will this work with the stand alone exe? or does it have to be with the today plugin?

I guess it should also work with the standalone iPhoneToday exe version, since I'm not using any function specific to the Today screen, but just the ReloadIcon and ReloadIcons feature of iPhoneToday 1.3.

Ok, I've added a FAQ in the first post to answer to your questions.

Cool, that is what I figured each locations were for. However, I am having an issue getting it to work and I think it is with the location. Say I want weather for Sacramento, CA (USA). Here is the URL:
http://www.accuweather.com/us/ca/sacramento/94203/...
What is the location code? Is it us|ca|sacramento|94203 or us/ca/sacramento/94203?

I don't have TF3D, so I can't use MTP. So this is the only option.
------------------------

Here is how I have it setup, but it just sits there. I also use MEdia Net (AT&T); that setting worked for the old other weather icon program. Here is my weather.ini file

Code:

[User settings]
IPTWaccuWeatherMetric=0
IPTWaccuWeatherLocation=us/ca/sacramento/94203
IPTWdelayHours=2
IPTWdelayMinutes=0
IPTWinternetConnection=MEdia Net

Ok, I've figured out you have to search your location code on AccuWeather.com International and not on AccuWeather.com which is only for the US...

So for Sacramento in California, the location code is NAM|US|CA|SACRAMENTO

Using that worked!!!! However the website is frustrating, everytime I try and get the vofr for other US cities, since I am in the US, it forces me back to the normal site. Well at least I know where to look; thank you very much

[edit]
Ok I think I fingured it out, just a few tests then I will post

AccuWeather Icons

Hello,

I have made some AccuWeather Icons...
Enjoy.

chancer63 · Dec 22, 2009

I have two answers and two questions:

- I only want to use WLAN so I left the internet connection entry empty, it works.
- Yes, it works with the exe- version of iPT.

Questions:

- Is it possible to integrate S2U2 like in moesfeld's yahoo- version?
- I tried to use weather icons from moesfeld, they seem to be disordered, show the wrong weather. Is there another order for the AccuWeather- icons?

THX & CU

michoob · Dec 22, 2009

@chancer63: since I don't use S2U2, I don't know if I'll make a version for it, but I'll take a look if I find some time.
For the icons, you cannot use icons used for Yahoo! Weather as the ones from moesfeld, because there are not the same as the ones for AccuWeather... these icons were done by Bluemetalaxe and he doesn't have time to remake 40 new weather icons, sorry.

michoob · Dec 22, 2009

Ok, I've taken a look at UserWeather in S2U2.
It seems you can display only one icon and forecast.
Which one do you want? The current forecast?

I may display for instance the current forecast icon, with a text below showing current temperature, current RealFeel®, current weather description, high temperature, high RealFeel®, low temperature, and low RealFeel®.
Something like that is ok for you?
2° (4°), Mostly Cloudy | Hi 3° (2°) / Lo 0° (-3°)

Perhaps the text will be too long... I don't kown.

Just tell me exactly what you want and I'll give it a try

Day and Night icons?

Hello michoob,

Is it possible to change the script so, that day and night icons are displayed?

BOBO_01 · Dec 23, 2009

Day and Night icons!

I have found it myself.

Enclosed is a new config.xml and the day and night icons.
-> Replace
-> Enjoy

Well done!

By the way, I'm working on a new version with many new stuff, to be released next week.

I'll also include an optionnal IPTWnightIconSuffix setting in the weather.ini file so that configuring different icons for night forecasts is easier than editing the config.xml.

2 recommendations, add a script killer and reg lock

Code:

RemoveNotifications(\iPhoneToday\IPTWeather\iPhoneTodayAccuWeather.mscr")

Here is the reg lock code:
At the start of the script add this:

Code:

#Lock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",1)

And at the end put this

Code:

#Unock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",0)

This way if another code is running, things don't get screwed up, and if you accidently hit the button many time, you don't end up with 20 or 30 scripts running.

michoob · Dec 23, 2009

I don't see the point of having a script killer for iPhoneTodayAccuWeather.mscr script, since this script is only run by the user and since it is written in the MortScript manual:

4.3 Multiple instances and aborting scripts
MortScript can run in multiple instances, but only once for each script.
If an already running script is run a second time, an open dialog of that script (e.g. Choice,
Message, ...) will be activated. If the script doesn't show any windows, nothing will happen.

As for the lockRegistry thing, is it an iPhoneToday feature?
What will it change to add this entry?
Perhaps I should have a wait loop like that before updating the iPhoneToday registry, but this would work only if the other code running and using iPhoneToday uses this kind of loop too:

Code:

While (("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\lockRegistry") <> 0)
  Sleep(1000)
EndWhile
#Lock reg
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",1)
#Update iPhoneToday registry
#... and unlock reg at end
("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","lockRegistry",0)

Perhaps I'm wrong, so please explain me.

j101399j · Dec 23, 2009

Looking back at your script, the kill is not needed, so please ignore that part. As for the lock, it is only needed if someone is running multiple scripts that edit the icons. For example, if this is running and then the battery script starts, they can cause some wierd icon changes and mess up the icons and notes. It is not needed, but just an idea

[edit] Yes, competly ignore the lock and kill parts. I did not fully understand your scripts and these 2 things will only mess things up.
