I like to introduce here the latest version of a complete template set to be used with Weather Display and consoleWD (for RapsberryPI): the Leuven-Template. Being fully multi-language, multi unit, this template set is now used by more than 50 sites (as I am aware of) and is used in the US and Europe. From October 23 the download will also support Canada.
The template includes forecast and warnings pages for local suppliers (f.i. NOAA or EC) but also from World-wide suppliers as Met.No, the Norwegian Weather organization, sometimes referred to as YrNo (which are actually two different organizations).
The template can be very easily adapted (CSS) for colors, menu placement and background photos. It can also use a different color / background based on the current weather conditions. The start-page can be heavily customized also. A subset of the possible adaptions can be done on the fly. Please try menu choice: “Customize” in the template menu examples below.
A mobile version of the template is built-in. If the template code detects a mobile device the user is automatically redirected to the mobile version. If needed the visitor can switch back to the full version and this choice is remembered for a future visit.
If the template has to be used in a “Joomla” type environment, one can customize (via settings): if the menu, the headers and or the footers should be displayed inside the “joomla” wrapper.

Documentation and download: http://www.weerstation-leuven.be/
The documentation is in English (and Dutch).
Supported languages included in the download are: English, French, German and Dutch.
Users already translated the language files to Romanian, Finnish, Italian, Swedish and these files are available on request.

All information, downloads, demo after 2015-04-29: http://leuven-template.eu/index.php
Probably their are language errors as Dutch is my native language. So for every language (including English) there is a language file which can be changed to get rid of the errors. Or to use a better wording, if you prefer.
Please be aware that these sites can work with different weather-programs. So every few days I change the default weather-program for testing purposes.
Supported weather-programs are WD, consoleWD, Cumulus, WeatherLink, Meteohub and Meteobridge. It is also extremely simple to test/use/switch to another weather-program. All scripts are the same and all uploaded tag-files are stored in a separate folder for every weather program. So for the three sites mentioned above, there are four weather-programs uploading to the same site and the selection which weather program should be used is in the last characters of the URL. (&wp=WD or &wp=CU a.s.o.)
All comments and remarks to improve the template set and other scripts are welcome.
