Weather Underground Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 03:12:13 GMT

All,

I have been waiting for the Final release of the FlexViewer 2.1 before I started to push out some widgets I have been working on.

Here is my Weather Underground widget

More FlexViewer 2.1 widgets to come stay tuned...

I wanted to take use of it but Weather Underground doesn't seem to have much stations in Ontario, does it?

Robert,

Thanks for the useful Widget! If you continue to develop it, it might be neat to include the ability to use several fixed locations instead of a search or single default search.

cheers, Paul

Thanks Robert. It does bring me to London if I type in a small town nearby such Simcoe, Ontario. If will be great if the Weather network has Flex API available, which provides more stations.

I love this widget. I have had the Weather Underground widget on my viewer for some time, but now I am getting this error.

Christina,

The real issue is that the XML file is not available from your server. when you go to the url that you provided it should bring up the xml file and it does not so you have an issue there.

Robert,

Sorry I am really confused as to how to fix this. The widget was working prior to yesterday.

I increased the permission settings for the .xml file on the server. I still could not see the xml file. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled it on the site. Now I am getting this error:

Christina,

You will always get this error when running the WeatherUnderground widget from the C: Drive as it is exactly what the error says "A Security Violation". When you publish the app to IIS and run it from there you will not get that specific error any more. So I take it that you are seeing the WUndergroundWidget.xml in the virtual directory on your web server than?...

ChristinaMcCullough — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:00:40 GMT

Strange, but I am now getting the previous error??? The xml file is on the server with extended permissions. I am officially stumped. Would Flash compile this incorrectly??

Christina,

Just to be sure Flex is case sensitive is the file named EXACTLY : http://mccullough-consulting.net/Working/widgets/WeatherUnderground/WUndergroundWidget.xml?

ChristinaMcCullough — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:19:29 GMT

I just noticed the g was not correct in the config.xml file. It is now fixed. Thanks!!

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:51:41 GMT

All,

A new and improved version is now available.
