. give me acess to your board, so I can see the usercp or tell me the answer to questions (1 and 2) and post in a zip file (profile.php, functions_user.php and ( index.php <- to add the code for the forum disply!) so I can fix them for you!

I'll check back in a little bit for the files and your reply!

Update to display forum home view (Jul 15, 9:47 PM EDT)


This is the update for the forum home weather view....

This can be done many ways but I think I will only do it one way, so that this final update that will support the AdminCP addon that I will release to control the weather system....

Lets begin.....

(1)

Go to Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager

In the Phrase Type selectbox, select 'Posting'

When it changes, select pages '9/10'

in the list below you should see 'weather_none'

Delete it!!!!

When the page reloads, click the button 'Add New Phrase'

Make sure you are still in 'Posting'

Then add the new phrase below...



Phrase Type: Posting

Varname: weather_none_one

value....

copy below this line....
<span align="center">--<font color="ff0000"> NO FORECAST SELECTED </font>--
<br />
<br />
Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display
<br />
<br />
--<font color="ff0000"> NO FORECAST SELECTED </font>--</span>
copy above this line....



Click 'Save'

When the page reloads, , click the button 'Add New Phrase'

When that page loads, change the Phrase Type to 'GLOBAL' in the selectbox

Then add the new phrase below...



Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Varname: weather_none_two

value....

copy below this line....
<span class="smallfont"><font color="ff0000">--</font> no forecast location has been configured, click the weather icon to the left to select one <font color="ff0000">--</font></span>
copy above this line....



No go to 'Styles & Templates' >> Search in templates >> search for 'FORUMHOME'

open 'FORUMHOME'

Then find the following....


<head>


right below that add....

// change the url to the url you are using


<if condition="$show['forecast']"><if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/forecast/css/main.css" />
</if></if>



Now go almost to the bottom of 'FORUMHOME'

Find what is below....


</table>
<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->



Right above the '</table>' add what is below...


<!-- the weather condition -->
<if condition="$show['forecast']"><if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">$forecast_home[data]<else /><tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_weather')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_weather" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_weather].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[local_weather]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_weather" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_weather]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather"><img border='0' src='$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/weather.gif' alt='$vbphrase[local_weather]' /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%" align="center"><div class="smallfont" align="center">$forecast_home[data]</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody></if></if>
<!-- / the weather condition -->



Save...

Now go back to Styles & Templates >> Styles Manager

Use the selectbox, for the style you are adding the weather system to....

Scroll UP >> select >> Add New Template

Then add the following template....



Title = current_weather_two

template value.....

copy what is below this line...
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_weather')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_weather" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_weather].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$tpl[location_header]$tpl[location]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_weather" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_weather]">
<tr>
<td class="wic"><div><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather"><img border='0' src='$tpl[current_icon]' title="$tpl[current_text]" alt='' /></a></div><div class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_temp]</div></td>
<td class="wic">
<table border="0" cellpadding="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="ihs">$tpl[time_text]</td><td width='4'></td>
<td class="ihs">$tpl[humd_header]</td><td width='4'></td>
<td class='ihs'>$tpl[vis_header]</td><td width='4'></td>

<td class="smallfont">$tpl[current_humd]</td><td width='4'></td>
<td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_vis]</td><td width='4'></td>
<td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_ultra]</td><td width='4'></td>
<td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_baro] <span><img border='0' src='$tpl[icon_baro]' alt='' /></span></td><td width='4'></td>
<td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_direct]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

copy what is above this line...



Before you do the next thing....

Find out the following.....



(1) What is the starting 'field#' for the weather system
(2) What is the ending 'field#' for the weather system

If you fields are....

field11, field12, field13, field14, field15

Then your starting field# is -> 11
And your ending field# is -> 15

(3) find out what option (#) is option : weather in profilefield.php

To do this >> Go To >> left nav >> User Profile Fields >> 'add new profile field'

just click 'continue'........

When the page loads..... >> 'View Page Source'

Look for......

<select name="profilefield[form]" id="sel_profilefield[form]" tabindex="1" class="bginput">

Below the above select name you will see 'Options : Weather'

<option value="?">Options: weather</option>


You want the value where the '?' is....



