[Plugin: Runners Log] Weather integration

Good morning!

Im a little hurry…

Just a minor one – but I think the field lenght for the WOEID should be a little longer. As it is now it cuts the last chars for my city, Odense,

556053

I will test it more later today..

Just another thougt – we might want to have a [runners_log_weather] tag as well.

Right, some visualisation would be good ??
I’ll be on this right now.

Problem with the number is that I currently can’t change the size of the input box since it doesn’t take the size settings I specified. Will have a look at CSS for this later. ??

Try to change this in runnerslog_weather_settings.php

echo '<input name="runnerslog_woeid" type="text" id="runnerslog_woeid" value="'.$woeid.'" class="small-text" />';

to this

echo '<input name="runnerslog_woeid" type="text" id="runnerslog_woeid" value="'.$woeid.'" class="small-text" size="7" maxlength="8" />';

ok, corrected ??

I hav added a wa for visualisation. In a post you can enter

[runners_log_weather]

to show all weather data. The shown data depends on which values are selected in the admin area and which are available in the postmeta DB.

It should be possible to add it directly to templates similiar to the runners_log_basic stats, but I’ll have a look at thkis later.

Suggestions? ??

Cheers Eyeless

No further suggestions at the moment…

The only thing was image support. I remember you said something about it could show an image also but that aint important for me.

Great job!! ??

I will test it later…

The only thing was image support. I remember you said (…)

Right, I can retrieve an image, but I would add this later, at the moment I would try to get the geartable working. In my opinion we should get the gear working and release a development version (with an odd version number) to
1) provide current users the possibility to give feedback to you/us
2) have clear goals to reach
For the next stable version I would get all the fancy and shiny things working ??

What do you think?

Well, I understand the idea – but will there be any feedback – how many plugin have you installed? and how many times have you given feedback?

This plugin is downloaded 1000times and there is 6 votes (I like them all cause they are rating the plugin good ?? ) but it’s 1 vote per nearly 200 downloads…

I found a issue – but Im not sure if there something to do with it?

The weather data is always the weather at the moment.

If I update a old post related to a running course the weather is set to todays weather and not the weather the post was created…

Is there someway to match it with the PostDate?

I will have a look at this at the evening!

Cool…

I will be on IRC from tomorrow.

I just have a week in a summer cottage without internet but now Im back ??

Any progress?

No hurry, Im just curious! ??

Hey,

I checked the problem. It happens since everytime a metabox is opened (independent whether you create a new blogpost or edit an old one) current data is queried from Yahoo.
The solution would be a check whether a post is new or just an old one whne a meta box is opened. Should be quite easy to resolve and I think I can do it this weekend.
It unfortunately took some time for me to figure it out since there has been some trouble here which had to get solved in first place ??

Hi,

ook , I am finally back and tried some time to get a workaround for this issue but then I recognized that it doesn’t happen at my server. If I edit an old post and change some things like distance etc. It does not set the weather condition to the current ones. May you give it another try or did I get your issue wrong?

Cheers Eyeless

Im back too…

I will do a new test one of the next days – I have been busy the last weeks – I will start at a new job in start of october – I hope to get more time then!

no problem, me too, take your time ??
