This means that the link where the RSS feed points to, it's too big and the program can't copy it to the cache.  This mostly happens with pages that are not mobile compatible.  

If you're online, you can click on the circle to make the magnifier red.  This will take you to the actual page instead of the one that's on cache on the PPC.

In addition to just adding the information to "City 3" in you "config" file, all you need to modify the skin you are using to support more weather feeds.

If you are using the "slider" skin supplied with v0.9.8, you will need to make some changes to the section that looks like this.

Code Select Expand

//=============================================
// REGION 2
// Loads Weather Data
// Vars used: 0
//=============================================
region,2,0,-1
load,city,1
storevar,var0=1
endregion,2,0
//=============================================
region,2,1,-1
load,city,2
storevar,var0=0
endregion,2,1
//=============================================

It should look like this:

Thanks a mill for feedback. But inserting the text did not work, i still cannot see a third city, and the second city has now dissappeared.

Shouldnt there also be changes in analog-weather.com.txt ?

Could you help me out with a full guidance how to insert a third city ?

Any help is truly appreciated.

Best regards Jorn

You need to also put a new city into your config file. it should look like this: city,3,60,USAK0072,city 3,f Just insert your code or zip and the title you want.

Ignore that file.  It is an alternate skin which has not been updated for a few versions, but is still in the distribution files.  You only need to amend config.txt and slider.txt.

Great - thanks you very much it worked. I had to copy and paste EXACT the original phrase in the txt file though to make it work, and hereafter adjust your suggestions in the pasted segment.

Thanks

Furher it still beats me;

1. When reading the news and launching the small magnifier (that leads to launch of the webpage with the news) nothing happends, i get the error message that page cannot be found. How can i make a work around if any ?

2. tapping the general icon makes nothing happen, what feature does this cover and how do i get around making it work ?

Any suggestions ?

Hi
1. When reading the news and launching the small magnifier (that leads to launch of the webpage with the news) nothing happends, i get the error message that page cannot be found

TodayPlus only caches the number of pages specified by the config.  The number at the end of the rss command (in the config) says how many links to cache.  If you get a message that says that page cannot be found, it means that the page is not cached.  If you are connected to the internet you can click on the online button and click on the link, which will take you to the "live" internet page, or you can increase the number of cached pages in the config.

2. tapping the general icon makes nothing happen, what feature does this cover and how do i get around making it work ?

all those are different filters that are applied to the POOM.  I am still working on a little example of how to use filters and such.