After you have these values copy them to notepad or whatever your system has

// field_start = 11 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// field _end = 15 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// option_id = 6 <- this an example, yours may be different!


Now open ./profile.php

find this....


'places' => array(
'weather_new',
),



replace with....


'places' => array(
'places_display',
),



find this... (the old weather block)


if (!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANMODIFYPROFILE))
{
print_no_permission();
}

// ####### weather forecast and the forecast options ######

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' || $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' )
{
$new_forecast = forecast_valid ( $bbuserinfo[field5], $bbuserinfo[field6], $bbuserinfo[field7], $bbuserinfo[field8], $bbuserinfo[field9] );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 1 );
$customfields = array ();
fetch_profilefields(1);
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['weather_title'];
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
if ( !empty ( $_POST['location'] ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET field9=" . addslashes( $_POST['location'] ) . " WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );

if ( !empty ( $forecast_fields ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]$forecast_fields WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );
}

eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}



replace with....


if (!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANMODIFYPROFILE))
{
print_no_permission();
}

// ####### weather forecast and the forecast options ######

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' || $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
define ( 'DO_WEATHER', 1 );
// special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )
$w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );
construct_usercp_nav ( $_REQUEST['do'] );
$templatename = $_REQUEST['do'] . '_display';
$shelltemplatename = 'USERCP_SHELL';
include_once ( './includes/functions_weather.php' );
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' )
{
$new_forecast = forecast_valid ( $w_fields );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 1 );
$customfields = array ();
// special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )
fetch_profilefields ( option_id );
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['weather_title'];
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
if ( !empty ( $_POST['location'] ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET field" . $w_fields[1] . " = '" . addslashes( $_POST['location'] ) . "' WHERE userid = '" . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . "'" );
$GLOBALS['url'] = WEATHER_URL . 'profile.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 'do=weather';
eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}
else
{
$tpl = places_validate ();
$navbits[''] = $tpl['page_title'];
}
}

if ( $_POST['do'] == 'forecast' )
{
// special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )
$forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( option_id );

if ( !empty ( $forecast_fields ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET userid=" . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $forecast_fields . " WHERE userid = '" . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . "'" );
}

eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}



Now in the code you just replaced, find the following special tags and replace them with the values I told you to save right before you opened'profile.php'!



(1) field_start, occurs (1) time

change 'field_start', to the (#) that is the value for field_start!

(2) field_end, occurs (1) time

change 'field_end', to the (#) that is the value for field_end!

(3) option_id, occurs (2) time

change 'option_id, to the (#) that is the value for option_id!



Using my example values I would change the following lines in the replaced code above!



// my example values....

// field_start = 11 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// field _end = 15 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// option_id = 6 <- this an example, yours may be different!


// special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )
$w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );

// after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)
$w_fields = array ( '11', '15' );

// special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )
$forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( option_id );

// after changing the above (occurs 2 time in the replace code)
$forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( 6 );


after save and close profile.php!


open ./index.php

find the following.....


// ### WELCOME MESSAGE #################################################
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])
{ // registered user
$showmemberwelcome = true;
}
else
{ // guest
$showmemberwelcome = false;
}



replace with.....


// ### WELCOME MESSAGE #################################################
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
$showmemberwelcome = true;
// special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )
$w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );
$w_m = 'field' . ( $w_fields[1] - 1 );

if ( strpos ( $bbuserinfo[$w_m], 'always' ) )
{
$show['forecast'] = true;

define ( 'DO_WEATHER', 1 );

include_once ( './includes/functions_weather.php' );

$forecast_home = forecast_valid ( $w_fields );

if ( !empty ( $forecast_home ) )
{
$forecast_home = fetch_forecast ( $forecast_home, 2 );
}
}
}
else
{
$showmemberwelcome = false;
$show['forecast'] = false;
}




There are (2) special tags in the replace code above, be sure to change them just like you did before!

These are the tags you need to replace in the replace code above.....


// special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )
$w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );

// after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)
$w_fields = array ( '11', '15' );


After save changes to ./index.php and close it!

Open....

