It will work only after the first weather update since IPTWeather needs to retrieve the translated descriptions on the Internet exactly at the same moment as all the weather data.

Ok.

thank you michoob for the new version,

I have just installed,

I do not get an error any more ( I have changed IPTWtranslationLanguageCode= he (hebrew for Israel))

The Desc. filed is empty now, I understand that I have to wate for next weather update.

I will let you know later if I get the Desc. filed in hebrew.

thank you for your quick response.

Yes indeed, you'll have to wait for the next update.

Also for Hebrew, we'll see if MortScript is able to display it ;).

Hi! Lovin' your work here dude.

I am trying to do something and I need a bit of help.

What I want to happen is for S2U2 to use a custom wallpaper from my weather app cache folder (SBSH weather), which is updated every 2 hours. The idea being that my lockscreen shows a weathermap that is updated (kind of trying a live wallpaper idea).

I can select the image manually and it works good, but what I am trying to do is get the image to change after updating. I have set the weather.ini file to use a default wallpaper from my custom folder, but after running the mortscript to update IPT weather, the wallpaper path image name has changed in the S2U2 settings.

Here is my .ini file code for default wallpaper -

IPTWS2U2WallpaperExtension=jpg

IPTWS2U2WallpaperPath=\Program Files\SBSH\PocketWeather\Cache

IPTWdefautS2U2Wallpaper=\Program Files\SBSH\PocketWeather\Cache\UKXX046-6.jpg

After running an update in IPT weather, the S2U2 settings screen shows it is looking in the right folder, but looking for an image named 4.jpg and no longer looking for my custom.

I have no idea what I am doing with scripting or any of that stuff, just trying hard to get some kind of updated image as wallpaper in S2U2. Can anybody help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@drblow: your custom wallpaper pictures have to be 1.jpg, 2.jpg, ..., 9.jpg, 10.jpg, ..., 44.jpg. The IPTWdefautS2U2Wallpaper is only used when no data is available.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
The new version works like a charm :). No changings from me necessary (exept a carefully look at the weather.ini, of course).

It also works with animated *.gif wallpapers: iPhoneToday shows them un- animated.

Great work from you is also that the weather discriptions are saved in the weather.ini. So I can translate the new ones after a new weather- situation very easily. But you have to be careful when you install a new version: all your translations would be lost if you just override the file. Maybe a seperate file for the translations??

The option of more than one city is indeed not that easy I think. I don't like the idea of a lot of Mortscripts running and a lot of icons making iPT bigger and bigger. My idea (it's working but you have to change the file by hand): I have stored all my cities in the weather.ini with a ";" at the beginning. I choose which city I would like to have and remove the ";". I think this can be done with a bit of Mortscript- code (choice).

CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Thank you.

In fact, you always have to be carefull with the weather.ini file when installing a new version, but not only for the translation purpose, because you don't want to loose your own settings...

In next releases, I won't put the weather.ini file into the IPTWeather folder, but you'll have to copy it separately your self.

Thus, copying the new version will not override your own settings.

Or perhaps I could make an installation script that would just add new parameters into the weather.ini file but will not override your own settings...

So your need is to have several cities, or to be able to change cities easily?

I could make a script to change cities, and even to be able to look for cities directly from this script, so you don't have to search for the code on AccuWeather.com. That would be fun to do I guess, and I could also include a kind of My Location service to use your GPS to find the closer city to your current location when changing city.

Of course, you would have only one city loaded at a time.

It would just be a new script.

Is that ok for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
By the way, it would be great if you could post some screenshots of your use of IPTWeather. :D

I'm curious to see how it is used :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
I meant one city that can be changed easily.

COOL!!!! I am working on a swap script (Well more then one) that changes the location in the weather.ini file. This way when I want LA, I press an icon and have LA. If I want Sacramento, one press and I have sacramento. I'll post it when it is working if you want
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CheleCity:
Not working for me. I've tried every step. iphonetoday 1.3. Followed all instructions. When I run script, icon 0 goes blank and text changes to N/A. Icon 1 goes to picture of Eifel tower w/ sun, and icon 2 goes to accuweather.com, the fourth icon does nothing. When I push it again, icons do not reset. The old version would display an "data error" under icon 0 text, but when pressed would make all four icons with a question mark in it w/ correct days of week text under them. When the icon was pressed again, it would restore the other three icons as it was supposed to. That's how far I got with the other one and assumed it was a connection issue or location id issue, but jumped ship when I saw your post. Your version doesn't even get that far as I've described. Any advice before I give up?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
First check if your location code is ok:

Paste your IPTWaccuWeatherLocation location code at the end of the following line and copy-paste all in your internet browser to see if you get any data because it seems you don't retrieve right data

http://rainmeter.accu-weather.com/widget/rainmeter/weather-data.asp?location=

Also make sure you have installed MortScript 4.2.

By the way, why are you talking about "make all four icons with a question mark"? There should be more like 12 icons...

Eventually, could you post you weather.ini file and your data.xml file, please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Your script is just an IniWrite("weather.ini", "User settings", "IPTWaccuWeatherLocation", newvalue) script or does it also call the getAccuWeather.mscr script to immediately retrieve weather data?

