Same question... still unanswered..

Strange: I always get all the info displayed.

I think it has something to do with the server settings. Maybe my server doesn't have something running that it needs to pull the temperatures... ?? Dunno.. everything works but the Temp.. but I don't even get the temperature on the forecast page. Weird..

Nobody else has had this problem?

hello i was uninstalling this and suddenly got this error.

nvm i fixed it :)

i took out the code from the index and admin functions files then went to my mysql and deleted the weather tables and got this after, did i forget something somewhere.

sup people...this is buggin the hell outta me.......everytime i try to run the sql files......my browser "page cannot be displayed" shows that page........im tired.....any ideas from anyone....thanx

Peace

The files are too big - you need to break them up into smaller sql files.

Has anyone figured out why the temperature doesn't display on some web servers but everything else about this mod works fine? :)

Yeah, the temperature doesn't show up on my site either. So I disabled it for now, since the temperature is one of the most important details. Bummer.. I really wanted to use this hack. :(

One thing I noticed on my testboard is that if the "Country" you choose to display data is rarely shown on their site, or tv channel, it ussually has no info at all.

-lucky me-

We're both in the US, and the no temperature thing happens no matter what country, state, city, ect..ect.. you choose.

I wish it were that simple, but it's not. Something isn't right with the code.

Wrong! - I have no problems at all with this hack... I always get info (except once) even in my local testboard I get info.

As I told you, I did some tests changing country, city, etc and I have never get some info on some of them... Though Im lucky that I get info for my country.

(Read your PM)

WRONG! lol... Just because it works on your server doesn't mean everyone elses is configured the same or that it works on theirs.

Read your PM...

As I stated before SOME servers run fine with this hack as others do not. There are multple people with this same problem check this very thread. I have 40+ mods installed and not a single problem with one but this one. Actually this one works, it just doesn't show the temperature no matter what city, state, country, continent, ect..ect..ect.. you set it to. There's nothing wrong with the way I've entered the code. PlurPlanet has had this same problem on one of his test servers as well. He's also applied, unapplied, then reapplied the mod to that same server with the same results just as I have and others.

2. Create new tables in your database using the file create_tables.txt. You can copy the entire contents of the file and
paste into the query window in phpMyAdmin, or you could run each query individually through telnet. Please ask in at
vbulletin.org if you need help in this regard.

can somebody please explain this to me so i can understand what i need to do. thanks!

phpMyAdmin is a database administration tool which lets you run remote queries to create, alter, copy, or drop tables/fields from your MySQL database. You can download it here: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

Once you've installed phpMyAdmin, you simply copy the query from the hack and paste it into the query window and hit the "go" button.

I believe there's also hacks availible here which allow you to run queries in your ACP. Check the "how to install a hack" thread. Maybe there's more info there.

Julio,
Other people have had the same problem with the missing temps and I'm absolutley positive that I've installed the hack correctly, so I'd have to agree with 350Chevy that its something else.

I just checked the weather_userdata table in my database and the fields for temp, realfeel, and all the forecasthighs & forecastlows are empty. I looked at the "insert into weather_userdata" code in weather.php to see if I could find any errors, but it looks fine to me. So all I can figure is that it has something to do with how its retrieving the data from the weather site. *shrugs*

Does anyone know how to turn this into a non-vB add-on? I've been looking for a PHP Weather script for another site of mine but I haven't been able to find one that works like this one.

I can create the database and add the tables and upload the images but it's the vB templates that have me confused. I need to turn the templates into .php files.

This is a great hack

I agree, and would like to say "Thanks Again", our members love this hack.

What a great hack. Installed beautifully and really looks nice.

I know it has Midhurst and Barrie, Ontario, Canada with it. I was wondering if and how I can add Midland, Ontario, Canada?

New problem, just started today!

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home2/www/katanaplanet/forums/index.php on line 621

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.msnbc.com:80 in /home2/www/katanaplanet/forums/index.php on line 621

Does this happen because msnbc.com is down or cannot be connected to by my site? Or is there some other explanation?

I guess no one cares that this hack doesn't work anymore?

uploaded all files and still get same error

Got it work.. but the [forecasticon*] not working. Where would this be located to fix?

I am always getting a white box with an X in it for the icon. This is the URL of the icon, http://www.mysite.com/forums/images/weather/.gif As you can see it is always trying to find an image icon that is .gif no matter what the weather is, and I don't have a .gif image icon.

I have a quick question... does anyone have an upgrade procedure from the original to the current version? I was starting to try to figure one out but gave up and decided to see if anyone else had one.

I tried to make the changes suggested way back when to the weather.php, but that didn't work.

it will not show the images?

how can i fix that

*bump*

read post #1 in this thread -- it provides detailed instructions on how to upgrade if you were running the old MSNBC feed, started losing data, etc.

Doesn't help you folks running the latest version, which properly accesses The Weather Channel feed, if you're not getting data for some reason...but it works fine for me (and I was getting data only erratically before I found the upgrade and realized the feed had switched sources.)

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.

Mike

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.
