Created Simple Weather Module for Drupal

Sat, 08/25/2007 - 17:42 — will.ballantyne

I could not find a Drupal weather module that did what I wanted (provided an N-day forecast for my area in small block-form), so I created my first Drupal module: weatherfacti. A small and simple module. It uses the free weather.com XML service to retrieve forecast data. The module is attached to this post or can be accessed by clicking here. Enjoy!

Slight feature addition

Hello,
I was searching for a weather module that would work with Drupal 6.x. I found yours and modified to work with Drupal 6. I also added a feature that detects the viewers IP address and translates that into a postal code; the weather will be displayed from that zip code. Also, if you have the profile's module installed and a zipcode profile field added, the user can specify a default zip code to use instead of the detected zipcode. I can send you the modified code if you wish or you can just use this as a suggestion.

Thank you for the module!
