Help:showing no weather

Post by ukwoody »

Hi and good morning. Thanks fro a great widget that worked until I mucked it up!

Trying to get my widget to read from my pws, but all I get is the background display and the words "no weather"
Website www.woodyspembs.org.uk

In the html I've put /liveweather in as the page (and without it)
My home dir is home/ukwoody

Html
<div style="width:250px; height:200px;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf" width="250" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf"/>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>
<param name="flashvars"
value="location_id=gn:2642534&location_name=Milford%20Haven&current_weather_url=http://woodyspembs.org.uk/liveweather/y ... _bar=false"
/>
<a href="http://yowindow.com/weatherwidget.php"
style="width:250px;height:200px;display: block;text-indent: -50000px;font-size: 0px;background:#DDF url(http://yowindow.com/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;"
>HTML weather</a>
</object>
</div>
<div style="width: 250px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://yowindow.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color: #2fa900; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" title="HTML weather">YoWindow.com</a></span>
<span style="float:right; color:#888888;">Forecast by&nbsp;<a href="http://yr.no" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;">yr.no</a></span>
</div>

Can anyone see hwat I have done wrong please. Oh I have put crossdomain in the main root not woodyspembs.

Many thanks

Hi Woody, welcome to our forum.

You use Wordpress as CMS. Do you use also the special code? See the tutorial http://yowindow.com/widget_wordpress.php
Your .xml couldn't be find on your site, so I'm afraid it is the wrong path.

Hi Werner, thanks for the reply. For the wordpress yes I did use the correct code. The widget worked fine of the nearest metar, it was only when I tried to change it for my pws I had problems. I've tried several locations for the. xml but I will retry.

Woody,

I also notice that after the url that you posted you have a semi-colon where you'll need & between that and the next parameter. Just a typo I think.
