Hello friends and to the team of Shape5,  Wink

I'm new here and have a question!

This weather module is very good, but can you change the language in German?

Thank you!

Also, is it possible to use this in the UK? I've tried entering my own and some other Post Codes and it doesn't seem to work with them.

Unfortunately there really isn't a way to change the language without editing the "weather.class.php" file included with this module.

Look for:

"http://xml.weather.yahoo.com"

You'd have to replace this with the correct XML news feed for the corresponding country.  We are not sure what the XML address is for other countries.

I've got it working now. I didn't need to alter the files (Except for a couple of spelling errors 'preasure' and 'celcius'). All I did was enter my 'Location ID' into the Zip code box and so far, so good.
More details on Location ID at http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/

@jay973: May I ask what exactly was your "Location ID" please? I had a read on that link, and it looks like if your zip has only 4 digits( I'm an Aussie, so mine does), you have to put XX5431 as the zip. I assume( bad move, I know) that Australia's "ID" is AU (?)
Would love to get this great module working, any help would be greatly appreciated.
LOVE this template Grin
Thanks

Yeah, that's what I thought. I tried AUXX5000 ( which is actually Adelaide, because I doubt my tiny town would show on Yahoo weather)...but all I get is whatever zip was default in the module...and I can't find WHERE it is. I've looked in every php file of the module for it. Sad

Hi

I went to http://weather.yahoo.com/

I entered my location or postcode where it says Enter city or zip code:

The location id is then at the end of the url for the page that then displays.

Entering the location id in the module admin where it asks for zipcode then worked and the module displayed correctly.

Cheers

The only annoying thing is that the location displays as

Loughborough, , UK

with 2 commas.

Does anybody know how to amend this?

Thanks

Hi friends,
Thank you for the many answers!

Unfortunately there really isn't a way to change the language without editing the "weather.class.php" file included with this module.

According jonahh should "weather.class.php" processed,
unfortunately I can not even!

Can someone from you?  (for the German language!)

I Thank you in advance!

Love Regards  Smiley

The zip is not included in any of the files, if you use the site shaper it will be included in this and is stored in your mysql database.  But you should be able to delete it and then resave.  If not try uninstalling the module and reinstalling as the module files themselves do not include the zip.

Hi jonahh

Any ideas with the formatting issue.  The title shows as

Loughborough, , UK

with 2 commas in it.

Any way to change it or is this just what's displaying from the feed?

Thanks

Thanks for that Martin! Had partial success....Shows weather for Yongala, which is a fair way from my place ( no biggie though), but it has "AS" ( which I think is the Yahoo weather code for Australia) after the town name. If it was "SA" instead it would at least have the State right LOL ( It would be nice if us Aussies could be a bit better "represented" by Yahoo and Google Wink ) There's a thought! I'll go look and see if Yahoo.au has the same weather thingy

Thank  you too,  Jonahh, I'll certainly make a note of that for future reference Smiley


Edited to add:
Well, I did find the Aussie Yahoo weather thingy. It did a slightly better job, though I had to use Adelaide as the City( which is over 300km South of me lol). Interestingly, it gave me the same problem you had Martin: it shows as " Adelaide,,AS". Am going to see if maybe that "pre-text" part of the module will let me add some clarification text.

Mine does the same thing - title, but no weather information displayed.  I've got the yahoo ID entered in per the above directions, but nothing displayed....