Hum... I guess I'll add with the changeIPTWLocation.mscr script a kind of bookmark in addition of the searching feature... interesting. :p

Ideally, I should remake the code to allow several cities simultaneousely...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
@CheleCity: Do as michoob told you and I would suggest that you check the Internet- connection. The easiest way would be WLAN or ActiveSync and leave the entry

IPTWinternetConnection=wap SFR

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Just a simple file swap. It 1st swaps the weather.ini file from another location and replaces the one in the IPTWeather folder; then it changes my "telltell" icon to show what city I am at, refreshed iPT. I left off the auto run on the IPTWeather script since it was acting wierd. The issue now, is I have 4 scripts and 4 weather.ini files to deal with. I'll see if I can make it more simple.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
I am getting some wierd results now; first it was giving the wrong weather, It was not Sacramento or Moreno Valley (the only 2 cities I am using). I figured my swaping the weather.ini file was causing this so I deleted the reistry entry and started over. Now when I restart the phone, I just have the accuweather icon with no name. When I press it, it goes away with an N/A under it and creates new accu weather icon with the @ symble as the name. It worked until just recently. Attached it my weather.ini file; any ideas?

Edit

Never mind, I just pressed the icon again, it asked to update, i said yes and now everything is perfect. Well not gona try that script again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Hum... your weather.ini seems ok, so I don't really see what could have happened... Check your \iPhoneToday\icons.xml file to see what is configured in iPhoneToday...

Or perhaps just run once the getAccuWeather.mscr script to ensure data is up-to-date...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drblow:
OK, thanks for the reply. I assume by "no data" you mean that it uses the .ini file if no wallpaper is set using the S2U2 settings?

Is there any way of getting it to recognise a different name for the image? I am thinking that if we could get the image file to update then we could have a "live" wallpaper of sorts.

I can recreate the idea, but I have to manually update S2U2 every time the weather map updates. Can you think of a way this could be done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@drblow: as I said previousely, IPTWeather can update the S2U2 wallpaper automatically. Just name your weather pictures by numbers. By "no data", I mean that no weather data is available, so it happens quiet rarely in fact. If you want IPTWeather to update the S2U2 wallpaper, you don't have to do anything manually but renaming the pictures to numbers. I won't do anything else for the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
Thanks, michoob,

I installed your new 2010-07-09- version and it works great.

Two questions:

- Is it possible to shorten the text under the forecast- icons (maybe like the opportunity I have with the S2U2- text..)? I don't need the real- feel- temp, the text is too long.

- Is it possible to write a new icons.xml whenever I refresh the forecast- icons? I'd like to have them permanently but whenever I restart iPT this page is empty.

THX & CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
Ok, I'll release a new version today with two new settings:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drblow:
Thanks for your help, I understand.

The problem is that the SBSH weather app downloads the pictures with the name from the website they are fed from - in my case it is a BBCweather page. In order to download the images to SBSH pocketweather they need the image name as it is on the BBC site. So renaming the images is not really possible - well, again I could do it manually but this would be even more hassle than just changing the wallpaper in S2U2 settings.

I just thought this would be a great way of getting some kind of "live" wallpaper on the HD2 (I am so jealous of android live wallpapers!!), but obviously this method isn't going to work.

Maybe sometime S2U2 will enable downloading of an image via a web path as wallpaper, then it would be all good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@drblow: sorry, but I don't understand why you are talking about SBSH Pocketweather and BBC weather. Currently, IPTWeather retrieves weather information from AccuWeather.com and you can have your "live" wallpaper on the HD2 using IPTWeather. Could you please explain exactly what you have in mind?

EDIT: Aaah, I think I get it. What you want is to use IPTWeather to have the weather icon in S2U2, but use SPBP weather to capture some weather picture to be set as the S2U2 wallpaper. Then, if you use the S2U2 UserWeather icon, why don't you just set IPTWtodayForecastInS2U2Wallpaper=0 ?

Perhaps you just want to use IPTWeather for iPhoneToday, and SBSH PocketWeather for S2U2, but then, what you want is not a feature in IPTWeather, but more a feature in SBSH PocketWeather, or you could have a MortScript to restart S2U2 every two hours some the wallpaper is refereshed... anyway, I don't see anything to do in IPTWeather her.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drblow:
Sorry, my explaination was rubbish! :)

Yes, I am trying to use an IPTweather icon on S2U2 for the current weather, and an SBSH weather image as S2U2 wallpaper (on an HD2 not iPhone). I can select this manually in the S2U2 settings, but it seems that whenever IPTweather updates, the mortscript then takes over resetting the wallpaper with it's own commands.

I think essentially I am trying to stop the S2U2 wallpaper being re-directed to the IPT folder, but also get S2U2 to refresh the image every 2 hours as SBSH updates it. If there is a way to do this with mortscript I would be very appreciative of some help, or some links to info on how to do it.

I think if this could be done then it could be a very popular (if somewhat clumsy) addition to S2U2 - I know plenty of people on winmo would love to get "live" wallpaper for their lockscreens.

