Vbadvanced - Weather Channel Module

thanks to dsboyce8624 to fixing this code

This code is based around cLord's weather module

All i did was some simple changes to his code and added the weather channels code


What Does It do?

This gives users a field to add the ZIP CODE once added they will see there local weather on your main Vba


1. In your Admincp - User Profile Fields - Goto "Add New User Profile Field" - Choose single line text box - Create new field titled "Zip Code".

2. Admincp - User Profile Fields - Click "User Profile Field Manager" and look for the Zip Code field number - In my forums its 6.

3. Admin CP - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_weather".

Now put this code into the template:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%"> 
<tr> 
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Weather Conditions</b></span></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont"> 

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['userid']"> 
<span class="smallfont">Registered members can see their local weather forcast here.<br /><br /><phrase 

1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[not_a_member_yet_register_now]</phrase></span> 
<else /> 
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field5] !=''"> 

<script src='http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/$bbuserinfo[field5]?template=GENXV&par=null&unit=0&key=05afc55b05db4d084c1497353310d74b' alt="Weather for $bbuserinfo[field66] provided by that-sucks.net." border="0"></a></script> 

<else />Add your <A HREF="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile">Zip Code</A> to show weather forcast. 
</if> 
</if> 
</span> 
</td> 
</tr> 
</table> 
<br/>

MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THE $bbuserinfo[field6] TO YOUR FIELD #... say yours is 4 it would be like this $bbuserinfo[field4]

Now Last Step

4. Admincp - vBa CMPS - Add Module

Module Title - Weather
Module Identifier - keep blank
OR Template to Include - weather
Activate - yes
Select the column *Right or Left*

DONE

Will this work for overseas as well? or just US members?

You can look at overseas forcast, but for the zipcode i'm not sure.

Give it a try and tell me how it goes?

ok I installed this and Ive been wanting someone to write this up I couldnt get it to work correctly.

I have one problem now though, my quicklinks doesnt work it just reloads the page. When I shut it off the quicklinks works fine.

Any suggestions?

[boo.3]

what do you mean by quick links?

the navbar?

[dsboyce8624]

The idea is nice, and I used it, but you should tell people that it's attached to your site and that they should register for thier own on http://www.weather.com I also removed the ads.

Great idea though.

PS - Since you have some problems (the script seems to be in twice or something.) Here is my template code

PHP Code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Weather Conditions</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont">

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<span class="smallfont">Registered members can see their local weather forcast here.<br /><br /><phrase 

1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[not_a_member_yet_register_now]</phrase></span>
<else />
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field5] !=''">

<script src='http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/$bbuserinfo[field5]?template=GENXV&par=null&unit=0&key=05afc55b05db4d084c1497353310d74b' alt="Weather for $bbuserinfo[field66] provided by that-sucks.net." border="0"></a></script>

<else />
<A HREF="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile">Add Zip Code</A> to show weather forcast.
</if>
</if>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>

I removed the top script statement you had in there.

Then replaced your script (the second one) with the one weather.com gave me. I edited it with the changes you made (the user zip field and so forth) and saved.

Yeah in the navbar..well mine is in the header.

If I enable this and I click on that button it reloads the page. When I shut it off everything works fine again.

I have no idea why that would happen.

**edit** I also have people from overseas, is there a way to get this to work for them?

[boo.3]

ok i tryed your code and it didn't work for me it said i needed to enter zipcode?

did you get that error