./includes/functions_user.php

find the following code!


function fetch_profilefields($formtype = 0) // 0 indicates a profile field, 1 indicates an option field
{

global $DB_site, $vboptions, $stylevar, $customfields, $bgclass;
global $vbphrase, $altbgclass, $bgclass1, $tempclass, $bbuserinfo;

// get extra profile fields
$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE editable = 1
AND form " . iif($formtype, '>= 1', '= 0'). "
ORDER BY displayorder
");


replace with.....


function fetch_profilefields($formtype = 0) // 0 indicates a profile field, 1 indicates an option field
{

global $DB_site, $vboptions, $stylevar, $customfields, $bgclass;
global $vbphrase, $altbgclass, $bgclass1, $tempclass, $bbuserinfo, $new_forecast;

// get extra profile fields
$profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == option_id ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );


There is (1) special tag in the replace code above! You need to change it to the value of 'option_id'

using my example.....


// special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )
$profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == option_id ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );

// after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)
$profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == 6 ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );


Save changes and close ./includes/functions_user.php


Download the file new_weather.zip

Move the folder 'si' in the zip file to, ./forecast/img/

over write the current ./forecast/css/main.css, with the new one in the zip file...

copy 'weather.gif' to the ./images/misc/ directory of the style you are using!

overwrite ./forecast.php with the new one in the zip file
overwrite ./includes/functions_weather, with the one included in the zip file!

All done...

1. Adds forum display
2. 20% speed gain...
3. fixes sort order in location select boxes
4. setups the weather system to plugin to the new Admin CP 'Weather Manager', which will be released on the 23 of July!

Need help just post!

[Ted S]

why-not,
You are simply amazing! The update has been installed, a warning to everyone else doing this: if you have issues with forecast elements not showing double check your field start and end dates, I got so wrapped up in the instructions that on the index.php changes I entered 15 instead of 14 in one place and it took me a few minutes to figure out what went wrong.

Again thank you for this amazing hack on behalf off all my users (who have had nothing but praise in the thread I started about the feature).

[MikeRoweForums]

Absolutely amazing.

Just installed the entire hack and your most recent update on my test board (for version 2 of my site), everything works perfect. This is one of the most in depth hacks I have ever seen. Very good work.

[NuclioN]

Upgraded and all works very well. Great job! :) Question..how important is the cron job in this function and will there be an instruction to set these in the admin cp?

It would be nice to display the forumhome weatherinfo right under the navbar. Then it has to be smaller i guess. How to do this?

Let me look at putting it there, I think I can make something that will work for you! Check a little later today, say around 11:00 AM EST/EDT...


Question..how important is the cron job in this function and will there be an instruction to set these in the admin cp?


I started working on adding this to the AdminCP, VB cron task. I should have it done before leaving for the office this morning! Say around 9:00 AM!

Sonia

[NuclioN]

Tnx that would be nice. I've placed the actual code in forumhome under the navbar but it is to large and it pushed the other tables to far down. If this could be done on a few lines it would be perfect. :)

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but can I ask why you designed this with a external CSS file ? Why not use vB styles to format this - it would make a bundle more sense to do it this way?

Not denying the value of htis hack - I think it's amazing! but this is just bugging me a bit ...

[Ted S]

Upgraded and all works very well. Great job! :)
It would be nice to display the forumhome weatherinfo right under the navbar. Then it has to be smaller i guess. How to do this?

I've actually changed this myself... it wasnt hard as I just moved the element up to where I wanted it. The main hasstle is that the entire weather block for people who have it setup is held in a single variable so changing the actual block is a bit of a pain. After moving it uptop I've found that even with the full height and a label bar it fits my site just fine and it is afterall an option for only those who want to see it.

You can check out my version at www.scubaboard.com if you like.

Nice site. May I ask which shopping cart you're using?

[why-not]

Tnx that would be nice. I've placed the actual code in forumhome under the navbar but it is to large and it pushed the other tables to far down. If this could be done on a few lines it would be perfect. :)
Hi


Go to the demo and login, and select the default template, and tell if that is what you are wanting!

If it is I will post the change for you!

