Weather in sysmetrix2

Open the Sysmetrix Configuration.
Click on Weather.
At the top of the "Options" section on the right hand side is a link. It says " Click here to LookUp a METAR code for your location".
Follow the instructions on the website and enter the METAR code into the box available.
Hope this is clear enough

now once i do that what is the code which part is it? and than what after hehe

Read the page the info is there. Fundamental.

im taking it the first number is the code?

The code is similar to a zip code. five numbers.

im not from the states hehe... zip code DA HELL!? its all about postal...

ok is there away for us canadians to get it working ??

ok i went http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=[METARCODE] and then went to http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nsd_country_lookup.pl where i selected my city in canada and that have me http://www.nws.noaa.gov/dm-cgi-bin/nsd_lookup.pl?station=71396 i put the code 71396 in sysmetric and got Parsing Error - Incompatible Data Format: HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Touched, I've had the same thing happening to me by doing what you did So I can't use this functionality
From Canada also...

Someone must know...

yeah im sure someone has an answer , might have to point the url differntly

well i got it working once... but im not sure what i did hehe i sit at 59f and when i go to a site to display the current weather (weather.com) it says it is that but its been a day and im sure the tempurature does change andi get the error parsing or whatever

well at this rate i will only be using sysmetrix that dont have weather in em lmao

well i attempted to use a us number close enough too me (me from vancouver used seattle airport) and its not working does anybody have one working

Well, I haven't tried the Sysmetrix weather but the Object Dock weather seems to work really well.

whats the object dock weather.... i never knew it had a weather thing i thought it was just click on items to go to things

If so many people are having trouble with the weather, I suggest you email the person who created the program. He is kind and answers the emails he recieves. You can reach him from this website. Please post any response here to help others.

kewl sent him an email , i let ya all know what i find out

yah i did too but still post for everybody ill do the same

ok i want to http://www.nws.noaa.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml and looked up my area and got code 71396 from one that did not work. after my email back from the creator, i want and looked at the site again.look for ones that have a ICAO Location Indicator: seems that is what the program uses mine was CYHZ. and looks like this will work for all countries.

from the make of Sysmetrix
Try entering CYHZ for the METAR code. If you're interested in how to get more codes, take a look at the "Weather Configuration" section of the documentation. It should walk you through the process with examples for both US and International codes. To get the code for Halifax International Airport, I followed those same steps and chose Canada for the country and then just found Halifax on the list.

hope that helps ya all

Yes I tried to understand the METAcode thingy also and the website does not use the same word or acronym for the number you need..I tried several of the codes and none wanted to play nicely..But you should go to the sysmetrix site for help...Win is not really affiliated...But Not off the topic..Why is it improper to ask other ppl here for Help on other apps???? When you have an issue with a stardock product and you post a ? here they always tell you to go to stardock tech support...Is it just because you might get bad info here or why??? Was wondering cuz Ive been trying for the last 2 days to get weather tpo work..But my ObjectDock weather applet was easy as heck you just type in your zip and it works..Sysmetrix should make it that simple...

The Object Dock weather applet is avail only in the new Version .99b if you open up Configure OD and click on create it is at the b ottom it says Create Weather Applet...Then you Click on the New Item on your dock for it and just enter your zip code..WWWaaayyy to easy..Thanks Stardock I love my Dock sssooo mmmuuuccchhh!!!!!

/me pokes his nose out of the barely opened window, hmm, warmish and it's not raining

HaHahA Tiggs..I love your comment....Giggle

See, I told ya. Object dock is a very interesting program. I see so many possibilities for it. And best of all, its free. hoho!

yes but I wish it was also avialable for 98/ME!
