Weather Widgets No Setup or location tweaks needed #bAdGB

[ryanstylee]

This is LIMITLESS. me as a noob , I've had tons of fun with this. It's a new beginning. Why **** with code. He did it!








Messed around with weather icons last night. It's possible guys. Make it yours. A gift form JunesiPhone and bAdGB.

So in a search to figure out how to convert lat and long to a weather code so I could pull yahoo weather. I loaded Jedi's bAdOS Lockscreen mod. It is a gps based widget and works off MyLocation.

MyLocation saves a file that has two lines the lat and long. After it pulls the text file it converts it to simple numbers then converts it to woid which is awesome. That means easily adapts Yahoo weather. So I wrote a script basically deleting the function that pulls the text file and just created my own var using the cooridinates googlejsapi gives.

Very simple to convert. Here is the script.

<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" language="javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">
if (google.loader.ClientLocation != null) {
var latitude = google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude;
var longitude = google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude;
} else {
}
</script>

Looking good.

I have an issue thought, as you can see from the screen shot it cuts off half the weather ?

This was taken on my iPad but it does exactly the same on my iPhone ?

And when I do put it on my iPhone I am not able to move any of the elements around like you show in your video ? Am I missing something here ?

Thanks

The font size is just to big. You can go into the html and change that font to fit.

This was a proof of concept and code for the community. Reason it free code for you to use.
I didnt not include all features for moving items around. That was just a demonstration, and a little advertising for myself with the bAdHead.

If you do want something pm me, a donation goes a long way for my time. Plus no one has even bought me a beer

Thanks for the advise, on the font size I was going to change that anyway but just wanted to check that there was nothing more simple I was doing wrong.

Regarding the script above. Can you advise which script we replace and what this means in simple terms. Doe this mean it pulls the weather from yahoo rather than your IP address ?

Let me be the first to buy you a beer :-)

[June'sIphone]

Simple terms if you have a gps based widget you can change it to ipbased.

it does not pull weather from your ip.. It pulls the location from the IP.

The way this widget is setup is for Google weather

If you alter a GPS widget it will be Yahoo weather which is better.

Uploaded an iP weather widget here for bAdOS

Thanks bro, its not very accurate because it goes off ip.

I can pull gps location. The biggest issue as you may know is when anything uses your location services.

It will ask you first. By a Broswer confirm box. Well on the Lockscreen and wallpaper.html. Popups are not allowed. So there is no way to press accept.

That's all that's stopping me from have a gps based weather.

I did successfully write a script that when I open in ifile it automatically says ok to the popup so now you don't see it when you go to get the gps it just auto accepts.

Does not work on LS or SB though. I haven't found a way yet.

That confirmation popup windows was a huge stumbling block in automating GPS updates, but there is a way around that, which worked fine for me.
Read "Part 2", at the bottom of this page GPS and Shell Scripts.
However this method is not liked as it involves the iPhone web server, PHP and shell scripts.
How this could work on the LS can be seen on this example.

All is from GoogleAPI

It is possible here to create an own Name for my City?

Example. My Hometown is New York. But the Widget should view me an own Name for New York. For example "Home"

In yahoo based Widgets i make this with "obj.city ="Home";" Now i have the temp from New York but the Name is Home.

Hope you understand me. My English is not well.

I also ran across this. Required a server which is a bit much to take care of one button press.

Nice concept but my location is waaaaaaaay off...
So still great work mate

Only downfall thanks

[jelleheindryckx]

Any idea on how to fix it?

[RKO1195]

Mine shows a different state for some reason but i think you found something good here! Great job on this bud, I think the ip will not show very accurate location though. I could be wrong though

[June'sIphone]

Right it is based on your providers ip. Some people will get a different state. There is no fixing this because it is what the code is told to do.

I dont see this a permanent fix. But I do believe that this should be used as a default.

Meaning take for example Gunnys widget I modified to pull location.
If it shows the wrong city then manually enter your zip.

Some people will install and it will be correct. Some will have to just enter there zip.

In cases like mine I'm in a pretty big city. It shows my exact location and for many others as well.

iPhone web server, PHP etc is all in Cydia, install-reboot-running-done, can't get much simpler than this.
Don't understand the "one button press" part. If you mean the GPS update, that is done automatically every time you lock the Home screen, no need to press anything.

Weather for my IP address is only 100 miles away and I got annoyed with MyLocation app which was just a few miles out.

[June'sIphone]

Right just like my location. But I think your missing the point.

You and me may know how to set it up but users don't.

I'm looking for a way to pull weather without installing ANY tweaks. I
have the users in mind.

Not interested in anymore tweaks I have to dl to get a theme working.

Also the easy way is open ifile and enter your zip code. Pretty easy huh..

Well why this? Cause every user does not know how to use file. for the people that dont and buy my themes they will have weather displayed, and it wont display my location it will display there location.

If its a city over its better than my zip code. Which if you download any of my themes you will see. All my zip code and it will show my city for you. Hell I have seen users that had my theme for months and its still on my zip code.

See why this makes sense now?

True!
What chances will an ordinary user have if even advanced user throw the towel.
Just wanted to say that there is a way to avoid the confirmation popup window, that's all!

Yea I gotcha thanks, just wish there was a native way

Sorry, but where?
