A common problem is that the Google API requires you to parse a locale
dependent string. The Weather command currently supports only
English.
If your Firefox is configured to use a different language preference
for loading pages, then the command will fail.
I fixed this by redefining the command:
Change:
CmdUtils.previewGet( pblock, url, {weather: location}, function
(xml) {
by
CmdUtils.previewGet( pblock, url, {weather: location, hl:'en'},
function(xml) {
I addition, I enclosed the parsing routine in a try-catch block and
issue a notification in case Google does not supply the information
for some reason:
try
{
var wind_speed = parseInt(wind_text[1].split(" ")[1]);
var wind_units = "mph";
//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_units
//UK uses mph
if (user_location && ["US","UM", "LR", "MM",
"GB"].indexOf(user_location.country_code) == -1) {
wind_units = "km/h";
wind_speed = wind_speed * 1.6;
}
var wind = wind_text[0] + " at " + wind_speed.toFixed(1) +
wind_units;
}
catch(ex)
{
displayMessage("Information not available");
