Incorrect world times

[jwhayman]

Hi, I've tried to set multiple world clocks. The weather is displayed correctly, but the times for each city are set to my default city, rather than their correct times.

I had a look in the .ini files but couldn't find where this could be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Even i am facing the same issue

Might be solved by #65 but i am not sure how to do it exactly.

I have looked through the faq section but nothing much there.

Having the same issue - tried the fix mentioned in #65 and either did it incorrectly or it doesn't fix the issue. Thanks!

I've sorted this out. The web service used by Enigma is no longer accessible without an account. To get it working, you need to:

• Register an account with http://www.geonames.org/
• Enable your account for web services access http://www.geonames.org/enablefreewebservice
• Modify the Sidebar/World/World.inc file so that the Url value in the [MeasureTimeZone] section reads:
  Url=http://ws.geonames.org/timezone?lat=#CurrentCodeLat#&lng=#CurrentCodeLon#&username=YOUR_GEONAMES_USERNAME_HERE
• Reload the skin and it should work.

Hi Epiphron
i have something like the following and it does not seem to work :(

[MeasureTimeZone]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
UpdateRate=3600
;Url=http://ws.geonames.org/timezone?lat=#CurrentCodeLat#&lng=#CurrentCodeLon#
Url=http://ws.geonames.org/timezone?lat=#CurrentCodeLat#&lng=#CurrentCodeLon#&username=XXXXXXXX
RegExp=<gmtOffset>(.*)</gmtOffset>
StringIndex=1

Have you tried reloading the skins?

Try going to the URL below in your web browser (replace the username string), what response do you receive from geonames?
http://ws.geonames.org/timezone?lat=55.7496&lng=37.6237&username=YOUR_USERNAME_HERE

It should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<geonames>
<timezone tzversion="tzdata2014c">
<countryCode>RU</countryCode>
<countryName>Russia</countryName>
<lat>55.7496</lat>
<lng>37.6237</lng>
<timezoneId>Europe/Moscow</timezoneId>
<dstOffset>4.0</dstOffset>
<gmtOffset>4.0</gmtOffset>
<rawOffset>4.0</rawOffset>
<time>2014-06-30 14:26</time>
<sunrise>2014-06-30 04:48</sunrise>
<sunset>2014-06-30 22:17</sunset>
</timezone>
</geonames>

I am getting the same.

[justrajdeep]

i have refreshed the skin, exited rainmeter and started it.

[jwhayman]

Are you editing the world.inc file in the sidebar directory or the taskbar directory? I'm using Enigma 4 patch 1

[justrajdeep]

Hi
I am editing the World.inc file in the 'Sidebar\World' directory
I am using Enigma 4 Patch 1. Just downloaded when u posted the solution

[Geekbat]

The geonames solution worked! Thanks!

[justrajdeep]

sadly for me it does not :(

@justrajdeep You need to activate your account for web services after you registerd and confirmed your e-mail address.

[jwhayman]

Actually, you can ignore my workaround 1acb9e4 addresses this issue. You just need to use the code on Github, rather than the code available from the offficial site.

[maaudet-ca]

Indeed it works! And for DST as well. Thanks!

[chieber]

Thanks for the skin. I have updated the code for the world clocks works.
Only issue for me is that DST time is showing an hour off.. I checked the code and I copied it correctly.

What else can I do to fix the DST?

[BillyRazzor]
