I bought a small application ($16) called Weather Tool 2.1 form here with the intention of setting the application up to show local weather in my town on a portal.asp page with one line of code
%> <!-- #include file="weather/currentconditions_small.asp" --><%
What I have done is created a folder(called weather) inside my forum folder and I've added all the weather files. Yo can view the set-up by going here. I have inside one of my portal pages the follwoing code...
%> <!--#Include file="weather/weatherclass.asp"--><%
%><!-- #include file="weather/currentconditions_small.asp" --><%
With the intention of displaying the weather data from the weather file onto the portal page.
The problem is that I get errors like this...
Name redefined
/forum/weather/weatherclass.asp, line 13
Dim Timerstart
----^
Is there a way around this problem. I'm guessing its something to do with declaring variables.
Guidance is much appreciated, as always

| all this simply means is that you have already declared Timestart early in your code. Just remove one of the instances, preferably the one later down in the code. |

Sorry dayve but I still do not understand. The reason being is that if I comment out the declaring line, then the error is simply picked up on the next declaring line.
Example, if I comment out Dim Timerstart, then the next error occurs on the next Dim statement line. And if I comment that out, it goes onto the next Dim statement line. So I don't think the problem is directly with the variable Timerstart, the problem seems to be with declaring variables.

This error is quite specific to repeated declared variables. Is there any chance that any of your other includes have these variables declared already?
BTW, you might want to check this out:

Thanks for your time dayve. I had already suspected they might be declared else where but they're not, very frustrating.
As for the link you provided, I read that a long time ago, had actually forgotten about it, the original problem with using weatherroom.com was that it only covers three cities in Ireland, whereas weather.com was more specific (loaction wise). I kind of bought this application to avoid messing with code(a headache), for obvious reasons such as this topic lol
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

okay, we'll approach this the hard way then  . can you provide a text link to the source code as well as all include files being used? |

Do you have similar Dim's in any included files? Do you have any procedures with the same name as the variable you're trying to Dim?

Dayve, zipped folder is edit - removed
Doug G, no there arent any Dims elsewhere, and the following are some of the procedures in the weatherclass.asp;
Function MakeWeather(ZipCode, TypeCD)
Function GetWeatherData(ZipCode, TypeCD)
Function CacheData(ByRef xmlDoc, ByVal fileName)
None of the procedures use the same name as the variables. I have to honestly say that I don't understand why I'm having an error. This application runs 100% when its on its own, yet when I try to display it in snitz, its just not working  |

| The currentconditions file has an include for weatherclass.asp. You have it included in your portal pages also by the looks of your example. |

yup, which means the variables are being declared more than once.
BTW, looking at your source code and the example you showed, I feel this product you purchased is violating the Terms Of Agreement set out by Weather.com. I have an account with Weather.com and you need to use your own unique key and display and link the Weather.com logo (not just a text link). |

Ok, thanks for that, always helps to have a second/third pair of eyes to look at the code for such a prob

After you purchase the application, you have to register with weather.com to receive your PartnerID and LicenseKey. There is also a link back provided with the display, I wasn;t aware however about displaying the weather.com logo. I'll have to look into this.
Thank you  |

it's on Page 5 of the pdf guide they give you with the SDK.
quote:
Prominently display one of The Weather Channel/weather.com logos with the weather data. The logo must
link to http://www.weather.com with the correct “prod” and “par” query parameters.
quote:
7. Resources
The Weather XML Data Feed Software Developers Kit (SDK) includes logo and icon graphics for you to use in
your application. You must not modify the graphics in any way, except to convert them to a file format suitable for
your application.
7.1. Logos
You may use either of the images in the “logos” directory in accordance with Section 9 of this Guide and the
weather.com logo usage guide attached as Appendix A. The logos must link directly to the weather.com home page.
The logos are provided in two sizes:
- 32 x 43 PNG with transparent background
- 64 x 86 PNG with transparent background
The logo should link to:
http://www.weather.com/?prod=xoap&par=[partner_id]
they have an acceptable logo usage guide that also comes with the SDK. this was the main reason why I found another XML feed. |

Oh bugger  , thats a bit annoying as this was never mentioned when purchasing the product. I found the product attractive simply because there was no logo, and I could live with one single line for a link back to weather.com. Very misleading 
Thanks for your time Dayve
