I am having the same trouble.

In my opinion the problem are not the old variables (because they get converted but the error still occurs).

To proof that, I created a complete new testing widget with all available AccWeather.Core data (at least up to day2).

All variables are in the format ${xxx} and I still get value "0" for all temperature data, while all other non-temperature* are correct. // * except speed related data and pressure

After some testings I found out, that, after restarting XWidget, everything looks fine again... until... the next reboot.

If XWidget is not started with Windows and run manually afterwards instead, everything is working properly too.

More testing:
If I set the Temp Unit to Fahrenheit I can let XWidget start with Windows (XP), all temp values get filled with the correct (Fahrenheit) values.
But, if I switch my Temp Unit to "Celsius" (using menu with "!SetCelcius"), then all values (which could be converted, like temperatures, pressure and speeds) will be filled with "0" (which can be fixed again with restarting XWidget).

I can reproduce this behaviour as often as I like, it's always the same.
Reloading only the widget does not help anything. And the files in die Cache folder show all the proper values (both units) for those "zero" values.

So it seems, the trouble is somehow related to Temp Unit "Celsius" and XWidget reading/interpreting the file (when started/initialised on Windows startup)
(btw: Changing the other settings "Language" and "WindSpeed Unit" does not have any negative effect for me on all combinations I have tried, only "Temp Unit: Celsius".).

On my system, XWidget is starting slightly before the network icon appears in the tray, maybe you know if this (network) could have some influence on that issue.
When I disable the network connection and reboot, I don't get zero filled Celsius values (but I guess, in that case XWidget does not execute all functions).

I hope the error can be found and fixed soon.

With kind regards

P. S.:

${updateTime} is missing the leading zero in minutes. It's now shown as 14:5 instead of expected 14:05 and as it was before (e. g. version 1.84 ).

${dayText1} gives as result 10-30 and
${moonPhaseDesc1} is giving moonPhaseDesc1. Are those values correct?

Is it possible to access other AccuWeather data (e. g. "CloudCover") that Xwidget does not offer but that are already in the cached data files?

P. P. S.: And not to forget: Many, many thanks for the new version! Except for the above descripted issue, the new AccuWeather.Core is simply wonderful and a big jump.
 

All my old widgets works fine

Guys sounds crazy but I have not all these problems with the designer or the accuweather core...!
All my old widgets works fine and the Windows still recognizes the old file format..
(maybe because the prev was a patched version for Android support and the files remained in the folder/registry?)
I installed over the prev version and all works (for now) except this little character bug on the city selection window:

Would someone please mind checking some of the old widgets that have a update now event using !UpdateWeather for the accweathercore, does it still work. As the update now does not work on all the accweather widgets I have, only the first time when they load.
Thanks

Hi, Jimking, please try this patch , I had try to fix this problem : http://xwidget.com/download_patch.php

Tony weather update still not working for me even after patch.
Setting page shows timer spinning "updated 31 min ago", but update does not proceed when requested.

Once removed everything works OK. !UpdateWeather from a button press now works.

I'm using the portable version. Anyway, I tried what you said but still doesn't work.

I also changed to the portable version after using the install version, I made the mistake of moving all my widgets from the install versions default location eg. user/.... to the portabe version folder location. I found most widget work fine in either loaction but the weather widgets worked in the original location but not in the portable version loaction. I no that probably dosent make sense but it was diffently the case. Moved them back to the original location and they work OK.

But, how do you "tell" xwidget portable that the widget folder is located now on My Documents rather than on AppData

The bug depends on the program hamid, not the widgets or the tags..
As I said the "Restart" of XWidget resolves the issue..

OK, I think I see what the problem is, at least in w7. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I just ran xwidget as administrator and now it works. The think I don't know whether I'm now in the jimking's situation ("restarting resolves the issue" -- never happened to me) or its completely resolved; still working, though.
Jimking, were you running xwidget as administrator, too?

Regards and merry christmas

Hello flibio. From the benning, on my laptop with Win7 x32 Ultimate, XWidget runs with the Autostart option without changing any admin privileges. The issue with the weather update appears only in this last version..

but meanwhile you could run xwidget as admin in order to make work the weather core.

Would be nice if it were that easy but ... your solution does not work for me.
I use windows 7 x64.

2. does it happen at the start or at the middle?
not understand the question

3. by restarting xwidget; does it fix the problem?
Anyway, when I reboot xwidget I can get weather update. And thus I do every time I want to see the weather update: I reset xwidget.

7. by using tags in code (as "%..."); does it fix the problem?
As experienced in other widget, when you change "$ {}" to "% ..." xwidget automatically leave it again: "$ {}"
But I can be mistaken about this.

does it working correctly at the start of widget and after some time change to zero?

you mean when rebooting xwidget it doesn't show zero temp or you mean something else?
is your problem "updating weather doesn't work" or "it's showing zero temperature"?

it will change "%..." to ${} for tags in the designer (gui)
but if you use "%..." in the script code, it doesn't change them to ${}

do you use my widget that i posted before?
it has "%..." tags in script code,
so you don't have to write code for testing it, just use it and post the result

1. are you using install version or portable version? Instal version
2. did you have install version or portable version before using this version? Instal version
