Question

I’m playing with the SimpleWeather jquery plugin, on an asp.net page and its working fine.
https://github.com/monkeecreate/jquery.simpleWeather

I just have 2 questions:

1. I get the times in AM and PM, is there someone thats know how to fix it to 24H.

2. If i know the weather.code http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#codes can I then somehow us my own names for hot, hail, and so on?

   $.getJSON(
   weatherUrl,
   function (data) {
   if (data !== null && data.query.results !== null) {
   $.each(data.query.results, function (i, result) {
   if (result.constructor.toString().indexOf(“Array”) !== -1) {
   result = result[0];
   }

       var currentDate = new Date();
       var sunRise = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunrise);
       var sunSet = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunset);
   
       if (currentDate > sunRise && currentDate < sunSet) {
           var timeOfDay = 'd';
       } else {
           var timeOfDay = 'n';
       }

If u need to show 24H time with the SimpleWeather jQuery plugin, then the solution from Yuriy is not working…

But here is a working solution.

In the js script find this code.

var currentDate = new Date();
var sunRise = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunrise);
var sunSet = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunset);

if (currentDate > sunRise && currentDate < sunSet) {
    var timeOfDay = 'd';
} else {
    var timeOfDay = 'n';
}

And then changes that code to this (there is some issue with the sunset in 24H if the sunset is 20:05 then it showed the time as 20:5 i dident show the xx:0x first 0 in the MM-time, this code is fixing that issue)

                        var currentDate = new Date();
                        var sunRise = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunrise);
                        var sunSet = new Date(currentDate.toDateString() + ' ' + result.astronomy.sunset);

                        var sunRiseHour = "" + sunRise.getHours() + "";
                        var sunRiseMinute = "" + sunRise.getMinutes() + "";
                        var sunSetHour = "" + sunSet.getHours() + "";
                        var sunSetMinute = "" + sunSet.getMinutes() + "";

                        if (sunRiseHour.length == 1) {
                            sunRiseHour = "0" + sunRiseHour;
                        }
                        if (sunRiseMinute.length == 1) {
                            sunRiseMinute = "0" + sunRiseMinute;
                        }
                        if (sunSetHour.length == 1) {
                            sunSetHour = "0" + sunSetHour;
                        }
                        if (sunSetMinute.length == 1) {
                            sunSetMinute = "0" + sunSetMinute;
                        }
                        var sunRiseTime = sunRiseHour + ":" + sunRiseMinute;
                        var sunSetTime = sunSetHour + ":" + sunSetMinute;


                        if (currentDate > sunRise && currentDate < sunSet) {
                            var timeOfDay = 'd';
                        } else {
                            var timeOfDay = 'n';
                        }

Remember to use SunSetTime and SunRiseTime if showing 24H and not the AM/PM ex. SunSet and SunRise.

And it also fix the issue for the HH-time if there is an issue with the first 0 in hours also.
Happy using…
