Hello,

first of all thank you for this module.

I have the following problem, I want to show this tabel with decoded weather in a widget on the frontpage.

How can I achieve this? is this possible with a main controller?

Hey Rick, do you mean to show ONLY the complete metar info for the airport?

ncd200 · September 4, 2018, 4:50am

yes, I have now the following:

Quote

<div class=“card”>
<div class=“card-title”>
<h4>Current weather</h4>
</div>
<div class=“card-body”>

               <table style=“width:100% !important;” class=“table”>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>METAR</td>
                   <td><?php echo $metar;?></td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>Pressure (altimeter)</td>
                   <td><?php echo $altim_bar . " mbar";?></td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>Wind</td>
                   <td><?php echo $wind_dir_deg;?>° with <?php echo $wind_speed_kt;?> kts</td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>Temperature</td>
                   <td><?php echo $temp;?> <?php echo ’ '. $temp_indicator;?></td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>Dewpoint</td>
                   <td><?php echo $dewpoint;?> <?php echo ’ '. $temp_indicator;?></td>
               </tr>
               <tr>
                   <td class=“fat”>Horizontal visibility</td>
                   <td><?php echo $visibility_decrypt;?></td>
               </tr>

               <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘sky_condition’, ‘’); ?>

               </table>

Hi Rick!

The module looks for the pilots last accepted pirep arrival airport. Thats the “current position airport”. It took this and show it’s weather.

I’ve implemented a PHP get method that you can set the airports icao. To do this you have the url and you just add ?icao=ICAO_HERE - in my case:

http://phpvms.philippdalheimer.de/index.php/instantweather?icao=eddf

To do this, please update the module. There should be a update link in the module. Or just check out the news on github.

Hope it solves your problem, Rick!

ncd200 · September 4, 2018, 2:14pm

Thanks for the answer.

The module works as intended only no in a wdget from the frontpage.

what i am trying to do is to view the weather module from the frontpager_main in a section special for the weather.

Karamellwuerfel · September 4, 2018, 2:20pm

Does it work with this?

\<?php MainController::Run('InstantWeather', 'get\_metar', ''); ?\>

ncd200 · September 6, 2018, 3:31am

negative sir. any other ideas?

Karamellwuerfel · September 6, 2018, 6:47am

Just download the module new and upload & replace it on your server. Please backup your files before updating.

Anyway of adding a search fuinction to this at all ?

djtiger76 · February 11, 2020, 12:07pm

Karamellwuerfe,
I see your module will show the weather where the pilots last flight terminated. There is also the option set a ICAO manually…

Is there a way for the module to show the weather of the hub the pilot is based? It will always show that information regardless of where the pilot is.
Thanks

Karamellwuerfel · February 11, 2020, 4:15pm

Hi ,

you can use the option to show the weather on a special airport. Get the pilot’s hub and insert it in the function.

logged in pilot’s hub:

Auth::$pilot-\>hub

If you guys give me features you like fo this module, I can write a version 2.0 in the next days and give it to you with that requests :-)

features (?):

display the weather on specific airport
display weather on hub of pilot
display weather inline, not only on specific url

anything else?

Thanks!

Lausitzaircargo · April 2, 2020, 1:56pm

Karamellwuerfel · April 2, 2020, 2:50pm

Hi , just try the github repo. There is also a documentation in the readme

https://github.com/Karamellwuerfel/InstantWeather

Have a nice day

miniarma · April 9, 2020, 2:31pm

Any chance on adding a search function at all for the ICAO’S

Karamellwuerfel · April 13, 2020, 11:08am

Hello ,

programmically there is always a way to do something Yes. But it’s not implemented in this module.

Regards.

Hey guys! I’ve made a Weather module that shows you real time and

instant weather informations of the current airport where the logged in pilot is.

DEMO VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx0HCaW-a5I

#########INSTALLATION######### 1. Copy the “core/modules/InstantWeather”-folder into your “core/modules”-folder of your va 2. Copy the “core/templates/instantweather”-folder into your “core/templates”-folder of your va 3. To show the module in the navigation: <li><a href=“<?php echo url(‘/instantweather’); ?>”>InstantWeather</a></li>

USE INFORMATION ON OTHER PAGES (v 1.9) –> More on github project README.md

Use MainController::Run to display all different information of the table on other pages. Available functions:

<?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘metar’); ?> // example: EDDS 070920Z 26004KT 230V300 9999 FEW012 SCT025 BKN068 18/16 Q1015 NOSIG <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘pressure’); ?> // example: 982 mbar <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘wind_speed’); ?> // example: 4 kts <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘wind_degrees’); ?> // example: 260° <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘temperature’); ?> // example: 18.0 °C <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘dewpoint’); ?> // example: 16.0 °C <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘visibility’); ?> // example: 6.21 mile <?php MainController::Run(‘InstantWeather’, ‘skycondition’); ?> /* example: Sky condition level 1 FEW 1200 ft Sky condition level 2 SCT 2500 ft (Scattered) Sky condition level 3 BKN 6800 ft (Broken) */

(Tested on PHPVMS Version 2.1.936)

Would this be adaptable to a WP site. I would like to be able to weather on my front end.

Hey! I guess you have to do it in a WP plugin instead.

This is a phpVMS module and is (I think) not compatible with WordPress.

Kind regards,
