Everything is in the title.

thank you in advance

[dziudek]

Could you provide more details? Did you update the module to the latest version?

After Apr 12 xml.weather.yahoo.com stopped updating the information, at least for my WOEID (468739). I did the following modifications in "/modules/mod_weather_gk4/helper.php" in order to fix it. I don't know if it's the proper way but it started working again for me.

Old Version 233
"curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w='.$this->config['WOEID']."&u=".$this->config['tempUnit']);"
New Version 233
"curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20=%20'.$this->config['WOEID'].'%20and%20u%20=%20\''.$this->config['tempUnit'].'\'&format=xml&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys');"

Old Version 250
"$this->content = file_get_contents('http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w='.$this->config['WOEID']."&u=".$this->config['tempUnit']);"
New Version 250
$this->content = file_get_contents('https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20=%20'.$this->config['WOEID'].'%20and%20u%20=%20\''.$this->config['tempUnit'].'\'&format=xml&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys');

Old Version 280
"curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w='.$this->config['WOEID']."&u=".$this->config['tempUnit']);"
New Version 280
"curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20=%20'.$this->config['WOEID'].'%20and%20u%20=%20\''.$this->config['tempUnit'].'\'&format=xml&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys');"

Old Version 296
"$this->content = file_get_contents('http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w='.$this->config['WOEID']."&u=".$this->config['tempUnit'].$encoding_url);"
New Version 296
"$this->content = file_get_contents('https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20=%20'.$this->config['WOEID'].'%20and%20u%20=%20\''.$this->config['tempUnit'].'\'&format=xml&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys');"

Old Version 333
"if(strpos(current($xml->channel[0]->description), "Error") != FALSE) {"
New Version 333
"if(strpos(current($xml->results[0]->channel[0]->description), "Error") != FALSE) {"

Old Version 338-340
"$current_info = $xml->channel[0];
$current_info2 = $xml->channel[0]->item[0];
$forecast_info = $xml->channel[0]->item[0];"
New Version 338-340
"$current_info = $xml->results[0]->channel[0];
$current_info2 = $xml->results[0]->channel[0]->item[0];
$forecast_info = $xml->results[0]->channel[0]->item[0];"

Hope it helps.

I just realized that the modifications I mentioned where for my J!3.0 installation, but the idea behind them are basically the same.

[teitbite]

I would like to report same issue. It's even the same on Gavick demo site: https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/news2/

[bobgal69]

it's a yahoo problem. Looks like that the last build of weather data was on the April11th. Here the most 'recent' data for munich.

@bobgal69 - you're right - I will investigate this issue tonight, because most probably we will need another way of retrieving Yahoo Weather API data in a way suggested by @cleizza

[dziudek]

Thanks to @cleizza I have released updated v.1.7.3: https://github.com/GavickPro/Weather/releases/tag/v.1.7.3

Please remember - if it won't help, please remove the cache directory contents.

[TGoodrich]

I just updated weather module to 1.7.3 and so far so good. Weather appears to be displaying properly and so far no random Gantry 5 crashes/errors.

Thank you for the fix!

[andres199]

And Joomla 2.5?
I have module 1.7.0 and is not working

[dziudek]

@andres199 - we not support modules for Joomla! 2.5 for a long time and I suggest you to migrate to J!3.x ASAP as your website can be vulnerable due security issues.

[andres199]

thanks dziudek, for the reply but I can not migrate. I'll have to change module. :(

[bobgal69]

Thanks for the fix and the great module!

best regards
Bob

Hi dziudek , I updated my xampp version to 1.73 but still receive the yellow '?'. cache/mod_weather.bxml and cache/mod_weather.backup.bxml are empty


and have the installation date / timestamp. Installation was based on
https://www.gavick.com/download/joomla-modules/weather
Any idea? Thanks and best regards
Markus

[dziudek]

@bobgal69 - maybe for your WOEID API returns no weather data?
