I can confirm that this solution works as long as you have first |
| 41 |
selected another source, then changed the source to the BBC one while |
| 42 |
you are not logged in to KDE4. You need the surrounding configuration |
| 43 |
information similar as follows: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
[Containments][1][Applets][15][Configuration] |
| 46 |
pressureUnit=hPa |
| 47 |
source=bbcukmet|weather|Perth, |
| 48 |
Australia|http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/92/ObservationsRSS.xml |
| 49 |
speedUnit=ms |
| 50 |
temperatureUnit=C |
| 51 |
updateInterval=30 |
| 52 |
visibilityUnit=km |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Though I do not think this should be simply typed in!? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Be aware that if you are logged in, the source is saved as the last one |
| 57 |
selected in the menu. If you close the applet, the source in the above |
| 58 |
config file is blanked, along with the other specification data. Which |
| 59 |
unless you edit the file whilst not logged into KDE4, creates a catch |
| 60 |
22. You try to select BBC in menu, then edit the file, then when you |
| 61 |
try to select the entry again in the plasmoid, it will not find the |
| 62 |
locality. So you try then by shutting the plasmoid, but the settings |
| 63 |
are gone. Therefore, use a working selection in the menu, log out of |
| 64 |
KDE, settings are saved, then edit the source line in your editor such |
| 65 |
as nano or vim. On next log in to KDE4, select BBC, and it now works. |
| 66 |
Sorry if this is a long-winded explanation. |
