strange, I used the same script that I use in 2.12a and its been updating perfect for me since last night. And I've used different intervals(15 min last night, 60 min today) and I've cycled through a on/off period as well. I'll install the b version on my device here shortly just to make sure I didn't screw up the cab and let you know here in a few hours how its working. BTW, what's your location code and I'll verify it working correctly as well.;)

Fixed cab install problem

There's something wrong with my cab maker. Here's the fixed cab. I did test it by uninstalling it my phone, restarting and installing the cab.

Did you do a full update? That's the only way to update the forecast.

@showaco

Please update post #2 with this cab.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Which plugin (ID) are you using for the Programs panel? I will have to install the Chome_Configurator and the Programs panel to debug it.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
First post updated. When I was having problems with cab maker(kept pulling up wrong files while building cab), I ended up having to make a new user in windows, and moving all my cab making over to it. I never did figure out what was causing it.

I think it might be because Chome Config must be set to read page numbers only. When I write it to registry, I call it WPage. The other program panel's pages are named Page1, Page2, etc. Thats the only out of ordinary deal. I guess its a bug of chome config, in settings panel, pages don't use numbers, the use names is why I used the WPage name.:confused: Might have to set name based on plugin GUID to avoid conflicts.
[HTC Excalibur] rnadolny:
I was set up to do ten full updates a day. and first thing in morning still showed wednesday. And my first update started at five am.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Did it clear up later in day? We need to add a reset to fupdate in reg for it to start after ontime with a full update. Also, the way the forecast update interval works, if you set it to 10 then that means that every tenth time an update is run that it will be the full update. If it did clear up within 10 updates, then by adding the reset it will work correctly. Let us know so we can make adjustments. Thanks for the feedback:)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I have installed the 2.12b cab and has been running updates every 10 minutes for last 2 hrs reliably. If you give me your settings you use and your location code then I will check into in further.
[HTC Excalibur] rnadolny:
Guess I did not understand full update procedure. IT probably was working right. Do not know. For us that have updates off in the middle of the night it would be nice to do full update on first update of day.

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yep, consider it done:) it will be in next version as it was just oversight since the on/off update times are still new.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
thanks,here they are:

zip 33174

update ON hours: 0 to 0

Weather update: 60

Forecast interval:4

connect to int: Y

and everything else standad
[HTC Excalibur] rnadolny:
Thanks you guys are great. Love the program.
[HTC Excalibur] neesad:
Where should I enter the folowing code ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA. Thaks for reply.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Open Feather options, choose 3) Forecast Options/Setup, choose 1) Zip or Location Code.
[HTC Excalibur] neesad:
hey thanks! i got that.
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
I will test those settings too. Also, what makes you say that the updates are sporadic? Is it because the updates times are something like 2:10, then 3:12, then 4:09, then 5:30?
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
perhaps a better word is intermittent meaning they don't always happen when they're suppose to ie. every hour or every 90min etc. Lagasi, do the most recent version have the feature that it will automatically update when it gets an internet connection, after the phone has lost it, for example you driving under a tunnel or enter an old super concrete building, the phone looses its internet connection and sometimes everything but when I step out of that covered area, should FeatherWeather try to re-update immediately, thanks and keep up the good work, i appreciate your efforts
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
Version 2.12 tries to update 15 mins later if it can't get an internet connection. In the next version, we can put an option in to change that parameter and also have the options menu display the next update time.

With your settings, so far I am having no update problems.
[HTC Excalibur] kwoodall:
Lagasi,

Here's an updated Chome_240x320 if you like. I updated the collapsed version of the Clock/Home panel to be more readable and fit the order of the theme and design.

[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
thanks man, I just went back to 2.16 till the next release
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
2.16 = 2.11b has a bug that after you do a manual update, the auto-update gets turned off. To turn it back ON, just go to the options and change the ON/OFF hours or run the file Feather.mscr.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I've been running your settings all day (nice weather in Miami BTW) and haven't missed or had to reset updates at all. I'm not sure what's causing your trouble unless its your internet connection or conflict with another application. If you think its your connection, you may want to set up a hot key, or soft key to run Feather.mscr easily when you need to run update. Another option I could let you test would be for update to run when you unlock, but that could get annoying when you unlock to do something else and it starts up.:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
I just noticed something unusual today at about 7pm. For several locations in the US, the observation time from AccuWeather's feed was 1 hr behind. This is definitely an error from AccuWeather since I just got an observation time of 6:06 pm, but got an observation time of 6:36 pm from the previous update. I checked again at about 7:18 pm and the observation time is correct showing 7:13 pm.

So could some of update problems like blackjack2's be because of this?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Possibly, maybe it would be better to just show the time feather ran an update, and not the accuweather update time?
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
Great app, love its size. The only thing that i wish I could change though would be to add 1 panel that has a 5-day forcast, instead of 5 separate panels for each day
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ummm how come my weather is not updating... is it down?
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
Mine is updating fine right now
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
That design was in FeatherWeather v1. I don't think showaco wants to change it back. It's up to him.

