Setting up the plugin

The Wunderground plugin displays forecasts in the Wunderground.com widget or by using the [wunderground] shortcode.

Widget

To configure the widget, go to your WordPress Dashboard, then navigate to Appearance, then click on the Widgets submenu.

Once there, you will see a Wunderground widget. Add it to one of your sidebars and follow the on-screen instructions.

Shortcode

You can use either the [wunderground] or [forecast] shortcode to embed a forecast in a post or page.

Shortcode Example

This code: [wunderground location="Philadelphia, PA" numdays="3" layout="simple"]

Will output the forecast using the simple template, show three days of forecasts for Philadelphia, PA.

Shortcode Parameters

• location - Define the location of the forecast. Default: Denver, Colorado. It can be in any format compatible with Wunderground, including:
  • City / State (example: {city},{state})
  • Country / City (example: Paris, France)
  • Coordinates (example: {longitude}, {latitude}),
  • Wunderground "zmw" (example: zmw:00000.1.12345)
  • Wunderground Personal Weather Station (PWS) ID (example: KCODOLOR2)
  • 3-4 character airport code (example: DEN)
• location_title - If your shortcode uses an ugly location title like zmw:00000.1.12345, you might want to override that! Use this parameter to define how the location appears in the shortcode output.

• datelabel - Change the format of the date using PHP date formatting. See Formatting Date and Time for more information. Default: m/d (Example for October 21: 10/21)
• layout - The layout template to be used. The value of this parameter is used to find the HTML template file in the templates directory. For example, simple loads the templates/simple.html template file. See Templates below for how the templates are loaded and can be overruled. Default: table-vertical
  • table-vertical - A vertical table with each day as a row
  • table-horizontal - A horizontal table with each day as a column
  • simple - A flexible day view
  • current - Current conditions only
• measurement - Whether to show items in Fahrenheit and Imperial (english or f) or Celsius and Metric (metric or c). Default: english

  • search - Location search bar
  • daynames - Display the day of the week (Example: "Thursday")
  • icon - Weather forecast icon
  • pop - % chance of precipitation
  • text - Forecast text summary
  • date - Show the date in the output
  • conditions - Short summary of conditions ("Clear", "Partly Cloudy", etc.)
  • highlow - Show the high & low temperatures for forecast.
  • text - Display a description of the forecast, normally in sentence format.
  • alerts - Weather alerts for the forecast area.
• hidedata - The items to hide in the forecast. Instead of setting what to show, use the defaults and set what to hide. Accepts the same parameters as showdata. Default: (Empty) Example: hidedata="search" will hide the search bar, but will show the rest of the default data.

Finding your location

If you're using the shortcode, and your location can't be found:

• Go to Wunderground.com
• In the "Search Locations" box, type in your location
• Click on the location when it appears in the auto-complete box
• When the page loads, copy the URL. It will likely look like this: http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.4.17340
• Copy the part of the URL after the /q/. In this example, it would be zmw:00000.4.17340
• Use that as your location in the shortcode, like this: [wunderground location="zmw:00000.4.17340" /]
• That should work!

International

Language

The Wunderground plugin attempts to use the language you defined in the WordPress admin by default. You can override the language in the plugin's widget and also in the shortcode using the language attribute. See Shortcode above for more information. You can override the default language using the wunderground_default_language filter. See the "Filters" section below.

Wunderground subdomains

The plugin will read your defined language and try to determine the Wunderground.com subdomain to use. For example, the Simplified Chinese (code: CN) Wunderground site is simplifiedchinese.wunderground.com.

If you want to override the setting, use the wunderground_redirect_subdomain filter, which passes two parameters: $subdomain for the current subdomain, and $language_key for the defined language.

Templates

Using your own templates

If you want to use your own template:

• Create a directory in your theme named wunderground - the path will look like: wp-content/themes/your-theme/wunderground/
• Go to the Wunderground plugin directory (wp-content/wunderground/templates/)
• Copy the files you want to change into the wunderground directory you created
• Modify the files

The template uses the Twig template engine to access the data. This helps keep the plugin secure.

If you want to have the files located in another place, you can use the wunderground_template_paths filter to modify the paths checked. See template.php for the code.