Hi

Ok,

Go to Styles & Templates >> Search >> 'FORUMHOME'

Open that template up....

Find...


<if condition="$show['forecast']"><if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">$forecast_home[data]<else /><tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_weather')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_weather" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_weather].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[local_weather]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_weather" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_weather]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather"><img border='0' src='$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/weather.gif' alt='$vbphrase[local_weather]' /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%" align="center"><div class="smallfont" align="center">$forecast_home[data]</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody></if></if>


Dlete it and save the update!

Go back to Styles & Templates >> Search >> 'navbar'

Open that template up....

Find...


</div>
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->


Right above '</div>'

Add the following...


<if condition="$show['forecast']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">$forecast_home[data]<else /><tbody>

--edit-- Have it..i had to change the css. :) It looks awesome

[Zelda-King]

Hello! I managed to see your demo. Excellent work!

I've been having a couple of the same issues as I've seen posted here, but I've not found a formula in this thread that's fixed it. I was really hoping to have this fixed without having to bother you as you seem very busy with other people, but I'm not doing very well.

I have the hack installed on my board but;

a) forecast.php itself is blank (save for having "0-ss-0" in the top left hand corner).
b) I can't save the location. I do have custom fields and have altered profile.php accordingly.

My fields 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are edited to fields;
31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 respectively.

Here is the PHP I am using;
/ ####### weather forecast and the forecast options ######

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' || $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
define ( 'DO_WEATHER', 1 );
construct_usercp_nav ( $_REQUEST['do'] );
$templatename = $_REQUEST['do'] . '_display';
$shelltemplatename = 'USERCP_SHELL';
include_once ( './includes/functions_weather.php' );
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'weather' )
{
$new_forecast = forecast_valid ( $bbuserinfo[field31], $bbuserinfo[field32], $bbuserinfo[field33], $bbuserinfo[field34], $bbuserinfo[field35] );
$new_forecast = fetch_forecast ( $new_forecast, 1 );
$customfields = array ();
fetch_profilefields(1);
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['weather_title'];
}

if ( $_REQUEST['do'] == 'places' )
{
if ( !empty ( $_POST['location'] ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET field35=" . addslashes( $_POST['location'] ) . " WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );
$GLOBALS['url'] = 'profile.php?do=weather';
eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
}
else
{
$tpl = places_validate ();
$navbits[''] = $tpl['page_title'];
}
}

if ( $_POST['do'] == 'forecast' )
{
$forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( 6 );

if ( !empty ( $forecast_fields ) )
{
$DB_site->query ( "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield SET userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]$forecast_fields WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" );
}

eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );
You can see how it looks on my board with the following login information;

Username: Test
Password: beer
URL: http://www.gamercrossfire.net/bb
And one other thing: embarrassingly I'm not sure what the following conditions:
(B) Yes, I have allow_url_fopen turned on!
(C) Yes, I have permission to the I/O File system! mean. Everything else is present and correct. I assume C is about file uploading, in which case there's not a problem there.

[Bryan Ex]

And one other thing: embarrassingly I'm not sure what the following conditions:.
Those you can check from your vB admin panel... just scroll down the the bottom for diagnostics and click on php info. Both those items will be listed long with all the other php config settings for your server.

[Zelda-King]

Ah... well I'm all clear for directive B then. I didn't see anything that specifically says 'I/O File System' though. Wat exactly am I looking for?

Oh yes, I found another problem. The locations interferes with my do=editprofile.

EDIT: I've just found a mistake I made. Please ignore my support request until I rectify it. I will give an update shortly.

[nineball]

If you want to display a center block using the forum home template create a new module with the uploaded weather.php file and the adv_portal_world_weather.

Put the weather.php in your modules directory, create a CMPS module with it, and add a new template using the adv_portal_world_weather text file with the same name as the text file.

[Zelda-King]

OK, I actually fixed my problem, but now I get this at the top of the profile page;

Warning: weather_display(./includes/weather/lang/lang_en.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gamercr/public_html/bb/includes/functions_weather.php on line 86

Plus the location is interfering with my custom field 30 and and my field 9 text input is replaced with 37642. Is there something other than profile.php that I need to edit for the custom fields?

