[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-1856) Weather portlet doesn't recognise other units
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1856?page=comments#action_1239... ]
Thomas Heute commented on JBPORTAL-1856:
----------------------------------------
Next efforts we would do regarding that portlet would be to use weather.com info
directly.
If you are interested to write such a portlet we can point you to their API. That would be
a great contribution
Weather portlet doesn't recognise other units
---------------------------------------------
Key: JBPORTAL-1856
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1856
Project: JBoss Portal
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Affects Versions: 2.6.3 Final
Environment: Debian, JBoss 4.2.1.GA
Reporter: dpocock
Change the portlet instance preferences to use the URL for Paris, with Centigrade instead
of Farenheit:
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=FRXX0076&u=c
The portlet displays the temperate values in centigrade, but with the symbol `F'.
E.g., if the temperature is 5 degrees C, the portlet says 5F.
Looking at the RSS feed in the browser, it appears that it supplies the correct units:
<yweather:location city="Paris" region=""
country="FR"/>
<yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km"
pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
<yweather:wind chill="-5" direction="70"
speed="11.27" />
<yweather:atmosphere humidity="76" visibility="9.99"
pressure="0" rising="0" />
<yweather:astronomy sunrise="8:44 am" sunset="5:04 pm"/>
