[Done 1.4.1 & 1.5.X] Weather Forecast Module

[oldiesmann]

Ok... Finally got it installed, and got all the DB stuff done, and now I get the same stupid php_hostconnect: connect failed error, so I guess spaceports won't let you connect to another server someplace. I will test this out eventually, but I have to find a place that will actually let me test it out!

I installed it thru the YabbPak and now the index page give this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\sambar51\docs\YaBBSE\Sources\Subs.php on line 343

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clicklog() in C:\sambar51\docs\YaBBSE\index.php on line 56

any ideas?

[Jack.R.Abbit]

no idea without knowing what Yabb Version you have or seeing what your Subs.php lines 340-345 look like.  I add one function to Subs.php and it should have shown up at the end somewhere around line 1290.

YaBB SE 1.5.3

Subs.php:

{
      if ($awShow && $modSettings['weatherEnabled'] && $modSettings['weatherPlacement'] == 'Template')
      {
         echo '<div align="center">';
         include_once($boarddir . '/weather/loadWeather.php');
         echo '</div>';
      }
   }

Index.php:

/* ### Log this click ### */
ClickLog();

does that help.

I replaced subs.php with an unmodified version.

It displays the weather info....but I am unable to get weather codes for other cities.

And now the uninstall will not work...with the old or new subs.php

[Jack.R.Abbit]

hmmm not sure why that would have shown up there.  Can you modify your post and include the code from say line 310 to line 360.  evrything you posted is my code... still not sure where it is in respect to the rest of the file.  It is interesting though.  I have already been working on another issue so fi I can get this one resolved as well, I'll have an update later.

   if (!sizeof($yytemplate))
      die("$txt[23]: $templateFile");

   $yyboardname = $mbname;
   $time = (isset($settings[18]) ? $settings[18] : 0);

   $yytime = lang_strftime(time() + (($timeoffset + $time) * 3600));
   // display their username if they haven't set their real name yet.
   $tmp = ($realname == '' ? $username : $realname);
   $yyuname = ($username == 'Guest' ? "$txt[248] <b>$txt[28]</b>. $txt[249] <a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$txt[34]</a> $txt[377] <a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$txt[97]</a>." : "$txt[247] <b>$tmp</b>, ");
   $yycopyin = 0;

   $yyVBStyleLogin = '<br />';
   if ($modSettings['enableVBStyleLogin'] == '1' && $username == 'Guest')

there ya go.

any other way to get the city codes??

[Jack.R.Abbit]

Thanks,

I think I need to change my search string a little.  I had already done that for the 1.4.1 version but did not yet for the 1.5.x verison.  You must have some type of template mod installed.

these lines:

Code Select Expand

 ob_start();
 eval ("function yyweather()
{
  global $board,$action,$awShow,$awCode,$awScale,$modSettings,$boarddir,$boardurl;
  if ($board == '' && $action == '')
  {
     if ($awShow && $modSettings['weatherEnabled'] && $modSettings['weatherPlacement'] == 'Template')
     {
        echo '<div align="center">';
        include_once($boarddir . '/weather/loadWeather.php');
        echo '</div>';
     }
  }
}
?>$theTemplate<?"); should look more like:

Code Select Expand

 ob_start();
 eval ("?>$theTemplate<?"); It inserted my function into the middle of some other code.  I wasn't expecting to find more than one "?>" in that file.  A horrible mistake on my part.  Sorry.  I will get that sorted out in the update soon.

"Any other way to get the city codes?"  What do you mean?  The codes are unique to each city and are contained in the lists.  I chose to include the lists so that the mod would not rely too heavily on the weather server site.  It was the best option I came up with but I am open to suggestions.  How would you suggest to do this?  What is it about this way you wish to change?

Thanks.

It won't let me change the city code...where can I manually do enter this code??

[darthpaul]

I have applied the mod in boardmod with no problems and the database mod done, all files uploaded, changed the city in modsettings and set it to show in info center...and it doesnt show   any ideas?

Please note that the xml_array class included within the mod is NOT to be assumed to be open source.  If you are using this class, which I wrote, understand that you cannot redistribute it - I only gave Jack.R.Abbit the right to do that.

Yes, maybe this should have been included in the mod, it was a minor oversight.

I have not decided what license to put my class in yet, but as current it is under the 'default' lisence, which means you cannot redistribute or re/reverse engineer it.

Thank you for your understanding,
-[Unknown]

[Jack.R.Abbit]

my bad... I totally forgot about that... by the time I got everything working I was just ready to release it... again.. my bad.   Should have noted that.

[SNC]

I still need to know where to enter the code manually in the specific file...

[Jack.R.Abbit]

Sorry.  If you don't want to do the "popup and browse" method by clicking the little "!" icon next to the textbox, you would need to make it so that the textbox is not "read only" so you can type one in.  You will still need to aquire a valid city code which would be found in those city files in the weather-cities.zip.

just in case someone is interessted: German template for weather forecast mod (not only a translation, but a conversion of units and decimal etc.). With this, it should be easy to translate this great mod into other languages, too.

Screenshot:


Instructions:
create a file in /yabbse/weather/templates/wide_de.tmp, copy and paste the following code into it, save it, upload to your webserver and choose "wide_de.tmp" in mod settings.
