Help about Weather ---- Shanghai, China

from Stardock Forums

Hi friends,

     I am using ObjectDock V1.90 and I can not get the weather information of Shanghai, China. I tried Beijing, China and it works. I found hots of cities can work. But Shanghai doesn't work, you know, it is the largest city in China.

    When I input "Shanghai, China", the information is Feed not available...try again later. Could anyone try this and help me solve the problem? Thanks.

Hmmm. It worked for me. Your running Object Dock Plus?

Worked here also and I just entered shanghai in the input field and from the available list that resulted from that I selected Shanghai, China. ObjectDock Plus version is the one I have.

Hi, friends,
Thank you two.
The version I am using is free version. I copied Elvee's text into the blank but it said that "please enter in a valid location". So I have to delete " (Shanghai)", and input "Shanghai, China". But it doesn't work for me again.

The code for the free version is older than the Plus version.  You can wait for it to be updated, find a close city with weather data, or buy the plus version.

What I'm surprised at is that there's no indication on ObjectDock product page that the Free version gets updated less frequently than Plus version. Is that an internal assumption that people who use Free version shouldn't expect as many updates?

In the comparison table on this page: https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/information.asp may I suggest that you add something like "More frequent updates" and put a tick under Plus. Though, as I've come to discover, "frequent" is a relative term...
