WordPress Windguru Plugin
This plugin is almost certainly no longer working in current versions of WordPress and/or WindGuru but this is its 9th Birthday so I leave it here for prosperity.
Installation Notes
- Download web-ethical-windguru-plugin-3.00 and then use the built-in wordpress plugin installer to upload the zip file.
- Activate the plugin.
- Go to the settings > Wind Guru Plugin Admin Menu and fill in at least your id_user.
- Insert forecasts into pages/posts in the format
{wewgpi station="100" id="SOME_CODE"} where the {Curly} brackets must be [Square] ones!
To Add Forecasts
- Locate the page or post where you want the forecast to appear
- Get the forecast insert php code given on Windguru e.g. windguru_forecast(100,’SOME_CODE’)
- Translate it into
{wewgpi station="100" id="SOME_CODE"} where the {Curly} brackets must be [Square] ones! - Insert into the page and update.
- Bingo you should have a working forecast.
Getting the windguru forecast codes.
The plugin system will only work if you have registered with windguru and have created favourite forecasts in your windguru account.
- Register with Windguru: If you are not already registered with Windguru go to https://www.windguru.cz/int/novy.php
- Login to your account.
- Go to Settings > Forecasts for your Websites.
- You are able to add up to 10 spots – either click on Add Another Spot or select one from those you have previously created.
- In the forecast preview you will see the forecast followed by some code. You want the two numbers located inside the php code.
- Place these numbers inside the plugin call as explained for each plugin.
I owe a huge thanks to Vaclav Hornik for his support and letting me publish these plugins
