Simbe Weather Ticker

Simbe Weather Ticker shows the current weather for the towns you pick, either as a scrolling ticker or as a table.

• Scrolling ticker with weather icon, town name and temperature
• Weather table with sortable columns
• Town search built in, no API key needed
• Celsius or Fahrenheit
• Works with shortcodes and blocks
• Caches responses so your pages stay fast

Data comes from Open-Meteo, which needs no account or API key. Open-Meteo asks every plugin and site to credit them, so the ticker and the table link back:

• Terms of Use: https://open-meteo.com/en/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://open-meteo.com/en/terms#privacy
• Data licence (CC BY 4.0): https://open-meteo.com/en/licence

Usage Shortcodes:

• [simbe_weather_ticker] - scrolling ticker with all configured towns
• [simbe_weather_ticker towns="london,paris"] - only the towns you name
• [simbe_weather_ticker theme="light" duration="25" condition="yes"] - lighter and faster
• [simbe_weather_table] - table with all configured towns
• [simbe_weather_table columns="icon,condition,wind" orderby="temp" order="desc"] - chosen columns, warmest first

Blocks:

• Weather Ticker
• Weather Table

Configuration Go to Settings > Simbe Weather Ticker, search for a town and press Add. Use the arrow buttons to change the order, Remove to drop a town, or Add town manually to enter coordinates yourself. Everything else on that screen is a default for the shortcodes and blocks. The panel at the bottom of the settings screen records recent save attempts, which is useful if you need to report a problem.

• Renamed the plugin to Simbe Weather Ticker and moved it to the simbe-weather-ticker slug, so the plugin now has a distinctive name and its prefixes are no longer generic.
• The shortcodes are now [simbe_weather_ticker] and [simbe_weather_table]. Please update any existing posts, and note that the settings screen moves to Settings > Simbe Weather Ticker.
• The blocks are now Weather Ticker and Weather Table under the Simbe Weather Ticker name.
• Settings are stored under a new namespaced option, so towns have to be added again after the update.
