I'm using the same background with the DTCalendar object. Looks good!

Great object! But a bug report: With "Condition Cloudy" and time is at nite, it does not use the moon-based partly-cloudy or mostly-cloudy images, it shows the sun-based "cloudy.png". A sun image at night. That's bad.

Brilliant... but any chance of a UK version? I want to use it but can't.

If not that's cool.

If you produced an animated version of this object, it would be fantastic!

FYI I wrote a "sanity check" fix for the "sun displayed at night" problem if anyone's interested.

It looks good, and was working fine, but for some reason now I'm getting a:
"There's been a script error in object 'XMLweatherbg'" and then says:
(null)
Line: 224
Code:
(not available)

I got mine figured out, It somehow started to work by itself again. This is a great object, I can't wait for Celcius. Animated would make it the best boject ever

To get degrees celcius, edit the script to modify the following lines:

58, 63, 75, 87

What you need to do is enclose the Object.PersistStorage() with the conversion function. For example, line 58 will look like this after conversion:

DesktopX.Object("tmp").Text = Int((Object.PersistStorage("tmp")-32)/0.18)/10 & "�C"

Bold section is the part that is different.

I hope that was easy to do...

Thanks Tombalaci, you also can edie lines 96, 98, and 104 if ytou want the extended forcast to be converted.
For example, line 96 looks like this:
DesktopX.Object("hi_low_" & i).Text = int((Object.PersistStorage("hi_" & i)-32)/0.18)/10 & "" & "/" & int((Object.PersistStorage("low_" & i)-32)/0.18)/10 & ""

I'm currently testing an object that will be configurable for temp. measurement (by double clicking on the current temp). It is done, if all goes well I will probably upload it tomorrow.

ok.. I guess i'm dumb

I went to weather.com to check what my zipcode was (Montreal, Canada) but just can't find a way.. sigh

Where do I go on the site to get that info?

Thx

Jachera use this zip code for montreal. CAXX0301

It will be in the address bar of your browser. For example after you select your city, country the URL will be something like http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/CAXX0301. You need to select the code that appears after "local/".

for metric units extend the http get string with the parameter '&unit=m'.
look @ http://www.deviantart.com/view/3457229/ for another layout

Comment #39 Friday, October 24, 2003 1:21 AM
Thanks for the info jot-wee this is much more robust than doing the conversion. Thanks! I'll have updated code ready soon!

Once you get with Unit=m, you'll still have to decide to display an F or a C next to the number. Just remember...
