GoodWeather desklet does not work

[sergks]

After few updates in Hardy my GoodWeather desklet stopped working. It's always showing 'Loading' sign. Can somebody help me?
Also (it might be related), Gnome clock applet does not show weather but weather applet is working fine.

Thanks to Kevbert post located here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4909608&postcount=2 I found the solution.

Go to: ~/.gdesklets/Sensors/GoodWeather and open the file __init__.py in gedit. Find the line
WEATHER_SOURCE = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/" \
"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&" \

and change it to:
WEATHER_SOURCE = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/" \
"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&link=xoap&" \

Sorry. Do not know why, do not have Dapper installed. Dapper might have different version of gDesklets. But the idea is the same. Weather.com recently changed the access to the database and weather desklets stoped working. You have to find the file with weather source and change it.

Working now on Dapper, I just pasted the end of the changes onto my file rather than pasting the whole entry in as new. looked like a formatting problem.

Here i edited like this, and worked :

"http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/" \
"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&link=xoap&" \
"par=1003832479&key=bb12936706a2d601"

i found solution in this topic : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784053&highlight=weather

Worked for me. But, as I am a noob at this, it took me a while to find the file. I did not realize that it would be under my profile and hidden. I found it here:

/home/mike/.gdesklets/Sensors/GoodWeather

Your milage may very. How do I change the background on the applets?

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and I made it work with the modification proposed:
WEATHER_SOURCE = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/" \
"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&link=xoap&" \
Thanks.

Does not work for me. (Ubuntu 8.04, gDesklets 0.35.4). I have obtained location code for my city (also tried different codes), and modified WEATHER_SOURCE in __init__.py file. And i still see "N/A loading". Any clues?:confused:

WEATHER_SOURCE = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/" \
"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&link=xoap&" \
"prod=xoap&par=1003832479&key=bb12936706a2d601" \

This worked for me. if you are in a US area, just put in the zip code. that worked for me.

Thanks. This worked after deleting some spaces.

Change from:

"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&link=xoap& " \
to

"%(weather_code)s?cc=*&dayf=5&prod=xoap&link=xoap&"\

I confirm it's now working, i had an error in my __init__.py file:)
