Well, it appears to refresh every hour instead of every 30 minutes, which is what I have it set to. It's obviously a bug. Guess I'll uninstall it for now & wait for the next release.....

The zip I use is 13490. I'm using TB 1.5.0.8, which is the latest version available to me on my Linux system. After a while, it appeared to refresh every hour instead of every 30 minutes as it should. I uninstalled it for the time being.

I think weather.com has a minimum threshold of 30 minutes, but I'll definitely check out the code to see if it's actually working the way it's supposed, thanks.

just looked over the code quickly, trying seeing how you connectivity to the "http://xoap.weather.com/" site is which is where WW+ connects to get it's weather. Also it may be due to high volumes on weather.com etc.

I'll keep looking.

Scroll through locations?

WorldWeather is the best! =D> =D>

Is there a way to enter multiple locales and then scroll thru them...say when you wonder what your cousin's weather in Maui is like?

Has this extension been updated since the december release? I noticed that it wasn't refreshing every 30 minutes as it should, so has that been fixed?

hmm, try either restarting tb, I'll do some sniffing around to see there is a disconnect in the why it handles the refresh.

world weather has disappeared?

Post by sobresaliente »

I just installed worldweather into Thunderbird. At first it appeared in a box in lower left hand corner and all was well. Then it suddenly disappeared and hasn't come back. I cannot find anything in the options panel about how to recall it. How do I go about making it display again? Thanks for your help.

try dragging the bottom border of the sidebar, it's probably collapsed, this happen when it's snaps shut if you are adjusting the size.