Please be more specific. Is the auto-update not working every interval (ie. 30 or 60 mins). Maybe it's having trouble connecting to the internet? Did you try a manual update? What are your settings? How do you know it is not updating? By the "Updated At" time in the text loop?
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
I hope he does :o

I can wish, can't I? ;) Maybe I need to go back to v1 though
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Thanks Showaco and Lagassi

Since last night I've been running version 2.11b, the one not with the iphone icons and so far so good, its interesting Lagassi mentioned that problem with accuweather, perhaps that's the problem, maybe adding what the next update time should be may help, I don't know but what's more important is when the phone loses its internet connection and then regains it, featherweather should self update by itself regardless of whatever the update was, let us say the internet connection becomes intermittent in the workplace the app is always going to be behind but if a function is added that once the phone regains connection to auto update then that will be better I think and will help out a lot:)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Yah I agree with you man.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Featherweather already reschedules the update(starting with versions 2.12) when there is no internet connection. It waits 15 minutes and then retries regardless of when next auto update was originally scheduled. You wouldn't want feather to just retry when phone regains connection, because if signal was in/out for brief periods, then it could try many times in a row before finally getting connection long enough to get the update. This could result in severe battery drain if connection was bad enough.

There wasn't a 2.11b so I assume you mean 2.11, which didn't yet have this feature. The other thing I noticed on your settings, which I don't know if it makes a difference, is the on/off times were set 0/0. If you don't want an on/off time, then go to that option and when it prompts you "do you want to set on/off time", choose no so that it is set as "Always" for no off time.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Thanks Showaco, I appreciate you troubleshooting this scenario, I just got off the phone and a few seconds later I got the following error screen:

'http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/weather-data.asp?location=33174&metric=0' couldn't be opened (http error 504)

Line 150(\Program Files\FeatherWeather\Feather.mscr):link=ReadFile("http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/weather-data.asp? loction="&location&metric="&metric)

and now FeatherWeather stop looping, it just says Tmobile right below the weather icon

what's this, thanks again
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
This means that it found an active internet connection but when it went to open the url to download data(thats what line 150 does) that it had lost the connection at that moment so it couldn't open that link. Since it stopped in middle of update, script was aborted and is why text loop didn't restart again. If you will do a manual update it will start loop again, or you can wait till next auto update for it to restart the loop after it updates. Just curious, but is it just the blackjack 2 or att in Miami that has such bad signal? If its bj2, is there another radio you could flash?
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I'm actually with Tmobile with unlocked bj2, how would find another radio to flash the unit, I'm running the official 6.1 from ATT at the time
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
ahhhh, I remember something about new tmobile 3g is slightly different than att as for as frequency. I don't know if its true or not, but that could cause some data connection problems if it is. Have you noticed any changes, as for as connecting to data, since tmobile got its 3g running? As for as a new radio, I don't know if one's available for bj2(i617), but you can search and see if you come up with one. I'm not sure on what to use to flash either, for bj1(i607) it uses a i600 bootloader to flash roms and radios. You could check some bj site or maybe ask NRG since he was working on a rom for it(I think he was going to anyway?).
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I've been playing with new icons by Beyond Invisible and just looking for some feedback, for a version c.
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
Icons

I like the look of the icons with the brids. Nice touch. :thumbsup:

I'm having trouble though...I'm using NRG's Rose remade by Stylez and Ricky (nice btw) but there are no weather icons displayed on my clock panel. Is this just an issue with the rom/feather weather compatibility or do I have something set up wrong?

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You could try changing the home screen to sliding panel or sliding panel media?

Then you get the icon on CClock :)

Also thanks for comment on ROM

showaco:

The new icons look slick :)
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
I love it, let me share my custom text loop, Nike- Just Do It

lololol
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
Showaco, that's a cool background, you mind sharing it here, TIA
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
thanks everyone. I'm working on new forecast panel to display the icons a little better.

@ Stylez, let me know what I need to do to make it more compatible with htc sliding panels and I'll see about adding it in options for those using the htc panels in the new excalibur roms.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
sure, I have to jet for awhile, but I'll post it later this evening.:)
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
You're welcome.

I tried changing to sliding panel, sliding panel media and sliding panel media top bar and the weather icon is small. Pic below. Surely I'm doing something wrong.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I know that the icon doesn't show on the CClock could do with thousandlegs taking a screeny to see how looks. I have attached the HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr for you to take a look @.

I did move the icon across on CClock while editing the HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr for the fonts and it showed the icon.

If i get time later all give Feather Weather 2 a shot.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Go into your Windows Dir on phone and copy this file to computer SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr take 2 copys so put one somewhere else just incase.

Open up the SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr with notepad and look for this:

Yours will be different but the same area needs changing.

I have bolded and inlarged the text needed to be changed.

When you have edited the .cpr drop it back into the Windows Dir on phone make sure u have copy of the original just incase.

I have attached ChomeRefresh extract and place on mem card "i know show includes this in the program folder" and click on it and your homescreen will refresh.

Hope this does it attach a screeny
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:

I'll give it a shot and report back. Thank you very much!

