I have investigated my issue with the Celsius/Fahrenheit setting a bit more and have discovered that the temperature values were actually correct but the C/F always displayed as F. I manually changed the F to a C in the Widget Format area of the control panel (ensure you have sufficient rw file permissions or you will break the plugin).

Hey presto! The widget displays my temperatures in Celsius

Great plugin. I am using Wordpress v.2.8.4 and am having the same problem as skypanic, I can't get the Celsius option to display. I have selected it in the Configuration panel but the display still shows Fahrenheit.

Cheers.

Rather than using $data = file_get_contents($uri) on line 58, you can use the Wordpress API.

$request = new WP_Http;
$result = $request->request( $uri );
$data = $result['body'];

This enables more flexibility for shared hosting users that do not have the ability to edit external file retrievals.

Is there a way to include the widget in the header?

I tried using "php include" but it didn't work.

Thanks.

It shows always the wrond location. I'm looking for Aosta, Italy and the corresponding querystring is: Aosta+Italy+ITXX0103, but if I'll insert this code inside the gadget, it will show Turin, Italy. Near to Aosta, but not it. I searched a more precise site, Valtournenche, Aosta, Italy, and the code result is 666007:11 but in the gadtget it corresponsd at Le Moleson, SWITZERLAND.
Any idea?
Thank you.

I LOVE this widget, tis my fav out of them all, and I've went through dozens of dynamic weather sources and this is all I really wanted in the first place. Thank you for simplicity!

I'm also trying to figure out how to add an additional location. I tried adding two copies of the weather.php file in two different plugin folders but that didn't work either…

Hi,

I'm using your plugin on my site, but can it be that this service of weather.com has changed? when echo-ing $data, I don't see ,, … it just isn't xml! Do you have any idea how this 'new' xml can be parsed?

Hi, thanks for widget…I am havig an issue with the plugin…It is displaying both values in same units…for example, weather here in Kampala Uganda is displayed as Kampala, UGANDA 20 °F (20 °F) and 68 °F (68 °F) instead of, supposedly, 20 °C (68 °F)…I have not changed any values….any ideas???
