Weather plugin - Fahrenheit to Celsius

[x3minater]

Hi,

im trying to make this wealther plugin (not sure if thats how you guys call it) to show the temperature in the celsius scale.

This is a short part of the .ini file:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=3600
Url=#URL#
RegExp="(?siU)<weather ver="(.*)">(.*)<tmp>(.*)</tmp>(.*)<t>(.*)</t>(.*)<icon>(.*)</icon>(.*)<day d="1" t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">(.*)<hi>(.*)</hi>(.*)<low>(.*)</low>(.*)<icon>(.*)</icon>(.*)<t>(.*)</t>(.*)<day d="2" t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">(.*)<hi>(.*)</hi>(.*)<low>(.*)</low>(.*)<icon>(.*)</icon>(.*)<t>(.*)</t>(.*)<day d="3" t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">(.*)<hi>(.*)</hi>(.*)<low>(.*)</low>(.*)<icon>(.*)</icon>(.*)<t>(.*)</t>(.*)"
StringIndex=1
 
[MeasureWeatherTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=[MeasureWeatherRSS]
StringIndex=3

Im using a weather.com url
URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/#ZIP#?cc=*&dayf=6&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=#partnerid#&key=#key#

What can i do to make it show Celsius instead of Fahrenheit?

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure all you need do is add this after the [Rainmeter] section if you don't have any defined variables.

Code: Select all

[Variables]

;F for Imperial, M for Metric
ImperialorMetric=m

Someone smarter than me will be along shortly if that's not right...

Nope, that didn't do it =/

Maybe cuz im parsing the site information to a string. What i was looking for was a way to retrieve the Fahrenheit value alone and then convert it to Celsius and then put it back to the same string... dont know if thats possible (im quite new at rainmeter ).

Or any easier way

If you add:

&unit=m

to the URL, it will return the information in metric, including Celsius, instead of imperial and Fahrenheit. (which would be &unit=f)

URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/#ZIP#?cc=*&dayf=6[b]&unit=m[/b]&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=#partnerid#&key=#key#

URL=http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/#ZIP#?cc=*&dayf=6[b]&unit=m[/b]&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=#partnerid#&key=#key#

It worked
Thanks a lot!

I am trying to do the opposite of what this guy is doing, I am trying to change my VCloud rain meter to Fahrenheit instead Celsius, how can I do that?

[jsmorley]

Just use the same URL, but upside down...

#ʎǝʞ#=ʎǝʞ&#pıɹǝuʇɹɐd#=ɹɐd&dɐox=poɹd&dɐox=ʞuıן&ɯ=ʇıun&9=ɟʎɐp&*=ɔɔ¿#dız#/ןɐɔoן/ɹǝɥʇɐǝʍ/ɯoɔ˙ɹǝɥʇɐǝʍ˙dɐox//:dʇʇɥ=ןɹn

Actually, since I have no idea what VCloud is doing, or what weather RSS it uses, or anything else about it, can you PLEASE help me to help you... What is the URL your skin is using now?

I have been trying to find text files associate with this rain meter for converting Fahrenheit instead Celsius, but can't seem to find anything?

All I see is a text file where you put in your code that allows you to view your weather in your location.

Here it is, I hope it helps?

Maybe you could tell me where this text would be for converting?

[jsmorley]

You need to find the line that starts with URL= in the skin. That is the connection to the weather rss feed, and is where you will use a code to define whether you want celsius or fahrenheit.

It will be in whatever .ini you are loading, VClouds has a lot of "variants" in the folder. It should look like:

Url=http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Unit#&dayf=10

Above that line, up in the [Variables] section, is a line like this:

Unit=m

Change the "m" to "f" and you should be good to go.
