In reply to: [Snow Report] output errors@aoklandskiclub, I haven’t heard from the developer of this plugin. Further, as above, the folks at OnTheSnow.com told me “the RSS feed is now locked” (whatever that means) and advised me to use the other approach: http://www.onthesnow.com/widget. When I experimented with this, I got errors (too many to make it acceptable to use). I wrote OnTheSnow.com for guidance.
Personally, I am now looking at the other services, seeing if I can hack this plugin to talk to the MyWeather2 or WorldWeatherOnline. That’ll be a bit of a long slog, but it’s worth a try since I’ve got people depending on this plugin.

In reply to: [Snow Report] output errorsReceived advice from OnTheSnow.com that their RSS feed is no longer operating, and to use their “widget” accessory. See:
http://www.onthesnow.com/widget
Also investigating several other sources of ski condition information such as:
http://www.worldweatheronline.com/free-ski-weather-api.aspx
http://www.myweather2.com/developer/apis.aspx?uref=f8add9ec-fe95-4001-b822-df8680e49dce
I’d love to hear the developer’s thoughts on these…..

In reply to: [Snow Report] output errorsI did a bit more investigation on this, reading the plug-in code, and this error is generated when the request to onthesnow.com fails. The XML is the RSS-formatted data file returned, and if nothing is returned instead, this error happens. The error ends with “file at and” because the variables $url and $url2 are undefined within this PHP function (so, we can’t see the URL the plug-in tried to reach when it got the error).
The implication of this is possibly that onthesnow.com is no longer offering their RSS feature. Can that be true?
