I have been fooling with this for hours and I can not get anything to work. Can someone please help?

No matter what I try, my bbSky won't display anything at all except my town name. It looks like this:

I would be thrilled if anyone can help. I would love to have a current weather pane and then several days of forecast appear, but that comes after just getting something to show up. I appear to be totally helpless.

I downloaded this plugin through this site and it didn't come with a .dll file. Am I missing something and this is the way it supposed to be? Or did I just get a bad link. The bbsky link the the bb4win site is also broken. I'd really like to use this plugin. :)

nice plugin!, but i cant get it to work =(. everything is fine but the icon is always the unknown one, im using the lastest 0.0.5 ver.

[quote="eDio"]Hello. I've made for personal use bbi module, that displays hint on mouseover on weather icon. And now I see, that people request such feature... So till there is no such feature you can use my module :wink:
You have to set right paths in [b]weatherModule.rc[/b] (lines 28, 47, 75) and set needed coords and sizes. Also you have to edit [b]weatherhint\BBHotSpots.rc[/b] - to set the same coords and sizes for hotspot, as for your weather icon...
Goodluck![/quote]
This is really great! Less work for me, at least for now. :wink:

[quote="Corsair"]Excuse me, I'm a Chinese,and I want to translate the BBsky into Chinese.
How can I translate the weather name into Chinese?
How to change it?
I can't find the XML write in Chinese
thx.[/quote]
If I understand right, you will need to find XML or website in Chinese, because BBsky only grabs the source and displays it. It doesn't translate anything.

[quote="eDio"]Oh... forgot to show, how it looks :wink: [/quote]
That looks awesome, that's how it looks ;)

Thank you! It is working now! Very cool effect.

You need to install bbCmd.
weatherhint.dll - is just renamed bbhotspots.dll... So maybe (dunno exactly), if you already have this plugin loaded you would get such error... But I do have renamed plugin to avoid such situation... So I think, you need bbCmd (you can get it on xoblite.net)

My interface can not load the weatherhint.dll.

Oh... forgot to show, how it looks :wink:

[quote="pitris"]Sure I can, but also you can!
Set BBsky.errorShout to false.[/quote]

my bad, sorry & thanks pitris =D>

[quote]This is really a good idea! I like it. You mean to extract the BBsky.icons section from the .rc and put it into its own file. And into .rc wrote something like BBsky.themefile.[/quote]With this could be more easy to change between the icons you want to be displayed. Better if you could access this through a menu.
