User changeable weather forecasts
Posted: 6. November 2009 20:18
Hi,
I've seen a couple of weather forecasts on here but wanted to do something a bit different. I've added a box to allow the users to change the city from the portal.
Have a look on my forum http://www.arvclub.co.uk, userid test user, password letmein.
You can enter a city in the UK or country, city for any other country.
First of all you'll need to create a custom profile field called location to hold the weather forecast location in.
Edit UCP.php and find
Insert before the found line
Create a new file called /Forum/portal/block/weather.php
And another file called /Forum/styles/prosilver/template/portal/block/weather.html
Hope you like it.
Regards
Doug
