Hi,

It seems, there is some change on WeatherCom side from yesterday.
Superkaramba Liquid Weather theme cannot download data from WeatherCom - server returns: "Bad or missing query parameters in request..."
...
...
Sad

I can confirm this problem: it gets the same error for any selected city...

Same here. Seems like prod=xoap must be omitted in the URL.

And how do you do that, I get just a 32f temp and a question mark for the past few days.

Well, this is what I did: Create a new directory lwp and unzip the lwp-14.8.skz package therein

Code:

mkdir lwp
cd lwp
unzip /path/to/lwp-14.8.skz

Now delete all instances of "&prod=xoap" in liquid_weather.py and lwp_config.py

Code:

sed -i 's/&prod=xoap//' liquid_weather.py lwp_config.py

Then close liquid weather and uninstall it via the superkaramba menu. Klick on "Open local theme" and select the file liquid_weather.theme in the directory lwp, close the menu. Right click on liquid weather and chose "reload theme".

EDIT:
Another solution I found on ubuntuforums dot org

Code:

sed -i 's/\&prod=xoap/\&prod=xoap\&link=xoap/' liquid_weather.py lwp_config.py

Very simple, just edit your liquid_weather.rc file, and change the U R L line by removing the below part :

"prod=xoap&"

Hope that helps.

Hm, there is no liquid_weather.rc in my home directory, the URL seems to be stored in ~/.superkaramba/lwp/lwp_config.py, but when I edit that file it has no effect and always gets overwritten at next start of liquid weather.

EDIT:
The file ~/.superkaramba/liquid_weather.rc does not contain anything related to the URL.

I think the problem is that weather dot com changed the way their interface worked. I received this message due to another program I am using to display their feed. Beginning on 6-May, Liquid Weather no longer works. I believe the author needs to modify the program to use the new method.

Here is a snippet of what I received:

We are contacting you because you are a registrant for the weather dot com XML Data Feed (the “Service”). We are providing you with IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE CONTINUATION OF YOUR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE. Your registered application may or may not currently be in compliance with the terms of our agreement (please refer to the developer SDK containing the license agreement – see link below). We are in the process of updating the Service to programmatically validate certain licensing conditions. Beginning May 6, 2008, if your application is not in compliance with these terms, the Service will no longer return data to your application.

The complete terms and conditions surrounding the use of the Service can be found in the developer SDK along with graphical icons that are necessary to represent the sky conditions associated with our current conditions and forecast data, and our logo.
