We'll create fresh WordPress site with Ventus – Weather Map Widget & Shortcode installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
Ventus allows you to easily embed the windy.com widget on your website, in the form of a native WordPress widget (accessible from Appearance > Widgets) or as a simple shortcode.
It is a lightweight plugin built using an object-oriented approach, and follows WordPress Coding Standards.
The shortcode accepts up to 16 attributes. You can simply use [ventus]
and it will work (or the old shortcode [weather-map]
which will continue to work), but you will most likely want to customise the remaining attributes yourself.
An example of a fully filled-out shortcode would be:
[ventus width="100%" height="350px" radius="20px" loading="lazy" lat="53.199" lon="-7.603" zoom="4" layer="wind" level="surface" scale="C" units="knots" pressure="true" marker="true" model="ecmwf" forecast="true" time="12"]
The attributes can be set as follows:
width
attribute accepts any valid CSS property for width.height
attribute accepts any valid CSS property for height.radius
attribute accepts any valid CSS property for border-radius.loading
attribute accepts either lazy or eager. The default is lazy loading.lat
attribute must contain a string of digits to three decimal places, in the range of -90 to +90 (e.g. “53.199”). lon
attribute must also contain a string of digits to three decimal places, in the range of -180 to +180 (e.g. “-120.894”). zoom
attribute must contain a number between 3 and 11 (inclusive).layer
attribute accepts the following values: clouds, cosc (CO concentration), currents, gust, radar, rain, snowcover, sst (sea temperature), temp (standard temperature), waves and wind.level
attribute (only effective when the layer is wind or temp) accepts the following values: surface, 100m, 950h (600m), 925h (750m), 900h (900m), 850h (1500m), 800h (2000m), 700h (3000m), 600h (4200m), 500h (5500m), 400h (7000m), 300h (9000m), 250h (10000m), 200h (11700m) and 150h (13500m).scale
attribute accepts either “C” or “F”, defining Celsius and Fahrenheit respectively.units
attribute accepts the following values: bft (beaufort), km/h (kilometers per hour), kt (knots), m/s (meters per second) and mph (miles per hour).pressure
attribute can be set to true to display pressure isolines, otherwise the isolines will remain hidden.marker
attribute can also be set to true, otherwise it will remain hidden.forecast
attribute can be set to true to display the spot forecast, otherwise it will remain hidden.time
attribute accepts the following values: now (the default), 12 (12 hours from now) and 24 (24 hours from now).model
