Hi Paramvir,
Your conky seems very nice but I can't use it, can you make an short explanation about how to use it or send me a conf file that I can modify and use.
Hi - Thanks
Please refer to the manual "man conkywx" pages or the wiki at https://bitbucket.org/plikhari/conkywx_pub/wiki/Home for detailed instructions / explanations.
The examples folder at /usr/share/conkywx/examples has many examples which can be used as is. Use the conky-restart.sh file to run the program. Have a look inside conky-restart.sh for examples on how to run the scripts.
cheers

@Paramvir, I checked examples and conky-restart.sh but I didn't realize how it work at first. But now I know how.
PS: I have exams on the weekend I think I studied too much. :S
After exams I will try it again (:

Great - just need to get a grip on conky and it is FUN!

I put my 9-character xml_ID and Location URL with format Location=http://www.wunderground.com/US/NY/MyCity.html in /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf, and ${execpi conkywx -d CT -c /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf} in ~/.conkyrc, and absolutely nothing happens. What did I do wrong?
> edit: okay, running the conky-restart.sh script brought up the conkywx info, but then my regular conky isn't displayed. Why can't conkywx just be called from inside conky? *confused*

Hey Thanks for your message
conky on it's own does not display anything - it uses a config file with a "-c config file path/name" option. There is a default config file which is mainly an example. To display 2 or more conky screens you can give multiple "conky -c config" lines and multiple instances of conky are therefore run. In the conky-restart.sh you will see many examples -
conky -c "$WX_DIR/examples/conky-system.sh" &
is commented and shows an example for showing your system information.
There are two ways we can resolve this:
you can either copy your "conky -c your config file" line and add it here to conky-restart.sh and use this script to run your conky setup
or
copy the export line in the beginning of the conky-restart.sh file
WX_DIR="/usr/share/conkywx"; export WX_DIR
at the beginning of your start script of conky then copy the conkywx line
conky -c "$WX_DIR/examples/wx-wu-font-short-conkyrc.sh" &
as well. Read the comments in the conky-restart.sh file to guide you further.
Please refer to the manual pages of conkywx "man conkywx" in a terminal window - for more information on conkywx and also google for how to use conky - you will see a world of information to guide you - otherwise you can always give us another shout
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
cheers

At last I make it work but after reboot I can't use it.
Now I want to ask something. I went to /usr/share/conkywx folder and checked conky-restart.sh it starts one of the script from the examples, right? So I copied that script to my conky folder, then I checked this script and I see that it calls for conky.conf from /etc/conkywx and a template from the examples folder. So I copied those files to my conky folder too. I made changes in scripts of course. And I could modify the conky but I couldn't modify the conf file. Nothing happens when I make changes in it. What did I do wrong ? (:

copy this line as well - after #!/bin/bash but before any conkywx commands in your script that starts conky and let me know if it works - this is an export for path variable
WX_DIR="/usr/share/conkywx"; export WX_DIR
.
The file /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf can be edited as root or using sudo. If you want to use a local copy you can cp it to your location but ensure you have the user rights. You may use chown - check man chown for usage.
Edit: you will need to state the name and location of this local config file with a "-c /path/filename" option when calling conkywx - see conkyrc files in examples directory.

Try again today and it worked.
This time I didn't copy files and start conky from /usr/share/conkywx folder. First I opened conky-restart.sh and enabled wx-wu-image-conkyrc.sh and started it. Then started to make changes in wx-wu-image-conkyrc.sh script and I made it fully transparent everything seemed fine. Then I started to play with conkywx.conf but I have to restart conky in order to see changes. That is the only thing I didn't like (:

Fantastic
Yes to see changes in conky you have to restart it as conkywx needs to run again to read the config file.
Now all you have to do is position the output by changing the "gap_y" in the wx-wu-image-conkyrc.sh. The config is fully transparent - you just need to comment the background image with a # character.
Also if you notice each conkyrc.sh file has a similarly named template.sh which has the information that is displayed on the screen.

Units_downloaded is reintroduced in the conkywx.conf
Feels Like temp corrected for Locales where download is in IMperial units
show_short_cond_text - New option introduced in conkywx.conf
automatically checks for new conkywx version every 24 hours and displays popup notification
NOTE: The new conkywx.conf will be saved as /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf.pacnew - review the changes and update your conkywx.conf
Read the conkywx man page.
This man page is also viewable at the conkywx wiki page https://bitbucket.org/plikhari/conkywx_pub/wiki/Home
Here is the conkywx AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59931

Hi,

Could you make the internet connectivity check disableable ? I'm behind a proxy and ping request cannot go through.

