I am using the warningsCA block. As you can see in the attachment there is currently a warning in my area. The block shows just a generic warning without details.

In the second attachment I show the detailed warning from Environment Canada.

Is it possible to show the detailed warning in the block?

Thanks,

Hugh

Hi Hugh,
not sure where your screen comes from, the block uses the XML feed of EC

https://weather.gc.ca/rss/warning/on-118_e.xml

Im afraid the details are not there

If you had clicked on the part you have highlighted in red, it should have displayed a screen with the rest of the warning as you showed in your second post.

But what I was saying is that if you look at the XML data source:

https://weather.gc.ca/rss/warning/on-118_e.xml

it does not give all these details, thats the issue.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but I've been waiting for a current warning for my area

Jachym, I understand that the xml feed from EC doesn't contain the details of any warning but it does contain a link to the page that does. see line 24 of the attached file from the cache directory.

My question, is it possible to have a link in the warning block which would open this in another window something like the "More" button in many other blocks?

Since I can't add a txt file as an attachment I'll just paste it here:
