How exactly do you create an unlimited number of blocks with different locations in each?

  1. Go to admin/settings/weather
  2. Click on "Create new system-wide block"
  3. Adjust your settings, then click on "Save configuration"
  4. If you want to add more locations to this block, click on "Create new location in block 1" etc.
  5. To create another block, click on "Create new system-wide block", proceed from step 3. Repeat as often as you like
  6. Go to admin/build/block
  7. Move the blocks called "Weather: system-wide 1" and "Weather: system-wide 2" to your desired location, e.g. Right sidebar
  8. Click on "Save blocks"

The blocks should now be displayed.

There is no such link/button as "Create new system-wide block" under admin/settings/weather.

Thank you for the answer. Still can't find the link "Create new system-wide block". Could you give the URL of that link so i can test if it is maybe a theme issue?

Oh, sorry, you're right. I just noticed that you use version 5.x of the module, the unlimited blocks are a new feature of the 6.x versions of the module. So you need Drupal 6.x for this to work.

Ok, thanks anyway! Do you know of any kind of hack? I guess going directly into the database i not much of a problem since the location I need is already there. Only problem is updating the database

No, there's no hack as far as I know. But you can look at my changes in CVS and backport them yourself:
