No idea what you're talking about.

This passes your zip code to the url, so users with their zip code entered in the profile field will just see their weather without having to type in their zip code each time.

Try it, you'll see what I mean.

FWIW, I had to change this line:

Code:

Add your <A HREF="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}">$/profile.php?do=editprofile">Zip Code</A> to show weather forcast.

to this:

Code:

Add your <A HREF="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/profile.php?do=editprofile">Zip Code</A> to show weather forecast.

to fix the link in the widget when there is no zip code showing.

(VB4.0.7)

Thanks!

Found it a little hard to understand also.

Would you please be so kind as to maybe clear up the details?

In that code he posted you will see fieldXX and if you look a little further you'll see field8

Replace both fieldXX and field8 with the profile field number that you created for the zip code.

That's the fist part.

Second part, do what aenable did in his post.

3rd part, Take that whole code and put it inside the new vbcms_widget_weather template

Then create your static html widget and copy that same code into Configure.

If you have more than one forum skin, you'll have to create a vbcms_widget_weather for each template.

For instance, I have 11 skins so I had to make 11 new templates but configure the widget only one time.

Agreed. I'm no newb, but this thread needs some serious step by step instructions or guidance.

The first post is nothing but step by step instructions. I'm not sure how to make it any clearer than that. Not trying to sound rude, but I really don't know what else to say.
