Displaying only one set of details 1st day of Weather (5day)

Edit: I was unable to get this to work but Blue figured it out. See post 14 for details.

======ORIGINAL POST=========
I've been looking through variables and for some reason I can't figure out how to do this. I want to only display one set of images in my weather (5 day) skin. This works fine for days 1-4 but for todays weather I need to have it check first if data is available and if not display the night image. I thought I could do this by reading w_0day_hi and if it's value is "N/A" then display w0nighticon. Any help?

i always thought this should be something added into RR. There's no reason to display 2 sets of labels/icons after 4pm. It would actually be simple to add via plugin but who knows maybe one of the RR skin wizards can whip something up with stock RR commands. I cant wait to see how that skin turns out for you

You can try something like this:

Indicator code:
"$DISPICON$"

On the weather button (that loads the screen) add this:

Code:

"<originalcommand>||SETVARBYCODE;DAYHI;w_0day_hi||EVAL;ISNA;strcomp("N/A";"$DAYHI$")||BYVAR;ISNA;SETVAR;DISPICON;WICON<<SETVAR;DISPICON;w0nighticon"

At some point, some on the basic builtin functions will be removed from the source and made into plugins. Making the RR exe the skinning engine only as Guino has wished he'd started with this line of thinking...

That worked great Guino. Thanks a lot.

Note: I updated the title and added final code to post 1. I'm unsure if this will be needed once weather is taken out of the core code and used in a plug-in.

To slightly simplify your ind part of the code, just set the "Today" ind to "wicon", that shows the corresponding day/night icon depending on what time it is..

I originally had that in but if the current status was different than the day or night status (say it's currently cloudy but tonights forecast says t-storms) it wouldn't give the correct details.

So what you wanted was only the day OR night icon not the current. What your looking for would be like a "wdaynighticon" that would act like the posted ind code.

[ Edit ]

Like this right?

"wdaynighticon" - Shows either the day or night weather icon, if day info not availible (>~4PM) then shows the night icon
