[Patch] Statusbar Weather Widget

[Garrett92C]

Statusbar Weather Widget v2.1

This patch will put a weather widget in your statusbar. A functional GPS is required for now...

Installation:
- Download the attached StatusbarWeatherWidget_v2.1.zip file and extract it.
- Install the ipk file.

Installation for WebOS 1.4.5 users:
- Download the attached Icon pack and extract it.
- Put all the individual images in /media/internal/.widgets/sww/
- Install one of the 1.4.5 patches.

How to use:

- Tapping the icon cycles between "Minimal", "Basic", and "Full" views
- Tap and hold the icon to launch your city's Yahoo Weather page in the Browser. You can also set this function in Tweaks to launch a different weather app.
- Tap the 'Data Area' to update your weather info only
- Tap and hold the 'Data Area' to update your GPS location and weather info

"Tap and hold" means you need to keep your finger on the specified area for a second or two. The Data Area is not accessible in the "Minimal" view.

Views:
Minimal

Basic

Full


Available Tweaks:
Units
-- Fahrenheit
-- Celsius
Status Line 1/2
-- City Name: The name of your current city
-- High and Low: Today's forecasted high and low
-- Conditions: Description of the current conditions
-- Wind Conditions: [Wind direction] [Wind speed] [Wind chill]
-- Date: Today's date
Display
-- Homescreen Only: SWW will only be displayed while you are in card view
-- Always: SWW will always be visible. You will still be able to access the app menu.
Clock
-- Center: The clock will be in it's default position
-- Right: The clock will be moved to the far right side of the statusbar
Icon Launch
-- App Name: Holding your finger on the weather icon will launch this app
Update Interval (Minutes)
-- Number: How often the widget automatically refreshes the weather data

After changing a setting in Tweaks, all you need to do is tap the 'Data Area' to update the widget. Your new settings will then take effect.

Screenshots:

SWW 2.1 does not work with sconix's Advanced Menu patches. If you want a version of SWW that's compatible, please use v1.5.

The 1.4.5 versions do not update automatically... For some reason, the 'auto update' code was causing the widget to not work right... I'll try to fix it tomorrow.

Please let me know if you have any issues with this patch.

This is... AWESOME. This is exactly what I've been wanting, I've been using weathericon, but I feel I can replace it with this. Hopefully this works well.

Although, I have the date replacing the provider string, I assume I'm going to have to uninstall that ya?

Edit:

I just saw you have to edit a file to change the zip, I travel a bit so I'd like to see an easier way. Maybe a GUI frontend or something so it's easy. Or GPS location. But so far, this is awesome. Thanks for your awesome work.

I think adding "&u=c" to line 17, eg :

"+var url = "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=12772646&u=c";"

Should work.

I'm trying this right now

Theoretically if you append the url with &u=c

http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=27191985&u=c

and change

+    Mojo.Dom.get('weather-temp').innerHTML = objectTemp + "°F";

to

+    Mojo.Dom.get('weather-temp').innerHTML = objectTemp + "°C";

It should work ..

that is brilliant!

I'm not a super programmer or anything, but (for anyone who has looked at his patch) isn't there a way to use case instead of if/elseifs ?

[sledge007]

High 5 brother!! That is pretty cool. I'm going to put this on right away

That was fairly simple, I haven't messed around with Notepad++ before, but it wasn't that hard. Just out of curiousity, what are those 2 lines (18 & 19) for?

[Jakeeeee]

Does it poll even if the phones data/WiFi is turned off?

@Garrett92C @benuk Awesome to the max!
You made my day!

I enabled show hidden files on my control panel and don't see the ".scrims" folder in /media/internal.....How do I make that happen?

[kristoffer10]

Awesome!!!! I've been using the weather icon app. This will allow me to place another app in the quick launch bar. Once this gets updated to locate my GPS, i'm on it! I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread.

Thanks again Garrett, you are off tha chain!!!!

I tried to create it as ".scrims" but it says "You must type a file name". (When I put the . in front) I also tried to just name it "scrims" and then set the properties to hidden, but that didn't work either.

@sledge007 In case you´re using Internalz you could simply create such a directory with it.

I assume you're using Windows. Name it as .scrims. (period in front and at end) and it will work. Windows will think there's no extension and "helpfully" remove the last period.
