This is a sweet extension!

[2] Submitted by: Neil Parks Wednesday January 28th 2004

Interesting, but I think it would be more useful as a browser (Firebird) extension.

[3] Submitted by: Lawrence Cheung Wednesday January 28th 2004

What a simple and nice extension! I am more used to Celsius than Fahrenheit. It would be even better if it can have the option to display in Celsius.

[4] Submitted by: Nilson Cain Thursday January 29th 2004

Very nice, but would a port to Firebird be possible? I spend more time in my borwser but this could be useful in Thunderbird too.

do you have to input a zip code every time you run your email program?

"i just installed it in netscape7.1 do you have to input a zip code every time you run your email program?" - gaasbyte

I haven't tested on NS 7.1 so I can't promise anything. In Thunderbird, your zipcode is stored in user preferences but the code necessary to do this may be different in NS 7.1.

I just updated my TB to Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5a (20040128) and weather isn't working anymore. Any thoughts?

[8] Submitted by: gaasbyte Saturday January 31st 2004

after restarting the 2nd time, i don't have to re-input the zip code, but sometimes the weather window doesn't appear at all until i restart mail & newsgroups. its a little buggy, but i still love it.
i prefer netscape because it does everything i want a browser to do and i don't have to update it nightly, only to have some extension quit working like firebird/thunderbird.

"I haven't tested on NS 7.1 so I can't promise anything. In Thunderbird, your zipcode is stored in user preferences but the code necessary to do this may be different in NS 7.1."

and so it is in netscape

user_pref("weather.interval", "15");
user_pref("weather.refresh", true);
user_pref("weather.zipcode", "97014");

hi!
very nice of you to provide this extension.
As you would know, Evolution (ximian) provides a weather feed at its "summary" page. Won't it be possible to use the same weather feed as they are using?

That would serve for providing the data for, say, Melbourne, Australia.

Thanks and regards,

This extension is very nice! Well, I can hardly wait for the International support. However, here in Brazil, each city has diferent zip codes with 5 primary digits (specifying the city, I guess) and 3 for each neighborhood, (for me this is completely unnecessary) but if it the weather program could identify just the city then this would be great. And it would be greater to add an option to display Celsius. Anyway, thanks!

[12] Submitted by: Robert U. Monday February 2nd 2004

Thanks for this great extension.

I would like to second the request to display the temperature in Celsius.

It works, but I can't find the forcast that you mention. I only see the current weather stats.

[15] Submitted by: Jeex Tuesday February 3rd 2004

Excellent extension! :-)

Would be great to have it minimize to a Toolbar icon in Mozilla... For example, if it was sunny, the icon would be a picture of the sun, with a mouseover giving more info.

[16] Submitted by: Juba Wednesday February 4th 2004

Great, but it would be even better if it supported international weather like Evoulution does.

[17] Submitted by: Bob Goodwin Thursday February 5th 2004

Works well enough but it's about ten times as large as it needs to be and it obscures my folder listings. It would be convenient if it could be moved around to suit the user.

[18] Submitted by: Clarke Friday February 6th 2004

Excellent add on to Thunderbird. Any intention to add in Celcius in the near future? I don't understand Fahrenheit (this will become essential when you internationalise this addin).

If you had more areas covered you would have something BIG!

[22] Submitted by: Kyle Thursday February 12th 2004

Bravo! What a neat extension. I love it in Thunderbird since I am not interested in minute by minute weather changes. If I needed it in my browser, I could create a toolbar link and have current conditions in one click.

But anyway, I think a nice addition would be being able to click the image, and it sends you to your browser and shows you a forecast.

[23] Submitted by: Michael Gordon Saturday February 14th 2004

Another weather source is WeatherBug.com where they have their own desktop GUI. Currently they integrate with IE on Windows PCs.

If you could integrate Mozilla Gecko with WeatherBug you would open up a whole new audience to the Mozilla family of applications.

WeatherBug has two options for receiving local weather reports, free, and subscription. It could be possible to promote both WeatherBug and Mozilla to a vast new user target.

WeatherBug reports in either F or C and has lots of user preferences to customize the reports, and has international reporting in the Pro version.

Jeff,
I'll look into it soon. I'm running one of the nightlies right before the 0.5 release and it's working fine for me. I would assume not much changed between the releases.

Could you explain your problem in more detail, or even better file a bug with all the details?

[27] Submitted by: Kurt Rosencrants Friday February 20th 2004

Great little tool, the work that has been done on both Thunderbird and Firefox is very impressive.

