Widget for our website - 2 questions

Post by inspirationally »

Hello,

my parents are doing a village site for their village and we're amazed by your beautiful weather widget with landscape and everything. I have yet to create all those season png etc. but before I do this I would like to resolve the basic things:

the village is located in Germany (Stiepelse).
the server is located in USA.

Now, 7 am in the morning, it still shows 1 am in the night. We already have daylight here, but it is completely dark.

Is there any possibility to set the time zone manually or have it display the time of the geoID set?

The other question I have: I definitely want to give credit, but our site is all blue-ish - is it allowed to replace that green with something more fitting?

I also increased the small widget size a little bit, I hope, that's fine.

Thank you, Martina.

Hi Martina,

How is the time on these webpages?
http://worldweather.bugs3.com/GERMANY4kappelC.html
http://worldweather.bugs3.com/GERMANY4kappelF.html
I am in the USA using my timezone to do these pages.
As you see, I have increased the size of the widget.

If there are problems with the time, your computer's timezone may not be set up right.
You first need to set your timezone and then set your time.
The timezone should be your actual timezone.

Are you able to supply us with a screenshot or a link to your website.
That way we can see the blue-ish problem that you are having.

Thank you in advance.

Marty

Hey Marty, thanks for your reply!

I see the correct time zone in your links, 21:47.

The site is not yet set up, but I use this include code:

Code: Select all

<div style="width:320px; height:250px;">
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf" width="320" height="250">
    	<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= 2827083&location_name=Stiepelse&time_format=24&unit_system=metric&lang=de&background=#FFFFFF&mini_action=window&copyright_bar=false"
    />
        <a href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright"
        style="width:320px;height:250px;display: block;text-indent: -50000px;font-size: 0px;background:#DDF url(http://yowindow.com/img/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;"
        >Wetter Widget</a>
    </object>
</div>
<div style="width: 320px; height: 15px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
	<span style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color: #2fa900; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none;" title="Wetter Widget">YoWindow.com</a></span>
	<span style="float:right; color:#888888;"><a href="http://yr.no" style="color: #2fa900; text-decoration:none;">yr.no</a></span>
</div>
it should be in the side navigation.





Unfortunately it is not set up yet for public view.


With blue-ish I meant the site layout itself. It SHALL be blue. That's why I'm asking if I'm allowed to re-color the green credit links to yowindow and yr.no to appear as my other links do.

Hi Martina,

Changing the color of the credits is OK.
Here is what someone else did.

Hi Martina,

Thank you for your code.
Time problem is solved.

There is a space between the equal sign and the location id.
So New York is being displayed.
Remove that space and your village will display with the correct time.
See attached.

Hi Martina,

This is just a suggestion.
Change mini action to full screen instead of window.
That way when you click on the X in the middle of the small widget,
you will get a full screen version of your widget.

See attached.

Thanks very very much! Also for your full screen suggestion.
Now it looks great, has the right time, and I even got the Stiepelse landscape to work!
