If you want to, you can open the .conkyrc_int_im file and replace the strings "TEMP:", "WIND:", "HUM:", etc. with their equivalent in spanish.

Thanks again Teo.. I can see TODAY... but not the rest of the days..

You have changed /home/teo to /home/yourusername, haven't you?

OOps, I forgot to say above, the last info I posted in the code box was the contents of the "current_raw" directory, it's HTML text.

I went and deleted everything in the accuweather_conky_USA folder except the accuw_USA_script and made sure the script was as you posted then restarted the conky. WHen I do that the only information showing up is the time and date, I don't get the forecast or images that I was.

This is the rest of it, could the problem be here somewhere ?

I probe change - for + , but I dont have images...

This is my url:

Any idea?

Thanks

Use this line ending with: ?cityID=60449

Code:

HEAVY EDIT - I have Spanish working for Buenos Aires - now for some final tweaks:

Gracias mgalvezb and thank you Teo ....

Using accuw_USA_script location I posted last night I see your temps with no errors.

**TeoBigusGeekus** · November 7th, 2011

UPDATE - Scripts 1d and 1e re-bundled
The conkyrcs of both scripts use a lot of images, so conky caches them. The result is that the images never update. The solution is to put

Code:

imlib_cache_size 0

in your conkyrc file (settings section). If you already have the script and the conkyrc, don't bother downloading them again: that's the only change to the package, you can do it manually.
Scripts rebundled.

**mgalvezb** · November 7th, 2011

Thanks Teo and Sector11 . My conky works finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teo, I appreciate your work on this endeavour. Please accept this is what I see as a member of a community across different Linux distros and WM.

One of the things that kaivalagi did with conkyforecast was use of standard icons. All the sed calls change the standard iconsets being used across platform including Gnome, KDE, XFCE, E-17, etc, etc, etc. All the download of an icon every XXX seconds is a waste when they could be cached in a font or /wicon directly and called locally ending the loops and calls.

This is icon code 1 in the Accuweather iconset.

This equals 32 for TWC

I don't know enough about the programming to change my code, but would like to reduce my CPU and RAM load. Can the script recall local icons and current developed icons sets?

[/soapbox]

edit I found techno-mole already decoded standard Accuweather iconset in this post. hmmmm now to combine the codes.

**TeoBigusGeekus** · November 7th, 2011

Don't worry about cpu and ram usage. The images are all recalled from your pc.
If you look into the script's folder (Int or USA), the images are all located inside the Forecast_Images folder - no image is ever downloaded.
The script just downloads some text every 10 min or so, then parses it to isolate the important info and finds out which image to display from this text alone.
From the conky documentation:

imlib_cache_size Imlib2 image cache size, in bytes. Defaults to 4MiB. Increase this value if you use $image lots. Set to 0 to disable the image cache.

Before putting this setting inside conkyrc, conky cached the displayed images.
This caused the forecast not to update the images (from your local folder may I remind you once more) instantly.
But even before putting

Code:

imlib_cache_size 0

in your conkyrc, the max amount you would burden your ram was 4mb - not a big deal IMO.
Of course, after putting it, you take away any additional caching burden.

As you can see from the following screenshot, conky, even after adding a few more details, ie. cpu, ram, network info, takes about 1.50% of cpu power (of a Pentium 4 @ 1GH) and 0.58% of ram (of 1Gb @ 333mz, which is about 6MB).

PS: At this point, I would like to apologize for the constant updates of the last 2 scripts. I know I should have tested them for a week or so before posting them, but I wanted to share ASAP.

Actually putting them out as you did does more good then bad.

The code gets tested on different machines, distros, DE's or WM's For example, my setup:

Debian testing - no DE - just the WM (OpenBox).

And because I'm testing for a friend: Debian testing with Xfce4 - the same conky runs just fine.

Side Note: I have always used

Code:

imlib_cache_size 0

from day one Images or not it's a standard in all my conkys. - Since I use the same above TEXT for all conkys.

@ Boomer: keep those conkyForecast images as they only have 6 days to live anyway. Converting them won't be so bad, just rename them to match what is in your /Forecast_Images folder. Some config changes will be needed - those images are square not rectangular.

KUDOS to Teo for the great work he's put in on this project!
Something for everyone and with a change in two lines - multilingual as well
