Weather Mod Support (Modzzz)

This is the Support forum for the Weather mod.

Great module!!! We are very satisfied with it. Especially the integration in the different modules.

We have one question about the "rounding" of the degrees. Now he's to accurate ;)
It's now 2.9°C (35.6°F) in Maastricht, The Netherlands. That should be rounded to 3°C.

When it is 15.4°C that bust be rounded to 15°C and the same with the fahrenheit. That must be rounded also.

The  day before yesterday it was according to the weather module -1............................°C ( seriously 8 or 10 numbers after the decimal point :P ) That is slightly to accurate, unless you have a weather station ;)

Is there a way we can easily set this? 

Tried a bunch of things but can't get the temperature rounded. For example now it is 0.10000000000002°C. That must me rounded to 0°C in this case.

Rounding has been applied to the Temperature figures. Re-upload the modules\modzzz\weather\classes folder.

Now it's 275°C here. Before updating it was 2.7°C. If it's 2.7°C it must be rounded to 3°C. If it would be 2.4°C it must be rounded to 2°C.

In overview:
If < ...,5°C it must be rounded down
If > ...,5°C it must be rounded above

Re-upload the files. In modules\modzzz\weather\classes\BxWeatherTemplate.php, find :

$iRoundingFactor = 1;

Replace with :

$iRoundingFactor = 0;

I re-uploaded all the files, did the file changes, but still it isn't working. Also I don't see any temperature in Celsius.

The login credentials I send you last week are still active, so you can take a look around.
For example the weather module is placed on the location pages.

Thanks to some help from Modzzz via PM everything works. Great service!!!

 Was this fixed in the files. Do I need to re-download and over right the files again? I really don't think it is 292 degrees in Largo, Florida.. LOL..

Some updates have been made to this module. Please download again and re-install.

Ok Thank You modzzz.. Did you get my message about this module? Let me know what you think.. Thanks

Just re-download and over written all files on the server. Cleaned all cache and re-config the lang file for the weather. Still have the same. Here is my screen shot of my account. let me tell you.. Good thing I am in UT right now.. It is hot in Largo, Florida.. LOL..

 If you have re-installed and have not made any changes in the settings, it should be showing in Celcius so something is wrong here. Are you seeing a setting in the Admin section that says 'Unit of measurement' ?

No Sir.. Will re-download and over write again.. Only see:

That fixed it.. Now it is 68 at Largo, Florida.. LOL.. Had to re-download. Un-install on the server. Remove from the server. then re-upload to the server and then re-install.. All works great now.. Thank you..

To place the weather module as a block on a page u can add the module in the weather admin panel, then automatically a page block is created with this code:
bx_import('BxDolService'); return BxDolService::call('weather', 'module_block', array($this->aDataEntry['id'], 'location')); 

In the Places module we use a custom block with some info, directions etc. of the location and we like to add the weather there directly. So without another block only for the weather. Is there an easy way to call this action in a custom block?

 Is it a custom PHP or HTML block ?

PHP

Did you find a code to do that? Never heard back since two weeks ago?

@bellhophil - If you are using a PHP block on the actual location view page then the code works. Instead of using return, assign the output to a variable and echo it  :

bx_import('BxDolService'); 
$sWeatherInfo =  BxDolService::call('weather', 'module_block', array($this->aDataEntry['id'], 'location'));
echo $sWeatherInfo;

Thanks! It worked :)

Is it also possible to load the map that is placed on the location view pages? We also like to include it there. So you get a slide with all the info. 

 I have sent you via PM the location map code. Please keep this thread focused on the weather module :)

Thanks. I send you a message back, because it wasn't working.

This module is now compatible with Dolphin 7.2 . For those upgrading from Dolphin 7.1, please check the upgrade folder for instructions.

Version 2.0.1 released. (See patches/version 2.0.1 folder)

The Weather module now requires an API Key. Check the patch folder for details.

This looks interesting. One to think about for our locations, groups, hotels and business modules.

Where is the test mod? Can't find it on the demo site.
