Weather (*61)

Thanks alot. It would have taken me a while to find that....

You might want to check the nerdvittles site:
http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=136
It describes how to install the Flite speech synthesis engine which improves the speech quality and also describes a method of installing a database of all US airports.

:oops:UPDATE:oops:
The Flite system is already pre-installed on Trixbox but check out the article anyway!

It's already there for you in TrixBox. Just dial 611 on your wonderphone. And now you can expand it to support 1,000 airport codes in the U.S. Here's the link.

You'll have to check around on the web for a local weather website and see if there is any info on there for pulling the weather as a text document. Once you get it as a text document consistently, you should be able to modify the AGI script to work with that info instead of the NOAA info.

Undrhil

The /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/weather.agi on the latest Trixbox does not work, the FTP URL is no longer available. Here is a working scripts as of 3Mar2007. To check availability ftp to tgftp.nws.noaa.gov and navigate to /data/forecasts/city directory there you will find the States and cities available.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Asterisk::AGI;
use Net::FTP;

my $AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;
my $server = "tgftp.nws.noaa.gov";
my $basepath = "/data/forecasts/city/in";
my $filename = "indianapolis.txt";

my @lines;

$AGI->exec('AGI',"festival-weather-script.pl|\"The latest weather forecast for Indianapolis. Press 1 to skip ahead.\"");

$ftp = Net::FTP->new($server, Debug => 0)
or die "Cannot connect to $server: $@";

$ftp->login("anonymous","thisoldman.com")
or die "Cannot login with anonymous/a\@b.com", $ftp->message;

$ftp->cwd("$basepath")

$ftp->binary;

$ftp->get($filename,"/tmp/$filename.$$") || die "Error while downloading /tmp/$filename.$$!!!\n", $ftp->message;

open(INPUT," while() {
if(grep(/^\./,$_)) {
chomp($_);
$_ =~ s/^\.//;
push(@lines,$_);
print "$_\n";
}
}

for($i = 0; $i $AGI->exec('AGI',"festival-weather-script.pl|\"$lines[$i]\"");
}

$AGI->exec('AGI',"festival-weather-script.pl|\"That concludes the extended weather forcast.\"");
$AGI->exec('AGI',"festival-weather-script.pl|\"Thank you for calling Concerto Networks.\"");

Weather by Zip Module v 1.1.5 Maintenance Release
Weather by Zip Module v 1.1.5 Released. Get it from the Devlopment Support Site here: http://projects.colsolgrp.net/projects/list_files/weatherzip

This is an optional maintenance release.
There are three changes in this maintenance release.

1. Ticket #118 Zip Codes Load fails on slow machines.
The initial installation of the zip code database could sometimes fail on some machines. This has been corrected - as the entire Zip Code DB should now load faster.

2. Ticket #148 Not using the proper database password
The module did use a hard coded database login/password instead of the one looked up from the file. This completes a previous patch that was supposed to have corrected this already.

3. Ticket #156 Create TTS folder where it does not exist
During module installation create TTS folder where it does not exist, and set with appropriate permissions. (such as trixbox, and elastix)

As always - let us know how this version works for you!
