[Snippet] WeatherX

You can customize the date format inside the the WeatherX.php script. Look for the variable $dateformat. Also, this grabs the timestamp from the server, so if you are located differently from your server, then the time/date will be a little off. On the next release I will allow for a parameter to set the date and the ability to offset the time for your locale.

Other than that, does all seem Ok?

Thanks for that I completely overlooked it. Everything seems fine.

Question - is there a way to parse the data at Wunderground and display a daytime/nighttime specific picture? I just checked Wunderground and it lists a picture specific for day/night.

Yeah, I thought I put that in the documentation somewhere. Right now the icon support for Wunderground is limited. Probably this Tuesday I will make it more full featured by checking the time and then giving the appropriate link, including Nighttime images.

I have added some Night time icon support. For better icon support for Wunderground, I need a list of all the phrases it returns for "Conditions:." Right now I have these:

• Overcast
• Clear
• Scattered Clouds
• Mostly Cloudy
• Heavy Rain
• Light Rain

Finally, this newest version can be found at the first post, but also in the repository, where all future updates will be stored.

I see this thread hasn’t been active for a few years - is the snippet still supposed to work with MODx (1.0.3)?

I don’t get it to work, and the install instructions are a bit fuzzy, so I would just like to check a few things:

The snippet is called WeatherX, and then you create a chunk which can be called anything you like, with the following bit of code in it (for Wunderground):

[!weather?&zipcode=`90001`&units=`metric`&offSet=`2`&nightTime=`19`!]
<div>
<p>Temp: [+wxTemp+]</p>
<p>Wind: [+wxWindDir+] @ [+wxWindSpeed+]</p>
<p>Conditions: [+wxConditions+]</p>
<p>Pressure: [+wxPressure+]</p>
<p>Humidity: [+wxHumidity+]</p>
<img src="[+wxIcon+]">

</div>

Is it correct that the snippet call is "weather", even though the name of the snippet is WeatherX? (On a differnt note, wouldn’t it make more sense to have the HTML code and variables in a chunk that’s defined by something like &tpl?)

Apart from creating the chunk and the snippet in Manager you also need to upload the files weather.txt and WeatherX.php to snippets/WeatherX, and upload the PNGs stored in "weather" into a folder called "graphics", right?

Is that it? I don’t get any data whatsoever - where could I be going wrong...?

I’m planning to use the snippet for Swedish weather, but thought I should start by getting it to work with the default US zip code.
