Recently we noticed that Yahoo Weather feed was taken down, or was it? It killed many of the iWidgets that used Yahoo weather, This ended up to be a lot of widgets, mainly because the widget script is copy and pasted to many different widgets.
The answer to fix these were to re-write the widgets. If you are not a coder the fix I post below is changed easily by anyone.

As of 4/12/16 this fix no longer works.
You can read my post here. Reddit post
I’ve noticed that if you change the old feed url, you could in fact still get Yahoo weather. Meaning you will only have to change 1 or 2 lines to fix these widgets.
I will explain the fix below, but first want to take a second to say these scripts are horrible. My advice it to use another method of getting weather.
IS2 (InfoStats2) is coming soon, and will allow you to grab weather from the Weather App. IS2 is the absolute way to go if you want to have the best weather. It will match all tweaks, the weather.app, and it will allow you to do many other great things.

Once it is released I will do a tutorial series on how to use it, so don’t worry if it looks confusing now. I promise it is very efficient and easy to grasp.
Create your own. Parsing XML is pretty easy, if you are coding widgets I would highly recommend creating your own weather scripts. I have created one here, and it’s been running fine for years. http://junesiphone.com/libraries
WidgetWeather. Widget weather pulls weather from the weather.app, much like InfoStats2 will/does. The only difference is WW will grab the weather, store it in and xml, then you still have to parse that XML. IS2 will be direct from the weather to your code.
Now enough rambling and to the fix. To fix any yahoo weather scripts you will need to look to where the weather is. Most of these widgets have it in the main.js , inside the main.js you have the url, most of the time it looks like this.
var url = “http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=”+postal+”&u=f”;
You will need to change this url to var url = “http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?w=”+postal+”&u=f”;
That’s it, weather should work again.
Steps.
- Find main.js or where the weather is.
- Look for any and all yahoo urls and change http://weather.yahooapis.com to http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/
- Save and check if it works:)
I will say again, don’t rely on this weather script. It goes down, and it’s 2016 we should be coding better.
Thanks to those who brought this to my attention, and the ones who sent me broken yahoo widgets.

See allFor those who are looking up for an enhanced desktop experience and haven’t found it yet, Yahoo presents the “Yahoo Widget Engine”. This is a platform application that you need to have installed and running on your computer if you want to access and use the thousands of widgets available on the Yahoo Widget web site.
So what is a Widget you might be wondering right now. A widget is an accessory application that performs a very specific task and is managed by the Widget Engine. Usually this widgets are docked on a side bar provided by the engine and from there you can see brief information about things you’re interested in or get quick access to applications or web sites. In addition, a widget can be undocked from the side bar so it “floats around” your desktop. In general terms when a widget is undocked provides better visualization and control.
As mentioned in the beginning of this review, the first thing you have to do is to download and install Yahoo Widget Engine. You will see that the basic installation file already includes a set of very popular and useful widgets for you to get started. Let’s know a little bit about them:
• Analog clock: on top of the side bar by default, you will see an analog clock showing the current time and date. You can select some preferences like: show/hide date, show/hide second hand, chime, colors and some windows preferences as well.
• Battery monitor: useful for notebooks users, monitors and shows the battery level at all times.
• Day Planner: plug-in to use either with Yahoo! Calendar or Outlook as a personal agenda.
• Digital clock: digital version of analog clock.
• iTunes Remote: remote access to play music on iTunes. Requires iTunes to be installed on your PC.
• Picture Frame: to display pictures from one of the following sources: flickr, Yahoo! Photos and My Computer.
• Yahoo! Finance: to keep track of the markets.
• Yahoo! Mail checker: to remotely check you yahoo e-mail account.
