I guess you didn't do Steps 2 and/or 3 in the instructions.

Yes, I know what English weather is like: When I was researching the new raw data layout for this hack, I had to find what a bunch of different forecasted-weather-type codes meant (how a code number in the raw data translated to meaningful text, which is what you see in the forecast under the icons). I did this by randomly checking weather forecasts for various cities on the MSNBC weather page, then looking at the raw data for the same city to see what code was associated with what description. Well, I solved a lot of that by looking up cities in England, which is where I got most of the rain-related codes, LOL! "AM Showers", "AM Light Rain", "Light Rain/ Wind", haha...about a dozen variations of what we in the US just call "rain"! :D

As for your actual question...The time comes straight from MSNBC; it's part of the raw data. I'll see if there's a way I can make it localized.

The raw data has this bit in it:

08/05/2002 18:00:00

As you can see, I just echo that in the display. I don't even know what time zone it is, so I'm wondering how you can tell?

On MSNBC is says ET somewhere near the time so I guess that's Eastern Time (shouldn't that be EST?).

Anyway, I guess there must be a way to convert the text back to time format and re-format it. I'll have a go and see if I can get it working.

Thanks again,
Chris

It probably says ET so it's correct if it's EDT or EST. Yeah, there's a way to convert it into a workable time format; I looked into it once, but never did anything with it.

Is there a way to have the Last Update Time set to the timezone and time/date format of our sites? :)

You have read Post #s 60 and 63-66, right?

Hi,

When i click to Detailed Forecast or Change Settings i see the following error code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare convert_temp() in /home/username/www.forum.de/vbulletin/weather_functions.php on line 4

what can i do?

Yes, I read all of that. What I meant was, is there a way you can parse the time after you collect the raw data (instead of just echoing it) to match that of the site so everything stays in a site standard format.

Did you upload the new weather.php? It sounds like you are still using the old one. Get the new one out of the ZIP file and upload it to your forums directory. Also, in your forums directory, delete the file named weather_functions.php, which is not used anymore.
