where can i find this file. I did a search and couldn't find it. How about neon612 he has more than four days.

You're looking for the .conkyForecast.config file correct?

It should be in your home directory. You may have to show hidden files to actually see it. If you're running Gnome just hit Ctrl+H and it should show everything.

Let us get back to you on that. I think Neon612 just found something the rest of us didn't notice before (Or were oblivious when it was brought up/solved the first time) and I'm working on it. This may change my answer to you.

Indeed, I think I found it too. But I have to check to verify. I'm making a preliminary test file to see if I can do it. Hold on.

Well I'll be frazzled... Indeed you can have multi-day forecasts... Here's what you want to do:

Edit the file ~/.conkyForecast.config in the following ways. (The ~ means /home/yourusername if you're looking for it in your favourite file manager.)

MAXIMUM_DAYS_FORECAST=5 (Or, really, 7 works too.)

And also change these two lines:

BASE_XOAP_URL = http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/<LOCATION>?cc=*&dayf=5&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=<XOAP_PARTNER_ID>&key=<XOAP_LICENCE_KEY>&unit=m
#BASE_XOAP_URL = http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/<LOCATION>?cc=*&dayf=10&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=<XOAP_PARTNER_ID>&key=<XOAP_LICENCE_KEY>&unit=m

So that the hash (#) is on the other URL line, like this:

#BASE_XOAP_URL = http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/<LOCATION>?cc=*&dayf=5&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=<XOAP_PARTNER_ID>&key=<XOAP_LICENCE_KEY>&unit=m
BASE_XOAP_URL = http://xml.weather.com/weather/local/<LOCATION>?cc=*&dayf=10&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=<XOAP_PARTNER_ID>&key=<XOAP_LICENCE_KEY>&unit=m

This will let you code 5 days forecast, though I would imagine up to 10 days will work, as long as you tell the MAXIMUM_DAYS_FORECAST to use 10.

From here, you can now just continue on and add the 5 days of variables the same way as you did with your others. Nothing changed, just change the start day to 5 and you will get the 5th day's forecast.

@Neon612, Thanks for the head's up! I missed where he fixed that.

Thanks to both 42dorian and Neon612 and also rusty_jones for your question.

Glad I could be of service. I also did a little digging. The absolute max is 10 days, day 0-9.

[Icche Ghuri]

lol, I put my location, id, and key into the xml link and paste it in the browser. It gives me all the forecasts informations. Nice thing

[42dorian]

And just to show what the result is, I whipped up one of my experiments to show off. I won't be keeping it all the time, but it's nice to know I can do it.

And a screenshot of it in action. Showing it works.

[landwell]

Not entirely true. Somewhere on here about a year ago I found a way to get the weather for today and the next 7 days. I'm not sure who I copied it from but I know it was in the galleries on Conky Pitstop.

Let me check on a few things and I'll get back to ya.

EDIT:
Okay Found the link http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/in...y_2010_%281%29

Look at Sector11's about halfway down the page. Theres an orange cube in the center of the screenshot.

From our compadres at #! - Post 2166, Sector11 has a nine day template.

[42dorian]

Yes Yes. We've established already that I simply missed it the first time. I'm not on the CrunchBang forums, nor am I a member of Conky-Pitstop. Now that I know, and I know how to convert from standard 4 day to 5-10 day mode, I won't say it's not possible anymore. It's been a very long time since this was an issue. I'm not perfect okay?

*EDIT* P.S. I'm colourblind. I won't see any sort of coloured anything in an example you show me. Just for future reference. Okay, I'll see it, just not in colour. I do understand shapes and locations, but you say a colour and my brain turns right off. The only reason I use Blue and Red on the forums is because I can use the word in the tag to get the effect. It's by memory, I don't actually see it.

[rusty_jones]

thanks to everyone who helped with the problem. You all are the bomb!!!
