nikbxos73,

I don't see reference to the yowindow.xml file that Weather Display creates. There are also some other things in your code that I don't understand. I think the best thing would be for you to start over and follow the instructions at http://yowindow.com/help.php#q8. The instructions for how to get Weather Display to create the yowindow.xml file are at http://yowindow.com/pws_weather_display.php. Then when you get the widget working, additional parameters to customize the widget are available at http://yowindow.com/widget_parameters.php.

Start slow and take it a step at a time, then the Widget will work for you.

Good Luck. - Jim

Hi all,
I followed the tutorial and still can't get it right.
The XML file is being generated and uploaded to my website.

here is the <object code I have been playing with.

Code: Select all

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf" width="280" height="194">
<param name="movie" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf"/>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
<param name="flashvars" value="location_id=gn:2463612&current_weather_url=http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub.gr/&time_format=24&unit_system=metric&background=#FFFFFF&copyright_bar=false"/></object>

Nikos,

I see two problems. current_weather_url=http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub.gr/ needs to reference your yowindow.xml so that should be

http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub.gr/yowindow.xml

The other problem is that there is a problem with that file http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub.gr/yowindow.xml so you'll need to figure out why. It looks to me like there is the degree symbol when there shouldn't be (&deg;). Once you fix that, keep trying that url until it shows with no errors.

Nikos,

In your widget code that is see, you are telling it to use the file yocumulus.html. YoWindow needs to read an .xml file, not that one. Change that to yowindow.xml.

But your http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub.gr/yowindow.xml that you should be using still has that error in it. If Cumulus is putting the degree (&deg;) symbol in there, you'll need to figure out how to stop it from doing that. If you have put a degree symbol in there, you'll need to remove it.

Nikos,

I'm sorry, I got confused about Cumulus because you had that file name in your widget. I remember now that you are using Weather Display. I just looked in the FAQs and in the WD section I found what you need:
If you find the characters &deg; in your temperature or wind direction, in WD go to Control Panel - Web Files/Web Page Setup, then the Custom Web Page Setup tab. If the third item down "Include Units Used" is ticked, un-tick that.
Then you yowindow.xml file should parse correctly.

Nikos,

I thought WD because of the name of this thread where you've posted. In your last screen shot It shows that you should be uploading a file named http://pantokratoras-kerkyra.meteoclub. ... mulus.html but that file seems to be empty. Somehow you need to get a valid xml file created for YoWindow to use.

I'm sorry but I don't use that program. If the Cumulus section of the YoWindow FAQs can't help you, http://yowindow.com/pws_cumulus.php then maybe someone else here will know the answer. Or maybe ask on the Cumulus forum why you cannot get a good yowindow.xml file created.
