FAQ: add available parameters for widget (website-version)

Post by ikarus1969 »

Hi Pavel,

in the weather-forum i use http://www.wetterstationen.info/ it was asked if there's a list of available parameters of the widget (website-version of YoWindow).

I answered "no, not a list". But i said i will ask here if you could add such a list to the FAQ.

I don't know if it's complete but here are the parameters i know so far:
  • location
    • Name: location_id
    • value: gn:[supported geonames-id]
  • custom location-name
    • Name: location_name
    • value: [custom location name]
  • language
    • Name: lang
    • value: [valid language-id. eg.: de, de-at, en, ...]
  • time-format
    • Name: time_format
    • value: [12|24]
  • unit-system
    • Name: unit_system
    • value: [metric|us]
  • background-color
    • Name: background
    • value: [valid color code: #rrggbb]
  • show temperature
    • Name: mini_temperature
    • value: [true|false]
  • show time
    • Name: mini_time
    • value: [true|false]
  • show location-bar
    • Name: mini_locationBar
    • value: [true|false]
  • show moment-bar
    • Name: mini_momentBar
    • value: [true|false]
  • use pws-weather
    • Name: current_weather_url
    • value: [url to the weather-xml-file] (don't forget to read FAQ (http://yowindow.com/help.html) for needed crossdomain.xml and a general how-to!)
are there any other parameter i missed here?

Reinhard, thanks for bringing this topic up!
I think this is a good decision to let the users know the available parameters of the weather widget.
I have copied the list composed by you to our FAQ.
Thank you!

I think you have covered all the parameters.
If I find a missing one I will update the FAQ.
