Hello all!
I’m hoping to be helped by either resident Tag Div support or forum contributor that has already found a work around.
Here’s my problem:
The newspaper weather module pulls data from “http://openweathermap.org/find” according to “City”,”Country”
Unfortunately for my city… there is more prominent city in USA with the same name. I used our zip code for some time and it seemed to work fine but now openweather.org is yielding a country on the other side of the globe.
I really like how the weather appears in top header bar and like the widget as well. Is there a way I can hardcode the cityid for my city given by openweather?
Do I have any options? Openweather has my city… I just can’t access it via the City, Country query.
thanks in advance for any help with this matter!

Hi Catalin,
My location is Dayton, Tennessee, USA
What should I put and where should I put it to get the correct readout?
thanks in advance for any help,

Hello elmer.harris,

Catalin,
Thanks for your help. It looks like spelling out “Dayton, Tennessee, USA” is the way to go. I believe I was abbreviating the state which causing the issue.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Elmer
