It's dependent on an XML file with all wview variables. I did it this way because then the web server can easily parse the weather station variables (using PHP, python, etc). I came across a problem with the 'forecastIcon' parameter. Using Quote: <forecastIcon><!--forecastIcon--></forecastIcon> in my wxall.xtx template, results in Quote: <forecastIcon><img src="fc-icon-partlycloudy.gif"></forecastIcon> Which is not XML (the img tag is not closed), and causes the parser to complain. I can hack the source so that I get Quote: <forecastIcon><img src="fc-icon-partlycloudy.gif"/></forecastIcon> Which is valid XML, but would require special treatment for this single case since the img tag is not #text So I have since hacked the code so that I actually get: Quote: <forecastIcon>fc-icon-partlycloudy.gif</forecastIcon> This is working perfectly well, but is not compatible with whatever anyone else might have done, and I would not want to hack my version of wview everytime there is a new version. Is there a solution in future where there could be for example a forecastIconImg variable which is just the name of the gif? My in-work weather page is here: http://neshamn.no/vh-weather/, and shows a dynamic weather page that uses zope/python and if anyone wants an XML template with every wview variable, then look here: http://neshamn.no/vh-weather/wview_img/wxall.xtx Jeremy Back to top mteel Joined: 30 Jun 2005 Posts: 435 Location: Collinsville, TX Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 7:39 am    Post subject: I will add a new HTML tag "--forecastIconFile--" to the next release which just generates the filename.
