Conky weather scripts using Accuweather/WUnderground/NWS/Weather.com

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

Thank you for the clarification and translation VinDSL

Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar

Thanks for the answer and for your work VinDSL

I think you'd probably have better luck using awk/sed/cut (in Conky) to change the output to German, rather than changing the script itself...

I think i will stick with the English version until i get everything else to work and know more about conky and bash scripts. Otherwise i may get frustrated when i want to change something i´m not up to in the moment. I can learn some English weather vocabulary that way, like "frizzle drizzle"

You know, I had a similar problem. I solved it by increasing the value of the fold command after the -w. Now I don't know a thing about anything, so can someone tell me why my solution worked?

Simple fix really you fell for the font size trap.

${font DroidSans:size=11}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/temperatures}C ${font conkyweather:size=40}${color3}${goto 240}${voffset -30}${execi 600  sed -n '5p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/images}
${font DroidSans:size=11}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/days}:

for the "image font" (conkyweather) you are using "size=40" an don't change the font until the next line ... therefore the space between those two lines (above) is at "conkyweather:size=40"

At the end of those lines using the conkyweather font at size=40, add a closing ${font} and the space between lines will be what your default font is:

${font DroidSans:size=11}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/temperatures}C ${font conkyweather:size=40}${color3}${goto 240}${voffset -30}${execi 600  sed -n '5p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/images}${font}
${font DroidSans:size=11}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/mdbod/accuweather_conky/days}:

Can you show us the code - the line above and the line below where you increased the value of the fold command after the -w, as well as that line.

[MichaelGld]

Sure.

${color red}WEATHER ${font}${hr 2}${execi 600 bash /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/accuw_USA_script}
${font conkyweather:size=40}${execi 600  sed -n '6p' ~/accuweather_conky_USA/images}${font}${goto 75}${voffset -40}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/days}:
${goto 75}${execpi 600 sed -n '2p' /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/messages|fold -w46}
${goto 75}High: ${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/temperatures}°F  Low: ${execpi 600 sed -n '2p' /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/temperatures}°F

Before I changed the fold value, the text of the line with the actual forecast would be truncated, followed by a blank line. This would have the effect of adding a blank line right below the forecast line, pushing the following text down, often past the bottom of the screen.

This is a different problem than discussed before, you are using the larger weather font at the beginning of the line and then turning it off.

What happens if you eliminate the fold function altogether? It looks like you have the space for the putput.

${color red}WEATHER ${font}${hr 2}${execi 600 bash /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/accuw_USA_script}
${font conkyweather:size=40}${execi 600  sed -n '6p' ~/accuweather_conky_USA/images}${font}${goto 75}${voffset -40}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' /home/michael/accuweather_conky_USA/days}:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
The International Accuweather scripts (1a, 1d1, 1d2) do not work.
They all need to be rewritten from scratch.
Here's 1a (with a bonus of a few more forecast days) - the rest are coming.

EDIT: (20-1-12) Bug found, script rebundled; thanks to Quackers for making me test Bury weather.


EDIT: (20-1-12) 1d1 rewritten from scratch.
Download the 2 parts and JOIN THEM with

cat 1d1_Accuweather_INT_Images1.tar.gz 1d1_Accuweather_INT_Images2.tar.gz > whatever.tar.gz

EDIT: (20-1-12) 1d2 rewritten from scratch.



EDIT:
Scripts rebundled on the first page.

Thanks for the update. I noticed the screen was somewhat blank today. Nice "cold" thermometer icon though!

Thanks Teo for announcement waiting for new script

I think my accuweather display went empty some time last night. It's still empty.
I'll wait for developments
Thanks TBG.
