Is anyone here able make this little pluggin active ? Me not. In the list of sbars I click at the bottom on refresh yweather does not appear. With the first version released last month I had succeeded but difficultly. I renamed the file by adding the extension '.sbar. But I did not understand how to retrieve the ID code of my city and I erased it. Right now I realized that the identifying code of a city is in the address, once the city found by yahoo weather.

It's not a screenbar module, it's a separate program which has to be run from shell or S:user-network-startup etc. It really would be nicer as a real screenbar module, but I don't know why author hasn't made it like that.

From its readme:
Code:

Installation:

  - copy contents of "SYS" to SYS:
  These are the icons for the weather conditions.
  I used VClouds from http://vclouds.deviantart.com/ and resized them
  to 16 pixels height with ShwoGirls.
  
  You can replace them with your own images.
  
  - copy "yWeather" anywhere, f.e. C:.
  
  If you want to start "yWeather" on startup, you can add it to your s:user-network-startup
  with "Run >NIL: c:yWeather"

Hi,

like jPV said, its not a .sbar module, it creates the module on runtime.
But what wonders is that you could started it by renaming it to yWeather.sbar!?

I didn`t created it as sbar module, because I didn`t found an example in ECX to create one
It was already hard to create it as runtime module

To get your WOEID, have a look in the readme, its described there, or download the new v1.2
where you can search for it from the settings page! You can also change the text color and its localized.

It's just an external MUI class with some extra Query info tags...

I know, I already wrote mccs in C and AmigaOberon but not yet in E
There is a library mode in ECX, I guess I have to use this, I did not found an example, but I did not searched very well
I also use MUIM_Application_AddInputHandler, which I can't, when I'm a sbar, right?

Why not? Just remember you can only have it registered between Setup and Cleanup.

Can I use _app(obj)? Or do I have to create a fake app?

Of course you can use _app(obj) after MUIM_Setup. This is a regular MUI application after all...

I found something on the hd, an mcc example for ecx.
I once had example for sbar also, but it's gone now.
Mattias "UltraGelb" Böcker would have one but he has left the
scene for some time now. But maybe he is reading this..
Anyhoo..

What is the minimum MorphOS version that this "yWeather" utility works with.

I have MOS3.2 installed, and know I should update to MOS v3.5.1 but there isn't much that affects/improves the Mac Mini's behaviour/performance, that I am aware of, between v3.2 and v3.5.1, but if "yWeather" needs a later release than v3.2 then I could understand why "yWeather" v1.2 just starts (momentarily appears in my menu bar) then stops/disappears, and is not shown in Exchange as a running commodity.

I'd just like to know if it's the release versions newer than v3.2 that is stopping this utility from running properly on my Mac Mini.
MacMini 1.5GHz,64MB VRAM, PowerBooks A1138/9 (Model 5,8/9),PowerMac G5 2.3GHz(DP), iMac A1145 2.1GHz 20", all with MorphOS v3.18+,Airport,Bluetooth,A1016 Keyboard,T-RB22 Mouse,DVD-RW-DL,MiniMax,Firewire/USB2 & MacOSX 10.4/5

What makes you think that? It does not matter that the changelog does not mention the Mini specifically. 3.3-3.5 had some important networking improvements for instance.

Hello guys,

I have got yweather working successfully on my pegasos 2 and on my powermac g4. But on powermac g4 I obtain at every boot a warning message. Here is what it says. And here is the log obtained by debug. Then I click on 'okay', I go and click on the program. It indicates 'updating' and I obtain the weather for my town.

First: MorphOS is not OS4. MorphOS is the same on all systems and behaves the same. That is why there is only one ISO, to keep all systems in line and on equal state. If something fails, then it does not depend on the system unless it requires some specific driver/feature, which is not fully implemented or available on a specific system.

Usually such things can be caused GFX driver or the lack of memory. So if a complete hardware independant application fails, it is highly unlikly a problem with MorphOS on that specific system, unless it is not up to date.

In this case it seems you have a broken/not up to date reggae installation. Make sure you installed latest MorphOS, as http.stream is part of the os. Removing obsolete classes from sys:classes/multimedia cannot hurt. AFAIR there are no external classes anymore, since they got integrated.

Also possible the given url is simply wrong, the server is offline or your system is not online, when launching the tool. Cannot remember right now when it fails in such condition.

I have still in SYS:Classes/Multimedia:

- flac.decoder 51.2 (05.06.13) © 2012-2013 Grzegorz Kraszewski

Are these classes obsolete?

Are you sure, you started yWeather in s:user-network-startup not s:user-startup?

Seems so, that the network is not up on first update!

Also your WOEID is 0, thats strange.

Anyway, I "transformed" yWeather to a real sbar now. I'll have to do some tests before you can try it.

@jaca

should I have to wait for network to be online on first startup?
What would be the way for this?

Because on first reboot, the PublicScreenManager was frozen (hits in logtool from yWeather), my sbar updated successfully although, maybe it was to early or something.
But on second reboot no hits everything normal.

You can setup an exec.library notification for Library list changes and wait for bsdsocket.library to show up before doing any networking. You may still have to repeat a request attempts several times since the availability of bsdsocket does not guarantee that network is configured.

This is a very useful program! Thanks! If I could make a suggestion; I would like to be able to choose width. It's taking up a lot of dead space that doesn't look too pretty.

I will ask on meta-morphos.org for a french tranlator. And also one in spanish and one in italian, if possible for them.

I added now a "Width" setting, but I don't really know how to update the width in realtime...
I tried MUI_Redraw(obj, MADF_DRAWOBJECT/UPDATE), but this doesn't work...jaca?
You have to press the "Test" button, to update the width for now;(

You need to trigger a relayout by doing a MUIM_GroupInitChange and MUIM_Group_Exitchange2 on the _parent(obj) of your sbar.

Thanks! Works like a charm!
And how can I trigger a MUIM_CleanUp/MUIM_SetUp?
I need it to update the input handler for the rate of the automatic weather reload.

How can I be notified when the user pressed the "Use" or "Save" button?
I think it would be better to change the update-interval of the input handler then, instead of everytime the user changes the value.

Another problem is that when I start MOS then the program doesn't work on startup every two times. It stops the entire bootup until it gives up and let's the rest of the OS load. This is quite annoying and should be fixed.
