I have a little question , I use the export function ,so a html file is created ,is it possible to include a current weathericon in this file ?
I add a line in the Export template (export tab) :see below
but it will not display an Icon in the output HTML file ,but only an URL , Is this possible ? and if possible ,how to do it ?
According to the WW Help file the [ICON] tag returns the URL of the weather.com’s gif which is the same results as using the [MOON ICON], [HOURLY ICON], [DAILY ICON], etc tags. What you Export is all text, what you do with it is up to you. If you want to see the actual icon you will need to write actual HTML code to display it.
This seems to work at first ,the Icon shows, but only if someone has the icons local on their PC ,(I’m uploading the output file to my webpage you see) if you ask for the properties for the Icon in the output html file it says: “file:///C:/Program%20Files/Weather%20Watcher/Skins/Icons/Classic/33.gif”
Well it seems that the Icon tag returns the wrong code, it returns a local path and not a path to image.weather.com ,
I renamed the classic icon folder just as you said , but I’ve got this:
(part of the export file code)
Change your forecast icons to something other than Michels. Try SFGate. Click Apply and OK. Verify that the WW window shows the new icons. Remove the Michels icons folder from the Skins\Icons folder and make sure there is no Classic folder in the Skins\Icons folder also. Close down WW and then restart it. Make sure your WW window is showing the new icons. Now change the Forecast icons to the Classic option. Click on Apply and OK. Then do an Update.
Hello,
I think I’ve found the problem :icon_smile:
I just deinstalled version 5.6.16 and removed every trace from the registry, then installed version 5.6.14 tested this ,and everything works fine, then updated to version 5.6.15 tested and worked fine also , then updated to 5.6.16 tested and it didn’t work ,I’ve got a local path , so I think it’s the latest version ,the Icon tag generate al localpath instead of the weather.com path , so I’m on version 6.5.15 for now.
maby this little thing can be fixed in the next version .
I apologize for misleading you mteuling. I haven’t upgraded my desktop machine to 5.6.16 yet and thus was not seeing your problem. I just checked my nb which does have 5.6.16 and the Classic icons are indeed included in the Skins\Icons folder. Apparently the WW Template Codes help is outdated. [ICON] = http://image.weather.com/web/common/wxicons/52/26.gif
Your solution to the problem appears to be the best one.
Alright mteuling, replace the original line I gave you with this one.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">var WWicon ="[ICON]";WWicon = WWicon.substr(WWicon.length-6,6);if (WWicon.substr(1,1) == "/") WWicon = WWicon.substr(2,5);TWCicon="http://image.weather.com/web/common/wxicons/52/"+WWicon;document.write("<IMG SRC='"+TWCicon+"' ALT='Wow EdP!!'>");</script><BR/>
Sorry I didn’t see the problem earlier.
BTW I wrote this as all ONE line, forum wrapping may impact it’s presentation and what you add to your Export template. You may want to cut & paste it into Notepad to unwrap it before updating your Export template.
[size=2](Not everything that gets changed is documented in the RSS feeds.)[/size]
Weather Watcher 5.6.16 has been released!
The following changes have been made:
* CHANGED: The skinned tooltip window will auto refresh if visible when the weather is updated.
* CHANGED: Reverted weather download method to the Weather Watcher 5.6.14 download method.
* FIXED: GIFs with transparent backgrounds were not displaying with transparent backgrounds in the skinned tooltip window.
Michel, please note, that it will result in a TWC weather.com icon being displayed regardless of which Forecast icons you select for your WW forecast window.
Replace the whole Export template code with this. To be safe, use the mouse to highlight all the template code you are currently using then with the mouse on the highlighted text right click and choose Copy. Create a text document someplace that you will remember and Paste the copied code into it and Save it. Thus if you don’t like the new template you can restore to what you have.
YES! :iconbiggrin: definitely looks nicer wiyh the bold font on the left and the smaller font below ,
BTW , there is a way to get your own custom icons to display in the output file, If you have some webspace , you can copy an icon folder over there , and then replace the weather.com URL (in the template code) with your own URL, should work !
And you can still replace the weather.com URL with a personalized one including the address of the folder of WW icons on your home LAN (ie \Home Desktop\Weather Watcher\Skins\Icons\Weather Network). Or any weather related URL icon folder, so long as it supports the weather.com icon naming convention, 0.gif - 48.gif plus -.gif.