Hi

I know what your problem is, somehow you have code for another profile function running into weather, I saw this 3 times yesterday...

Do me a favor....

1. Post these files.... (and I will fix your problem)

./profile.php, ./includes/functions_user.php, ./index.php, ./admincp/profilefield.php


2. tell me the field# <- numbers you have assigned for the 5 weather form inputs


I will you give you all the fixes in just a few min(s)

Open functions_user.php

And change that to -> '$formtype' <- without the quotes, that will fix all the inputs from interfaring with each other, and should slove all your problems!

I already had a custom field, so I am using 6,10. If you didn't then you would use 5,9

// special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )
$w_fields = array ( '6', '10' );

Nope, that don't worked eighter nineball. The error is that it points to forecast.php and it should be (in our case) /forums/forecast.php

This can be done many ways but I think I will only do it one way, so that this final update that will support the AdminCP addon that I will release to control the weather system....
Curiousity has caught my interest... control the weather from admin in what way? The weather reporting is set up by each individual member so what is there for admin to control?

Hello:

I have just one questions for today...
I would like to translate the location name into chinese... how do i do that? can i just replace the english name with chinese? use Shanghai as an example,
in newdb.txt i found the following line:

814', '3', 'Asia', '7', 'China', '', '', '339', 'Shanghai', 'CHXX0116

can i change it "Shanghai" to "上海"

814', '3', 'Asia', '7', 'China', '', '', '339', '上海', 'CHXX0116

then run the newdb.php again to make it work?

> Get a dropdown menu for "Regions" and choose united states
> Choose forecast state, choose a state
> Select forecast location (It's populating this fine) and I choose
> Click Update Location

Nothing happens and it just shows "No forecast selected" on the main page.

I've imported the forecast.sql file and that worked just fine but it's just not updating the forecast location.

Here is a layout of my profile fields:

I wonder if anyone is still supporting this or if we've installed it to now have to de-install it? ERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

[Natch]

Wou will find that if you do the last step first, then complete the rest of the options the whole thing works ...Go right down to the bottom and set in the city first and of course it then goes back to the top of the page.
Then set in the rest of the info but don't reinsert the city name.
Go down to the bottom and select "save changes".
Once I did this the weather for my area was displayed and showed up in the MoFo homepage when I logged in the next time.
Hope this helps!

Keep in mind that it's peek vacation time right now so some people are bound to disappear for a while.

Understood. I just can't seem to understand how everyone got theirs working and I can't. I've made many modifications to my Vbulletin and never had one issue until now... that's all.

step 7 has me stumped I have tried both ways I have nothing showing on the forums

I feel that since there are so many updates that I might have things so screwed up
Sonia I sent you a pm

[xTerMn8R]

This looks like a great addition for my site but I have a few questions before I undertake this Task. My board current has the following hacks installed...

1) vbindex
2) vbxirc
3) shoutbox 1.03
4) Quote it
5)last but not least HTL

I am running vb3.03 with version 4.3.8 of php on a windows 2000 Server.

First question is ...
Are the installation instructions listed in the First post STILL the correct Instructions? There seems to have been a multitude of questions and changes through out this thread, so many that I'm a bit lost and getting scared of trying this.

Is there a way of having this show up on the Portal Page (vbindex) instead of the forum Home?

thanks in advance... and I do believe that some changes to the user and fuction files have been made byu the other hacks.

Peace....

[HC.]

It will not let me change the location
I go through the steps looks like it will change but this is all I get afterwards
any help

[Overseer]

I have no prefix listed, so I ran the change.php. I got a blank page and don't know if anything changed. I am also stumped as to getting the new db in with my existing one. I am very very new to this, any help is appriciated.

Thanks. :nervous:

[HC.]

got it up and running very nice hack

[Overseer]

I was able to create the new batabase by using the browser .php command. What do I do with the forecast.txt file. How can i see if it got tied tothe DB. I also dont' see the weather option anywhere in the user CP.

