Wind direction

Many thanks for your reply Pedro.

I will keep an eye on the day/night issue from my end and see if i can provide any more details on the exact times the issues occur. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with daylight saving hours etc. It's almost midnight here in the UK and I currently have 'day-overcast-fog-light-rain.png' showing...I have a feeling this may change to a correct night time version when cron runs again after midnight.

Thanks for leaving this issue open so that I can follow any progress on the wind direction feature :)

Just a quick update:

I ran cron manually as soon as it hit midnight and the image changed to night-overcast-fog-light-rain.png

cron had ran about 5-10 minutes before and it was still showing the day version then.

The city code I am using is for Bath, UK - UKXX0012

Hi Pedro,

Just an update on this - I actually managed to get the wind direction to show, I'll post the code in a minute...the trouble is, I noticed that just before carrying out the latest dev update the wind direction was no longer showing :(

I carried out the update and added my code again, it still didn't work. Well, that's not strictly true...I can get it to display the wind direction in degrees but appear to now be able to convert it.

The code I added was as follows (which used to work, and not quite sure when it stopped);

yahoo_weather_forecast.module

116    'wind' => t('Show wind'),
+117    'wind_direction' => t('Show wind direction'),

178      'wind' => 'wind',
+179	   'wind_direction' => 'wind_direction',

257  if ($show_options['wind']) {
258    $vars['wind_speed'] = $weather_info['wind']['speed'];
259    $vars['speed_units'] = $weather_info['units']['speed'];
260  }
261
+262    if ($show_options['wind_direction']) {
+263      $vars['wind_direction'] = $weather_info['wind']['direction'];
+264    }

yahoo-weather-forecast-content.tpl.php

<?php if (isset($wind_speed)) : ?>
  <p><strong><?php print t('Wind') ?>:</strong> 
	<?php if (isset($wind_direction)) : ?>
<?php
$compass = array('N', 'NNE', 'NE', 'ENE', 'E', 'ESE', 'SE', 'SSE', 'S', 'SSW', 'SW', 'WSW', 'W', 'WNW', 'NW', 'NNW'); 
print $compass[round($wind_direction / 22.5)];
?>
	<?php endif; ?>
  <?php print $wind_speed ?> <?php print $speed_units ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

If I add...

print $wind_direction

it will display the wind direction...proving that the data is being pulled in. Do you have any suggestions as to why this may not be working now?

Thanks again :)

*sigh* OK, it looks as though there's a problem with the code I've used to display the wind direction when it's coming from the North!

The wind has changed now to NNW and it is displaying OK - does this mean that my array needs to have N at the start and then repeated at the end or is it more complicated than that?

Note: When the problem occured the wind direction was 350 degrees
