Customizable Weather Plasmoid (CWP) 1.11.0
(Plasmoid Binary)
For >=KDE-4.2
This is another weather plasmoid.
It aims to be highly customizable, but a little harder to setup than other weather plasmoids.
Nearly any weather forecast provider can be used, as long as the data is provided as html files (no flash).
The information how to extract the information from these html files is stored inside xml files.
Commands like grep, head, tail, sed, awk, ... will do this job.
For now, xml files for the weather providers
www.weather.com (°F) (city identifier example: USDC0001)
br.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: BRXX0043)
de.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: 80331 or UKXX0085)
espanol.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: Ciudad-de-Mexico-MXDF0132)
fr.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: Paris-FRXX0076)
in.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: New-Delhi-INXX0096)
uk.weather.com (°C) (city identifier example: London-UKXX0085)
wetter.com (°C) (city identifier example: DE0006515)
myforecast.com (°C) (city identifier example: 12844)
myforecast.com (°F) (city identifier example: 12844)
www.weather.com.cn (°C) (city identifier example: 101010100)
accuweather.com US (°C) (city identifier example: 85001)
accuweather.com US (°F) (city identifier example: 85001)
accuweather.com world (°C) (city identifier example: AFR|ZA|SF004|JOHANNESBURG)
accuweather.com world (°F) (city identifier example: AFR|ZA|SF004|JOHANNESBURG)
ilmeteo.it (°C) (city identifier example: Roma)
pogodynka.pl (°C) (city identifier example: Warszawa)
www.gismeteo.com (°C) (city identifier example: 4944)
openweathermap.org (°C) (city identifier example: id=2643743 or q=London,UK)
are included, but feel free to write your own ones.
Please note, that some of the xml files might not work properly for all locations.
If they don't, try to update your definition files: either install latest cwp release or/and download latest xml definition
file package from
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/show.php?content=98925
and unpack the xml files into ~/.kde4/share/apps/cwp (the cwp application folder inside your kde directory).
To access extended information about current weather condition, left-click inside the current weather description!
The time, when the provider updated his weather information is shown italic when clicked on update time.
CWP saves current weather data on exit inside $HOME/./share/apps/cwp folder, so after crashes you might want to clean up
this directory, or completely remove it.
Parts of the source code are taken from weather plasmoid 0.4, KDE 4.2, qimageblitz, yaWP.
Thanks to the developers!
If you experience any bugs, please report them here.
Running
plasmoidviewer plasma_applet_cwp
or starting plasma from the console
might give you some debug information.