[Paul9]

Hi,

it seems to be a very good hack... when it works :D. Effectively I follow the instructions and when I go to the user CP, I click on "Local Weather" but then this message appears :

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*)AS total FROM forecast WHERE id = ''
mysql error: La table 'forum.forecast' n'existe pas

mysql error number: 1146

Date: Monday 09th of August 2004 06:20:25 PM
Script: http://127.0.0.1/forums/profile.php?do=weather
[...]

I think I didn't do correctly the step 7, but I don't know how I can insert forecast.sql in my database ? With phpmyadmin ?
An other question : at step 5 we must put an id, so I want to know if it works with 1 ? Because I don't really know what is the meaning of this ID... user id ?

Thank you for your help. ;)

[Paul9]

OK now I use new_db.php with new_db.txt and it seems to work because I have the complete list of cities in control panel :) . But there is a last problem... :(
In cp user I have all the options and I can select or deselect them, but when I update the city, its name doesn't appear in "Local Weather" options. Moreover I always have this message in red :

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --

Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED -- So what is your opinion about this problem please ? :(

I think maybe this problem comes from the step 8 because I am French and I don't understand very good this sentence :

In USERCP_SHELL add this code right blow the header tag
Is the French meaning it : "Dans le template USERCP_SHELL, ajoutez ce code ? droite de la balise du header" ?

So I don't understood this and I put the code in USERCP_SCHELL like this :

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $pagetitle</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body$onload>
$header<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/forecast/css/main.css" />
$navbarIs this right ?

Thank you very much for this hack, and even it doesn't work (I hope not for long ! :) ) it seems very powerful and useful !

Is there someone here who can help us please ? :(

but i'm not french ...:D :D In fact I find this afternoon (it is 1 am in France now) that there is a fault in the explanations because it is write "blow" and we must read "below" so for you it is very easy but not for me because I mixed with Souffler (to blow, blew, blown :D ). :ermm:
But in France we have good wines and good food so I prefer to stay French, even if I don't understand very well English explanations ! :)

Now I understand the good configuration is :

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/forecast/css/main.css" />

Nope. I had this hack installed and it never worked nor did anyone offer up to help make it work. I've since forgotten about it.

That's not quite accurate - you were offered help, ybut you didn't give enough extra information for anyone to be able to help you further.

There have been plenty of installs that have worked - on both heavily hacked and non-hacked boards. The instructions iterate that you should not install this hack unless you r board is stock vB3 - if it's been hacked and you are having problem siwht htis hack, then you need ot reverse all the changes and start again.

Really? I provided plenty of information (read the first post that I put up in this thread about the issue I was having) and why is it that there are plenty of folks reporting the exact same problem/issue that I'm having? If it were only my board, I wouldn't have this issue and it would have been solved a long time ago.

[Paul9]

Ohhh !! Now it's work !!!!!!!
I reinstall vBulletin and then I install this hack and now I have this amazing hack on my board !!! :D :D :D
Well, I want to thank you Sonia for this very nice hack !!

Good night. ;)

[Ntenze]

Natch, when you say "then you need ot reverse all the changes and start again." Do you mean uninstall the hack & start over? Or, Fresh install of vBulletin? I feel like i'm so close to the completion of this hack.. LOL It seems to me there may be an error in one of my templates, phrases or something. But then again i've been wrong before :D
Thank you for your time.

When i click through to setup my weather info ie: Country, State, City, & try to Save Is where i get the error "You have not completed the required field "Forecast Display Type".
"

[Natch]

I mean reverse the changes you made to your vBulletin files and database, and start again.

If you want a hand, please give me a test login to your board and I'll take a look @ it.

[Ntenze]

Thanks Natch.

OK Ntenze (and anyone else who's having troubles with this hack):

It loks like you have missed out some edits, in one of trhe following steps: profile.php Phrases Template insertions Field numbersThis last is the most likely - did you check to see that your field#'s matched the ones in the file modifications you made ?

This is a complex hack but well worth it - please do any modifications carefully and according to the instructions - they are clear and easy to follow if you take it step by step.