A new user of Thunderbird - a "non-techie" type person. My first attempt at downloading/installing an extension was the weather - all seemed OK - when I called up Thunderbird after putting in my zip code - it worked fine and there was the temp. - it went away and I haven't seen it again - where might it be. I have WIN-XP-home and dial-up internet service.
Thanks - I love the idea of these extensions - makes perfect sense - pick and choose the ones you want.

Looks good but you need international weather and it should work with FireFOX.

[33] Submitted by: Wes Tuesday February 24th 2004

I never had the icon/s that went with Weather. Basically , in text, the bottom left hand corner just printed the temp and location. I thought that i needed a theme to get the right icons, as i have always used the default classic interface, so i installed one. Well, i accidentally installed a calendar theme. It came up, looked horrible, i realized that i had clicked the wrong theme, switched back, restarted Thunderbird and now it has the weather icons. After months of looking at text weather, i now have light! (actually, it's light rain, at 57F, with a variable 3 mph wind, and %100 humidity) ;)

Message I get for my zipcode:
"Oops, couldn't get the weather."
which I suspect could be the data provider. Any way to check on that?

Matt, thanks for creating this for all to enjoy. I just installed TB 0.5 (Win XP) and it doesn't work for me either. Anyone know how I can get it operational?

Thanks.

is the provider blocking this extension somehow? mine has been finicky for over a week, and now it won't work even when I click the "try again?" button.

[38] Submitted by: Matt Moyer Tuesday March 2nd 2004

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been keeping up with everyone's questions. I've got a lot of other things going on at the moment but I'm *not* abandoning the project. I'll take a look at the TB 0.5 release problem (If I can reproduce it.). The data provider is a little flaky and I've got some offers from alternative options. If you want to check if the actual service is down, visit: http://www.ejse.com/WeatherService/Service.asmx/GetWeatherInfo?zipCode=#####
(##### being your zipcode...)

I hope I'll be able to do some work on the extension soon but until then thanks for understanding,

Great extension. Would be awesome if u can display temp in celcius also

[40] Submitted by: scott Wednesday March 3rd 2004

That link works, so I guess it must be the extension and TB 0.5 then?

[41] Submitted by: Matt Moyer Wednesday March 3rd 2004

Scott,
do you see any error messages in you JS console. (Tools > JavaScript Console)? Also, what platform (OS) are you on?

[42] Submitted by: Wes Friday March 5th 2004

Celcius isn't to hard to add on your own. You have to open up the weather.jar file, go to content>weather and open weather.js. Then find the "// Load the current temperature into the display" section and add something like:

var NumTemp;
NumTemp = parseInt(current_weather["Temprature"]);
NumTemp = (NumTemp-32)*(9/5);
var StringTemp = "/" + NumTemp + "ºC";

and finally change the original code to:
document.getElementById("displayWeather-Temperature").setAttribute("value", current_weather["Temprature"]+StringTemp);

That's probably horrible Code, but you can play with it yourself if you hate it. I'm a physicist, not a programmer. Just know thats whats cool about extensions, you can tailor 'em to yourself.

I was having the same problem as #33 was having. All I had was text temp and city. He had mentioned themes so I went into options > themes and the default them wasn't highlighted. I clicked on it then clicked OK and restarted Thunderbird and now I too see the icon and the rest of the wheather. For me that would be foggy, 48 degrees, pressure 29.5 inches and steady. Thanks for the great extention.

Perhaps you could get more features or options if you pull it from the weather.yahoo.com website. (like weather features in gdesklets). Every one in the world can get there weather by going to the site. Look up your weather and pull the code from the url.

Example: Alexandria, VA 22304 = USVA0007

Matt, this is a great extension. I'm sure you've got enough suggestions where to take this plugin in the future, but I just wanted to say that this is a really neat and excellent extension. Oh, and I've had no problems with 0.5 or +0.5.

[50] Submitted by: Scott Sunday March 14th 2004

It has started working again for me as of a couple days ago... Maybe there was a problem at the server or with my thunderbird setup. I don't know, but it works now.

[51] Submitted by: tygirwulf Sunday March 14th 2004

Great extension! I think it would be very cool if this could be adapted to FireFox, perhaps as a simplified text only version in the status bar? ie "48F, 67% humidity, wind chill 43F, partly cloudy"

Folks, remember to read the installation instructions for this extension. If you try to left click it to install, it won't work. You must right-click and save it to your hard drive, then go to the extensions options in thunderbird, choose install extension, and choose the file you just downloaded. I tried left-clicking it, and it tried to install the extension to FireFox, which obviously won't work. :)

I'm using the Feb.2 release in Thunderbird 0.5, works like a charm.

Just a few feature requests:

Ability to update on the hour or at 5 past the hour, instead of every x minutes.

Click or, better, double click on the icon to open either the weather page or a set user page. I would most likely set the user page to something like so I could see a 5 day forecast for my area.

