SilverStripe OpenWeatherMap
===========================

[](#silverstripe-openweathermap)

Adds a simple 1 to 5 day weather forecast to your SilverStripe website with data from the free version of OpenWeatherMap (). This free version gives only a 5 day/3 hours forecast, but this module turns the collected date into a 1 to 5 day full day forecast. At the moment it's just a simple forecast with a weather icon and the minimum and maximum temperature.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 4
- cmfcmf/openweathermap-php-api

### Version

[](#version)

Using Semantic Versioning.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

composer require "hestec/silverstripe-openweathermap": "1.\*"

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Signup for a (free) account at  and get your API key.

Add the OpenWeatherMap API key to your yaml file:

```
Hestec\OpenWeatherMap\OpenWeatherMapExtension:
  ApiKey: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

```

do a dev/build and flush.

### Working

[](#working)

The forecast data of the free version of OpenWeatherMap (maximum 5 days) will be stored in the table OpenWeatherMapData and is updated just once in 3 hours when someone visits the website. This method reduces the number of api calls and will show the weather even if the OpenWeatherMap service is not available for a while.

### Usage

[](#usage)

Include OpenWeatherMap in your Page:

```

```

This gives a 5 day weather forecast of the city Rio de Janeiro. I guess you want the forecast(s) of other cities. For that copy the template \\silverstripe-openweathermap\\templates\\Includes\\OpenWeatherMap.ss to your templates\\Includes folder in your theme and changes the parameters of the loop call:

```

```

Where the number is the days of forecasts (maximum 5) en the code is the city code used on OpenWeathetMap. Get the code of your city on : search the name of the city and find the code in the url.

Or simply put this loop in your page(s):

```

       $CityName, $CityCountry $Date:
           Minimum temperatuur: $TemperatureMin
           Maximum temperatuur: $TemperatureMax

```

If you want to use your own icons instead of the standard OpenWeatherMap icons, use just $Icon and the path to your icons. For example:

```

       $CityName, $CityCountry $Date:
           Minimum temperatuur: $TemperatureMin
           Maximum temperatuur: $TemperatureMax

```
