<p>Small patch turned into a completely new plugin. The weather forecast is based on http://www.worldweatheronline.com/ API (JSON).<br />
   The plugin is much more light then its ancestor. It has more features and most importantly it works!</p>
<h3>The install</h3>
<ol>
<li>You can install the plugin using the auto-install tool from the WordPress back-end.</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>You should now see the widget show up under ‘widgets’ menu. Drop that widget into a sidebar.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How are the day name localized?</h3>
<p>The localization is treated by the internal WordPress logic. What language you have that language you get.</p>
<h4>Why did you make another Weather widget?</h4>
<p>Well, we (http://prahounakole.cz) were using the ICIT Weather widget for a while and when it stopped to work I went ahead and “fix” it.</p>
<h4>Can I use the bundled images for free?</h4>
<p>Sure!</p>
<h4>Even on commercial project?</h4>
<p>Sure!</p>
<h4>What if I want to use my own icons?</h4>
<p>It’s easy, make your own and put them images in the sub-folder with your custom name to the images folder in this plugin directory.<br />
 Refresh the widget admin screen. You’ll find your pack in the “Image set” Weather widget menu.<br />
 (good source of icons is:http://www.iconarchive.com/ or http://www.deviantart.com/)</p>
<p>Check how the bundled images how they are done, and follow this naming structure:<br />
 WORLD WEATHER possible weather cases (image names are 395.png and it thumbnail 395-thumb.png)</p>
<h4>and what about the weather informations?</h4>
<p>If you want to use this widget you have to first get the API from (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/register.aspx)..don’t wary it’s free, just follow the WWO Policy (http://www.worldweatheronline.com/free-weather-feed.aspx?menu=usage).</p>

<p>Easy Weather Widget provides you with an easy to use widget which outputs weather information. When creating the widget just enter in your U.S. zip code and save, it will display the current weather on your site.</p>
<p>I completely rewrote the widget and made it filterable. You need to obtain and enter an API key, which has a free tier that should cover many use cases to obtain at Settings > General in your WP backend. See http://openweathermap.org/api for more information.</p>
<p>The following filters are available:</p>
<p><strong>eww_template</strong> to override the output template for the widget, see below for more information.</p>
<p><strong>note</strong>, if you are overriding the template, please heed the notice to comply with the OpneWeatherMap license which states <code>the OpenWeatherMap name must be mentioned as a weather source in a visible part of the application.</code> (obtained 8/2016 from http://openweathermap.org/price)</p>
<p><strong>eww_ioc_container</strong> to override the IoC container if you want to use different classes in the application (including the API to grab weather data)</p>
<h4>Usage of eww_template filter</h4>
<p>Add a “views” directory and file named “custom-eww.php” to your template directory. The “custom-eww.php” file will be your custom template for this example.</p>
<h4>Example of using a custom template from within your theme PHP 5.3+ which allows closures</h4>
<pre><code>    <?php

        add_filter( 'eww_template', function ( $template ){
            $template_dir = get_template_directory();
            return $template_dir . '/views/custom-eww.php';
        } );
        ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Grunt</h4>
<p>This plugin takes advantage of Grunt for validating JavaScript, SASS compilation and minification. To take advantage of Grunt you have to have both <a href="https://npmjs.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">npm</a> and <a href="http://gruntjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Grunt</a> installed. Visit the respective sites for the applications and make sure they are installed. Once installed, if you want to edit/fork this plugin, it will be helpful to be familiar with these two tools.</p>
