Hi,
I've installed everything correctly and it seems to be working fine on my site, the only thing is, I'd like the units to be °C/km/h, mm and mb.
How can I do this?

Thanks

Hi Nic,

it is very easy ...
Before you create your html-code, you can configure the units as you like:
Have fun!

Hi,

Sorry, didn't explain myself very well. I'm actually running it through Cumulus and my own weather station. When I try it on any of the default locations it's fine but as soon as I try it with my own station, the units are wrong.
It's not my station as that is all set to metric and working fine. I'm thinking it's something to do with the .xml file that is created. I've checked and double checked the instructions and everything looks correct, just not getting the metric units.

Thanks,

Nic.

Hi Nic,

can you please post your xml-file here.

Hi,

Ok, I've been playing around again an it seems it's not pulling the details from my station. I've gone through everything and it's showing NEW YORK.

Here's my .xml file:
<!-- your_PWS_name 30/04/2011 16:48 -->
<!-- Remove auto_update section if wanting the default, otherwise in seconds -->
<!-- Remove the uv and solar tags if not using those detectors -->
<!-- Remove snow section if not inputting snow -->

<current_weather>
<temperature unit="&deg;C">
<current value="19.2"/>
<feels_like value="19.2"/>
</temperature>
<humidity value="62"/>
<pressure value="1009.3" unit="mb" trend="-0.3"/>
<wind>
<speed value="3.5" unit="km/h"/>
<direction value="95"/>
<gusts value="5.0" unit="km/h"/>
</wind>

<rain>
<rate value="0.0" unit="mm"/>
<daily_total value="0.0" unit="mm"/>
</rain>
</precipitation>
</sky>
</current_weather>
</response>

Changed the "flashvars" as indicated to:
<param name="flashvars"
value="location_id=gn:5128581&current_weather_url=http://***mysite***/yowindow.xml"/>

Cumulus is exporting the the file ok, I can see it.
The crossdomain.xml is there in my ROOT folder.

That location_id=gn:5128581 is giving me NEW YORK and not my location. How can I change that?

Thanks

Is ok, I've figured it out. Just needed to take a break and come back to it.
All sorted now!
