I created this thread to pool information, in the hopes of finding a solution to a problem which plagues a minority of users.
The problem is that the weather configs available for SysStats do not seem to fetch the data. Instead of displaying the temperature value and the weather icon, we are instead shown '%s' and no icon whatsoever. (We have edited configs to work as it should; image paths, zipcode, etc have been edited according to instructions and advice provided on A-S.)
If you are part of this minority, please post any relevant information which may help solve the problem. Things such as internet connection, shell used, SysStats host program installation path (e.g. AveDesk install) and method, and other possibly pertinent items. (Since, I probably will miss some myself, I'll update my entry as others post data as well.)
Connection: Cable modem - Toshiba with D-Link router
Shell: BB4Win
OS: Windows XP Pro w/ sp1 - updated w/ all Critical updates
Firewall: KerioPF 2.1.5
Host path: d:\utilities\AveDesk\ - fresh zip install
SysStats path: \Docklets\SysStats
XMLmeter's URL: http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/11208?cc=*&unit=e
Other: I've tried some troubleshooting.
- Seeing if it works with ObjectDock. (no)
- Moving SysStats from \Docklets to \Desklets.
- Verifying Weather Docklet works.
- Verifing XMLmeter's URL works.
- Loading AveDesk only with a SysStats weather config.
- Using zipcode or USNYXXXX
- Turned off KerioPF.
- Removed AveDesk from Kerio's safelist and checked to see if it tries to connect when using a weather config. (it doesn't)
