weatherbug for Weather display for mac

[Spatterfree]

Hi, i just contacted Nathan Parker from Weatherbug about uploading my data to them with mac edition of this software, and he said
you guys are working on it, so if possible, or if i was any help, please let me try it as soon as its ready, i would be glad to help you out with testing, or you can test it on my computer as well. thanks,

Before you get too excited about weatherbug you should probably confirm that they will actually show your data on the site, there have been complaints on here a while ago (so it could have changed) that it's a one way street.

here is an email i got from Nathan Parker
As soon as they let me know it's been updated, I'll let you know and send out and announcement on it. Going to be great to see the Mac version working! I use a Mac myself personally, and this would have been so much easier than keeping a PC around for weather publishing.

try the latest .zip mac update
not tested here though
which also fixes a problem with the last 7 days rain data, which would cause an access violation

[Spatterfree]

ok, setting it up right now,
just noticed that there are no 3 second update switch like the windows edition has, will that be added, or is it on by default?

[Weather Display]

once we know its works, I can add in the real time update option

[Spatterfree]

seems like it's not uploading anything,i'll keep trying and let you know,

[Weather Display]

have you entered the correct station ID and password?
what shows in a terminal when your run the cronweatherbug (found in the resouces folder)

[Spatterfree]

i can't find the file, also did a search and nothing came up,
i'll confirm station ID, username and password,

[Spatterfree]

nope, file is not being created, something must keep the prgram from not updating it, i tried with the switch on, off, tried everything,
it appears like somethings not working

[Weather Display]

I did not mean about a file being updated

you should have a cronweatherbug program in the resources folder of the WD application bundle
try running that from a terminal window

[Spatterfree]

ok, sorry, i thought you meant in the webfiles folder, here is the log, i blanked out the username and password,  seems like it's working here,

I have it confirmed that it is working
i.e
http://m.weatherbug.com/TX/Plano-weather/local-weather/current-conditions/p07054

so use that format (change the state to your state, and to your user number) to see if your data shows up

[Spatterfree]

yup, it's coming through, thanks windy,
