AccuWeather *New Link*

KenpoJudge · 07-12-2003, 09:21 PM

The WCC file uses

http://www.accuweather.com/pda/pda_5...?thisZip=60612

for the URL but I prefer

http://avantgo.accuweather.com/pda/i...?zipcode=60612

I doubt I'm the first to spot this other URL but, in the spirit of contribution, I thought I'd post it.

Kenpo, this is actually a very nice alternative link. Deserves its own entry

emale07 · 07-13-2003, 10:13 AM

That is a nice link - I wish my visor edge could handle all the graphics

I can't get this new link to work, when I download it, it gives me a setup screen asking me for my zip code... since I am unable to enter it, dunno what to do...

Alexander Turcic · 07-13-2003, 11:23 AM

Zorro, try to open it up with your PC browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and enter the Zip code from there. The page you are redirected to is the one you want to use with iSiloX.

thanks for the new link!!

zorro_ksig8 · 07-13-2003, 11:41 AM

that is the first thing I did...

I clicked on his link, entered my zip 85308
and then copied the link...

pasted it in isilox etc etc, enabled cookies....

I get the error Unable to open: mailto:avantgo@accuwx.com

not sure what is going on, but it gives me an 8k file that is the setup screen for the page via avantgo

any suggestions?

zorro_ksig8 · 07-13-2003, 11:51 AM

well I went into my origional accuweather file in isilox and changed the url to the new one, and it works, although I can no longer "Get Details" and can't see "optional location forcast"

is this normal? or am I missing some cookies...

ok, n/m I ran the conversion process again, and this time it gave me the correct cookies...

KenpoJudge · 07-13-2003, 01:21 PM

I went to the trouble of creating this so you might as well see it...

Just added this one yesterday. Great link. Thanks for the heads up.

JSRunnels · 07-15-2003, 01:01 PM

Really, really nice weather site. Wish I could get it to work. I can get to it in Safari (IE for Mac's). I really want it on my handheld. I copied url with my zip, enabled cookies, link depth 1. When I sync, I get a generic home page looking thing - no graphics, just input for my zip. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

KenpoJudge · 07-15-2003, 01:09 PM

What cookies do you currently have set up for Accuweather? IIRC I needed six cookies.

JSRunnels · 07-15-2003, 01:12 PM

Cookie? IIRC? 6?

All I did was enable the send and receive cookies on the isilox screen...

(Sorry if this is an isilox for dummies question...)

There is info about retrieving cookie information for iSiloX at

http://www.turcic.com/forums/showthr...=&threadid=258

If you look in the cookie screen in iSiloX now, what's there?

Oh, IIRC = "If I recall correctly"

JSRunnels · 07-15-2003, 01:53 PM

there are no cookie there, but I have both the send and receive cooikes activated. Doesn't isilox actually receive cookies? Do I have to put them in manually? Where do I find them, if I do? (I am a Mac person - I browse with Safari.)

Thanks for your help!!
