My WordPress plugin for the Windy.com widget was updated today, adding the following features and changes:
- Re-named plugin from ‘Weather Map Widget’ to ‘Ventus – Weather Map Widget & Shortcode’.
- Added new shortcode alias
ventus(the old shortcodeweather-maphas been maintained for backwards-compatibility). - Added four new layers to select from: CO Concentration (cosc), Sea Temperature (sst), Snow Cover (snowcover) and Waves (waves).
- Added general translation support and a French translation.
- Added ability to choose from the following wind measurement units: beaufort (bft), kilometers per hour (km/h), knots (kt), meters per second (m/s) and miles per hour (mph).
- Added ability to show/hide the map marker.
- Added ability to show/hide to show hide pressure isolines.
- Re-factored code (classes, package names, text domain etc) to reflect new plugin name.
It’s free to download from the official WordPress repository.
I cant seem to get this synced with Springfield Illinois. I’m at 39.7676N and 89.6807W. I tried entering these numbers and end up in mongolia or china.
Hi David, try entering in a latitude of 39.790 and a longitude of -89.625; that should center you over Springfield Illinois. If you’re ever unsure of co-ordinates, try them out first over at the full windy.com website. E.g. windy.com/39.760/-89.625.
well,i can not setup this widget,
there is the error :” missing css style “
Hi there, can you send me a screenshot of the error you’re getting by email? https://google.ie
Hi,
Is there a way to show Radar, lightning as the default?
Also, is there a way to have a new tab open when the Windy.com icon is clicked instead of leaving our website?
Great plugin!
Hi Scott, thanks for getting in touch! Re: the opening of a new tab instead of replacing the current url, unfortunately that functionality is part of the inner widget, which I don’t control. As a workaround, you could wrap the shortcode/widget in a div with pointer events disabled, i.e. pointer-events: none. I realise that might be a bit extreme though.
To show radar as the default, try setting the layer attribute to radar, e.g. [ventus layer="radar"]. That should do it.
Hello
I installed this app on a WordPress site, and the map area is blank–dark gray. Help
Hi Kelly, I’ve just emailed you there so I can get further info. Thanks, David
