AccuWeather adding more cities

[aiden11]

Hello,

I would like to add more destinations to AccuWeather but dont know how

<option value="EUR|IT|IT012|TORINO">Italy - Torino</option>

For example if i want to add a city in Lithuania where do i find the "LT00" number?

Thanks

Look at accuweather.com web site

For example, Lithuania - Kaunas:
http://www.accuweather.com/en-us/lt/kaunas/kaunas/quick-look.aspx
EUR|LT|LH013|KAUNAS

It is better to search in their RSS section (Choose a location -> example: Kaunas,LT and click "SET"):

Hello I am trying to determine the area code for the following link in accuweather site:

http://www.accuweather.com/en/br/barra-grande/40563/weather-forecast/40563

BEst I could come up was:

BRZ | BR | BR40563 | BARRA-GRANDE

Can anyone help

[bgkres]

Allright, I was able to figure out the custom area code:

SAM|BR|BR016|BARRA GRANDE

But it´s not giving out the weather, check www.piauibarragrade.com

Help?

Your server strips out vertical lines "|" so this: "SAM|BR|BR016|BARRA GRANDE" becomes this: "SAMBRBR016BARRA GRANDE" after save. This is why it doesn't work. I will release a new version that will accept commas "," instead of "|". Please wait some minutes.

I released AccuWeather v1.3 thats also supports commas "," instead of vertical lines "|".
Your correct zip code is: SAM|BR|BR005|BARRA+GRANDE (in your case written as SAM,BR,BR005,BARRA+GRANDE)
Note the plus "+" between the words, no spaces allowed.
I installed it in your site and now it works fine: http://www.piauibarragrande.com/

You can find any zip code from here: http://netweather.accuweather.com/

i need to add more city to get weather information.can any body guide me how i could add more city in same country.quick reply appreciated.

You can add more cities by modifying the extension's XML file.
Off course you must first find the zip codes for the locations you are interested in. Check my previous posts for this.

Open the XML file mod_accuweather.xml and find this:
<param name="areacode" type="list" default="EUR,GR,GR007,ATHENS" dir="ltr" label="CX_ACCU_LOC" description="CX_ACCU_LOCD">
At the end of the list (below Kiev, Ukraine) add this:
<option value="MEA,SA,SA011,JEDDAH">Jeddah, Saudi Arabia</option>
<option value="MEA,SA,SA011,MAKKAH">Makkah, Saudi Arabia</option>
After these the closing tag should follow:
</param>
Save XML and you are ready. It should work fine.

The module uses cache. You may need to delete the cached file to new the changes.
The cache file is named like this:
cache/mod_accuweather/accu_xxxxxxxx.xml
or this:
cache/mod_accuweather_ssl/accussl_xxxxxxxx.xml
