I was tring to get to do f instead of c
plus was gona gt to do rest of what it needs 3-6 day .

[cfernandes]

i update the script  and  now  have  3 variables to configure 

to change from "C"  to "F"

uncomment the lines

#$temp_type="F";
#$temp_current="temp_F";
#$temp_max="tempMaxF";
#$temp_min="tempMinF";

[darkwizard864]

all good but a few problems it Spanish or something.. I change the c to f nothing works right local cast say just f

[cfernandes]

when change  C to F   you used capital letters ?

sorry  for that  the language.

days off week  is in portugues .

you can  change   "Domingo"  to "Sunday"
                          'Seguna-Feira" to "Monday"  ....

cfernandes,

is there a reason why you don't use the PHP function date to return the longname of the day of the week? That way, the text is in the local configured language.

[darkwizard864]

when change  C to F   you used capital letters ? yes
look like this
$temp_type="F";
$temp_current="temp_F";
$temp_max="tempMaxF";
$temp_min="tempMinF";

posde

this script is only one test  that  i build .

is simple to use php longname

a make the corrections .

[Marie.O]

Isn't it nice that sometimes build-in functions save a lot of code AND improve internationalisation.

Thank you!

[cfernandes]

another thing  on this test script  is  that i use a local  url  from brazil  to get   textual forecast for my area.

the variable on script 

$url2="http://www.climatempo.com.br/rss/destaque.xml"

this  need to changed.

i need to search other sites  that offer this services.

if some one know some sites   i can test.

[darkwizard864]

Thanks for building the updated packages for the weather plugin!

I was starting to think that the plugin wouldn't work with RoamingOrb & proxy orbitor, or that I hadn't configured the plugin properly, as it wasn't working with the test harness.  With the new packages, it's now working, and I can see the results in RoamingOrb.

One thing I did notice in RoamingOrb, is that when I tap the radar image button (and there isn't a radar image to go to, tapping any button (like the home button) causes the proxy orbitor to die.  It's reproducible, and I did manage to get a clean log trace from restart through to crash.  This is the tail end, where it died.

Want me to file a Trac ticket?  I have a complete log trace from the proxy orbitor re-spawning to where it quits.  It might need a default "No Radar image" image file...

Now that Universal Devices has released the new firmware for the ISY-994i with HAM Weather support (replacing the previous Weatherbug support), I now plan on adding support for the LMCE weather plugin to my ISY GSD driver.  It'll go a lot smoother now that I know I didn't mess up anything with the weather plugin.

Cheers!
