Mini Weather (English Beta) WM6.1

[xfaith]

Hello everyone,

With permission from the creator of mini weather I am posting an english version of the program.

Currently is shows weather conditions in the appointment slide panel.
There is no icons in this version for weather conditions.


I will post screen shots later today when I get home from work.

I have Mini Weather installed. Fantastic. Bu how can I have the reading in Centigrade instead of Fahrenheit?

Thanks

[xfaith]

I think maybe if you switch from www.google.com to somethingl ike www.google.co.uk (this is in the miniconfig1.ini)

I will ask the developer.

I have been googleing this whole evening but failed. www.google.co.uk only give temperature in C for current condition but not tomorrow and the following day. Even that it was indicated as ??F. It should be ??C. I believe that F is hard-coded.

Hopefully the developer will improve further on this product.

Thanks for your help anyway.

great product....needs icons that shows the clouds for cloudy and sun for sunny etc....can someone work on this...maybe copying and pasting pics from the internet and then assigning them to values in the coding....if someone can give explanation on how..i can test it

[xfaith]

ryah I know the chinese version has the icons, this is a first beta in english. I am not sure what he is programming in. I used PE Explorer to edit some spelling issues I originally saw. I have the icon set also that he is using with the Chinese version.

Also I have created a CAB file for it, will post it when I get to work. It cretates the folders, and puts the files in, and also created a RAI for :MINIWEATHER (thinking for future).

I added the following to all CityStartStr like this:
CityStartStr=postal_code data="
and I get the City Location to be displayed:cool:

[xfaith]

Nice, did you figure out the Celcius:

[illi]

Nice, did you figure out the Celcius:

nope. those are sent by the server so some conversion routine need to be coded in the program.

thanks

[xfaith]

Does that show the zip code or the city when you added that?

[nuttsp]

Xfaith,
I have installed this and it kind of works. I don't get what I had expected after modifying the ini file. I changed the city which I think worked but I do not get current weather and I don't get extended weather (more than one day). I am sure that I have made a mistake with my modification of the ini. After I modify the ini file do I have to reboot the phone to see the change?

[xfaith]

Select update now.

Right now I only show today/tommrow on my slide panel, have not figured out (have not had the time) to go past that and see what else I can get going.

I tried to email the developer to add Celcius support from the settings pane, and he said give it about a week for icons, the chinese version already supports the Icons.

I am working on updating the .cab file I created, but can only do so much.

It show the city name. I tried to upload my homescreen pic but xda server is having problem now.
Thanks

[xfaith]

No problem I used <city data in mine instead, which provides the same thing. The developer gave me an update but it was just the spelling issues that I already noticed. I wish I knew what language the program was written in. Or better yet could read the chinese version a little to compare the two.
But I can wait a bit longer as he updates the english version. Hopefully it will be less the a week before we can start seeing icons.

In my case if I use <city data I'll get this:
<city data="Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur"
so,
<postal_code data="Kuala Lumpur" is more appropriate. Well, whatever, we achieved what we wanted to see; that matters.

I dont mind waiting for the icons. My wish list:D:
- choice between celcius and fahrenheit
- display more days
- everything should be done through the settings panel rather than having to modify the .ini file.
- multiple cities choice
- able to modify city name (especially long names which I want to truncate)

Question: does the "Get Network Time" update the device clock? and can I change to a different server to get the time and the weather report?

1. I asked him about the C/F option
2. Will find out about showing more days, I can get reports for up four days, but on appointments only show today/tommrow. (I guess thats what everyone see's)
3. Agree with that also. I did find that there is a registry entry created for the file based off the ini (I am guessing here)
4. So you want to have reports for two area's? Hmm will ask about that. Might be hard to fit it into the screen.
5. Will also ask about that.

I found you can use www.google.no for Cel/but you have to have everything in norwiegian :) so not exactly the correct thing just yet.
Unsure of what "update network time" does.


+++ Also will update the .CAB to create a shortcut on the start menu for easier access, I will post the .CAB tonight+++

I use Vieka (vieka.com) WordPad to edit files on my phone.

Here's the url to get weather in Celcius from Yahoo:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=myxx0008&u=c

I am trying to place the correct data into the ini file.

[xfaith]

Thats great. Will wait for your fantastic news.

Thanks very much.

Now my appointments field wont update :)

Hmm. I think I will have to delete the program and start over. have had no luck getting it to work on yahoo yet.

The developer is not home yet when he gets home, i guess next week we will see any update to the program.

Put back the original ini file

[xfaith]

I did, how did you fare with the yahoo stuff?
I am trying to get the "CITY" tag under the settings to work also, I think that is pulled from a INI/TXT file also.

Failed! It picked up rubbish and I dont have time to investigate further.

[xfaith]

When I get home from work today, i will investigage further :)

I think the structure of the xml makes it a little difficult to get info from yahoo's. You just compare google's and yahoo's xml, the message structure is more complex in yahoo.

[xfaith]

yes it is a little bit harder to read, wonder if there are other sites that will be a good pull from. There are some nice things that you can get from the yahoo, that does not show on the google side.

[showaco]

hey, how's the cab coming? Also, the htc home screen i think updates thru accuweather and works on my blackjack, is there anyway to incorporate part of it to help? I also remember that on rltoday site, they had a plugin for weather that used the rltoday xml and mortscripts. It also has the url for the weather updates. I will see if I can find it.
Here's the link for rafer weather. download the zip file and check out his mscr files paying attention to get 10 day and get 3 day forecast.

Have you run MiniWeather from wherever it was installed? Click More and upate the setting accordingly. Then, click Update Now.. thats it!

In the SlidePanel check under Appointments, it should have your weather... taraaaaaa
