Reviews of "Weather Zimlet"
Works nice.
1. Admin must add to zimbra allow domain (proxy domani) - COS: *.api.woundergound.com
2. Users see in the forecast weather for the following week temperature in F instead of Celsius. In some countries, people use Celsius. ;-) This can be a potential problem.
Thanks Soba for your inputs.

Fixed this. Please update the extension. Now if the user clicks on 'Weather for next 7 days' option, the weather will be shown in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scale. :-)
-Thanks

Try setting a proper zipcode. What zipcode did you try out?
by stanguturi on November 21, 2011
Sorry about that error. We use the wunderground apis under the hood to get the weather information. Please check the documentation available at http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/documentation.html
Check the valid terms applicable for 'query' field. By default if no zipcode is specified, the value is taken as autoip which actually figures our the zipcode based on the ip address of your machine. Else, you can enter any of the valid terms specified in the documentation.
Eg:
CA/San_Francisco
60290 ===> (U.S. zip code)
Australia/Sydney
37.8,-122.4 ===>(latitude,longitude)
KJFK ===>(airport code)
pws:KCASANFR70 ====>(PWS id)
autoip
-Thanks

Sorry. I didn't understand correctly. Is this zip code that you are using?

I am getting same error tried to use Canada/Ottawa.
And i tried another few vriations, but no luck.
zmcontrol -v
Release 7.1.3_GA_3346.RHEL6_64_20110928134428 CentOSUNKNOWN_64 FOSS edition
Unset the zipcode and try again. It seems the wunderground apis work well only for US zipcodes. For outside US, just leave the zipcode. Based on the ip address of the machine, it will figure out the right details.

If you have a proxy that needs to be set, then please set it in your system.

Release 7.1.3_GA_3346.RHEL5_64_20110928134520 CentOS5_64 FOSS edition.

Please make suer that proxy is set if you have any.

Right click on the zimlet and you will be able to see a context window. Choose preferences and set the zipcode.

can't set a zipcode..:(
'Can't set a zipcode'... Can you please explain little more about the problem. You don't find the popup window? or even after setting the zipcode, it doesn't work?
by stanguturi on January 13, 2012
zipcode is applicable only for US addresses. For non US users, don't set anything in the zipcode. It will automatically figure out your location.

Zimlet is deployed, zimbraProxyAllowedDomains has *.api.wunderground.com set in all COS, Zimlet appears and can be selected in the Web UI, but I get the REST API Error here as well.
Is there some secret to making this work?
I could get this working without any extra setup on my zimbra desktop on MAC. Many users have reported issues with ZCS. I need to figure that out.
by stanguturi on January 13, 2012
If you have MAC, you can use the zimbra desktop on MAC. It works without any issue.
by stanguturi on January 13, 2012
This zimlet is broken, even after changing the API key in /opt/zimbra/zimlets-deployed/com_zimbra_weather/weather.jz .

If there is a proxy server setting that needs to be set, make that you have the option set in your system.
