Software

Installation

1. Unzip the folder to a temporary location on your local hard drive.
2. FTP the files from their local folders to the same locations in your EE install’s /system/user/addons/ folder on the server.
3. Navigate to Add-ons in your EE control panel and install the add-on. That’s it!

Usage

Visit https://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/ to find an airport code for the location you want weather conditions for.

Then, add the this tag to your template, and a short weather update from http://www.weather.gov/ will output in HTML:

{exp:hop_weather airport_code="KDCA"}

or

{exp:hop_weather airport_code="KDCA"}
    <span>{weather_string}</span>
    <span>{temp_f}</span>
    <span>{temp_f_round}</span>
    <span><img src="{icon_url}" /></span>
{/exp:hop_weather}

The results are cached for 300 seconds.

Alternatively, if you want to show the upcoming three-day forecast, use the forecast parameter, along with longitude long and latitude lat:

{exp:hop_weather forecast="yes" long="-77.03" lat="38.89"}

Updating

Updating is easy:

1. Download a new version from this website, and extract on your hard drive.
2. Upload the new files to their appropriate locations.

Uninstalling

1. Navigate to the Add-Ons > Modules tab in your EE control panel and uninstall the module.
2. Remove the add-on directory from your EE system folder on the server.