[Paul9]

Hi everybody !

the hack works very well but I have a question about the design. In fact I just see the joint picture of why-not and it looks different from my board. See the attached file named weather.gif to see what I have. So is this difference appears after the update ?
In fact I don't update the hack because I don't find this :

(3) find out what option (#) is option : weather in profilefield.php

To do this >> Go To >> left nav >> User Profile Fields >> 'add new profile field'

just click 'continue'........

When the page loads..... >> 'View Page Source'

Look for......

<select name="profilefield[form]" id="sel_profilefield[form]" tabindex="1" class="bginput">

Below the above select name you will see 'Options : Weather'

<option value="?">Options: weather</option>

You want the value where the '?'

In profielfield.php I don't have <option value="?">Options: weather</option>, and I saw all the steps wrotten by why-not but my files seems to be very different from why-not's because for example I don't find this code :

Now open ./profile.php

find this....
'places' => array(
'weather_new',
),

Anybody wants to help a desesperate French boy ? :(

[FrankHolland]

please help me out

I get this message after I try to select my location:

"-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --

Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --"

I searched the whole thread for this but I could only find that the fields have to be correct in profile.php, and they are as far as I know.

Sonia could you please help me out with this, I would really really appreciate your help!

[Beermonster]

First of all great hack, I've installed it took me a while but got there in the end :)

Just one thing, for some reason it displays perfect on one of my styles but on the other it's the same colour as the main style (green) and not blue like it should be so you can't read the text, any ideas?

[Ntenze]

Natch, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you.
1. Field #'s are right triple checked etc.
2. I have checked all php files several times.
3. Fixin to start checking Phrases Then templates.

Thanks again for your help.

Best bet for the checking is the USERCP_SHELL template - hth

Ok, fixed my previous errors, had to do with the fact I was on a pivate lan trying to access a NetBio name (http://linserv) when I typed in the IP and acessed it that way, no more errors, however I have one problem with my tempolate, and I cannot figure out where it went wrong? Seeing how I did a direct copy and paste. Attached is an image of the offending page abd right below is the temopplate code...

BTW, the image is of the 5 day forcast, even the 1 day forcast is messed up.....

[Lostnode]

A little more info

Here are the rest of the images, like I said, everything works create (btw, I implemented the css file, which was wrong cuz it was only pointing to the foler /forcast and not /forums/forcast, still didn;t fix the problem though)

EDIT

Never mind folks, did a repast, seems I missed a <table> tag... LOL all works GREAT and I clicked the Install button.

Awsome script....

[Lostnode]

Ok, last little problem, and I dunno if it can be fixed in any way.

I just singed onto anohter forum that has the weather mod on it, and mine does this as well... attacked are the registration image, and the config image from the UserCP

When you register, you get a number, which I know is very confusing, in the UserCP you get the actual menu, is there any way to either 1. Remove it from the registration page, or 2 make it a selection like it is in the usercp?

will this be possible to work with https sites ?

my apache error log tells me this:

i have edited the url section in the functions_weather with no luck (near the top of file)

thanks very much for the help

[Overseer]

I have been plugging away with this hack, and am getting closer. 2 things. I cannot see the options in the user CP unless I move them to a different display page, such as 'options'. When I can see them, I can choose all options, but I get a 'no forecast selected' when I choose the city I would like to view. Any help is appriciated. Thank you in advance. :ermm:

I have an incompatibility issue with the upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.0.3. If I use the file you made me specially to my own specifications (which works perfectly on 3.0.1) there are no profile field clashes but on the weather page, the Weather Location shows up as the numeric value in a text window instead of saying that actual location (and there's no button to select one). Now if I apply the file edits freshly to vB 3.0.3 files, that DOES show properly but I get a clash with one of my profile fields in 'edit profile'. The problem seems (as before when I installed the hack) to be with functions_user.php.

As far as I can make out, this is the key bit of code:

The original code that worked on 3.0.1 was;
if ($profilefield['type'] == 'input' AND $profilefield['hidden'] == '1' AND $fomtype == '6' )
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_weather') . '";');
}
else if ($profilefield['type'] == 'input')
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_textbox') . '";');
}
else if ($profilefield['type'] == 'textarea')
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_textarea') . '";');
}That's the code that now shows the Weather Location as a text input box with the numeric value.

