Weather Underground Widget Question

Hi Robert,
I am trying to modify your widget for use in Canada. It works very well already since weather underground also provides weather forecasts for Canada. However, when i click a point it often brings up an error message:

[error event target:[object GeometryService]

event type: fault

fault code: 400

fault info: unable to complete project operation.]

Do you know what could be causing this?

M Giles,

Try pointing the geometry service to your own server instead of using esri's

In the WUndergroundWidget.xml change:

<geometryservice>http://yourserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer</geometryservice>

Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check and to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below:

Ok thanks so much Robert as always.

One more thing - when i search in the text box for cities in Canada it returns nothing...is it possible to modify the code to find locations ONLY in Canada??

Thx again

M Giles,

Are you using locations like "Vancouver, British Columbia" or "Sherbrooke, Qubec"? Or use a Postal code like K1A 0A1 or an airport code like CYVR.

M Giles,

Well that is the issue the geolookup does not know where to look for "Vancouver" you need to specify that it is in Vancouver, British Columbia Just like trying to search in the US for Charolette vs Charolette, SC.

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.
