[QUOTE="Micropolis, post: 954197, member: 96567"] Hi Dadeo, thanks for your feedback. Sure, I don't need more than 30min. for development and test. This option was removed to dissolve the dependency to the skin path media\worldweather\provider. Do we want use the same location here or the media folder? Personally I prefer the first solution, because it makes no sense to save the same images (for WorldWeather Lite and WorldWeather) in different locations. That's a good point. The API return values of supported weather providers follow different standards (e.g. international weather code or Where On Earth ID), the next provider require the country name, another the city name in a special style (see provider comparison sheet and required input parameters). WorldWeather doesn't have the chance to solve this problem completely. Unfortunately, this can of course lead to the described problems. Let me give a overview of my best practice rules: [LIST] [*]always try to take the English place names without country code abbreviations [*]primarily use the international codes (e.g. CAXX0165 from your example) [*]use country names, which you can select in the combobox of the configuration dialog (in case entries should be missing, please send me information) [*]fill longitude/latitude values, if the parameters cannot be determined automatically [/LIST] I can check your example at weekend, currently I do not have access to my development machine and/or HTPC. "Correct" is not the right word, here it is more the problem that each provider makes it a little bit different. But these small differences can lead to problems in the sum.
