Hi, over a week ago I sent an email to Winstep Support, but I have not yet received a response, so I hope you can help me solve the problem here in the forum.

The issue concerns the "Weather module" of Winstep Nexus Ultimate 12.2, because are many weeks that no longer works, it doesn't detect the weather in my city (I live in Italy).

It's a strange thing, since so far it had always worked fine, and I haven't changed any settings of the widget.
Also, there is no blocks through the firewall.

In attachment to this post there are a screenshots series where you can see the error message ("Invalid location") and the current settings of module.

In addition to my city, there are also many other italian locations that no longer work, but some still work.

I hope there is a way to restore the correct functionality of the widget, can you help?

Thanks for your attention and best regards.

I could obtain the weather in Aversa Italy.
The only different setting compared to yours is the Weather.com XML Source URL. Mine is:
http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/%1?cc&dayf=%2&link=xoap&prod=xoap&unit=%3&par=%4&key=%5
So you could try that setting.

Hi, HENK.

I replaced the string that you suggested, and now the weather module works perfectly. Thank you so much, you've solved my problem!

I had assumed that it was to change those settings, but I didn't know how.
I owe you a beer! Image

If you bothered to search a bit in the forum, this issue has been addressed and solved in the recent past.
All suggested settings and URLs for the weather module are in there.
Cheers.

Hi Skagon,

I assure you that I have tried for a long time in the forum and I also found some topic that discussed similar issues related to the weather module, but in none there was the solution to my problem. :wink:

Cheers

Sometimes things aren't easy to find with a search. I guess it depends on what words are entered and a site's way it does a search. I was able to find it easily using the My Posts feature because I posted in the thread.

Here is the link to Page 2 that gives the URL that should be entered into the Weather Module further down in the posts provided by Winstep/Jorge. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9144&start=15

This is from the beginning (Page 1) if someone whats to read it from there. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9144

Ok, thank you for the clarification. In fact, in my research had not appeared that topic. Sorry.

So, I also thank skagon.

Don't worry about it Alvin.
You provided all your settings, which made it an easy check for me.
Checking and answering only took about 2 minutes.
This is probably less then you need to search the forum for the right answer.
