Profile Enhancements - Accuweather - Local Weather Information on Profile Page

vBulletin Accuweather Modification
Brought to you by: PureTalkForum.com / kovichm@puretalkforum.com

This Template Modification is a simple vBulletin Profile Enhancement Feature. While it was initially planned to use this mod to affect a member's postbit, it was ultimately decided it would be more efficient and professional to add a tab to the member's profile page. However, I have added the ability to add it to your postbit as well. It's your choice.

This mod pulls information from a profile field where the user inputs his zipcode and it gathers data from the Accuweather Database. It displays some general information regarding the member's weather conditions.

Complete Installation Instructions are included and even the most inexperienced Administrator would be able to install this. There is nothing to upload. All you need to do is make a few simple template changes. The modification is extremely simplistic but it gets the job done. I will be creating some more advanced features in the near future.

If you require support, you may post here or e-mail me directly.

Please click 'Installed' - thank you!

It shows up somewhat, but it is just too wide for postbit legacy. I tried changing the height and width some but just couldn't come up with anything that would allow it to display properly. I'm sure sure if you can create something that will display in postbit legacy or not? If not, then you might consider making something that will display it in the signatures. I will gladly pay to have this done as well as adding a members group preference. I would like for only certian members groups the privilege to display the weather.

I concur. This is a mod that many of us could use. Attached is what mine looks like.

Is there a way just to get (take the attached pic for example) the sun, Sunny and 87? And then maybe have it as a third column, maybe either before or after the member's stats.

I got this problem.

But I am having another one.

I as administrator can see every bodies weather (postbit) but as registered members they see everybody as NY still. I am thinking it is a user group permission problem. But I do not see where it is, I am sure I am missing something, please help.
