[request] Weather Desklet.

[Tobbz]

Hi All...

Is it possible to make a weather desklet?

Maybe just an icon, and a label that shows temp. from a URL @ weather.com.

Kinda like the samurize weather script and Y'z docklet, but without the different kinds of weather icons/pictures?

Just wanted to know, because i'd really love to have a desklet like that.

What do you all think? :naughty:

SysStats is your friend .

[Tobbz]

damn... i cant figure out how it works.

Too bad... But its waaay too complicated for me.

[rooskee]

add the sysStats desklet, then right click the desklet, load config, choose the weather one in the configs folder of the sysstats desklet. right click the desklet again, click meters, then click weather in the left part of the dialogue, and click configure, change the entry to this http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/XXXXX?cc=*&unit=s . But change the XXXXX to your zip code

That should do it

the easiest way to get a weather with Avedesk is to use the weather docklet for Objectdock. Gimme your email, I'll send you the docklet

[rooskee]

i didnt know that docklet still worked

[d-shade]

i just can't get sysstats to work.. i never changed or messed with it and all of a sudden it stopped working.. :rant:

OK, i found the OB weather docklet.

But im from europe.. What do i put in the Zip code box?

Does the docklet only work for ppl from the US?

Thanks for that link AndreasV.

I tried to use that new .dll, but i keep getting a VB runtime error, and then Avedesk crashes.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

[duyvan82]

@tobbz : tell me where you live? I'll configure the docklet and send it to you, it will be easier for ya.

[Tobbz]

duyvan82, i live in Arhus(sometimes spelled Århus, or Aarhus), in Denmark.

[duyvan82]

[Tobbz]

thanks man!

But it looks like it hasnt come through.

Maybe its because of my ISP's antivirus/spam filter.

Could you please try and compress it as a .rar file.

I think .zip is not allowed.

Thank you so much!

Have a nice weekend.

[duyvan82]

get it here http://www.geocities.com/duyvan82

[Tobbz]

thanks, but i still get this error.

[duyvan82]

it's weird, the desklet's working very well here. Why don't you use samurize? If you wanna give a try, get Crni's mini weather widget, it doesn't require Weather script, it works with a plugin so it's easier to configure.

[kerin]

hum...

are you sure to use the lastest release???

try to get the one from official website http://www.avedesk.com/ if it's not already done, cause it works fine for me even XML docklet AND Sysstat so it may work for you to

[Tobbz]

I got Version 1.0 build 2

[AndreasV]

try to search on microsoft.com for MSXML4 and install the package.

[Tobbz]

thanks AndreasV, im gonna try that one later, when i get back home.

Ill let you know how it goes.

cheers