I second the use of WUnderground as a weather server.

I wrote that up and threw in a call to it for a quick hacked together display in celsius. I'm not too familiar with XUL so I dont know about adding it to the options dialog, but I assume it wouldn't be much work.

var celStr = cel.toString();
celStr = celStr + '°C';
return celStr;
}

is the version of FtoC to use.

and in displayWeather I changed
// Load the current temperature into the display
document.getElementById("displayWeather-Temperature").setAttribute("value", current_weather["Temprature"]);

to

document.getElementById("displayWeather-Temperature").setAttribute("value", FtoC(current_weather["Temprature"]));

Nice extension, very promising and useful. A rather obvious tip for newbies like myself:

If you open the .jar file, you'll find the file /skin/classic/weather/weather.css. This is the stylesheet for the weather display panel. I didn't care too much for the big Verdana numerals, so I changed my font to "sans-serif". This also brings me to a suggestion for the authors: since you're using PNGs, why not take advantage of alpha channels and make them antialias nicely to any color background? Then you could offer a stylesheet which would use "ButtonFace" and "ButtonText" values for colors and no border around the box, thus blending seamlessly into the UI. I'd prefer this stylesheet to the very "here be plug-in" look of the white background :)

I've been using this extension with Thunderbird 0.6 for several months and have found it very useful.

I just upgraded to Thunderbird 0.7 and found that the extension will not install under 0.7. Updated versions of enigmime/enigmail install fine. When I attempt to install 'weather', it finds the xpi file, but never comes back and lists it in the Extensions manager and it never shows up in my T'bird window.

I see that the weather extension is marked as the "1.0 final" release. Does that mean it won't get updated for T'bird 0.7?

Thanks

First you need to install Pike's Show Old Extensions extension, which was linked to above. Then the weather extension will appear in your extension manager (Tools|Extensions) - highlight the weather extension and click on uninstall.

If you don't install Pike's extension first, this and several other extensions will not show up in your extension manager, and you cannot uninstall it.

Weather installs just fine. In fact, it worked just fine until about a week ago, when the weather service stopped returning results. When I go to the web site, I get the results I'm used to getting in the extension, but it doesn't show up in Thunderbird.

For the non Java hackers like me, here's how to do it in Windows 2k, Thunderbird 7.1, with Pike's extension...

Go to your "Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\Default User\XXXXXXXX.slt\chrome" folder.

Extract weather.jar to a folder using your favorite extractor. I like WinAce, if someone has a preferred open source alternative, please post.

Go into that folder to the "Content\Weather" subfolder.

Edit weather.js and weatherOptions.js. In weather.js, search for ReportedAt and LastUpdated and remove or comment them out just like Jarom suggested. In both those files, search for timeout and change it to 15 seconds again as per his suggestion. In one of those places, timeout is listed in milliseconds apparently (5000) so of course just change it to 15000.

That's it! Now it works for me too. Hopefully now that the problem is identified, the fix discovered by Jarom, and translated into English by me, the project owners will be incorporating it into the next revision.

Yep. Ejse's data feed is broken today (as it often is). I found a "better" data provider that supports US and foreign weather data in XML, similar to Ejse. The catch: they want people who use the data to link back to them on all screens that their data is used.

Also, I don't have time to modify the code to use the new data provider. If anyone wants to take upon themselves the challenge (or if the original author is reading this) then I say go for it. The URL for the data provider is www. weatherroom. com / add. html. Halfway down the page there are links to the xml feeds and their various formats (zipcode, city name, location ID).

If you would like to use the feeds at Weatherroom.com for your project please do not hesitate. There has not been much development on the site recently, but if there is anything that can be done on the server-side that you would like to see, don't hesitate to post here and i will see what i can do.

One question I have about the Weatherroom feed is that the temperatures are reported as "61°F" with that extra character between 61 and °F. The ejse feed reports it as "61°F". Is there a reason that extra character is there?

The  character began to appear after a server crash, subsequent restore and software update. I believe it has something to do with the encoding. Nowhere in the original code for XML feed generation does  exist. I just made a correction to the script and it now behaves as it should, "50°F".

skydr,
thanks, The one you have is for EJSE. I did some mods to get EJSE working as well. To find a more reliable source, did some mods for weatherroom too. When testing with a file output from weatherroom, it works, but when trying to use the live weatherroom feed, it doesn't. Anyone else having problems with the weatherroom feeds or format? For the file output, I used www weatherroom com/xml/zip/90210 , viewed source and saved to a file (WRFileName). In my modified weather.js, I replace " weatherRequest.open("GET", " + zipcode, true);" with weatherRequest.open("GET", "file://WRFileName", true); and it works from the file.

any ideas?

