Miscellaneous Hacks - Weather: Current Conditions

Display current weather conditions, updated hourly. See the attached screenshot.

Requirements:

• file_get_contents, fopen, fwrite, fclose
• rss feed from the weather.gov website

This means that you need PHP configured to allow you to use the listed functions.

Plus the only feed tested with this mod is from weather.gov which is not worldwide.

Man you are on the roll. It's nice to see you back in force.

This is a nice mod, but I would much rather it access for EACH user their zip code (user defined field) and tell what their weather is/will be on a separate template.

Problem is, with users scattered all over the US, they dont care about weather here.

Would this be hard to do?

Thanks much

Thanks for the thanks.

@Doctor Death: haven't thought about it, current weather is probably best for a community site, though you might try checking the "Similar Mod" box in this thread for ideas.

Would like to see how accurate it is

There is nothing that does what I suggested... I would think that having a user defined field of zip code and if there is something in it, use that as the index lookup, and if not, use the server zip code.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Here is code to add a link. Maybe someone else can figure out how to get it to actually display. This link is for your navbar.

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldXX]">
<a href = "http://www.weather.com/weather/local/$bbuserinfo[fieldXX]?lswe=$bbuserinfo[fieldXX]&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared&from=whatwhere">weather</a>
</if>

Replacing XX with the field that you set in the ACP.