Thanks.
You are welcome
If you edit the /usr/share/conkywx.sh file - there is a function check_net ()
comment this line - put # at the start of the line
if eval "ping -c 1 www.wunderground.com &> /dev/null"; then
add below that line
if eval "wget -q -O /dev/null --no-cache www.wunderground.com"; then
This is assuming you are using the /etc/wgetrc or ~/.wgetrc file [config file for wget] to add the user name, password and url for your proxy.
Let me know if you get through

Hey Paramvir!
Great script! Ive been using it since VinDSL has been using it in his conky posts. I have a problem. In 0.7.2 I was having a problem where it uses New Dehli as the current temps but my location (Tampa) for everything else. It seemed to use your default .conf file instead of my custom one. I think I figured out I was using a bad URL for the location. Once I updated it it worked. Now I am getting the same problem with 0.7.3. This is my .conf call...
${execpi 900 conkywx -c "/home/dtokarz/.conky/weather/conkywx.conf" -t "/home/dtokarz/.conky/weather/Tampa.sh"}
The New Dehli location is commented out in my .conf file. Any reason why it does that? The debug shows New Dehli as the today forecast but Tampa as Element data output.
Edit: I found that my reporting site stopped reporting for hours! I changed it to a different site that is not rapid fire but quick enough. It appears to now show correct data. But if I run a conkywx --debug the wund-debug.log still shows New Dehli, but the today_forecast shows Tampa. I'm confused.

I'll test next week (I'm not behind a proxy at the moment) but there is no reason this won't work as wget is configured to go through the proxy.

You are right - there is an issue with the --debug output as it is picking up default information for config file as we are not issuing any config file information on the command line.
Working on a fix.
Thanks again

Pleased to announce the release of the latest conkywx version
Changes and fixes:
config file validations - exit if given file does not exist no fall back to default
version check download file timestamp issue corrected
check for internet now handled by wget not ping
config file additions - show_lowercase_ampm
config file additions - show_degsym_fc_temp
use_xml issues fixed where even if set to 0 - would still download the default data
Removed show_short_cond_text scattered from blacklist
additional option -b which works same as --debug
fixed --debug information to show config file used and xml_ID info.
NOTE:
The new conkywx.conf will be saved as /etc/conkywx/conkywx.conf.pacnew - review the changes and update your conkywx.conf
if you are using Gnome 3 - own_window_type in the *conkyrc.sh needs to be changed to normal
*conkyrc.sh files are configured on XFCE 4.10 with compiz + emerald - you may need to tweak conkyrc examples for your DE
Read the conkywx man page - let no RTFM issues plague you!!!

Hi, first thanks for great job. I use it, I like it
Is there any way to change Temperature Trend (FCTT) output from words "Steady", "Rising" etc to symbols, arrows perhaps?

Hey thanks - that is great.
Not yet but yes that would be nice - I can add that for an option request.

Well 0.6.8 was working quite well despite some artifacts here and there so I decided to upgrade. Strange that 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 just blanks out. I'm going to provide the pertinent files and see if something sticks out for knowledgeable:
Here seems to be the problem - The names of the templates has changed - refer to /usr/share/conkywx/conky-restart.sh - this has the names of the usable templates placed in the /usr/share/conkyex/examples directory.
${execpi 900 conkywx -t "/usr/share/conkywx/examples/wx-wu-font-template"}
it should read
${execpi 900 conkywx -t "/usr/share/conkywx/examples/wx-wu-font-template.sh"}
Remember to change the own_window_type for your DE.
I changed the names to .sh as the colour coding comes out in jedit [ or for that matter most of the linux editors] and it is so much easier to work with them rather than have every thing same colour
also check the /usr/share/conkyex/examples directory. - it has many more templates to use - you will see them in conky-restart.sh anyway.
Let me know if this works as all your data is fine

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# You can use the xml data which is provided at wunderground generated by
# Davis Vantage Pro series of private weather stations.
# This xml is updated every 2.5 seconds or there about - so one gets pretty
# much real-time weather data. Though the data contained is current and all
# predictive and astro data for sun and moon and 7 day forecast comes from
# from the main web page for your location.
# To get this xml_ID you need to visit the location of your interest
# which will give you the *Location* url [US] or number [rest of the world]
# at the bottom of the page you have a listing of private weather station feeding
# wunderground
# You will also notice a lot of them - under Type column have Rapid Fire in green -
# ideally one of these would make a good choice and you can select one closest to your
# location. The last part of the url is the number after the ID=. infact if you hover
# your mouse over the station name on the main page you will see a popup with the link
# url which has like this ID=I00020B4 - you can see examples below
# # New delhi GK 2
xml_ID=KMAMEDFO6
# Morristown area
# xml_ID=I00020B4
# Perth Wanneroo

The forecast shows in F though. And it displays F in Present Condition, but I'm pretty sure it isn't 18
Another question I had was that "Station:" shows KMAMED but Last Update shows KMAMEDF06
