I'm currently using jWeather on a site and it recently broke. Unfortunately it's been removed from the extension directory, so I'll post the fix I found here.

The reason it broke for me was that weather.com xoap feed now needs a partner and license key passed in the URL for the XML feed. You'll need to sign up for a license key (it's free) and then modify line 148 in mod_jweather/helper.php to the following:
Code:
$wURL = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/".$cityCode."?cc=*&dayf=".$this->_numDays."&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=Partner  ID&key=License Key&unit=".$this->_measurementSystem;

jWeather seems to have been abandoned by it's developer for ages, as most of it's options don't even work, but it displays just the forecast I need and uses some really attractive icons.

Following your fix, I just pasted the code, replaced {Partner ID} with {my id number} and {License Key} with {my license key number} and I still don't get a graphics and temps. Any clue what I might have done wrong?

By any chance, you didn't forgot to delete curly brackets?

this is wrong --> par={12343434}&
this is correct --> par=12343434&

Thanks for the solution Fireflight!

Unfortunately I have a new problem with the number of days to show.
I used to show a 7 day weather forecast earlier but that seems impossible to do now?
It prints out day name for 7 days but weather forecast for a mximum of 5 days?

JWeather was working fine and then suddenly stopped. I have re-registered, pasted the ID & licence code into my mod_jweather 'helper.php' but it still doesn't work.
Had a server crash a few days ago would this have anything to do with it?

Would really appreciate some help.

have you registed at weather.com and received your key and license?
if so, try to remove the module and reinstall it and them
make the changes at line 148.
Also check if the module configuration is ok. (I've attached mine for reference).
Note that: the lowest options, doesn't work.

@pmg
The feed just deliver 5 days. From registration e-mail:
Quote:
up to five (5) days of forecast information (the current day's forecast plus four additional days of forecast information in consecutive order


Best regards.

I noticed the JWeather module had stopped working.
A really nice looking piece of work - one of the simplest but best short forecast weather modules.

Just so it is 100% clear the code change is:

At line 148 of modules/mod_jweather/helper.php

Code:
$wURL = "http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/".$cityCode."?cc=*&dayf=".$this->_numDays."&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=PartnerID&key=License Key&unit=".$this->_measurementSystem;


There are NO curly braces in the code change

There is no need to uninstall and then reinstall.
It is easy to get the partner licence codes from http://www.weather.com
But you must have both codes for this to work now.

Once you have a code it will work for more than one site.

;D Hey!
Source forge have brought out a new version of jWeather only yesterday. It still needs registration and a licence number but after turning round in circles trying to get the older version to work this one does.
You can download it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/joomlaweather/

The Partner ID and registration number (which you still have to get from the weather chanel) are now included in the backend of the module and not on the 'helper.php' page

It worked for me I hope it works for you... ;)

Yes, I had already registered at weather.com... that's why it was working in the first place (before it broke down). The configurations was fine. I changed the code and uploaded it (again) and it STILL doesn't work.... I'm gonna try this new version and hopefully THAT will work.

The whole issue stemmed from the fact that the module did not need you to register for key codes.
Then weather.com changed the rules and you did.

So you could not have been registered before (unless it was for another extension). And even if you were registered this was not why it was working.

The old module's php was hacked to enable the codes to be inserted so that it started working again.
The new module also needs the code but it has somewhere in the backend configuration to allow you to insert it.

My advice would be install the new module - if someone has taken it up again then there will no doubts be updates which there will never be with the old module.

I THINK my only problem now is that I've lost the citycode for Gadsden, AL :(

Thank you! I also discovered if you go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/joomlaweather/files/ you can download the most recent version of jweather, which now has a place in the module to enter your license code and partner code so you don't have to mess with the php.

I don't know why they have given up on this extension. It's perfect for us also. I'd love it if we could get the other features to work.

Yes, I tried others, but they were much too complicated for my purpose. If anyone knows of a better weather module, I'd love to know!

mod_rafweather combined with the e-weather component.
Apart for the key codes, all you need to do is get the city codes from weather.com - it is in the url of the city when the site is displaying the weather for that place
Then the config in the modules is code=city name,code=city name,......
This will give you the module - publish the component to a menu and when you click on the city in the module it opens the component page and you get a really excellent full page display.
This combo is far and away the best I have come across.
The jweather one is not as good but it makes a nice looking left or right mod position display and of course you can clone it and have different city weathers on different pages.

Clear the Joomla cache - the module may be caching and so presenting the English version on the page. It will come right in the end.
Check the file name is exactly correct for Georgian and that there are no mistakes inside the ini file.
All these reasons have prevented modules switching over for me in the past
