Is it possible to show automated weather data with geotargeting (visitor nearest weather station)?

For whatever reason the widget isn’t loading the icons for sunny, cloudy etc. I did a little checking and it’s looking for the icons at http://www.google.comhttp://g0.gstatic.com/images/icons/onebox/weather_scatteredthunderstorms-40.gif
when it should be actually going to that same site without the google part in front. So I don’t know when or how this changed but it’s been like this for a week or 2 now and it’d be great if it could be fixed.

Thanks

I love this widget very much, I’d like to keep using, but it doesn’t load the icons.
I have checked the urls of the broken image icons; they are wrong:

http://www.google.com/http://g0.gstatic.com/images/icons/onebox/weather_partlycloudy-40.gif

http://www.google.comhttp//g0.gstatic.com/images/icons/onebox/weather_sunny-40.gif

How to fix this?

I love your plugin!

I found this fix when my weather icons stopped showing and the fix works fine, but could tell me where I could change teh background behind the images? I need the background behind the weather to be black…

1. Login to admin
2. Plugins > Editor > WP Google Weather > wp-google-weather.php
3. Change all (4) instance of this…

http://www.google.com'.$conditions

to THIS…

Basically, you're just removing the hard coded call to Google.com from the IMG source URL's. Apparently that is no longer needed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I had to make some changes to your code, it seems that Google may have changed there xml to include the full URL of the weather images. You can see this if you look at your own weather on this site, the Google images are missing.

In the php file wp-google-weather.php:

you need to strip out the http://www.google.com in 4 places, for example:

becomes

The images will now appear.

Hope this helps.

Patrick.

Greetings! Thanks for your work on the weather plugin. I also have the same problem as others regarding the missing current weather image. If I use the shortcode in a post everything is good. How can this be corrected? Thanks!

Hey mate,

i’m looking at the instructions and to a lay person (or idiot such as myself)they’re hard to follow.

I download the zip file and extracted but then how do I:

upload the files to /wp-content/plugins/wp-google-weather/

thanks.
