This let's you choose 4 day (default), 7 day, weekend or 36 hour forecasts for the home weather popup.


Requires the Weather.com Plus Plugin which you can get with the SVN Repo Installer.

To use:
1. grab this package and copy folders into your aeon folder. http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/pa...er_mod.zip
2. add this to font.xml.
PHP Code:
<!-- Widgets -->
    <font>
   <name>Font_WidgetLarge</name>Font_WeatherTempSmallHigh
   <filename>aeon_title.ttf</filename>
   <size>50</size>
 </font>  
 <font>
   <name>Font_WidgetMedium</name>Font_WeatherPrecip
   <filename>aeon_title.ttf</filename>
   <size>45</size>
 </font>  
    <font>
   <name>Font_WidgetSmall</name>Font_WeatherTempSmallLow
   <filename>aeon_title.ttf</filename>
   <size>40</size>
 </font> 
3. add this to includes.xml
PHP Code:
<include file="Widget_Weather.xml" /> 
4. edit home.xml
PHP Code:
<include condition="!StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)">Objects_WeatherPopup</include>
 <include condition="StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)">Widget_Weather</include> 
5. edit customisation.xml after id="500"
PHP Code:
<control type="radiobutton" id="501">
   <include>Objects_SettingsDefaultRadioButton</include>
   <label>31254</label>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget36Hour)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidgetWeekend)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget7Day)</onclick>
   <selected>[!Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidget36Hour) + !Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidgetWeekend) + !Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidget7Day)] | !StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)</selected>
            <enable>!Skin.HasSetting(noweatherpopup)</enable>
  </control>
  <control type="radiobutton" id="507">
   <include>Objects_SettingsDefaultRadioButton</include>
   <label>31257</label>
   <onclick>Skin.SetBool(WeatherWidget7Day)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget36Hour)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidgetWeekend)</onclick>
   <selected>Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidget7Day)</selected>
            <enable>!Skin.HasSetting(noweatherpopup) + StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)</enable>
  </control>
  <control type="radiobutton" id="504">
   <include>Objects_SettingsDefaultRadioButton</include>
   <label>31255</label>
   <onclick>Skin.SetBool(WeatherWidget36Hour)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidgetWeekend)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget7Day)</onclick>
   <selected>Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidget36Hour)</selected>
            <enable>!Skin.HasSetting(noweatherpopup) + StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)</enable>
  </control>
  <control type="radiobutton" id="505">
   <include>Objects_SettingsDefaultRadioButton</include>
   <label>31256</label>
   <onclick>Skin.SetBool(WeatherWidgetWeekend)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget36Hour)</onclick>
   <onclick>Skin.Reset(WeatherWidget7Day)</onclick>
   <selected>Skin.HasSetting(WeatherWidgetWeekend)</selected>
   <enable>!Skin.HasSetting(noweatherpopup) + StringCompare(Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)</enable>
  </control> 
6. add these to strings.xml
PHP Code:
<string id="31254">- 4 DAY FORECAST</string>
 <string id="31255">- 36 HOUR FORECAST</string>
 <string id="31256">- WEEKEND FORECAST</string>
 <string id="31257">- 7 DAY FORECAST</string>
 
 <string id="31630">4 DAY</string>
 <string id="31631">7 DAY</string>
 <string id="31632">36 HOUR</string>
 <string id="31633">WEEKEND</string>
 <string id="31634">ALERT(S)</string> 

PS! This uses the new Weather Plugin API in XBMC and the Weather.com Plus Plugin for that API.

@andyblac, on xbox? there is an xbmc bug if you use the weather plugin and are launching the recentlyadded.py script, they can error. on windows it crashes xbmc, there is a fix on trac, but it may not be a proper fix since they didn't commit it.

@logictester, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...her+plugin all the properties are listed in the first post. 36 hour humidity is not available.

it's finding your location or else you have errors for each section. the info for 36 hour or weekend should still work.

works fine for me on osx, what is your location.

spennymoor, UK is not found at www.weather.com even though the city does show in the search field. it would use uk.weather.com. the pages are different so you would need a new plugin.

maybe some enterprising uk resident will make one.

@Nuka1195

Hi,

your Mod looks very nice, so i would give it a try. But i'm new to the Aeon skin. Can you please tell me how i can add the weather.com plugin. Under Mediastream i can add plugins and scripts via menu, but in Aeon i can't find it.

Thanx

Efty

@logictester

Thanx for the advice, but under Mediastream i found the Repo Installer under Settings/Plugins. Nod Here in Aeon i didn't find the Plugins. Sad So i can't use the Repo Installer to install the Weather.com Plugin. Shocked

Can you please tell me where i find the Plugins under Aeon!?

Thanx again.
