Can someone tell me how to use one of the existing icons to create a weather icon on the main toolbar and any other changes that need to be implmented.

Tks.

desga2,

OK, right now I'm using James "Mypersonal.kmm" file to load up Weatherunderground on a hotkey (or a click).

Is this the kind of info you need? As for the icon, I'm currently using Early Blue, but I can change to another theme if that is required and I don't much care what the icon looks like, so long as I KNOW what it does! <VBG>

Tks

Here is my way to add a toolbar icon for your weather app. First I have placed an icon (16x16 size) here. http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=485518 It is a couple of clicks into their file system to get it.

You will need to make a folder under Skins and name it Default. Put the new icon in that folder.

Next is to make a change to toolbars.cfg in your skin. Add this code

	Weather{
	macros(WeatherSite)
	Open Weather Site
	weather.bmp
	weather.bmp
	weather.bmp
	}

Also I needed to make some small changes to the macro. Since we are calling weather from the toolbar, it must have a public name. That means we take away the "_" from it. There were some other small changes needed in the macro. There are changes in WeatherSite, ModMenu, and Setaccel.

WeatherSite{
$_WeatherURL= urlencode("www.weatherunderground.com");
open($_WeatherURL);
#openBg($_Weather);
#openNew($_Weather);
}
_MyPersonal_ModMenu{
$_MyPersonal_Popm = "My Personal";
setmenu("&Tools",popup,$_MyPersonal_Popm,Misc);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"AIM",_AIM);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Faview",_Faview);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Keepass",_Keepass);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"CookieMonster",_CookieMonster);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Foxmail",_Foxmail);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"GUL",_GUL);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Kompozer",_Kompozer);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Popcorn",_Popcorn);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,macro,"Weather",WeatherSite);
setmenu($_MyPersonal_Popm,separator,1);
&_MyPersonal_Setaccel;
}
_MyPersonal_Setaccel{
setaccel("ALT A","macros(_AIM)");
setaccel("ALT C","macros(_CookieMonster)");
setaccel("ALT G","macros(_GUL)");
setaccel("ALT K","macros(_Kompozer)");
setaccel("ALT M","macros(_Foxmail)");
setaccel("ALT P","macros(_Popcorn)");
setaccel("ALT W","macros(WeatherSite)");
}

I modified the JamesD Weather icon with more similar Early Blue colors:

I can help you but I need you post me that you exactly like do.

I was just looking through the macro library and I realized that there is no new macro for the old weather DOT com

weather_report {
menu = "Weather Report";
$acode = prompt("Enter Area Code:", "Weather Report");
$site = "http://www.weather.com/weather/local/";;
opennew($site . $acode);
}




Has anyone redone this for use with KM 1.5xx??

Tks

it should work.. i checked weather.com address code and it still works.. this is best for users in the u.s.a.. i think bbc weather service is better for international users.. for most european countries, they have local weather sites that would make better macro but bbc will be good for international weather(especially business travellers/tourists)

<sub>weather_report{
menu = "Weather Report";
$acode = prompt("U.S. residents enter zip Code, or City name for international users:", "Weather Report");
$site = "www.weather.com/weather/local/";
opentab($site .$acode);
}

weather_BuildMenu{
setmenu(WebServices,macro,"Check Weather",weather_report);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."weather_BuildMenu;";

$macroModules=$macroModules."weather;";</sub>

copy code and make macro (weather.kmm) and check if it works

this check international cities with bbc weather service
http://kmeleon.swiftfree.net/bbcweather.kmm

<sub># K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage)

# ---------- bbc weather -

bbcweather{
$acode = prompt("Enter City name:", "Check Weather");
opentab("www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/weather/search/new_search.pl?search_query=" .$acode);
}

bbcweather_BuildMenu{
setmenu(WebServices,macro,"International Weather",bbcweather);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."bbcweather_BuildMenu;";

$macroModules=$macroModules."bbcweather;";</sub>

use this one better.. so if you click cancel, it won't open bbc tab with no query

bbcweather{
$code = prompt("Enter city name or U.K postal code(e.g. SW1E):", "Check Weather", $code);
$code == "" ? "" : opentab("www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/weather/search/new_search.pl?search_query=" .$code);
}

bbcweather_BuildMenu{
setmenu(WebServices,macro,"International Weather",bbcweather);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."bbcweather_BuildMenu;";

Only one note about your code, this lines are redundat:
- This is the line used in old versions where setmenu() function not exist or isn't used because menu entry is defined in menus.cfg file.

menu = "Weather Report";

- This line is used in version with new macro language where menu definitions is include with setmenu() function in kmm macro file.

setmenu(WebServices,macro,"Check Weather",weather_report);

If you use setmenu() function for menu definition in your macro files for 1.5.x version please replace

menu = "Weather Report";

to

macroinfo = "Weather Report";

.