I will try the edit you suggested above as soon as I get home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
If you have IPTWtomorrowForecastInS2U2UserWeather=1 or IPTWtomorrowForecastInS2U2UserWeather=-1 and IPTWtodayForecastInS2U2Wallpaper=0, I can confirm that:

- IPTWeather will update the weather icon on S2U2

- IPTWeather will refresh the wallpaper of S2U2 without changing the path/name of the wallpaper picture

So if the wallpaper you set manually is always the same file (path + name), which would mean SBSH updates always the same picture file with up-to-date conditions, then this should work.

sunrise and sunset time

New version works fine,

Just one wondering: sunrise and sunset time I see in the popup on my PPC is one hour after the time i see in AccuWeather.com

(f.ex: in my PPC sunrise time is 5:44, in AccuWeather.com is: 4:41)

Therefore I get night icone one hour later then it should be.

I think it was like that for long time.

any idea?

Thank you michoob.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
@zvi1: do you have daylight saving time in your country? That might be the thing I have to manage yet...

What is strange is that you should have one hour difference between IPTWeather and AccuWeather.com, and not 1:03 as from your example... perhaps you haven't compared the same days?

I have checked on my side, and I can confirm that the sunrise and sunset times on the AccuWeather.com website don't manage the daylight saving time.

So the sunrise and sunset times are right on the PPC with IPTWeather.

Please check the sunrise and sunset times for your location on google and you will see that IPTWeather gives you the right time ;).

In S2U2, you can only use the single line text.

michoob, Time for my noob question.

So I followed this:

" To use IPTWeather with S2U2, extract AccuWeatherHD.zip (or S2U2wallpapers.zip or howdykeith's Accuw Lands icons) and S2U2icons.zip (or S2U2spilicons.zip) into your \Program files\S2U2\gfx folder (Overwrite files if prompted). You should have a wallpaper folder and a weather folder in the S2U2\gfx folder."

After that, I went to S2U2, but cannot find IPTWeather in the Weather selection in S2U2>Information>Weather... I cannot select IPTW

And in my start menu, I have the IPTWeather folder along with the IPTWeather LOCATION and Start IPTWeather. When I press IPTW, It does nothing.

As for location, I slected use My Location and updated the weather.

So my question is, am I missing something, a step or something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The_Punisher:
Hi Michoob:

Quick question (I looked in the FAQs but did not could not find anything about this). Is there any settings (or s it possible) to only change the weather forcast section on S2U2 (on top of the slider) without changing the wall paper?

If so, will it use the forecast in formation or the current weather?

Thanks for yur feedback....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michoob:
People, please also read the comment in the weather.ini file, and not only the FAQ.

You can also find many information in the changelogs.

So time for newbies, now ;).

Usually in IPTWeather, if you set a weather.ini file setting to 0, it disables the feature.

Set IPTWtodayForecastInS2U2Wallpaper=0 or nothing so IPTWeather doesn't update the S2U2 wallpaper.

Set IPTWtodayForecastInS2U2Text=0 or nothing so IPTWeather doesn't update the S2U2 slide text.

It depends on your configuration.

I think the weather.ini file is quiet self explanatory:

IPTW[B]tomorrowForecast[/B]InS2U2UserWeather=-1
;If [B]set to 1[/B], then, IPTWeather will use the UserWeather feature to display weather in S2U2. Weather pictures must be in the gfx\weather folder of S2U2. Picture names have to be the same as for accuweathericons, but without the 0 behind the digits, i.e. not "01.png" but "1.png", and the AccuWeather icon has to be "10000.png" instead of "AccuWeather.png".
;[B]Set it to -1 to have current weather[/B] in S2U2 UserWeather.[/ODE]

You don't have to select IPTWeather in S2U2.
If you have set IPTWtomorrowForecastInS2U2UserWeather=-1 or IPTWtomorrowForecastInS2U2UserWeather=1 in your weather.ini file, and if S2U2 is running (I mean that S2U2 does work as a lock application even if you screen is not locked while updating IPTWeather), then IPTWeather will automatically set S2U2 so the weather icon can be displayed in S2U2.

I guess you mean when you press "Start IPTWeather".
Yes, the default settings only schedules the next update as defined by your IPTWdelayHours and IPTWdelayMinutes settings in your weather.ini file, so by default, it will do something in 2 hours...

Check the third point in the installation steps.
By the way, as for a first test, you should better just test with the locations in the favorites. And only once you manage to make IPTWeather work, start playing with IPTWeather settings.

The images only update every 6 hours on the web, so my wallpaper only changes every 6-8 hours or so when IPTweather updates after this - but it is kind of working like I wanted it to. IPT displays the current weather icon and forecast and refreshes the image from my weather app folder so my wallpaper changes with the weather ... kind of!

If anyone else wants to enjoy this "live" wallpaper, then all you need is a weather app that will download images/radars in a jpg format - I use SBSH pocketweather - and set the S2U2 wallpaper folder to the location where your weather images are downloaded to. Then use the .ini file settings michoob posted for me previously & Bob's your auntie's live-in lover!
