The format for core binding in recent releases have changed. ${param} has become the default. But the old %format appears not supported. And some other binding parameters has also changed in the recent release. |

Yes the %format is not supported from the v1.84.... Even when you open an old widget you will see that the % codes are converted to {} |

| Post subject: | Re: V1.88 Weather core problem |
I am having the same trouble. In my opinion the problem are not the old variables (because they get converted but the error still occurs). To proof that, I created a complete new testing widget with all available AccWeather.Core data (at least up to day2). All variables are in the format ${xxx} and I still get value "0" for all temperature data, while all other non-temperature* are correct. // * except speed related data and pressure After some testings I found out, that, after restarting XWidget, everything looks fine again... until... the next reboot. If XWidget is not started with Windows and run manually afterwards instead, everything is working properly too. More testing: If I set the Temp Unit to Fahrenheit I can let XWidget start with Windows (XP), all temp values get filled with the correct (Fahrenheit) values. But, if I switch my Temp Unit to "Celsius" (using menu with "!SetCelcius"), then all values (which could be converted, like temperatures, pressure and speeds) will be filled with "0" (which can be fixed again with restarting XWidget). I can reproduce this behaviour as often as I like, it's always the same. Reloading only the widget does not help anything. And the files in die Cache folder show all the proper values (both units) for those "zero" values. So it seems, the trouble is somehow related to Temp Unit "Celsius" and XWidget reading/interpreting the file (when started/initialised on Windows startup) (btw: Changing the other settings "Language" and "WindSpeed Unit" does not have any negative effect for me on all combinations I have tried, only "Temp Unit: Celsius".). On my system, XWidget is starting slightly before the network icon appears in the tray, maybe you know if this (network) could have some influence on that issue. When I disable the network connection and reboot, I don't get zero filled Celsius values (but I guess, in that case XWidget does not execute all functions). I hope the error can be found and fixed soon. With kind regards P. S.: ${updateTime} is missing the leading zero in minutes. It's now shown as 14:5 instead of expected 14:05 and as it was before (e. g. version 1.84 ). ${dayText1} gives as result 10-30 and ${moonPhaseDesc1} is giving moonPhaseDesc1. Are those values correct? Is it possible to access other AccuWeather data (e. g. "CloudCover") that Xwidget does not offer but that are already in the cached data files? P. P. S.: And not to forget: Many, many thanks for the new version!  Except for the above descripted issue, the new AccuWeather.Core is simply wonderful and a big jump. |

Guys sounds crazy but I have not all these problems with the designer or the accuweather core...! All my old widgets works fine and the Windows still recognizes the old file format.. (maybe because the prev was a patched version for Android support and the files remained in the folder/registry?) I installed over the prev version and all works (for now) except this little character bug on the city selection window:

Jimking, I'm using the xwidget 1.8.8, the patch given by Tony in this thread and any weather widget, for instance Tiny Weather (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Tiny-Weat ... -289065446) |

So the widget doesn't work at all? Have you installed the patch that Tony posted below my comment? (close completely the program and then replace/overwrite all the files in the program files xwidget folder with the patched. Then run it again). http://xwidget.com/download_patch.php I tested and the widget works fine on my pc... |

Yes, I installed the patch for a second time just in case and the widget still shows no temperature. I'm trying this other widget (http://www.deviantart.com/art/HTC-Weath ... -288352643) and same result. I'm using a w7 32bit.

I've just created a weather widget from the scratch and have the same problem. Using the 1.8 version the weather widget worked fine, after updating to 1.8.8 it ceased to. |

| Post subject: | Re: V1.88 Weather core problem |
Really strange flibio..! Ok, let's do a little trick. I'm curious if will work after this: 1)Make a backup of this folder: My Docs-> xwidget-> Widgets (is the folder where the installed widgets are saved). 2) Uninstall XWidget and delete ALL the remaining folders (in program files and my Docs-xwidget) 3) Use a registry clean program like CCleaner to clean the registry and reboot your pc 4) Install XWidget's last version again: http://xwidget.com/ DO NOT RUN IT. 5) Copy/paste this folder (extract it first) and OVERWRITE (and all the files inside) the XWidget folder in the Program files http://hugefiles.net/ufdaf0pxkxjk 6) Copy the old folder with your widgets (My Docs-> xwidget-> Widgets) 7) Run the program and test Tell me if works now. If you still have problem I don't know... |

I'm using the portable version 1.88 of XWidget too (Win7x64) and the weather widget works very well. The portable version is available here. http://xwidget.com/ Unfortunately the translation into German is not entirely correct (upper case and lower case). I could correct this if wished. weather.png [ 86.25 KiB | Viewed 12864 times ] |

I also changed to the portable version after using the install version, I made the mistake of moving all my widgets from the install versions default location eg. user/.... to the portabe version folder location. I found most widget work fine in either loaction but the weather widgets worked in the original location but not in the portable version loaction. I no that probably dosent make sense but it was diffently the case. Moved them back to the original location and they work OK. |

Sometimes the weather widgets not work and show all the values 0oC/F... Seems that when I restart the program the problem is fixed but surely this is not normal....

Pity! Ver.1.881 - and still not fixed. Weather goes crazy: zero current temp data and strange language changes in wind direction data. And no refresh/update. Restarting widget buying a couple of hours working properly. But then everything's starting over. One question: WHEN? |

i have xp and xwidget.1.8.8.1111-portable: and everything works fine. maybe it's a win7 problem did you test with ekerweather widget (the one comes with xwidget)? did you check the tags to be correct in designer? |

| Post subject: | Re: V1.88 Weather core problem |
The bug depends on the program hamid, not the widgets or the tags.. As I said the "Restart" of XWidget resolves the issue.. |

OK, I think I see what the problem is, at least in w7. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I just ran xwidget as administrator and now it works. The think I don't know whether I'm now in the jimking's situation ("restarting resolves the issue" -- never happened to me) or its completely resolved; still working, though. Jimking, were you running xwidget as administrator, too? Regards and merry christmas |

| Post subject: | Re: V1.88 Weather core problem |
some question about when it happens: 1. does it happen always or only sometimes? "always" is a bit ambiguous, but I'd say yes, always. 2. does it happen at the start or at the middle? not understand the question something to try: 3. by restarting xwidget; does it fix the problem? In my case, does not always work "restart" I have to "exit" and then start again xwidget. Anyway, when I reboot xwidget I can get weather update. And thus I do every time I want to see the weather update: I reset xwidget. 4. by reloading widget (RightClick>Window>Reload); does it fix the problem? Nop 5. by opening it in editor and save it and then restarting xwidget; does it fix the problem? I have not tried, but restarting xw the problem is resolved. In fact, momentarily resolved .. 6. by using tags in code (as "${}"); does it fix the problem? I do not understand. In fact "core binding" it used: $ {curTemp}, $ {cityName}, $ {curWeatherIconNum}, etc. 7. by using tags in code (as "%..."); does it fix the problem? As experienced in other widget, when you change "$ {}" to "% ..." xwidget automatically leave it again: "$ {}" But I can be mistaken about this. |
