RSS - FEED

[Fjordey]

I realize not many are using the RSS feed, yet I am to just get a quick check of things while sorting through my news feeds... regaurdless the reason I need help if possible...

I'm not an expert by any means, but can fumble my way through the coding most times.

#1 I edited the template to only provide the current conditions. That works.
#2 I was trying to format the returned data:

Wind: 0 mph from N/A; Rain: 0.00

trying to remove the ";" and put Rain: 0.00 on the next line.. (have not figured that out)

#3 I have noticed that my rain total is 0.00 when it should show 0.80 for toal rain.
Note: the rain total and text formating were not working before I edited the template.

any help would be apreciated... Hopefully I'm just overlooking something simple.

A template file is a not-very-obvious mix of HTML and Cheetah tags. To get the formatting you need, change this

#for $x in $observations
  #if $getattr($current, $x).has_data
    #if $x == 'windSpeed'
        $obs.label.wind: $current.windSpeed $gettext("from") $current.windDir;
    #else
        $obs.label[$x]: $getattr($current, $x);
    #end if
  #end if
#end for

to this

#for $x in $observations
  #if $getattr($current, $x).has_data
    #if $x == 'windSpeed'

        $obs.label.wind: $current.windSpeed $gettext("from") $current.windDir;<br/>

    #else
        $obs.label[$x]: $getattr($current, $x);<br/>
    #end if
  #end if
#end for

The "rain" tag under "Weather Conditions" is the rain that fell during the last archive period, which is generally only 5-30 minutes. If you want rain since midnight, you can find that under "Daily summary".
