Weather Portlet

Can anybody send me weather portlet

Whatever you guys are working on, you should share notes.

Review all of the other recent posts on the weather portlet: where to get it, how to deploy it, how to configure it, and why invalid params result in blank screen.

Again, this has all been covered in recent weeks as your friends have been doing the same things.

Search the forum to find the info.

Google has now stopped providing the weather api used in the portlet so it is not usable until updated to a new API

It's already been fixed.

If you want to check code then look into WeatherWebCacheItem.java .
Old code with google API was like this

public Object convert(String key) throws WebCacheException {
		Weather weather = null;

		try {
			String text = HtmlUtil.stripComments(HttpUtil.URLtoString(
				"https://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=" +
					HttpUtil.encodeURL(_zip)));

			int x = text.indexOf("temp_f data");

			x = text.indexOf("\"", x) + 1;

			int y = text.indexOf("\"", x);

			float temperature = GetterUtil.getFloat(text.substring(x, y));

			x = text.indexOf("/images", x);
			y = text.indexOf("\"", x);

			String iconURL = "https://www.google.com" + text.substring(x, y);

			weather = new Weather(_zip, iconURL, temperature);
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			throw new WebCacheException(_zip);
		}

		return weather;
	}

And new code with API change

 public Object convert(String key) throws WebCacheException {
		Weather weather = null;

		try {
			StringBundler sb = new StringBundler(5);

			sb.append("http://free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?key=");
			sb.append(WeatherPropsUtil.get("world.weather.online.api.key"));
			sb.append("&q=");
			sb.append(HttpUtil.encodeURL(zipName));
			sb.append("&format=xml");
			
			String xml = HtmlUtil.stripComments(HttpUtil.URLtoString(sb.toString()));

			Document document = SAXReaderUtil.read(xml);

			Element rootElement = document.getRootElement();

			Element currentConditionElement = rootElement.element(
				"current_condition");

			Element temperatureElement = currentConditionElement.element("temp_F");

			float temperature = GetterUtil.getFloat(temperatureElement.getData());

			Element iconElement = currentConditionElement.element("weatherIconUrl");

			String iconURL = iconElement.getText();

			weather = new Weather(zipName, iconURL, temperature);
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			throw new WebCacheException(zipName);
		}

		return weather;
	}
