ObjectDock 1.9 weather doclet for perth australia

April 27, 2007 10:36:36 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I just upgraded to objectdock plus 1.9, and was disappointed to find that the weather doclet doesn't work for Perth in Western Australia.

Previously, I was using the code of ASXX0089 (as detailed here https://forums.stardock.com/?ForumID=176&AID=77098) but this doesn't work anymore, probably because objectdock 1.9 is using AccuWeather.com, where as version 1.5 of objectdock was using www.weather.com.

I have confirmed that other locations work (like the example of Berlin,Germany), but Perth,Australia does not work.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

OK I've booked my tickets to Berlin although this does work out to be a rather expensive solution to fix a problem with $30 worth of software. However, Jafo's solution will have to do until stardock fix the problem, then I'll move back to Australia

I thought the Australian version worked like this.....

Step 1 - Use your mouse to hover over the weather icon
Step 2 - Go and stick your head out the window, you should see your weather there.

"Strewth, mate...ya think it's evah gunna rain?"

"Dry as a dead dingo's donger, me old china."

"Well, bugger me".

"Fair-dinkum".

"chuck us a tinnie anyhow"

"put ya money on the fridge"

I,ve done the stupidest thing...
I tried to install weather.com instead of the preinstalled accuweather.
And I accidently wrote over the weatherdocklet.dll.
Does anyone know how to get the original Weatherdocklet.dll back. I've looked in the trash and it's not there. Please help me. I want the accuweather-file back because i've learned that it's possible to use it with locations outside of the us. Didn't think so from the start... Thanks in advance/Traget

Edit: Managed to get the file from the exe-file.

Go to http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-list.asp?submit=GO&u=1&partner=accuweather

I went to "International Location", typed in my city, it came up with the title up the top in bold - I just used that in the weather docket and BAM!

Copy and paste this information into the docklet locaations: Perth, Australia (Western Australia)

This is a decode of the location name for your area. It should work for you as I have it running here. Considering the snow here your weather looks fantastic.
