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.
Updated MOD to Modify the Register.template.php to prompt for zip code / icao. Also updated profile.template.php for user ease of use
I like the weather mod on your site. Do you plan to release it?
I have released it.
Here it is on the mod section: http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=554
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!
tested with 1.0.9 works fine
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.
Could you add the SlickPro Graphite theme to the list?

Working on it now.
If anyone else has a theme they want me to customize the mod for let me know.
is it possible to put the current weather as text in the signature area instead of replacing the avatar. folks on site love their existing avatars. ;)

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
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
I would be very interested in this, but I do NOT want it to replace location in the profiles.
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
Don't click demo of that mod! Viruses!
What's going on with the weather avatars? They just show a red x now...They've been working fine for a long time and now bam, nothing lol.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Yep, when i clicked on the link to find the right code for my area, Norton alerted..also had the images up till recently and then only had the red X box
Hello. I am using SMF Version 1.1.1 withe the Proton theme. Could I obtain the weather sticker mod? Thanks!
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. :(
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!
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
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?
any new news yet?
Mod still not working
Mod creator, your CityWx forums are down. Could you please make me a copy of the mod that works with the Proton Theme. Thanks.
Nothing work...server is down etc. Sent author a PM but looks it may be as it is? Seems author has been online 7 march last time...damn, would be nice addy :(
I added this before I realized it wasn't working. Now when I try to uninstall I get
Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Profile.template.php Test failed
Anyone know how to resolve this? I am using 1.1 RC3 default theme.
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?