That is the same problem I have been having. I don't know why.

I made an XPI of the 'fixed' ejse version also, but forgot to post it, so thanks skydr for doing that.

Hank, if you get the weatherroom feed working properly, great! I haven't had much time to devote to this cause lately. If you need my assistance, let me know.

Also, Weatherroom has been monitoring this discussion so he may be able to assist in getting his feed to work. (?????)

To get the weatherroom feed to work with the current weather.jar, you need to make some additional changes to weather.js and 2 other files. If you want to play around with it, I can email the complete weather.jar modified for weatherroom feeds. It works with save file feeds, but doenst with live. I think it may have something to do with the live feed and the XML format coming down...

Hank,

Email your .jar to me at jarom@azza.org so I can see what changes you have made versus what I have made.

I have done a few TCPdump packet captures and examined them with ethereal (one for ejse and one for my weatherroom-modified jar). It is definately getting the data, and there aren't many significant differences that I can see between the two feeds that I captured. I'll do the same thing with your jar and see if I see anything different.

The content type and encoding in the headers seems to be the issue. This trouble has only existed since a software and server upgrade. That might also explain the presense of  characters in the weather feed, whereas they were formerly not there. I will make some configuration changes and see what I can do.

Thank you Weatherroom for fixing that. I think everything else should be trivial now. The only other thing I am concerned about is the little icon taht shows the current weather conditions, and that should be resolved by renaming the icon files and using the Conditions tag (vs the IconIndex tag in the Ejse feed).

I've made some changes to the files, and it works for me, including the icons. Instead of using the index number to display an icon from a subfolder in the Jar, I simply display the actual icon downloaded from the feed. If there is anyone who is willing to create an updated weather extension which would be TBird 8.0+ compatible (can't use it in the 0.8 nightlies after 20040831) I'm ready to send you what I have...

Thank you tpHank. The extension works great. At first I didn't like the new icons (hence my last post) but they've grown on me.

I have modified the extension a bit to allow for easier entering of international locations (such as toronto.on.ca) instead of a 5 digit limited field. It works great now in the US, Canada and anywhere you can get an ICAO Code (got one for Spain to work).

I hope this is what everyone wanted. Now we need to figure out the best way to post it. I've made an XUL that will install in 0.7+ and it seems to work on my friend's 0.8+ installation.

Weather forecasts and information should update at least once an hour. What you are experiencing seems to be occurring site wide and is a serious problem. The server load has been so high in recent days that I suspect it is rendering the machine unable to update from its sources. I myself have received several messages warning of too many database connections. I will look into adding a second server and upgrading the amount of bandwidth available.

Weatherroom:

Are there any guidelines that you would like us to follow with respect to accessing your server so we can help ease the load on it? For instance, if the updates only happen every hour we should not be refreshing our display every 15 minutes. Is there anything else we can do? Do you want a mirror? If so, I can possibly provide one soon.

Also, with respect to credit, how should the extension properly display the data source? Right now it is on the options page. Should there be any copyright notices to keep it legal, such as the one provided in the feed regarding the Canadian weather source?

Refreshing once, or even twice an hour would be fine. I will be out of town for a few days but I have found another server here, I will try to set it up either today or when I return to town early next week. If at that point demand is not sustainable, we can perhaps discuss a mirror.

Credit for weatherroom.com on the options page is fine. The only copyright notice that is necessary is for canadian weather, and that would be attributed to Environment Canada.

The units that temperature are displayed are sent from the weather server - the application is making no conversions. Therefore there is not a way currently to get Farenheit degrees for international sites.

You can download the extension uninstaller (an extension itself...).

If you downloaded the final release from this project then it is not going to work due to changes made in EJSE's feed. TpHank and I have worked out a solution which seems to work okay using a different data provider (though today his feed seems to be broken. I expect it will be fixed soon though. Regardless his feed has been reliable so far). Look back through the message history and you will find links to the updated version.

How do I get it to work? Everytime I put a zip code in it, it says "oops couldn't get the weather", I've downloaded it twice. All the other extensions I got work except this one? Any ideas?

How do I uninstall it from tb 0.9? I downloaded
the new world weather and now both are up. The uninstall
option is greyed out.

Remove weather.jar from the chrome folder in your profile and/or in your Thunderbird program folder.

Thanks John,

That worked to stop it from running, but it
still shows up in my TB Extensions popup, as
"Weather ??"

No uninstall option there, even with the new
show old extensions 1.7 enabled.

Any clues how to get it out of the profile completely?

Thanks,
ah

Deleting weather.jar caused my (RC 1.0) Thunderbird to give strange errors. To uninstall (for those who don't live in the US but were just curious) you can use the Extension uninstaller (
