• Seasons change in sync with nature.

Your web-site visitor can

• Time-scroll - see weather at any moment (in the future) by moving the scroller or
• Select a day to display

You can adept YoWindow to

• use your own back-ground picture

Where does YoWindow takes the CURRENT weather from?

YoWindow takes the current cloudiness conditions as clouds, mist and so on from a METAR station.

$SITE["METAR"]          = "EBBR";

YoWindow gadget on the startpage as primary forecaster?

$SITE["fctOrg"] 	= "yowindow";

A special crossdomain.xml file should be in your server ROOT directory.

crossdomain.xml is used on the web to allow outside web-servers to connect to your server.
You need to open an access to our yowindow.com web-server, to let the YoWindow widget load PWS data from your server.

crossdoamin.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="true"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

To understand the use of crossdomain.xml visit http://yowindow.com/widget_and_pws.php

You find a usable copy of this file in weather28/_my_texts/ with the name zz_crossdomain.xml.

You should rename it to crossdomain.xml and move it to the root of your website.

Check if there is a crossdomain.xml in the root of your website and if it is valid.

The yowindow script is wsDashYowindow.php

#       The ID (YoWindowPlaceID) for your city can be either from a geoname id or from the latitude / longitude
#               geoname id:  http://yowindow.com/id  to get that numeric city number example:  2796012=herent, 2783612=wilsele
#       DEFAULT lat-lon comes from the wsUserSettings.php
#$yowindow_place_ID      = '2792482';            // 2792482 = leuven
$use_yow_lat_lon        = true;                //  set to true and the latitude/longitude will be used, the  $YoWindowPlaceID will not be used     

Default your location is calculated by yowindow based on the station latitude longitude setting as you set in wsUserSettings.php For performance reasons you could choose to find the gn yourself and enter it in the setting.

#       The name of your city in the right part of the gadget
$yowindow_location_name = $SITE['organ'];       // use the same name as in the rest of the template
#$yowindow_location_name= 'type your own name'; // remove # to add your own name
#$yowindow_location_name= '';                   // remove # and leave as ''; to use the name from the yowindow database

Default your own stations name is copied from your settings.

Choose from

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#       The landscape
$yow_landscape	        = 'village';
#$yow_landscape	        = 'seaside';            // select the landscape by removing the commment mark # at one landscape  only
#$yow_landscape	        = 'oriental';           // put the comment mark # at the unwanted landscapes
. . . more 

The continuous development of yowindo somtimes disrupts the correct functioning. A local "last good' copy is inside the template and can be used then. Omdat het yowindow programma steeds verder ontwikkeld wordt, gebeurt het wel eens dat er ernstige performance problemen zijn of dat er vreemde fouten optreden.

$use_yow_site           = false;      

Yowindow prefers its own database of applicable metars. sometimes they differ to much from your local situation. You can choose your own metar here.

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#       use metar set in wsUserSettings.php, || your own || let yowindow decide (default)
$yow_metar              = $SITE['METAR'];       // metar as in settings
#$yow_metar              = 'EBBR';              // another metar for yowindow
#$yow_metar              = '';                   // the metar yowindow wants to use
