Wordpress Weather

How do I override the default template with a custom version?

1. Create the directory ‘weather’ in your theme directory. If you’re using child themes, create ‘weather’ in the parent theme directory.

2. Create ‘wordpress-weather.css’ in the new directory. Your css will be loaded instead of the default ‘resources/weather-display.php’.

Because the default template spits out basic unordered lists with lots of classes to hook to, this may be all you need.
The default css is compatible with the default 2010 theme. You will most-likely need to adjust the css for your theme.

3. Create ‘weather-display.php’ in the new directory. Your markup will be loaded instead of the default ‘views/weather-display.php’.

4. Create ‘weather-display-sidebar.php’ in the new directory. Your markup will be loaded instead of the default ‘views/weather-display-sidebar.php’.

5. Create ‘wordpress-weather.js’ in the new directory. Your javascript will be loaded instead of the default ‘resources/wordpress-weather.js’.

In this default file, ajax on jQuery is used to update user-chosen locations, so in using a custom-built ‘weather-display.php’, it is likely that you’ll need to update DOM selectors.

How do I translate the plugin?

1. Rename the translation file

* Make a copy of ‘wordpress-weather.pot’ in ‘wordpress-weather/lang/’.
* Open ‘wp-config.php’ from the Wordpress root folder.
* Find where WPLANG is defined around line 72. For instance, WPLANG set to French would look like this: define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');
* Add the language code to the name of the WPW translation file and change the extension. For the French example, the new filename is ‘wordpress-weather-fr_FR.po’. Use this format for any language.

2. Using Poedit, open the new translation file
