Error after forecast removal

[Dave Webb KB1PVH]

I decided to remove the Forecast module and after doing it I realized I messed up and did it wrong...I think and can't figure it out.

This is what I did

odroid@odroid:~$ sudo /home/weewx/bin/wee_extension --uninstall forecast

Request to remove extension 'forecast'

Finished removing extension 'forecast'

After starting weewx back up I get this error.

one of your templates is trying to use the $forecast module, but you have removed the ForecastVariables search list extension.

any specific reason that you removed the forecast extension?

Now that I think about it, I remember my Steel Series Gauges scrolls it across the top. 

 I removed it because I wasn't using it other than to scroll across the top of the S.S. Gauges. I have a forecast link that goes to the Weather Underground forecast page. For me it was easier to have actual text to read with the forecast instead of weewx with icons.

thank you dave.  that is quite helpful.

there is a 'description' field in the forecast database that contains exactly this kind of information (at least, it is supposed to :)

i supposed that would be the absolute baseline case of using the forecast extension.  the forecast service would download the forecast data once every 4 hours (that is how often the forecasts actually change).  then you could simply do $forecast.description to get the text for the next forecast period.

one of my intents with the forecast extension is that a weewx-generated web site should not *have* to have embedded iframes or other links to web services; it should be possible to make the weewx-generated pages completely self-sufficient.  (part of this rationale comes from many of my use cases, where network accessibility and reliability are poor)

This is the page that I use for forecasts

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.1501&lon=-71.7628&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2

I thought it was Weather Underground but now see it's not.
