WTG and I figured out that if you are an "Undeletable, unalterable user" in config.php this will not save your location.

Open config.php look for:

// ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******

and blank out your user number that will be there. (Probably the ONLY user number there.)

Reload config.php to your server and BLAMMO! it works.

i have installed quite a few hacks now, and made mods my self to my forums. but this has got to be the most pain in the arse mod/hack to install... its taken me 2 hours so far of reading not very clean instructions.

I think its time to give up... shame as i really wanted this..

anyone test this on vb3.0.5?

Hi,

I get the following each time I try to input a city, I think the problem is that my field numbers are different, for the weather hack they are between 11 & 15, anyone got an idea what edits contain the field information?

thanks

-- NO FORECAST SELECTED --

Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display

It loks like you have missed out some edits, in one of trhe following steps:

• profile.php
• Phrases
• Template insertions
• Field numbers

This 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.

Hi,

The fix for the problem I had above was changing the field numbers below to the ones I wanted, and I also changed the QUERY to the last number of the field, it worked for me, and I am very happy with the installed hack

taffy

In profile.php

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

Thanks, I spent all night yesterday and almost given up, but this little hint helped a lot. Now Facing only one problems. It is not showing in UserCP Profile Menu bar for some reasons. I have to figure out where I made mistake or what is missing. Any quick help is highly appreciated.


Overall a great hack and now working for me. Wondering, does this hack require Cronjobs or does it work automatically and fetch weather information we refresh a page. Anyone have information on what changes need to be done on weather_db.php for cron ?


Thanks & Regards,
MBH

I ended up with the same solution you have............................................. you're right, this would be an incredible hack if the instructions were more clear and if it worked like the other hacks, however, it doesn't.

[ambrosious]

Alright, I did everything right again, I think, but cannot get it to display on forumhome. Any ideas?
