WordPress UK Weather Observations Plugin – version 2.0
I have today released version 2.0 of my WordPress UK Weather Observations Plugin. The plugin can be downloaded from the plugin page hosted on the WordPress website. If you are updating from version 1.0, you can use the WordPress automatic upgrade facility in your blog’s dashboard.
Version 2.0 of the plugin works with the new BBC URLs and location codes. It has also been updated to allow the use of Curl (if available on the server) to access the BBC data and to provide a more specific error message if there is a problem accessing the BBC data as a result of the server’s PHP settings. These improvements should help to eliminate the ‘No current observations available’ problems that some users experienced with version 1.0.
All users are encouraged to update to the new version (which has been tested on WordPress 2.8) as soon as possible as the BBC are no longer providing regular updates for version 1.0.
Please note that as a result of the BBC changing their location codes, you will probably need to change the location code that you use.
If you have comments, problems or suggestions or see something in the code which is not compliant with the WordPress Plugin Codex, please add a comment, create a post at the WordPress support forum (tag it with “uk-weather-observations”) or send an email to clive@clive-publishing.com.
If you think you’ve found a bug, please send an email to clive@clive-publishing.com and I will do my best to fix it.
I hope that you find the plugin useful.
