In reality I would like to share these icons with another, related plugin I am going to write.
The plugin get METAR data from the net and then displays it in a table that has both textual and iconic represtations. Unlike the weather plugin by this one displays icons and it displays the time locally instead of in GMT. At the moment it is hardcoded to use metric units it can use imperial (otherwise called US standard) units. There are some other things I would like to do with the configuration directives, but that can wait.
I put up a page for it a http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai/plugin.html
here is the code for the plugin ... or you can view it at http://lusan.id.au/~nikolai/serendipity ... metar.phps
Code: Select all
