Administrator Manual¶

Target group: Administrators

Describes how to manage the extension from an administrator point of view.

General¶

Configuration¶

Storage Page¶

Create a storage page

Refer to it in the scheduler task

Also refer to it in the plugin

Multi plugin use¶

You can configure your scheduler task to save data to a specific storage page that you can later use in the plugin to access data. There is also an option to display only specific rows. Please use the field “name” to do this. In the plugin you can configure which “name” to use. To select the latest entry use the empty field.

Change timezone¶

Go into your TYPO3-Install tool and change the timezone under All configuration -> System -> phpTimeZone. This will change the timezone

Current Weather (Weather Report)¶

Installation¶

How do I get set up?¶

Create a new http://openweathermap.org account and copy your api key

Download the extension from the TYPO3 extension repository

Enable the scheduler extension in your TYPO3 installation if not already done

Create a new scheduler task from type (class) Call openweathermap.org api (weather2)

Configure the scheduler by filling out the required fields. Please Note that the field “name” is later used to only display specific records

Create a new content element with the weather extension plugin selected

Select the measure units and city to display

Add extension template file to your template

Enjoy! ;)

This is how the content element plugin looks like

Read the user manual to get an output on your website.

Update from 2.x to 2.0.4¶

Because of a security patch of TYPO3 all of our weather2 scheduler tasks can not be unserialized anymore. For you it is not possible anymore to delete, modify or start any task as you can not open scheduler module. Further no task will be executed anymore by Cronjob. Please visit Upgrade module of TYPO3 and execute our UpgradeWizard to update our tasks in DB.

Update from 1.x to 2.x¶

There are breaking changes if you´re updating weather2 from 1.x to 2.x. This chapter is about how to fix those breaking changes.

Update weather2 using composer or the extension manager.

If you´re using composer you may need to disable and enable the extension using the extension manager or using the database analyzer to get the new database structure.

Clear all caches.

Open the scheduler module

Edit all tasks from type Call openweathermap.org api. Directly save them after the click on edit. You don´t need to change any fields inside here.
