Oh, boy this is a monster hack.

Things have changed with weather.com remote calls, too. The Auth ID format has a partnerID and license key now for xoap downloads, as this script from forecast.php is about....

PHP Code:

function new_data ( $id, $type )
{
    $na = array ();
    $send = $type == '1' ? 'cc=*' : 'dayf=6';
    $code = urlencode ( $id['id'] );
    $out = file_get_contents ( 'http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/' . $id['code'] . '?' . $send . '&unit=s&prod=xoap&par=1005217190&key=2e4490982af206e0' );
    $out = process_xml ( $out ); 


At coolmon.arsware.org their weather.com vbs script has a huge legal disclaimer on it, with a warning that to use a modified weather.com access xoap script you must get a SDK and that ID and Key to legally download content from weather.com (just a reminder for site admins). This mod needs to be redone to include both for the peace of mind of site owners.

Script writers can gain both at:

http://www.weather.com/services/xmloap.html

And yes, a cron job has to be setup to download weather.com details. Recommended setting is 1hr or more (since weather.com updates hourly).

I can't imagine who would be willing to undergo such a huge task of re-designing this. Whew!

[ChrisLM2001]

It's possible, as someone has done it for the desktop at the Coolmon site.

Perhaps a request in order? As weather.com weather stats are top notch.

Shame isn't it cause just by the original hack post it looks a great hack indeed.

Ismba you mention the update that sonia posted, is that in the latest .zip download or within another post in the thread?

Could you perhaps give us some clues as to how you did it different to the install provided please mate..

@Ismba
I didn't see you asking for support in this thread. Contacting a Hack coder by PM without previously posting in the public thread and being asked to take it private, is by most people considered "not done". Most people would not even react on unsolicited PM's. I would say you can be glad that you got a first reaction at all.

I suggest you try to ask your support questions just here in the thread next time.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

@Ismba

Maybe i read over it, but could you please give me a link where the coder say that anybody, or you, can ask for support by mail?

All i can find is the coder asking some specific users to contact him by mail on some specific problems, after those users couldn't be helped here in the thread.

And yes it would be nice if all coders would have unlimited time to spend on supporting their unpayed work here, and also to be contact by any means. But this isn't a perfect world.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Actually this is a 300+ post thread. Took me less then a minute to search for the coder making a statement like that.

I hope however (not for me, but for yourself) that you now do understand that asking in PM's is not the way to get the best/fastest answers.

$forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( option_id );
