Is there anyway someone would want to post a video explaining step by step how to get the weather icon to work? I've tried all of these suggestions in the comments and still can't get an actual image to appear. Not sure where my disconnect is but I'd love to finish this awesome project off right!

thanks

Good article :) I'm currently in the process of remaking this game from scratch by interpreting the game rules in to my own engine. It's being made as a webpage using about 95% JS and some PHP. You can make and save your own levels to the server for others to play! www.techious.com/ccr

Hi,

Thanks sooo much for this, but can I get the weather from this RSS feed? "http://rss.theweathernetwor..."

Thanks

That URL is now giving an error of not found. Could someone post up instructions for the latest Yahoo weather and how to get the images? Thanks!

Hi, Is there a way to exclude certain calendars? I have to be subscribed to certain work calendars but don't want them on my home computer's desktop...nothing like constantly being reminded of work....

Thanks

Hi Talha_13 sorry it's been so long. "Stephen Apple" recently posted a cleaner version of the code that seems to be faster and more reliable... if you still want to use my host for the php you can change the url in geektool to use his new code...

1) Go to weather.yahoo.com and find the page for your city... eg. here is the page for Denver CO http://weather.yahoo.com/un...

2) Once you're on that page copy the url in the address bar ( the one that looks like the one I posted for denver)

3) Make your geektool url point to:
http://free.jbuc.com/weathe..."paste the url you copied here, erasing the quotes too"

I hope this helps... thanks Stephen!
Here's a link to his comment.

Fantastic Stephen!
This is way faster too. For anyone using my old url (free.jbuc.com) I've updated it to accept this model instead ( the old one still works too it's just slower and buggy like it's always been )

http://free.jbuc.com/weathe...{full yahoo url}

right now it's undocumented in the tutorial page... but i'll update that later if I can.

thanks again Stephen.

Well... that didn't work at all. The comment window didn't accept the PHP block. Try this:

Hello! Great tutorial. Thank you. I've shortened the weather image PHP script. The regex should be a little more flexible incase yahoo change things on the page. Hope this helps others!

Remember to change the first line to include your yahoo weather link.
