Location Based Weather Template Mod · **Released**: 09-30-2003

guys, this is my very first attempt at a sort-of serious modification...

i run a motorcycle web site, www.rocketmadness.com. it's important for the riders to know the local weather conditions and the members range from all over Louisiana and the south.

so i devised a template hack to pull the member's location field and insert it into the form's value field for submission to weather.yahoo.com. you could easily substitute it for any weather site's form...

installation is a snap!

acp | templates | modify
locate postbit templates
locate postbit

scroll down to where you see the 'Posts: $post[posts]< br>
add the following before the < td>:

PHP Code:


			
<form method=get action="http://search.weather.yahoo.com/search/weather2" name=form1 target="_new">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="p" VALUE="$post[field2]" size=21>&nbsp;<font size="1" face="Verdana"><input type=submit 

value="My Weather"></form>

now, on each post, every member has a button that says 'My Weather' that takes them to their local weather conditions and forcast!

YOU COULD DO THIS WITH ANY FORM!!! add a user field to their profiles for favorite sports team and submit it for the latest sports scores and events!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
