I am using a weather rss feed with magpie that contains data like this in the description field:

Variable cloudiness, High 16 °C, Low 9 °C

Would it be possible to have an if/else statement based on some of the data in the {description} field of magpie?

Example of what I am trying to achieve:

if {description} contains “Variable cloudiness”  then show: icon_cloudy.gif

thanks

There isn’t a check for “contains” in our conditional system, though that’s a great feature request.  However - it is certainly possible to do this with PHP, so hopefully one of our PHP gurus will stop by and help out.

There also used to be a weather plugin floating around - it may even be in our add-on library, I’m not sure - which might help out with this.

thanks,

it’s probably easy php code, I’ve just never worked with a “something contains” code before
