I forgot to mention, I use Barrie, Ontario, Canada and Midhurst, Ontario, Canada and it does it with both.

Great

I must say it took me a while to get there but now she is going no problem. Thanks for a great hack.

One question though! How do I move the weather information from the top of my forums page to the bottom below the current users online?

Cheers

Rob

Before I go, How would I go about adding a box on my home page: www.sccportal.org.uk to show the same information in a smaller format?

Any help at all would be great

need some help here, first off this is a sweet hack....installed it with ease...but there is only 1 problem...for example certain areas like barrie Canada doesnt show a gif for the current weather conditions..ive inserted a sample of what i mean....

as you can see the link leads to //.gif....and in the file there is no such picture....is this normal or did i install something wrong...?

This is normal. Just means that the feed has no image applied to it. Unfortunately there is no way to name a gif to just .gif to fill in the blank.

Just the way the feed is....wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you for the reply Mike. ;) ill change it to something closer like toronto or something..lol


cheers!

Dang you know hwo tricky it was to get this to work with VBindex, whew!

Awesome man!

Actually, you CAN name a transparent gif to .gif and upload it. It'll work.

Better yet, use the .gif file I uploaded somewhere in this thread that tells users when the weather server is offline. :)

for those of you who are sick of timeouts from www.msnbc.com - just change the code from www.msnbc.com to their IP address and you won't have any more connection timeouts.

I know if they change their IP address you're SOL, but at least your page doesn't site there waiting for the connection to msnbc to timeout any longer.

since I made the change it works great I have not had a single timeout error.

I am just curious if anyone has put this into a cron script?

I want to use this, but I don't want it to slow down my pages while it retrieves the weather.
