Cool plugin!
Feature request:
1.remove "Display" button and select city directly from list on doubleClick.
2.create MyWeather desktop icon - that keep saved city location and updates when changed temperature - change Title to "In Toronto 12C", when changed weather - change icon - to rain or sun or something else ;)
I think you need more work on that. So take ~o) and I-| and after that you can do it ;)
Good luck!
And waiting new updates and new plugins.
You are Number One, who creates plugins and shared them!

Thanks for your comment :)

So :

NextRelease TodoList
* Icon on window is icon for the current day's weather
* Add temperature in window title



create MyWeather desktop icon


What do you thinks when you say that ? don't understand the principle..

Correct

Now on desktop you have "Dev docs", "Grid window", "Accordion window" and "Weather" - that icon can be related and show weather and temperature in My City. - I think it should be like one more "Auto Run" module "MyWeather" - that making periodical requests to server and showing current weather (icon) and temperature(title) right on desktop not like separate window.

And you can add Russian and Ukrainian languages to weather ;)

Thanks for translations ! i will add it in next release ;)

For your suggestion....... hutch ! For doing that, Desk-Weather must be integreated into the Desktop and a task will be set. Each time mxracer release a new version, all people who use this feature must update the source code.... not realy nice... :/

We can imagine this :
When user logging into the Desktop, he start Desk-Weather just one time ; a task will be set into global app, a desktop icon is set on the desktop and your idea can be done :)
What do you think about this ?
Have you a better idea ?

PS : re re re sorry for my poor english....... :/

It could be done another way:
when Desk-Weather starts - it create desktop icon, like
Ext.DomHelper.append('x-shortcuts', {
tag: 'dt', cls: 'myWeather-Icon', html:'<a href="#"><img src="resources/images/default/s.gif" /><div>My Weather</div></a>'
});
I'm not sure about that code, but you can get idea.
And than just use that icon

You have pretty good English ;)

But you have good js-skills ;)

Hi Yannick,

This is very nice plugin, very interesting.
I like your tooltip for prev days..

I think the LEV_A proposition is great (for have prevision icon on desktop) !, certainly hard to do !! .............OUPS, NOT FOR U :D:D:D !

For me, it will be better to have tabpanels (and add this plugin : http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20662) for unDock the panels individualy...

Whe have 2 windows... the search form and the city. It will be better to have just one layout with search and citys... ?
certainly same APPLE weather widgets. Search form is in the option panel... I don't know if it's the best way.

Anybody got this sweet module working with the revised qWikiOffice version?

I am working on it currently, but no luck so far. I would greatly appreciate any help!

[razor]

Ok, the plugin is now working under the new qWikiOffice. Database functionality is not working yet, this has to be rebuilded somewhat. I will post when this works.

What I have done is first changed all paths and replaced the Plugin namespace and vars with QoDesk vars. Afterwards you will need to add the module with the QoAdmin, which is fairly easy.

[razor]

Please find the updated code here:

http://www.tokina.eu/qwiki/weather.zip

The DB/json code is now working (as mentioned in post on next page). The Desk-Weather applet no longer breaks in IE.


And here is the screenshot under the new qwikioffice:

What's that big, round, orange fiery thing in those pictures?

It's like no meteorological phenomenon I can remember! :(:(:(:(

[razor]

Haha- that long ago that the sun has touched your skin? ;)

[Ytorres]

Please find the updated code here:

http://www.tokina.eu/qwiki/weather.zip

Please note that the DB/json code is not yet functional, the qwikioffice breaks under IE, but works find under firefox.


Hi Razor !

Great work :)

Pleased to see that :)

Is this the latest version of the desktop?



// get the desktop
require_once("../../../source/desktop.php");


should this be:


// get the desktop
require_once("../../../system/os.php");

require_once("../../../source/desktop.php");

You are very correct. I have just updated the code, and the JSON/db functionality is now working again.

The code changes are listed below, these apply to both the php load and save file. The archive has been updated.


// get the desktop
require_once("../../../core/os.php");

if(class_exists('os')){

$desktop = new os();

Stay tuned for the update sometime this week.

-- UPDATE: the archive has been updated (see post on previous page).
