WUnderground Widget

JeffreyUtter

Robert,
I really like this widget. When querying a location, it provides 3 locations close together.
Is there a way to show 8 locations closest to the query?
Thanks.
Jeff

Tim,

This widget ha been taken down as the WeatherUnderground guys have changed the old way of doing things and does not have a open crossdomain.xml so they have killed my widget.

Hello Robert,

This looks like a great widget to include in my new project. For the life of me I can't find where to download it. I found the download for version 2.1 but not the latest. Thanks!

rscheitlin

All,

There is a new version of this widget available:

Version 3.0.1 - Sept 20, 2012
* Fixed issue with PopUp and returned it to the more enhanced look that existed in 2.5.1 version.
* Added link alias to the configuration xml.

Jeff,

you need to rename the old 2.4 version folder not the new one. The new has to be WeatherUnderground.

JeffreyUtter

Robert,
As you know, I'm running FV 2.4
I renamed the Weatherunderground folder to WeatherUnderground2 and made the current WeatherUnderground code in the config file inactive.
I installed your latest compiled version and added 8 locations in the WUndergroundWidget.xml
I set the config to Preload="close"
When I ran it I get the dreaded Application Error #2036
The 8 locations do come up, but no popsups.
I ran fiddler and saw in red;
GET WeatherInfoPopupWidget.swf    404 Not Found localhost 1.6 KB 127.0.0.1:80 15ms

It looks like its not seeing the WeatherInfoPupupWidget.swf, but it's there under the WeatherUnderground2 folder.
Did I mess up?

Guys,

You need to look at the latest version 2.5.1.

Version 2.5.1 - Feb 26, 2012
* Added multi search capabilities. Just add your searches to the text box with a + sign
stringing them together (i.e. KBHM+KATL+KANB or Anniston, AL+Oxford, AL).
* Weather Radar Images and Forecasts now have drop downs for when multi searches are done.
* Auto close time for popups disabled when hovering over the popup.
* Regression made to move away from esri popups and back to infopopups as there is still a
serious error when using popups that cause widget resizing and moving to behave erratically.
* Because of the regression mentioned above you need to be sure to replace your old
UndergroundWidget.xml with this new one.
* Added zoom to all results and clear links to results page along with display of number
of observations returned.
* If a search fails for one of your multi searches a message informs you with one failed to
return results.
* If you are using the uncompiled version then this version requires that you add the
WeatherInfoPopupWidget.mxml to the modules list as well.

Hope you like the new version.

Jeff,

I would hang tight as I am going to look at this today and see if I can improve the widget to fit querying multiple locations.

First, make some copies of the 'WUndergroundWidget.xml' and add an inceremental number to the end. Then in the main config.xml do something like this:

<widget left="20" top="20" preload="open" config="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.xml" url="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.swf"/> 
    <widget left="20" top="20" preload="open" config="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget1.xml" url="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.swf"/> 
    <widget left="20" top="20" preload="open" config="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget2.xml" url="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.swf"/> 
    <widget left="20" top="20" preload="open" config="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget3.xml" url="widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.swf"/>

Keep in mind this is only really going to work if you actually hide the entire widget as well...otherwise you will have four copies of the widget floating around on your map.

JeffreyUtter

I like that idea of creating multiple xml's in the config file, but I errored out.
Can you give me a sample code on how you did it?

philippschnetzer

I also had to show several locations. I just created duplicates of the configurable xml file and loaded the widget in the main config.xml once for each xml I needed.

Also, I preload all of this when the map loads and hide the widget from view - this way just the icon appears on the map and the user does not have to interact with a widget at all. I am loading 7 xml files in the main config.xml and find that it takes about 5 seconds for all the results to display on the map. To do this on a national scale - I wouldn't recommend it the way I am doing it but it may be possible to hardcode something in the main code rather than have to go through hundreds of xml files...

Robert - sorry if it seems like I hacked your widget all to pieces. It really is a great tool - but in my area I was not getting any info for the 7 day forecast or for the radar - so I just decided it would be easier for the user to just not have to deal with it at all.

rscheitlin

Sorry guys I don't control what WeatherUnderground allows.

DanPfeffer

Agreed. I have a client that wants a display for the nation or cities of interest. Great widget!

JeffreyUtter

OK, I understand. For those working with huge geographic areas, more than 3 weather stations would really help.

rscheitlin

Jeff,

No, there really is not. What happens is the weatherunderground uses the zip, city, airport code, etc to do a geo lookup and provides the closest airport weather stations, but it does not allow for you to specify any tolerance or a specific number of desired returns.
