Hi guys, this is not going to be a very positive post, unfortunately. First bad news – WU is discontinuing the free API keys. You guys know I´ve always been quite negative towards WU, and I knew why… the deal is – you now send them data, which they then sell to others, starting from … Read moreInfo
Hi guys, I have been thinking about how to make Meteotemplate pages more interesting. One thing I noticed is that most of you choose one color theme and never change it. This surely makes the pages quite boring and so I came up with a new feature. In the next version – Meteotemplate 18.0 Rotten … Read moreNew feature – theme change
Hi guys, this is going to be a rather personal post, which however is related to Meteotemplate as well. Some of you may have noticed I was a bit less active in the recent past, both in terms of updates and in terms of posting on the forum. This was not a coincidence. Last two … Read moreMeteotemplate – Info

Hi guys, another set of common questions/answers and tips. You mentioned on the forum that you want to delete the auto-update feature because it does not work for all, will it remain in the template? Yes it will, I released a fix, which helped many people. There are, unfortunately, still users for whom this does … Read moreQ/A – Oct 13, 2017
Hi guys, unfortunately the script which was supposed to generate data did not work well and my station has been offline since Saturday. Because I see there really is no point in keeping it online I decided to only keep my station data for myself offline. Several of you offered me to use their data. … Read moreDEMO
Hi guys, the demo is working again. I created a script which uses a combination of my past data, current data from local METAR and creates some reasonable random number which is used when the station is detected as offline. Time will tell how this works especially during the winter, when it is usually wet/cold … Read moreDEMO

Hi guys, those of you who haven’t read my previous post about lang admins and who they are, please read my first post first – here. Several of you volunteered to be a lang admin.

Hi guys, another set of common questions/answers and tips. Which PHP version is used by the DEMO? Currently 7.1.5 It would be nice if there was some page with some pre-defined homepage layouts, with the configuration for download and list of blocks required to install. I have thought about this, but decided not to do … Read moreQ/A – Aug 25, 2017
Hi guys, one major tip I forgot to mention yesterday with regards to speeding up your page is turning off the interactive header (I turned it off for the DEMO too). Enjoy
Hi guys, Now that we have the forum running (and so far so good, I have to say I am shocked how well-received it was and how many people have already used it), I decided to go one step further with making the template international. I came up with a concept of “Language admins”. This … Read moreLanguage Admins
Hi guys, After a lot of thinking I have changed my mind and decided to create a dedicated Meteotemplate forum. It is something several of you suggested in the past, but I always dismissed the idea given how much time/work it is to administer/install a forum. However, due to the ever increasing number of users … Read moreForum

First of all I want to thank everyone who shared their view and have to say I was very surprised by the positive reaction. I think we have come up with some ideas/solutions (see previous posts/comments). Whether this will work is a question, I think yes, but we simply have to try. In the upcoming … Read moreUpdate
Hi guys, Based on all your feedback (thank you very much), I have come to a conclusion that the best thing to do would be coming up with a list of Pro features, which would be in addition to the standard free Meteotemplate. Advantages: I still feel like when someone wants to use it and … Read moreIdeas…
Hi guys, Again a very hard post to write, but I need your feedback.

Some of you might have some speculations over … Read moreMeteotemplate – your feedback
Hi guys, another set of common questions/answers and tips. Have you thought about translating the wiki as well? Yes, but I came to the conclusion that it simply would not work. First, I make changes to the wiki very often and this would be a problem. Second, to certain extent I want to make sure … Read moreQ/A – Aug 3, 2017
Hi guys, probably the major new feature about version 15 is something many of you asked so many times – logging of the extra sensor data. This was absolutely impossible previously, it only became potentially possible with the introduction of unified API, but only in v14 the API was finally available to all. I had … Read moreMeteotemplate 15.0 – Extra Parameters
Hi guys, just a quick update regarding my station. I came home very late from work yesterday so today I finally had time to look at it on daylight for first time.

Hi guys, sometimes I get asked if I could make a block/plugin for a particular country. My goal is to have at least something for every country where there are some Meteotemplate users.
