Title: How do I change weather from Fahranheit to Celcius?
Post by: Martin I Pettinger on November 24, 2003, 10:08:02 AM
Hi

My first post. Fantastic programme TodayPlus - I am learning slowly but one thing that has me stuck at present is as follows:

I have changed weather settings such that temperature displays in degrees celcius - I edited the config.txt file with f for c.

However the screen displays still shows oF as does the detailed summary for the day. Is there a way of changing this to oC.

I must install a screen capture so I can attach pictures to explain my problem!

Clear the buffer folder and refresh the data.  This should get the proper info downloaded.   :wink:

Also look for lines like this under the weather section of the skin.

today,realtemp,140,24,,°F,r


Change the f to a c there should be 4 to 6 lines like that.

If the numbers still look wrong, you might need to reload the plug-in, by going to Settings->Today->Items and clicking ok.

Wow

What quick responses - got it working. Thanks everyone. I'll keep tweaking. I am now trying to add a second weather channel for the Isle of Man. Couldn't get it working last night.

Title: Just get blank data for second weather channel

Hi

I am using slider and battery+ skins. Edited the config.txt for the following:

var,numcities,2

city,1,60,UKXX0285,Home,c
city,2,60,IMXX0001,Douglas,c

Weather for first one displays fine, second one comes up with no data. Tried clearing the buffer but still no success.

Check that MSNBC.com has IMXX0001 as a valid city code.  They only seem to support a subset of the non-US weather.com cities.

Checked MSNBC.com and the Isle of Man isn't listed.

Out of interest is there an easy way of finding a list of valid weather codes. Cannot see anything obvious on MSNBC or Weather.com.

Wanted to add Bulgaria too - but that doesn'y appear either.

I am not sure where you have been looking to, but you may want to check this here for Bulgaria:

or
http://www.msnbc.com/news/wea_front.asp?tab=&ta=y&inst=n&action=a&pos=&ctry=Bulgaria

The Isle of Man really seems to be a problem ...

Have fun anyway :D
