Ageo date and time weather fix

This fixes the weather API for Ageo Rainmeter skin. (https://www.deviantart.com/hiphopium/art/Ageo-788359446)

Get an API Key

First of all, we will need an API key from WeatherApi.com. Go to https://www.weatherapi.com/ and register for free.

On the dashboard you will see:

API Key: <characters and number>

for example:

API Key: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde

Note the api key, we will use it in a bit.

Edit Time and Date.ini

With Ageo loaded, right click on the Time and Date skin and click Edit Skin. A Notepad will open with the file C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Ageo\Time and Date\Time and Date.ini

Choose one of the files attached here, Celcius or Farenheit.

Copy the text in the the file you selected here and completely replace the contents of the Notepad file.

Update the API Key and Location

Look for the [MeasureCurrent] section in Notepad and look at the Url setting.

[MeasureCurrent]
...
Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=YOUR API KEY&q=YOUR LOCATION
...

Replace YOUR API KEY with the weather.com API Key and YOUR LOCATION with a US Zipcode, UK Postcode, Canada Postalcode, IP address, Latitude/Longitude (decimal degree) or city name.

for example:

Manila, Philippines

Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde&q=Manila

Beverly Hills

Url=http://api.weatherapi.com/v1/current.xml?key=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde&q=90210

Look at https://www.weatherapi.com/docs/#intro-request under Request Parameters q parameter for more info.

Finish up

Save the file. Right-click the Time and Date skin and click Refresh skin

Enjoy!

Hello and thank you for making this fix to the skin. However I have a question, I am not english and not really good at coding but I was trying to use the translate function that is provided with the skin, unfortunately, the first two part of the sentence work whereas the rest (especially the conditions part) does not work, how can I fix this? thanks in advance.
Edit: I also wanted to ask you if you know how to scale the box where there is the weather sentence, because it has become quite long and don't know how to add another line so it becomes 4 lines instead of 3. thanks again.

Make sure you replace the entire text with one of the two codes he attached at the end (Celcius or Fahrenheit). You must delete all the code and put the new one he attached. Then you can change the API key.

Don't worry about the length of the lines, as long as you didn't press [enter] that is okay.

it seems that the weather doesnt work for uk weather codes, i put in an american code it works fine but one from the uk doesnt do anything, any ideas on a fix?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this fix! Thank you to AliAkinK above who mentioned that we have to replace the entire code rather than just input our keys and locations. I just wanted to add that, just in case anyone else is as confused as I was, there is no Celsius or Fahrenheit attachment in the Ageo folder itself. In the Time and Day.ini document that opens in Notepad when you select Edit Skin, you have to replace that ENTIRE code with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit codes attached in the post, then enter your key and location as explained. Thank you again for this fix, thanks Ali!!

Works! Thank you so much.

thank u very much it fixed ,but do have a code for (Bendon ,or Conky Vision 2,or Enmon ,SimpliMaX )skins anyone of them
thank u

thanks! but... the info is not showing anymore, i pasted a new one's is not work anymore, any suggestions?

Success!! Thank you!

I want to fix this and I am from Melbourne. I tried the methods above however I cannot fix it.

Works like a charm, although I could't get my city to work, as it's a remote place in Mumbai. So, I went to Google Maps, and long pressed on the map on my location, till I got a popup with the longitude and latitude, copy pasted that into the location field and it works as expected :)

Thanks for the fix, much appreciated.
