I had an issue with the openbox menu when I installed the OB version. (Basically it would not generate) So I scrapped the menu and created a new one, no problem. However, I am not super skilled at pipe menus. Is there somewhere where I can pulled the menu code (maybe a git repo or something) to get the code for the weather pipe menu.
I like having the weather easily accessible, but I do not need it on the conky. The pipe menu is great for me.
Thanks!
What comes to mind to me when I hear openbox, pipe menu and / or conky is #!. Tonnes of posts, some quite good at the archived Crunchbang linux forums and at https://www.bunsenlabs.org/ (but they seem to be down). Also a dedicated section to conky at vsido.
Are you using the portion of suckless-tools called dmenu for your pipe menu?
Not a pipe menu but for moi, via .conkyrc
Winnipeg ${execi 300 ~/bin/weather.sh "NAM|CA|MB|WINNIPEG"}
and in ~/bin
#!/bin/sh
#AccuWeather (r) RSS weather tool for conky
#
#USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>

METRIC=1 #Should be 0 or 1; 0 for F, 1 for C
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo
echo "USAGE: weather.sh <locationcode>"
echo
exit 0;
fi
curl -s http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}\&locCode\=$1 | perl -ne 'if (/Currently/) {chomp;/\<title\>Currently: (.*)?\<\/title\>/; print "$1"; }'
old as dirt and I did not write it.
edited later I see the post below. In case others are searching here - it is o.k. to post the source you used from the the Arch forum.
Found my answer on the ARCH forum. Thanks anyway!!

We have Wiki pages with some answers too:

Thanks for the reply. I did see that, but it was not just the location. I wound up having an issue with the entire menu and I needed the code for the pipe-menu and the weather script. It is those I found on the ARCH forum.
But thanks again for the response/
