Weather Location / Calendar Format / Fast boot

[mochman]

I modified the default module to look for a lat/long or a locationID before it uses the name you put in the config.js.
The location ID is specific and unambiguous so you shouldn’t get any location errors.

If you want to modify your code to use a locationID (which you can get here) put this in weatherforecast.js

in your config.js in the weatherforecast config: { section add:

locationID: 'YOUR_LOCATION_ID',

under the “defaults” section add:
locationID: "",

change getParams: function()… to

getParams: function() {
   var params = "?";
   if(this.config.locationID !== "") {
      params += "id=" + this.config.locationID;
   } else {
      params += "q=" + this.config.location;
   }
   params += "&units=" + this.config.units;
   params += "&lang=" + this.config.lang;
   params += "&cnt=" + (((this.config.maxNumberOfDays < 1) || (this.config.maxNumberOfDays > 16)) ? 7 : this.config.maxNumberOfDays);
   params += "&APPID=" + this.config.appid;
   return params;
},

@mochman Thanks for your help. I’ll try it, when I am working the next time on my Magic Mirror.
