Weather Display Live for the iPhone and Android

[juntta]

I meant this:

Code: [Select]

<links>
<link id="xmlSource" url="http://www.yr.no/place/Finland/Southern_Finland/Helsinki~658225/forecast.xml"/>
<link id="overview" url="http://www.yr.no/place/Finland/Southern_Finland/Helsinki~658225/"/>
</links>

This propably doesnt mean anything, I mentioned it just in case.

My setting  for forecast looks like this:
settings["yr.no"] = "Finland/Southern_Finland/Helsinki/";

Could I debug iWDL somehow in my browser, if there are any errors launched by it?

Finally got it working, downloaded iWDL again and started with clean table. Now it works with Helsinki and bunch of others Finnish cities but not with any city that has "ä" in its name. I tried f. ex.

Code: [Select]

settings["yr.no"] = "Finland/Southern_Finland/Riihim%c3%a4ki/

Hi

I am also having trouble trying to get the forecast to work from http://yr.no for Levin, New Zealand.  URL is: http://www.yr.no/place/New_Zealand/Other/Levin/ so I added "place/New_Zealand/Other/Levin/" to the iwdl_settings.js file (and also without the trailing /), but I only get the "Loading" message.

Also, the long and lat seem to be way out. I've manually stated them in the same file, but when you click on the map link, it has my station out in the middle of the ocean!

Any guidance greatly appreciated. Fantastic app!

I did a page that works great on a iPhone or Droid. You'll need to zoom on the iPhone but Ajax and the Google radar work great on both of them.

With AJAX: http://www.daculaweather.com/cellphone.php OR with no AJAX: http://www.daculaweather.com/cellphonena.php

Other phones like Blackberry's and the LG Blackberry clone display crazy stuff. Most phones have inferior browsers so don't expect anything fancy out of them. But iPhones (Safari) and my Google phone (Chrome) work great!

About "the yellow box"...
Something is displayed there that cannot be controlled via settings["home"].
Please see the attached screencap.
In this case it says "Avond", but on others moments during the day it shows "the current condition". Or at least, an attempt at it.
I would really like to remove this "the current condition"-thing. Any suggestions on how to?

Anyone any suggestion on how to "fix" the above?

Thanks.

i have got this working a treat on my iphone and i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as far as removing any references to rain (i dont have a rain monitoring device connected to my weather station)

any help would be greatly appreciated

my site is;

(my weather display live is www.steve-topia.co.uk/live-weather.html)

I am trying to test this out in anticipation of the arrival of my Android phone this weekend. The basic stuff works fine but what I'd like to do is to get the forecast display like using yr.no but using my WXSim forecast data, either the .csv file of the plaintext file whichever fits in bets with this app.

Have you considered doing this, if not can I help in anyway to get it done? One thought if you can tell me the format of the xml file you get from yr.no then I can maybe create one from my WXSim forecast.

Also one small issue is that my weather station name in clientraw is larger than is displayed on the screen so Broadstairs Weather becomes Broadstairs Wea with the 'a' character only half displaying!

I am also having trouble trying to get the forecast to work from http://yr.no for Levin, New Zealand.  URL is: http://www.yr.no/place/New_Zealand/Other/Levin/ so I added "place/New_Zealand/Other/Levin/" to the iwdl_settings.js file (and also without the trailing /), but I only get the "Loading" message. 

I also see this problem, just sits there loading but if I use the Utrecht as provided in the sample it works! So there is something different when using another place.

Stuart

Update: I have sorted this, when adding the rest of the location remove the /place and just use it from /England/.... or /New_Zealand/.... and the forecast loads just fine.

Now to see if a WXSim forecast can be used....

Hi Stuart

Thanks kindly for the info regarding removing the /place/... in the URL for New Zealand. Works a treat now!

Really appreciate the response.

Hi,

I have followed the instructions to the letter... copied the download file to the root directory of my web site, unpacked it so that it creates a /iwdl/ directory, renamed the settings file and set the clientraw directory location to "./".  Even though I don't use Weather Display Live, I have set up creation of the clientraw files as per the instructions.

Browsing to http://www.spireweather.co.uk/iwdl/ on my iPhone just shows a blank black page.  Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong, as I'd love to be able to use this feature?

Many thanks,

Simon

Hi,

Your iwdl_settings.js is totally screwed, have a look at http://www.spireweather.co.uk/iwdl/iwdl_settings.js
Please make a fresh copy of iwdl_settings.js and use another editor.

Thanks Sietse, that's sorted it - don't know what happened there.

Amazing work, thank you!

What is the best / easiest way to update my file to a newer version.

[SpireWeather]

My hourly rain in this month's records appears to be corrupt in iWDL, yet it is correct in the current monthly records on my web site.

See: -

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

That is a known bug; due to be resolved in the next release.

Thanks for reminding,

Having used this fantastic web app for a few days now, I have a couple of feature requests for the next release: -

1. For UK users the ability to format the date as, today for example, 13-10-2010
2. A back button at the bottom of each screen to avoid having to scroll back up to the top after viewing data

Also a sticky link to this thread at the top of WD Questions forum might generate more traffic - at the moment one has to navigate to the last message in the current sticky thread to get to this one.

Regards,

Simon
