weather widget?

[Ramsesx]

Investigated a lot but I can't find a resource for creating a special weather widget.
I mean a widget listing some cities of the world like here (right on the bottom "world weather").
Thanks for helping.

There is no Weather Widget in vB. You would have to create a custom one with either Static HTML or PHP Direct Execution. Try asking over at www.vbulletin.org for help.

I know weather.com do a widget builder that you can copy and paste the code for into a widget but I've a feeling it's only for a single city (it's a little restricted outside the US...).

If you find one that will display local weather by the members location please let me know

Thanks, yes there is no widget Steve, just looking for a code to place in. I did some hours of google and bing search but I can't find anything. Trevor, yes for single cities are enough sites available.
@rootsxrocks, noted.

search your city. click embed. copy paste code.

Each city has a different "code" against it. If you can find a list that matches all codes and their respective cities, using geoip you can create an add-on that will display weather based on visitor location.

Could you explain how to use that? Because I'd like to have a weather widget on my forum as well. I'm new to forum building, but I'm getting better.

create a new static html widget and paste codes in there.

I'm sorry I can't explain the second method. This involves rather complex codings and quite a bit of work which I can't afford atm. If I even make this, I'll release it to vb.org.

Okay, well thanks. That will just have to work for now
