Problem With Desktop Weather

Hey everybody don't know what happened but all of a sudden my desktop weather script has gone hay wire. everything worked fine yesterday but now in my five day outlook the first day says never and the hi/low temp is N/A and the second one says tonight. Then for my today weather the temperature just come up as N/A. Can anybody help me out with this one? (I included a screenshot to help explain it better)

has to do with the weather.com site, there are problems all over

#63316

I would love to know what it is, because mine got all fouled up too. i bet it's somethign that weather.com did to their site. it did work when i switched the day parameters 1 number up. e.g. tonight would be 1 as opposed to 0, tomorrow would be 2 instead of 1, etc.

but why it did it, i do not know.

#63317

help! :blink: the n/a are starting to take over one by one.

C'mon people!

Don't panic! It happened for a couple of times and everybody should know (not necessarily from their own experience but thanks to reading all previous 'heelp! N/A!!' topics) that weather.com likes to mess with its contents. IMO we should wait for the situation to calm down and then maybe ask Judge to update his baby :rolleyes:

I would suspect that The Weather Channel made a slight, unnoticable change in the way they lay out their website. Unnoticeable, if you dont use a Samurize weather script. This has happned to me, also. I'm glad it's just not my computer doing it

seems like they change once every month or two. kindof a pain... it would be good to hook this up to a government site - they never change.

Anyone heard of a fix for this yet? I'm eager to get my weather working again.

A user on the Samurize forums has posted a modification that you can use in the script for Desktop Weather.

Click for the wonders!!@@

This fix works, because I am currently using it. Just follow the directions on page 4 of that thread, and you should have no problems.

Thank you very much for pointing that out.

#64105

thanks, and thanks to etiwanda (other thread) for showing me the same fix. (Y)

i added the code and i still get n/a for the current temperature, which is the same problem i had before i added the code. do i need to wait a while before it starts working?

i've already deleted temp files and reloaded the config.

also, will it work if we change the site to another one that doesn't change it's page so often?

edit: it's working now. neat! thanks guys! will it continue to work even if weather.com changes their site? i'm not a coder, so i don't understand it. :shy:

dreamz, can u post your .vbs script please? because i've did it and it still aint working.

Thanks in advance

#64154

here's what i have now.

all i did was opened up the script in wordpad (not notepad, since it looked jumbled there). found getCacheFile(mins) or something, after End Function, i pasted the code there.

then i pasted the other line of code according to the instructions.

DesktopWeather_script.rar

cool..Thanks a lot :own:

#64177

thank you dreamz. :bow:

#64196

let me know if that works for you guys! i assume it does.

#64205

it works but it only shows your current position and it wont change it into my current destination

#64239

did you change the zip to yours?

if you did, i have no idea why it would show my info rather than yours.

#64243

Hi,

It dowsnt work for me, with other script without the changes some things worked, with this one everything is N/A , and i already changed to my city.

Thanks.

Bye.

#64245

my script works for sure, as i'm using it right now. and you changed your zip.

try deleting the temp files and then reloading the config. leave samurize running for a while, and then it'll start to read. mine was stuck at n/a for a while too, but now it's working. just give it some time.

#64246

hi,

It have been awhile now and i still dont have the two html files that samurize retrive from the weather site, dont know whats going on here, maybe the w3 should be changed to www or beta ?

Thanks.

#64248

i get the same thing rissol. and i did change the zip code. still get your destination.

#64251

hi,

Still no luck , dont know whats the prob.

Later.

#64256

I posted my script over at samurize.com, if you are having problems with dreamz' script you can try mine in this thread.

Good luck!
