Version Compatibility

This module has been tested and found to work correctly with Asterisk version 1.8 and earlier and with FreePBX 2.10 and earlier.

Developer Notes

This module is basically a GUI for the actual script file maintained by Nerd Vittles. The module file /agi-bin/nvweather-zip.php is a nearly identical copy of the Nerd Vittles script file /agi-bin/nv-weather-zip.php. Apart from the name change, there are two sections where code has been altered from the original script, and starting in version 1.2.1 those sections are commented including the text #module

The Nerd Vittles script is currently available at: http://nerdvittles.com/trixbox123/nv-weather-zip.zip

and the NV Weather by Zip page is currently at: http://bestof.nerdvittles.com/applications/weather-zip/
