I had to use the main URL address for my city (which means the weather is more generalised) before the wind direction number in 27p was generated again.
Don't let Teo hear that explanation... :lipsrsealed:
Haha, not likely. I've been a registered member of bunsenlabs forum since 2015 but I've never posted there! (I did make an introduction post long ago in the now defunct crunchbang forum....).
Line 27p in curr_cond is just completely empty when I use the old URL location. Once I switch to the more general URL location, the wind code reappears. I swapped back and forth a few times to check it out. I'm not sure if this is a temporary glitch or permanent.
It's really weird because when I compare the webpages for the general city and the location closer to me, both display the wind forecasts and codes NOT on their main pages (which are the URLs used in accuweather script) but their respective sub-pages for "Hourly forecasts" (which URLs are not used in the accuweather script). Yet the city location's wind code still appears but the older location's wind code does not.
As a test, I tried to change the URL to the hourly forecast subpage URL of my old location, to see if line 27 will appear again. Nope.
==========================
[CORRECTION] The number in the accuweather page is not the wind code but the wind speed!
But in any case, the webpage of the URL used in accuweather script does not itself have the wind details. Only current, daily, hourly, etc subpages show the wind direction and speed.

It's completely the opposite of what you just wrote.
So the "local weather side" shows no wind symbol at all!
Do you know the difference between (crunchbang-forum)/bunsenlabs-forum AND the mx-forum?
The users show their configurations without hesitation, so that the helper(s) can build it. They don't talk too much around the bush.

not true.
BOTH the city and local location's main accuweather.com URL addresses do
not show any wind direction and speed
when I view the pages via the browser, yet the CONKY will
still show conkywind symbols if I use the city's main URL address in the accuweather script. If I use the local area's main URL address in the accuweather script, the conkywind symbols no longer show up in the CONKY
even though it used to.
In the browser, if you visit accuweather.com for my city or local area, the wind direction and wind speed are only displayed on their sub-pages for Hourly, Current, Daily, etc forecasts, not the main URL address.

conky - no changes made to the config from the time it worked to yesterday when it failed. (and this was your config)
And remember, I just tested your eadwine_weather configuration as well. I just copied your config as is. No conkywind symbols appeared in the conky. Now I know it is because I used my local location URL.
The only change therefore is in 1_accuweather script: the location URL.
I am not keen to disclose my location on the forum.

Do you know how many times people tell us that we don't do things like (take your pick) Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro, Mint, and now bunsenlabs do? It gets old...

More information and developments. It seems that if you were initially running conky A with the 1_accuweather script, then you killed it and ran conky B with the
same accuweather script, line 27p in curr_cond will not be generated again. But if you then edit the 1_accuweather script to change to a
different location, and then re-run conky, line 27p will be generated again for this new location URL, and the conkywind symbols will appear on your conky again.
This is what happened to me last night:
I was working on eadwine_weather, because your original config had font sizes for conkyweather and conkywind that I felt were too large. I was using the main city URL in 1_accuweather script. After I got it adjusted to my liking, I decided to return to your small square weather conky.
But when I did that, the conkywind symbols disappeared from the conky again. I checked curr_cond file and line 27p was missing again. Switched back to my local area URL, and it works again to generate line 27p.
Strange.

That's not strange but logically
Both Conky's have a default time when they call the script.

What I don't understand at all from your experience, why don't you just use the address of Teo in the script or my
Code: Select all
https://www.accuweather.com/en/de/dresden/01067/weather-forecast/171239
to get to the bottom of the error of the "missing WIND symbol" in your're configuration ? and, your conkyrc is also kept secret ?

@xali
To give your wttr-conky a "certain form", you could first write the curl output into a file and let Conky read it from there. A test looks like this:
I used the font
Fira Mono and set its size to 7. This is still justifiable on the desktop.
The window size of the Conky is here
Code: Select all
minimum_size 300 500
maximum_width 1000
If you use a larger font, size 10 would just have to fit in.
Your conky command would be:
Code: Select all
${font Fira Mono:size=7}${execi 600 curl 'wttr.in/XXXXXX?Q?1?T?F' > weather}
${exec cat weather}${font}
"weather" find in your /home

How do you get the conkys created for 1_Accuweather to show in the Conky Manager? Or is not possible.

I added the direcctory to the Location in Conky Manager

You need to make your conkys in the old conky syntax. Conky manager only recognises conkys as conkys if they are in old syntax. Otherwise they won't show up within the CM list. Doesn't mean they don't work but you can't run them from within CM.
Post your conkys and let's see. I can help convert them if need be.
