WP SimpleWeather Plugin

WP SimpleWeather allows you to quickly and easily display the current weather at any location you enter using the Yahoo! Weather API.

I have also posted a related blog post about the WP SimpleWeather Plugin.

Description

WP SimpleWeather is exactly what you’d expect from the name. A SIMPLE way to display weather via a wordpress plugin. It is easily installed, widgetized, with an expansive yet easy to use settings page.

The plugin currently has a number of options available on the settings page. I plan to add a variety of themes you can choose from for the widget, as well as a text box to easily edit a css file on the fly.

The WP SimpleWeather Plugin was adapted from the simpleWeather jQuery plugin by James Fleeting.

Installation

1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to the ‘Plugins’ page in the menu and activate the plugin.
3. Use the WP SimpleWeather Settings page located under the ‘Settings’ menu to change your plugin options.
4. Activate the WP SimpleWeather Widget under the ‘Appearance –> Widgets’ menu, or by adding the wp-simpleweather shortcode where you wish to display the weather widget.

Shortcode Options

[ wp-simpleweather width="(integer)" float="(left/right/none)" paddingtop="(integer)" paddingright="(integer) paddingbottom="(integer)" paddingleft="(integer)"]

Example

[ wp-simpleweather width="200" float="left" paddingtop="10" paddingright="10" paddingbottom="10" paddingleft="0"]
