hello Namps,

well, there is no automatic solution at the moment using widgets. but if you handle your sidebar.php manually it should be possible to change the language using a piece of php. you can give the language as the second parameter. the call is wp_forecast($wpfcid=”A”, $language_override=null) giving the the language code e.g. “de_DE” or “en_US” as the second parameter should do the trick.

hope it helps

hans

Hi Hans,

Thanks for that plug-in !
I am building a multilingual blog where you can switch from a language to another by clicking on a button.
Unfortunately, I have not found yet how to proceed if I want the widget to switch between the two languages : it always stays in the language I chose previously in wp-Forecast settings.

Any idea ?

Thanks!

Hans, I’d like to send you my wp-settings.php file but I did not find your email on the website (the little icon at the end of your post does not work for me, the address box is empty in the message thunderbird opens )! Can you write your address in aposte or send me an email?

Thank you very much.

Eric

Hello Hans, thank you for your plugin!
I have a problem with the widget : if I choose the “?” to have a dropdown menu with my two locations, I have an error message displayed above : (I can send you an image by email, it can be better…)

“Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in W:\wamp\www\pellegrin\wp-settings.php on line 646

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in W:\wamp\www\pellegrin\wp-settings.php on line 661

and so on before the widget is shown.

Do you know what is the problem?

Thank you

hello Mark,
I would reccomend using the data api of wp-forecast it is described in the german wp-forecast reference under section 5.4. just use

$erg=wp_forecast_data("A","de_DE"); print_r($erg);

replacing the widget id and the langugage code as needed.
you can then select which data to display using normal php code. since you use it in the footer, you have to edit the footer.php og your theme.

hope it helps, hans

p.s. sorry, this part isnt translated to english yet

Hi Hans,

Great plugin, works really well, thanks!

I’ve got my plugin working at the moment in the bottom left of my website’s footer. What I want to do is change the format a little: remove the name of the city, and put the date, time and current weather on one line together, like this:

February 4, 2010, 1:45 am, [ICON] 8°C wind speed: 7 mph S

How can I do this? I’m happy to play with any PHP or Java, but which files and which part?

Many thanks,

Mark

hello James,
thats easy, wp-forecast uses the gmtdiff tag send by accuweather to calculate the time of the selected location. accuweather gives only 5 hours diff for Hyerabad and not as you expected 5.5 hours. just call http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox/weather_data.asp?location=ASI|IN|IN002|HYDERABAD and verify it yourself. as of version 2.6 wp-forecast has a time offset parameter which you can use to correct this. you have to enter 30 to correct the time for half an hour. can you try this please.

regards, hans

Hi Hans,

Been away for a couple of weeks so only just got another chance to look into this. From what I can see, my blog time is correct. When I go to the ‘General Settings’ page in the Admin area of WordPress it shows a ‘UTC’ time and a ‘local’ time. I’m assuming that the UTC time is the time of the UK web server where my site is hosted – the time is correct for the UK. I have teh timezone set to Calcutta (as I am in India) and the local time is shown correctly as +5.5 hours ahead of UK time. So this all seems correct, right?

But on my actual blog, the time shown by your plugin for Hyderabad is always 1/2 hour slow. (The times shown for the other two locations in the UK are correct). I have the use current time checkbox selected. Any idea why this might be? See here http://www.jos.co.uk for yourself.

Thanks, and keep up the good work James

hello James,
it is designed as follows: if you check “use current time”, wp-forecast takes the blogtime, if you uncheck it wp-forecast calculates the time which comes from accuweaher (which is the time the weather data was stored at accuweather). the offset is entered in minutes and is meant as a possibility to correct the accuweather time, because there are some locations accuweather sends the wrong time.
for your situation there are two scenarios which can be possible. you blogtime is wrong, which is a problem with wordpress and should be corrected because all your comments, posts, etc. get the wrong time or wp-forecast calculates the wrong blogtime for you blog, which has to be analyzed in wp-forecast.
can you tell which case it is? I will add the unit of the offset in the next release.

thank you very much for your feedback
regards, hans
