HTC home plugin (weather for other cities?)

[timpeeler37]

I need help, I downloaded the HTC home plugin but can't find St. Louis, MO in the weather search. Is there a way to get an updated city list or am I going about this the wrong way? I've only had my Mogul for a couple of days and I'm still getting used to this Windows Mobile stuff. I upgraded from a Treo 650! Be gentle.

because ur a fellow st louisian ill help you

1. Visit AccuWeather.com - World Weather
2. Find your city and bring up its weather forecast in your browser.
3. Look at the URL and copy the location code from the end of the URL (will look something like locCode=OCN|AU|TAS|HOBART)
It should consist of 4 sections eg: OCN|AU|TAS|HOBART (Region|Country|State|City)
4. Go to the windows directory on your PPC
5. Copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to your desktop
6. Open in Notepad and insert an XML tag in to the list.
For St Louis, MO it would look like this:
Code:

      <city name="St. Louis, US" locationcode="NAM|US|MO|SAINT LOUIS"/>

7. Make sure that the tag starts with a < and ends with a />
8. Replace the file in your windows directory


ps.. if that code doesnt work try saint-louis at the end... and st. louis

Ok, on step 5 where on the desktop are you supposed to copy the file? I'm a little confused with this. I got the weather code in my "notes" and put in my information, but not sure where to go from here. I can't seem to "rename/move" to "Windows" folder. Is there any way to "Dumb" down those last few steps? Thanks (my head is about to explode from all this!)

WoW...isn't there a specific HTC Accuweather site for the locations? I thought I remembered reading that on this forum or on pdaphonehome...

EDIT: found the thread:
