Patches for PhpWeather

Since I sent a mail to the [PHP Weather][] mailing list mailing list, the have poured in with fixes and patches. The patches have now been put into the [PHP Weather][] CVS repository. If you can, then you should try it out.

The patches deal with PHP 4.2 compatibility and also improve the utility functions found in pw_utilities.php so that they’re easier to use. The index.php file has been rewritten by Ondrej Jombik nepto@pobox.sk. The rewrite required a new method in the database backends, get_country_code($icao), so those had to be updated accordingly.

It works

It seams that the idea behind my WikiWikiWeb works — as seen on the RecentChanges page, a friendly person has fixed one of my typos on the MartinGeisler page. Thanks a lot!

After I fixed the code for the [PHP Weather][] plugin, I figured that I should make a release of the CVS code. It’s been done for at least six months but it’s never been released on SourceForge. Expect a proper 2.0 release in a few days to go with the [PHP Weather][] WikiWikiWeb plugin.

A PhpWeather PhpWiki plugin

PhpWiki:ReiniUrban added the [PHP Weather][] plugin code from PhpWiki:CarstenKlapp. It was on PhpWikiDemo:enPhpWeather for some time but never in CVS.

Here is a test of the [PHP Weather][] plugin:

<?plugin PhpWeather icao="EKAH" language="en" ?>

It shows how the weather is where I live.

Come see my WikiWikiWeb!

I’m moving my site to a WikiWikiWeb instead of these static HTML pages. A WikiWikiWeb is a special kind of site where everybody can edit all the pages live in their browser (try it yourself in the SandBox on my Wiki) from anywhere in the world.

Until most of the pages have been moved to the Wiki, you’ll be able to access it here:

  • http://mgeisler.net/phpwiki/

When the transition is done, then I expect to install the Wiki as the root of gimpster.com. But now, please go to the Wiki and explore. Perhaps you have something you would like to put on the frontpage? No problem — just place your news for today at the top of this page! Perhaps you have a question about my PhpTutorial? Then just edit the page!

The WikiWikiWeb is launched!

I’ve now uploaded the WikiWikiWeb to gimpster.com so that you can play with it.

Cool, you rock! -Thomas Mølhave
