Meteotemplate - new free website template

Hi…just installed the plugin,added a link in the menu and,of course getting a blank page…looked in the wiki and no clue for a proper way to install it…so GUESSED IT

:wink:

Carl there is nothing in the wiki because there is a general guide as to how to install a plugin and this one is no way different. Basically you unzip the folder, upload it to plugins folder and you are done :smiley:

A new plug in is now available, which shows current weather around the world on an interactive map and in a sortable table.

Features:

  • displays weather conditions for various cities in the world
  • possibility to choose parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, apparent temperature, dewpoint, wind speed, visibility)
  • values also provided in a table (clicking on rows shows location on the map with an infobox and detailed data)
  • data in table can be sorted
  • weather conditions shown as icons, also reflecting day/night
  • points on map colored based on values
  • conditions cached for faster loading (10 minutes)
  • units reflect global Meteotemplate settings
  • easy customization

Hi
it works and looks good!
strange problem with scrolling to the bottom of the web page though?

Hi Brian, what exactly do you mean? I dont have any problems with scrolling? There is the map and table below that. I tried Chrome and FF and I am not sure what you are talking about.

Btw. “it works” - you meant you checked meteotemplate.com or did you manage to get it working on your web?

Hi
I was just viewing your demo of the stations around the world
my internet is often slow and spotty here currently and so was probably that the web page had now completed loading
(the problem was when I went to scroll to the bottom it would jump to the top, sort of thing)

I don’t have a scrolling problem with IE and Chrome. I do find the sort order of the cities (highest pop?) is a bit confusing.

The sort is kind of random, because clicking on the column headers sorts them by whatever you want - name, parameters etc.

I see that works, maybe add a heading for the city column, it didn’t occur to me there was anything to click on.

Oops…thanks for mentioning that, of course there should have been that sorting arrow icon just like in the other columns, I just missed that…

Btw. Niko, I worked on the gauges yesterday, I posted a first screenshot in the other thread. When I came back home today I continued working on it and I added the actual value fields and now I finally managed to get the Ajax calls working so I think we are on the right track and I will have more info during the weekend. Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know. I will go to bed soon as it is almost 4AM, but I will continue with it tomorrow, I only have to go to work in the afternoon and evening is free :slight_smile:

Hi, Jachym

Working great as Always right out of the box!

Still having a little difficulties with the menu-tree, but i will surely overcome that in a matter of time. Would you please consider a script for my wxsim-forecasts? I’ ve already tried to incorporate it with the help of the “blank” template, but there are to much files to consider. And something for air-pollution would be great too!

Your biggest tallest fan!

Marc,

Hi Marc,

sometimes I think telepathy does exist as I got an email 30mins ago from another person asking for a plugin for WXSim :smiley:

What problem exactly do you have with the menu? Btw., I just tried the link to your website here on the forum and its not working.

Hi,

It should be working now, the link was outdated. I can’t get the new items in the right place, should be something simple, but i don’t see it!

Marc,

A new plugin is now available called “Eclipses”.

Features:

  • view information about solar and lunar eclipses using interactive sortable and filterable tables
  • calculate solar and lunar eclipse dates and view detailed info
  • information about solar and lunar eclipses in general, including some interesting facts
  • detailed statistics

Installation:

  • no need to set up anything, just follow the standard procedure for installing updates described in the wiki

This is just to let you know I have just released an update of Meteotemplate to version 1.2. This update includes several important bug fixes, little design tweaks, security fixes and the banner now uses different data source, which not only does not require API key, but based on testing of several users, provides much more accurate results. Also the settings dialog box no longer flashes on each page upon loading.

Also, the template is now available in new languages!

Detailed instructions as to how to update and also list of all changes available in the blog:

Demo available at meteotemplate.com has also been updated.

Hi

I’ve updated to version 1.2, and I must say it has clearly improved.

  [http://kocher.es/meteotemplate/index.php](http://kocher.es/meteotemplate/index.php)

Thank you for the work you do! :smiley:

looking real good :slight_smile:
graphs are working now for me (did not seem to before…could not see the line…but the values showed on mouse over…thought it was just me), when visiting kocher web site :slight_smile:

Well thats great to hear and to be quite honest Im surprised that you think it improved…

because even though there is a lot of changes in this update, most of them are changes not really visible to the end user:

  • banner uses different data source (more accurate)
  • all pages secured against SQL injections and other security threats
  • settings div no longer flashing upon loading of each site
    etc.
    but as I said, those are important things, but not really attractive for you as a user :smiley:

Not to be pessimist but…using this http://kocher.es/meteotemplate/index.php

  • it do not fit even on my normal laptop screen, page are too wide
  • it have almost 200 W3 validation errors
