I’m having problem with Yahoo Weather via weather binding 1.7.1: it seems that the yahoo weather webservice doesn’t answer to requests since (looking at the logs) yesterday afternoon (19/01).
SELECT woeid FROM geo.placefinder WHERE text="latitute, longitute" and gflags = "R"
strangely it is working using free text as search parameter:
SELECT woeid FROM geo.placefinder WHERE text="bern,switzerland"
I thought, as workaround, to replace the latitude and longitude with free text in the conf file, but with the second condition (and gflags = “R”) the select does’nt work.
YQL tables for development
If you are looking to continue experimenting with the standalone PlaceFinder and PlaceMaker services, we are excited to continue supporting you through our YQL tables. These tables will be limited to 2,000 queries per day and are meant for non-commercial usage. We intend to shut down the current free versions of PlaceFinder and PlaceMaker on November 17, 2012.
Side note on this - I was using Yahoo for a while until it stopped working last week, and switched to Wunderground. Glad I did - the frequency of updates and the number of metrics with Wunderground are much better. Even when Yahoo was working overall there were regularly periods where the API would stop responding for hours at at time, whereas haven’t faced any issue with Wunderground…
Same here. I have also changed to Wunderworld. @d0t: Have you managed to get the html layouts and icons working for the three day look ahead of Wunderworld with a corresponding Webview HTML file and if yes, would you share?
Cheers

@Björn - The provider should not matter, AFAIK. Have a look at the bottom of the wiki page, which contains the new weather-data HTML templates for v1.8.
