Weather Network does not work

Aug 15, 2003 06:25 AM|LINK
Read many threads about this before. I still cannot get the Weather Network module to run. I tried that under 1.0.8 and now under 1.0.9. I specify the Country, State and City and nothing shows. Any ideas to what I can check? Thanks, Sleiman

They're down right now due to the blackout. Wait till later today, then try New York or Pittsburgh or Chicago for a city and you'll see it work. Many smaller cities are not covered.

Many of the cities are coming back online now. Keep in mind that networks may not be fully restored until next week.

This problem is not related to the recent outage. It just never worked now or before. It does not matter what city, country I choose.

I don't use DNN for anything really because I setup my own portal framework. However, I am interested in this Weather Network module. What is the provider? Does it utilize a web service? Jason

If you just want a weather display, go to weather.com or wunderground.com and use their provided weather blurbs. You can use the Text/HTML module. Both services offer a much wider selection of cities. For wunderground.com, once you select your location, there is a link towards the bottom on the left saying 'Add this sticker to your homepage'. It gives you many appearance options.

thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I will try to use wunderground.com. Still curious however, why the module does not work.

I'd consume a weather web service. Many are out there.
