Thanks

i like the options of the airport codes but prefer to dial the *61 weather.agi script as it is a little quicker.

The problem with the weather.agi script is it seems noaa has chaged the locations of the data files. i found the files here:

ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/zone/

i redirect the script to location and it works, but the .txt file has a break in the line, creating two lines of text to read back. festive only reads the first line and moves on to next forecast.

Can this be fixed to read two lines in festival?

Im using trixbox v2.0

As of Monday, January 22, 2007 service has been migrated to the Replacement NWSTG. You should use only tgftp.nws.noaa.gov for anonymous FTP service. weather.noaa.gov will support only HTTP service from this time forward.”

All the state data folders are empty on the new ftp site are empty. Anyone have ideas where or how to get weather forcasts back?

[WM: The current versions of our Asterisk Weather applications (airport code and zip code) use HTTP requests to NOAA. What version are you running? Try downloading the current versions.]

I want to compile it on Freebsd. I have the flite library installed.

[WM: I don’t know the answer, but you might contact Francois Aucamp, who did the fantastic job rewriting this module for everyone originally. Be sure to tell him what you’re trying to do. He perhaps can save you tons of wasted energy. Take a look at our original article on Flite first.]

I do have a question though, using the instructions from here to set up an IVR, how could i get it to transfer to this improved weather script instead of the other one?

I tried doing:
[custom-weather]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,AGI(nv-weather.php)
exten => s,3,Hangup

but the phone just hangs up when I push the extension. Thanks in advance.

Great Stuff! Wish I had half the time you seem to have to hack around.

How could I use 611 in one of my IVR menus?

[WM: Look in the IVR drop-downs and you’ll see all of your Misc Destinations including the weather at 611.]

I’m running 1.1 of Trixbox. I followed your steps exactly (I think) but when I dial 611 from a connected-phone, I get the lovely “BEEP BEEP BEEP…the person you are calling is unavailable…”. Can you suggest what I have to do to correct this?…Thanks in advance…

This would allow for much more localized weather for those not close to an airport. Also, people don’t always know their airport code, they always know their zip code.

Great APP! Thanks!

[WM: Zip code version is on the drawing board. Hope to have it out in a week or two.]

Changed the database citta name to Saint Louis and it worked. Not sure if this affects all other abbreviations or not.

PHPMyAdmin is still there, but it is hiding.

It is there if you’ve upgraded to FreePBX from an older version of AMP, but I don’t think it is there at all in AAH 2.8.

I have been trying out your cherms in a hope we shall get broadband one day in Uganda. I need some help with mysql and flite I actually though this post would be of use but It does not do what I exactly want. I need to get records from mysql and pass them to Flite and the caller can hear after dialing a given extension and password. Mysql could have records for example studyno=6672-8921 Age=200 Sex=Female SeroStatus=Negative Name=Wasubire and I want Flite to say something like “your study number is 6672-8921, Age is 200, Sex is female, Sero Status is negative and name is wasubire. This will be great because I need to do some magic on my way to GURUHOOD…

[WM: Thanks, Wasubire. Look in the php code of the latest weather application. It actually does lookups from MySQL and passes airport code information back to Asterisk for Flite to speak. It’ll give you all you need to get started.]

Or this that part of your Newbie?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Guide to TrixBox, Part XX….? It looks as though many of the new “Features” might change how we use some of the old custom changes.

[WM: There will have to be some changes with the new freePBX architecture, but we’ll get to them … in between vacations and unpacking boxes. So hang in there.]