The code below is the other code... which leaves uncached weather templates anyway;
if ($profilefield['type'] == 'input' AND $profilefield['hidden'] == '1')
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_weather') . '";');
}
else if ($profilefield['type'] == 'input')
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_textbox') . '";');
}
else if ($profilefield['type'] == 'textarea')
{
eval('$tempcustom = "' . fetch_template('userfield_textarea') . '";');
}
They appear to be the same except for this bit;
AND $fomtype == '6'

Hello All,

I follow the instruction to the last bit. However, my system fail to update the Forecast Location. I went thru to the process of selecting the country, states etc. without error. At the end it fails to update the location.

My userfields are kinda wacky they are 7,9,10,11,12

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Zelda-King]

It's ok, I fixed my problem. 'fomtype' should be 'formtype'. This had been addressed before and I'd partially forgotten about it. Yeah, so it works fine on 3.0.3. :)

[HC.]

How do you unistall this since we can not get any support
I have reloaded my back up but still have local weather in the usercp under misc........
This has to go on my board since there is no support with problems we have

any help would be great

[Overseer]

You have to remove the templates from the admincp, put back the original files that you altered. Basically just work backwards from the end of the install and revert the files back to the originals with backups. The user profile manager has to be altered as well. You could also use PHPAdmin to drop the tables that were created as well.

[HC.]

I have uploaded all backup files but still when someone new registers it has the forecast options still in there
How can I get rid of this

[Overseer]

You have to have missed something. I have uninstalled this hack and nothign appears for anyone. The screens that the new users are seeing is part if the user profile manager area in the admincp. If you have removed all the new template changes, you can't see the new screens. If you can create me a test account I can log into your forum and try to help you. Let me know. Good luck.

[HC.]

here are the files that I can remember that were edited
profile.php
admincp/profilefield.php
includes/fuctions_user.php
Did I miss any?

[mrboz]

anybody know how i can make this use my forum's style and not the one in the css file that comes with it? :ermm:

[Zelda-King]

If you're referring to the index page add-on you can just change the .css URL in your FORUMHOME template to that of your forum's style sheet... but that doesn't look very good.

That is an issue really... especially for darker styles or those that use certain flourescent colour combinations.

You could also consider taking the code from the .css file (for this hack) and adding that code to the CSS in your admin cp style options, and then just editing the colours. The way this hack currently works, I think that's the easiest option. The only thing I don't like about that is you have to use hexidecimal values. You can't just put "alt1", etc... so if you were to alter your style you'd need to manually chnage those colour settings.

[Coyote75]

I get a 404 not found in my user profile field when using my admin cp.

[Wential]

I was considering installing this. Based on the posts I've been reading, is it more trouble than it's worth?

[Coyote75]

im thinking the only problem I am having is the lack of support right now. This really is an amazing hack and would love to have it work. But I feel I found it to late and now will miss out on something simply awesome.

[The Realist]

I have it working 100% on my forums, but I will say the developer sorted the problems out for me.

Regarding the developer, she was talking to me a few weeks ago on MSN and said she would be back in 10 minutes cos she was picking her son up from baseball. So far she's not come back on MSN or these forums.

Hopes she's ok?

But if you can solve your problems its well worth the hassle and trouble to get it working.

[Overseer]

Just a thought. Did you go inside the database and remove the querys that you added for the hack? I am not really skilled in PHP and have learned more from this hack than anything else. Let me know. Can I log into your forum and take a look for you? MIght be the easiest way.

[Wential]

Ack, I installed it and got all the updates Sonia posted. But for some reason, I still can't save a location in the User/CP. All it says is:

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --

Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --

pm me and I will give you my log in info

I have installed the hack, including the forumhome template addition.

I am getting an error in profile.php

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/williams/public_html/profile.php on line 3

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/williams/public_html/profile.php on line 3

I cannot figure this ;ast problem out. I'm not very well versed in php, though i have successfully installed other hacks and addons, as well as many other scripts without problem.

Any idea how I can fix the profile page?

[Wential]

Can't help until you tell us what you're line 3 says in profile.php.

Try removing this to see if it's what I think it is:
Start at line 2, don't remove the php code on line 1
