    Access Forcast XML

    Before I ask my question, I want to thank you for writing such an amazing script and for all the time spent maintaining it.

    Now, this may be a dumb question: I am writting a weather Rainmeter skin and to pull 5 day forecast data from weatherXML, I know I can access the following URL to get forecast data: http://hs3ipaddress/weatherXML
    But is it possible to get access to the XML file for forcasts directly? Specifically the WUForecast1.xml file found in the Data folder of HS3?

    You can't access the folders above the html file via a http request.
    However, on the Database tab, there is a section titled "XML file second location". Left blank the xml file is only saved in the Data\weatherXML directory.
    If you fill in a directory name, (example: myDirectory) then the xml file is saved in 2 locations. The Data\weatherXML and Html\myDirectory\xmlfilename.xml.

      Thanks for the quick reply!

      I can't believe I overlooked that! Anyways, I made a the folder "weather" in the "html" folder and followed the setup as you instructed but I have done a few manual updates to the schedules but nothing is showing up in the folder. Am I doing something wrong?

        Check your logs to see if you are getting an error.

          I went to settings and set "Logging Level" to "Errors" and then went to schedules and the devices updated but still no XML file.

            I also set "Logging Level" to "Debug" and don't see anything referenced to the \weather\ folder or any other .xml file besides the XML file that was downloaded form WeatherUnderground

              I disabled and then enabled the plugin and it works now. Thank you for your help and the plugin!

                While I was looking through the code I did find an issue. If you are using multiple locations, you had to use the same folder name in each location. Since I was in that code section, I went ahead and fixed the code so you can enter a separate directory for each location. This will be in version .94.
