Title: Weather Sticker

This Mod Places a Weather Sticker below user Rank on Posts, based upon Users Zipcode or
ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization)on profile Location. To find out the Closest ICAO go to http://www.citywx.com to pull up location and find ICAO on Page.  If user does not fill in the Location area, no Weather Sticker Will be shown.  We use CityWx.com Weather for the
Weather Avatar Stickers.

I am not sure If it is compatible with other versions, as I could only test with 1.1, 1.1 RC3 and 1.0.8

Demo http://www.citywx.com/forum

This MOD is for the Default Template, but I can make it for Custom Templates and themes as well. I just need a copy of your theme.

I have added both Celcius and Fahrenheit to the Weather Sticker for our Friends that do not live in the U.S. Hope this helps!

Doesn't seem to want to work with Canadian codes, though.  I entered "CYYZ" for the Toronto Pearson Airport, but nothing shows up.  Works fine with an American ZIP code, though...

You are using the Igoh Theme, if not what Theme are you using.

i really like this mod :)

however i have two suggested improvements...

why does it replace the location section in the profile?

now for me instead of saying "location: sydney, australia" i have "location: WXYZ"

can't we instead have a location section as well as a postcode/IACO code section?

and secondly....

is it possibly at all to put in a section in your look and layout options to hide the weather like a person can hide avatars and sigs if they don't wish to see them :)

That's the Toronto Island Airport (different one).  This one seems to work, but not CYYZ.  Very strange...   ::)

I am just learning all about SMF, so messing with the database to add a field would have been a nightmare.

The hiding of the avatar can be done.....will be out for version 3.0

Both CYTZ and CYYZ are valid codes that are updated on the site provided.

CYYZ: http://www.citywx.com/hw3.php?forecast=zandh&byoaol=pub-9840577626090880%22&pands=CYYZ&submit=Go+WX

CYTZ: http://www.citywx.com/hw3.php?forecast=zandh&byoaol=pub-9840577626090880&pands=CYTZ&submit=Go+WX

But only CYTZ works with your plugin.  I'm curious to know what's really different between the two that makes one of them not work.

It doesn't replace Avatars, it is located below them.

Ah I see.  Because this is some sort of live feed is there any noticable difference in forum performance or any slowness?  Looks like a very cool mod   8)

I had this installed on 1.1RC3 and really liked it. I upgraded to 1.1.1 and when I tried to reinstall this mod through the package manager, package manager does not give me an "install mod" option after I download the mod.

Any ideas?

No the Weather Avatars are coming from my server not yours.  So I am eating the bandwidth for the Weather Avatars.

Anyway to get it to show up for each person up in the "Hello" area with their avatar...I'll attach a pic where I'm talking about

Or even pointing me in the right direction and I'll try and figure it out
Title: Re: Weather Sticker
Post by: dry3210 on January 12, 2007, 12:40:12 AM
OK I got it to show up there but it won't grab the location of the member, it just defaults.

In the profiles it still works though
Title: Re: Weather Sticker
Post by: richiehale on January 12, 2007, 01:39:28 AM
I would be very interested in this, but I do NOT want it to replace location in the profiles.

Post by: OmegaSupreme on January 21, 2007, 04:03:07 PM
I would like to use this mod on our Forums, so rather than going through and attempting to mod it from the default theme myself, I thought that since you offered I would ask if you could modify the package to work with the themes Silver_Shine_V2 and Neon.  We use a couple of themes but these two are used the most. Here's a link to the site if you need it http://www.freelancersallianceonlinegaming.com.  Thanks in advance

PS.  Saw that you wanted this request sent to your site so I did that too

Hello.  I am using SMF Version 1.1.1 withe the Proton theme.  Could I obtain the weather sticker mod?  Thanks!
Title: Re: Weather Sticker
Post by: Trashcan on February 04, 2007, 10:10:02 AM
I have noticed and am seeing the red X's as well.  I am hoping the creator of the mod will be fixing this soon.  Love the idea, but am considering an uninstall at this point. :(
Title: Re: Weather Sticker
Post by: bumperskittles on February 04, 2007, 10:14:43 AM
I uninstalled it yesterday because it's inoperable. Everyone on my site misses it already. It was really cool to be able to see what everyone's weather was. Hope they get it fixed soon!  
Title: Re: Weather Sticker
Post by: Trashcan on February 04, 2007, 10:19:12 AM
agreed.  it was easy to use and easy to install.

I have noticed too that going to the authors site (board) does want to download a virus though.  I am thinking their site is bugged and causing the grief. 

This is the virus
Name Troj/ClsLdr-H
Type Trojan

Affected operating systems Windows

Aliases Java/ClassLoader

Post by: bumperskittles on February 09, 2007, 08:21:35 PM
I applied this mod back to see if it's working yet, and no it is not. I had to uninstall it again since it's still only showing the red x. I wonder if this will ever be fixed.

anybody tried contacting the creator of the mod yet?

I added this before I realized it wasn't working.  Now when I try to uninstall I get

Anyone know how to resolve this? I am using  1.1 RC3  default theme.

Post by: ohioreef on December 22, 2007, 02:34:05 PM
I have SMF version 1.1.4 and up to a few days ago the mod worked fine. Suddenly I'm getting a red x and when I go to his website I get a server not found error. So, thinking he's gone belly up I decided to uninstall the mod only to find out there is no uninstaller included!! So now I'm stuck with a red x under everyone's username.

Does anyone happen to know how to manually uninstall this mod?
