Hi,

Something went wrong on the latest commit, some files didn’t get updated and uploaded. We’re investigating the issue right now and there should be an update in a few hours.

Thanks.

Sorry, the file you have to edit is index.php, located inside alfie-wp-weather directory. But, still, there MUST be a shortcode.php file in the same directory.

Hi,

Please open shortcode.php in a text editor and change line 61 to

include 'shortcode.php';

Let us now if the error dissapears.

Hi there,

Have you managed to replace the Google Weather widgets?

The latest update allows you to insert the weather info also through a shortcode. You should be able now to replace the old Google Weather plugin with Alfie WP Weather by using the widget or the shortcode.

For example: -> Here, on the right sidebar you can see the following shortcode:

[wp_google_weather city=”Piedmont, AL” temperature=”f” language=”en” forecast=”1″]

Replace it with [alfie_wp_weather woeid=”2471577″ units=”f”]

A fast way to obtain the WOEID code for each city is to drop an Alfie WP Widget into a sidebar in your admin zone and use it as a search engine.

Hope you can get it done. Marking this as resolved.

Hi there,

Alfie is using common WordPress functions in order to make its content translatable. It will look inside /lang folder for any translation file available and apply that translation according to the locale variable defined by the plugin used for translation. So, for both qTranslate and WPML, Alfie WP Weather will always show the translation, if available, based on the language selected by the user.

In order to make the content available for translation in a language not shipped with the plugin, you should open default.po with Poedit and save it with the right name ( i.e. for german you should save the file as alfie_wp_weather-de_DE.po ), make the necessary translations and hit save. When you do this, in the /lang directory will appear a file named alfie_wp_weather-de_DE.mo. That’s your german translation. So, following these steps should give you a localized version of the plugin.

Important: Make sure that in Poedit/Catalog/Properties/Language when editing alfie_wp_weather-de_DE.po you change the default en_US to de_DE and so on, according to the language you’re translating to.

Hi,

Right, there should be an update including a fix for this issue in a few hours.

Hi,

Alfie WP Weather is only available in English, Spanish and Romanian. A .po file is provided inside /lang folder for the users who want to add their own translations. You can use Poedit for this, is free and does a very good job.

Depending on the logic used for displaying the current weather widgets, you have to replace each reference with the Alfie WP Weather widget. For more info, you can check this documentation:

Please let us know if we can be of further help.

A. Sure
B. Yes
C. Alfie WP Weather comes with a built-in location search, so its usage is pretty straight forward, just click on “Click to search location” blue button, start typing and you’re good to go.

If you encounter any issues, we’ll be happy to help.
