Is there anyway to embed code to your signature to display a weather sticker? I have tried many ways and can't get it to work.. Here is the link to the weather stickers: http://www.wunderground.com/weather...KMACARVE4&freq=2.5&units=english&lang=EN&MR=1 I would like to have the weather in a small format like the top sticker at the link . I think it would be interesting to see the weather from everyone's location. Is this doable here? Thanks, Ray
http://weathersticker.wunderground....ortcode=KLEW&ForcedCity=Durham&ForcedState=ME The standard code doesn't work for me.. You must be modifying the code?
Finally figured out what I did wrong.. The new weather stickers aren't as nice as the original ones though They changed them all recently it appears..
Yup I think it's a great idea Mike! Ok here's the deal folks: Go to http://www.wunderground.com/stickers/classic.html?query=San Francisco, California&MR=1 Select your location Look at the weather stickers to see what you prefer Right click the sticker you want From the pop up dialog box click "Copy image location" Open forum then click on the image icon in either the post box and/or your signature An image url box will pop up Paste the code into this box Click insert Voila you're done!

MM can you make the post with the tutorial on how to add weather sticker a sticky in the forum? Thanks, Ray
That's how I did it at first -- look at the HTML code that is generated for the sticker by wunderground.com. Should look something like this: HTML: <a href="http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=zmw:04967.1.99999&bannertypeclick=wu_bluestripes"><img src="http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wu_bluestripes&airportcode=KWVL&ForcedCity=Pittsfield&ForcedState=ME" alt="Click for Pittsfield, Maine Forecast" height="90" width="160" /></a> You only want the part in quotes after 'img src=' Copy and paste only what is in quotes immediately after Add IMG tags before and after the link you just copied The finished code looks like this Code: [img]http://weathersticker.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/banner/ban/wxBanner?bannertype=wu_bluestripes&airportcode=KWVL&ForcedCity=Pittsfield&ForcedState=ME[/img]
I'm going to leave it unlocked for now. If your happy with it or want me to leave it unlocked, let me know.
Is there a block in the forum software preventing us from embedding flash objects? The PWS (adobe flash) won't embed. Maybe I don't understand bbcode, I thought this would work. [flash=http://www.wunderground.com/swf/pws...RG18&freq=2.5&units=english&lang=EN]width=500 height=500[/flash] This works in HTML HTML: <object width="400" height="400" data="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/pws_mini_rf_nc.swf?station=KCOEVERG18&freq=2.5&units=english&lang=EN"> </object>
Nope, just a different way to get to the same place. I didn't try the right click/embed at first - figured you had already tried it Your way is quicker. But it bugs me that I can't get the PWS flash to embed.
Yup the original sticker was flash and much nicer but looks like they don't have it anymore.. My weather station is not one used at weather for you . com.. Wunderground is set up for my setup though..
We're getting close MM.. Just trying to figure the best and easiest way for forum members to add the stickers.. Thanks, Ray
The sticker is still there http://www.wunderground.com/weather...KMACARVE4&freq=2.5&units=english&lang=EN&MR=1 But the first two with more info are SWF files. Embedding them as an image won't work. And the embed media button on this forum limits which sites you can embed content from. You may embed media from the following sites: Dailymotion Facebook Liveleak Metacafe Vimeo YouTube I guess a mod would need to allow content from wunderground or allow flash content to be embedded.
Yup I just tried and found this before you posted and I agree the forum will not allow this link.. Guess my method is the easiest way for others to achieve the more basic weather sticker.. Your way does the same thing but would be harder for non-html people to do.. What do you think Mike? Ray
Your how-to is the way to go -- I was just posting the 'behind the scenes' for people to understand how to go from the HTML generated by wuderground to BBcode this site uses.
