This version of weather is not working. Module looks for location table in database. Attempted to load location module 5.x in 6 but does not work. Weather is dependent on the Location module for which there is no 6.x version yet.

Best regards,
Crutch

Toddy,

Is 6.x working? I've done everything possible and it always makes my site unavailable when enabling the weather block in left or right column.

IE/Linux/Apache1.3.37 (Unix)/MySQL4.1.22-standard-log/PHP5.2.5/cPanel11.18.3-RELEASE/Drupal 6.1

Is it dependent on the location module?

Thanks,
Crutch

Hi,

Weather does not depend on the Location module, but can use its data if available. I've installed a working version for Drupal 6.x, without ever installing the Location module in that setup. Maybe the problem is that you cannot download data from the internet on your server? Do you have other modules installed which fetch data from other sources?

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks for the reply Tobias. I have some more detail with my recent experience here http://drupal.org/node/215982. I have two other sites where the weather is working but it is with older version of drupal and weather. I'm thinking it may be a setting or something that changed in drupal core but I don't really know and I'm not sure where to start looking for the items.

Best regards,
Crutch

Is it correct that since there is no Location module available for Drupal 6.x the ability to determine the weather to display cannot be determined by the user's IP or is there another way to do this in Drupal 6.x ?

Other than that, the Weather module (v6.x-2.1) works great. Thanks. It is really nice that users can customize "My weather" and display more than one location. Installation on Drupal 6.2 was smooth.

Is it possible to also select other sources for weather data? The Metar database seems somewhat limited.

Hi,

I don't know how to display the weather based on a user's IP address, sorry. I'm also not sure whether this works with the Location module. Did you set this up in Drupal 5?

Currently, the module only supports METAR data, although I'm aware that the DB is not complete. It would be best to get weather data from GRIB sources (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRIB), however, I'm currently not working on that.

Back to the original question: Is there a demonstration site that I can look at?

crutch - July 30, 2008 - 01:39

http://sutton-homes.com/main/

Demo here on Drupal 5. I can't get it to work on 6.

I customized the block and added a link to the specific location at noaa.

Sorry, currently there is no dedicated website for demo purposes.

Crutch
any chance you could show how you modified for the forecast?
and any idea how to have the module display the forecast diirectly?

#11

crutch - December 7, 2008 - 19:08

Hi madapple, sorry for late reply.

I'll have to locate the block code if still interested. I simply dug into the module (specifically the code that displays the block) and moved the content around and added styles.

I didn't attempt any new connections to noaa or other display options. Simply reformatted the existing content.

#12

madapple - December 11, 2008 - 14:58

Crutch

no worries
the bosses decided that standard display was plenty.

Thank you though!

Madapple,

Below is the section on the weather.module file. Basically, I hard coded style/layout (some ugly html in there now that I look at it), but gave me quick, flexibility. I'm sure views could handle this in some way. I'm just getting into views after the DIWD conference. Updating the module would require a redo of the weather.module customizations.

It's running on D5.1 and weather-5.x-3.0.tar.gz and works great. I just keep getting white screen when enabling weather block with config beyond that pair. I attempted an install of weather on 6.8 on cPanel tonight and got white screen. There must be a server setting or some other setting that is timing out the METAR data and then timing out the site or the site is not looking for the data or something similar.

Thanks,
Crutch

I'm guessing you have the watchdog table set up as InnoDB. Change it to MyIsam and this will probably go away.

crutch - June 3, 2009 - 13:17

Toddy,

Just a note, using Weather, Panels and D6.12, everything is working great!

The weather.tpl is perfect for modifying output.

Thanks!
