. First install "conky" if you don't have it, also ensure that you have "curl" installed.

sudo apt-get install conky-all curl python-feedparser -y
***Weather***
To change the weather first load up Yahoo! Weather in your browser, search for your city and copy the 6 digit code in the URL. Back in the text editor, scoot down to the line containing the text weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=12707719&u=c’ and replace the stock weather code with the one for your location. To change the temperature unit to Fahrenheit replace the ‘c’ at the end of this link with ‘f’.

Hi,
I get the following message in ~/.cache/weather.xml when I run Flairweather, either from CLI or conky-manager:
I have obtained the credentials mentioned here, where can I insert them?
Thanks,

Hello all,
After much problems I have been abble to correct the issue with yahoo weather API :
- you can correct your query with the following code (the second answer using yql)
stackoverflow.com/questions/36…
-now the only problem is the "XML pettry print" format, for wich, we successfully have a python solution, actually this solution was given by gedit users in order to pretty print text files :
www.connorgarvey.com/blog/?p=2…
So you should create a python script containing the following
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
import lxml.etree as etree
import traceback
result = ''
for line in sys.stdin:
result += line
try:
x = etree.fromstring(result)
result = etree.tostring(x, pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True, encoding="UTF-8")
except:
etype, evalue, etraceback = sys.exc_info()
traceback.print_exception(etype, evalue, etraceback, file=sys.stderr)
print result
I called it "flair_fixture.py" and placed it in my workspace.

Following wich you will be abble to launch the following command from a terminal :
curl -s "://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid=HERE_GOES_YOUR_CITY_NUMBER" | python ../Workspace/flair_fixture/flair_fixture.py > ~/.cache/weather.xml
ET VOILA ! (as we french say so often)
consequently you should modify your conky script the following way :
${execi 300 curl -s "://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid=55863545" | python /home/your_user/Workspace/flair_fixture/flair_fixture.py > ~/.cache/weather.xml}\
Hope this helps guyz
Yet there are many more things like icons to work with but I guess this should lead you on the way.

please do not forget "https" and to correct format
sorry about that but it seems devianart.com is quite severe with all this.

After taking a closer look at it, you could encapsulate the "curl" part into a shell script.
Working quite fine after testing it myself !

I finally have it displaying right on my desktop (Xubuntu 14.04) but now the weather portion is not working. I set the location code for my city (which is a 4 digit code) and it remains at 1 degree and no location showing. When the letters were scrambled originally, the weather did work. Conky actually started working on it's own, possibly due to an upgrade as I did not change anything. Did Yahoo change it's access for Canadian locations. Any help would be appreciated

Hey, awesome theme. One question - I've changed the format to 24h but I still get AM/PM written under the time - how can I get rid of it? Played with time settings in conkyrc but haven't got far, it's still there.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! This is a beautiful addition to my desktop but I am having some trouble with it. I am pretty inexperienced with this sort of thing, so forgive me if my questions are too basic! The date, time, and weather all work great, but there are three things on the bottom left that say ${image}. I know they are supposed to be the vertical line, the weather outline and the three icons for high, low temp and location. I have all the files in the same directory as the rc (where they unzipped-I didn't move anything around.)
Thanks for your help!

Hi speedtracker,
I covered your conky on my blog It's FOSS. But several users have reported issues such as they don't see the Conky in eOS Luna.
For Ubuntu 14.10, time display is overlapped.
Can you please check these issues?

I know you problem . You will be able to fix by. I believe your using Ubuntu? Go this below
## cairo-compmgr
own_window_type override
own_window_argb_visual no
Will need to edit this in Conky Manager or gedit in the script
to this
## cairo-compmgr
own_window_type dock
own_window_argb_visual no
And save
Retry the conky and let me know.

Hey, thanks for this awesome look. I've got the same issue, and it works the same for me, using either version of the compmgr code I'm afraid. I'm just looking now to see if it's a Conky-Manager thing, but haven't been able to find anything, and it doesn't happen with other conky setups (so far).
Thanks for your work with troubleshooting for us. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a noob, but will keep noodling around on this end to see if I can find what's happening. I'm running Ubuntu version 15.04 with Unity. Cheers!
