WRONG API KEY, Check Openweathermap API KEY through site:

GFCOM84

Hello,
I've just purchased the JA Joomla Extensions and installed JA Weather Module (it will replace an existing weather module but not compatible with J4 on my website)
However, I have at least 2 issues with this module :

The module display an error message : WRONG API KEY, Check Openweathermap API KEY through site: https://openweathermap.org/api
I am currently using another module which use Openweathermap succesfully with the API KEY. I've tried to create a new API KEY but the error message persists.
The "Language" option in the module configuration does not properly save : it always show "English"

I saw that there is an already existing post about the first issue, but without fix 🙁

I'm using Joomla3 + PHP 8.1.27

Thanks for your help.

Regards

P.S : the module is unpublished as this is on a production website

GFCOM84 Hi

Could you try to generate a new API key and see how it goes?

GFCOM84

saguaros Hi,
I've already generated a new API key before submitting the ticket 🙁

I've just done those steps :

Disable the existing Weather module (NOT JA Weather Module)
Generate a new API key
Set the new API key in JA Weather Module
Publish the JA Weather Module

Result : Wrong API key message

Could you please try the option Get data by Geographic Coordinates instead of City Name?

I will share with our dev team on this as well.

Hi,
The message is still there with Geographic Coordinates 🙁

Howere, here is a positive point : I was able to change the Language field (French instead of English)

Edit : I will migrate the website today from J3 to J4, as I can't wait more. Maybe this will fix the issue ?
I will take a backup with akeeba before the migration, jsut in case for further investigation if needed 😉

You can upgrade to J4 and see how it goes.

Hello,

I've upgraded to J4 and nothing changed 🙁

It seems that OpenWeathermap API oneCall doesn't support 2.5 version now, it uses 3.0 which requires fee.

Could you switch to use Weatherbit instead? https://www.weatherbit.io/pricing

GFCOM84

saguaros

Done.
Nothing changed yet, but I will wait as the Weatherbit API may take 30min to work.

Still no changes, the API key is working (as mentionned in my Weatherbit dashboard) but the message persists :

WRONG API KEY, Check Weatherbit API KEY through site: https://www.weatherbit.io/pricing

GFCOM84 Let me check with our developer and will keep you posted.

saguaros

Our dev updated this file: modules\mod_ja_weather\helper.php and add his own API into your site.

As you can see that the error is gone now.

You can create a new API and check again (if possible, you can purchase the commercial one)

GFCOM84

saguaros Thank you !

saguaros

You're welcome 😉

GFCOM84

Hello,
I've made some changes to modules\mod_ja_weather\helper.php to make it compatibke with the free version of OpenWeatherMap : https://openweathermap.org/current (only today weather)

If you wish, you can also make it available for the 5 days forecast : https://openweathermap.org/forecast5
