Whoops! I was using the wrong template file. I had a BBC file and a WeatherNetwork-Ca template on the SD card that I keep all my installers on, so I assumed that I had been using the WeatherNetwork-Ca template previously. It turns out that I had been using one from the Weather channel. So the correct template, in conjunction with the latest version of Spb Weather now gets me a forecast as detailed as I had previously.

I replied to Yevgeniy’s post in the Pocket PC Thoughts thread suggesting that they consider implementing a mechanism in future versions of the product to save template files when upgrading.

Hmm… I had it working using CAXX0167 as the weathercode, using this template: http://www.pdagold.com/themes/detail.asp?t=13038 as the source and I was getting a 14 day forecast with a fairly small download. Now I have to use CABC0119 and I only get seven days, with a much larger download.

Oh well. At least I can get a forecast now…

Thanks for your help!

Okay, reinstall Spb Weather with Shell, and then add this to a folder on your PPC.

From within the options menu in Spb Weather, you can look for databases. Find this one and you should be okay? I hope…

Let me know.

I’m on the Mobile Shell page atm, and I do not see a weather plugin mentioned. There’s obviously Spb Weather but I assume you’re not talking about that.

I sprung for it, and noticed that there were updates to Weather, Diary and Pocket Plus available, so I downloaded and installed them all at once. Now I have no weather forecasts available for my location. Uninstalling this version of Spb Weather and reinstalling the previous (functioning) version didn’t correct it either. So I`m off the the Spb forums to see if there are any other reports of this happening.

I need more money
