Weather

weather.com offers a XOAP (you need to register for this) weather service with local weather information. These feeds can be displayed using the portal to always know about the current weather situation in your place.

Details

The weather module displays the current weather situation at the configured location. You see a big icon on top and some details at the left. The forecast for a configureable amount of days is shown below.

If you want to see the weather at different locations, for example at the place where you plan to have your next holidays, you may of course add multiple weather modules.

Requirements

Configuration

A sample configuration may look like:

<module type="weather" id="weather" name="Wetter"> <partner>partner_id</partner> <key>your_key</key> <unit>m</unit> <!-- Dortmund / Germany --> <location>GMXX0024</location> <forecast>4</forecast> </module>

You may obtain the partner id and the key from weather.com for their XOAP service. They are free, but you need to fulfill some constraints when it comes to caching etc.

The unit element defines the unit of the displayed values - even if nobody should want to use anything but the metric system ;). The location defines the location you want the weather to be displayed for. You may find the required string by searching for your town on weather.com.