[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
So the icon is tweaked but the scroll is overlaping that can be done with the font have bolded 2 parts decrease the font size and change Bold to Regular

show would be able to help u far more than me i just doing work arounds not sure how long the text is on the loop?
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
Default

Stylez - thanks for your efforts. I sincerely appreciate all that you've done to try to get a workaround. The changes that we just made had no effect aside from making the text smaller and not bold.

I've replaced the original .cpr - maybe show can help out later. I'll just deal with the small icon until then.

From this side of the Atlantic

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thats cool, sorry couldn't help more.
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
You were a great help.

Now I know a bit more about how it works and what won't work. Enjoy your evening!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thats cool the reason it wont work is due to the difference in name of .cpr WM6.1 : CHome_320x240.cpr Rose : HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr & SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr.

So the .cpr is not overwriten on install.
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
So...

If I knew what registry change to make so that the Rose .cpr was the one that Feather needed then it would work?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Instead of changing your registry, I made the changes to the forecast.mscr so that it will copy to SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr. I attached it below, just unzip and overwrite \Program Files\FeatherWeather\forecast.mscr. Then go to your windows directory and get the chome_320x240.cpr file that feather placed in there. You'll need to rename this to SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr and then overwrite the rom original in windows.(you may want to make a backup copy first). After this you should be able to go to Settings\Display\Homescreen and choose the sliding panel layout. I looked at the slidingPanel_320x240.cpr and it looks the same as the original chome cpr, just a different name so I think this will work. Let me know if it works, I think I can make the changes for htc panels as well by editing htc cpr. I'll make changes if this works ok for you so you can use either panels.

[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
Fantastic!

Worked perfectly. I certainly appreciate your help. Also, again, thanks Stylez.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I think you have to edit the sliding panel xml file and make it read the Chome...cpr. Then it will work. The ROSE default panels don't read the CHome...cpr.

And showaco : wonderful looking icons with artistic touch. One thing the night icons looks a bit dull with grey tones ( I know they are realisitc). But can they not be made a little colourful. Light blue tones - anyone can give suggestions ?
[HTC Excalibur] nzoka:
I installed 2.12b landscape on my BJII from Fido in Canada.

I have set my location to Calgary, Alberta and TEMP to be in Celsius.

However I still get Fahrenheit readings but the 'C' is still shown.

For example it now reads 31C - Today 25-23

Thsi is wrong since it is snowing now.

But looping text seems to dispaly correctly" Eg Calgary feels like -3C
[HTC Excalibur] redmach1_04:
I received an error when I made a call earlier -- something about featherweather. Would it have issues if it tried to update while I was making a call? I'll look at the error closer next time so I can post the actual words.

I LOVE the application though. Looks good, exactly what I wanted for the phone. Having that panel be a sliding panel showing the 5-day forcast would be cool. Also a way to get a more detailed forcast would be nice. I noticed the alt1, alt2, etc... but as someone said, I too don't want a seperate panel for each day.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I'll check into it and let you know what I find.

There shouldn't be a problem with updates and using phone, since your phone should be able to have an active data connection while it is making a call, I'll double check the code for this. The alt1, alt2, etc, are a seperate set of panels for forecast and aren't meant for your default homescreen. They are accessed through the panel that you set Feather links to in Feather Options. I have plans of a 5 day summary for the forecast panels cpr, but still retaining the detailed forecast pages that are already available.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
My bad, I forgot the -.png in the digits folder. It is in the panelicons folder. Quick fix for you is to copy it from \Program Files\FeatherWeather\panelicons over to \Program Files\FeatherWeather\digits folder. Then run an update and it should work, did for me. It was just leaving the old digits where "-" should have been since it didn't find the file. Added it to my fix list for next version;) Thanks for the feedback
[HTC Excalibur] redmach1_04:
Where is this 27 page thread is there a "how-to" on getting the detailed forcast pages? All I see the the panel where the clock is that updates with current weather and the alt pages that can be activated as extra panels.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] redmach1_04:
Nevermind, I found the forcast info from a previous page.
[HTC Excalibur] nzoka:
Thanks it worked. Good program.
[HTC Excalibur] 123SIT:
Thanks

I was having this same problem and this completely resolved it. Thanks show, greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] gbenrus25:
lagasi, in version 2.10 or 2.11 (not sure which one), the expanded clock layout also displayed the weather condition at that time (i.e. rain, snow or ...). The new version (2.12) doesn't. Could you please add it back? Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] lagasi:
I took that out on purpose since by looking at the icon/picture, you should be able to know the condition.

If you want to add that back in, you can edit the Feather.mscr file. Go to line about 530 and you will see the txt0, txt1, ... lines. The condition variable is ccond. Something like:

txt0 = ccond & ", " city & " feels like " & realfeel & "°" & units
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
One tiny adjustment

Ok, so feather weather - fantastic app. One problem remains (hope only one now, lol). The temperatures on the forecasts are offset a little bit as is visible below. I'm sure that this is an easy change. Thanks in advance.
