Nice, thank you, never made org-google-weather, but this works
out-of-the-box:
,-------------------------------------------------
| City: Weather: light rain, 10.43°C - 17.58°C
`-------------------------------------------------
A few suggestions wrt
,--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| (defun org-weather-add-to-cache (item)
| "Adds the one result 'list' item to the data cache"
| (let* ((timestr (cdr (assoc 'dt item)))
| (cache-key (format-time-string "%F" (seconds-to-time timestr)))
| (weather (cdr (assoc 'weather item)))
| (temperature (cdr (assoc 'temp item)))
| (temp-min (number-to-string (org-weather-temp-min temperature)))
| (temp-max (number-to-string (org-weather-temp-max temperature)))
| (data (concat (org-weather-description weather) ", "
| temp-min org-weather-unit " - " temp-max org-weather-unit)))
| (puthash cache-key data org-weather-data)))
`--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- why not use (round ...) for the temperature data, 10-17°C would be
more than accurate enough?
- why not include city/country info in the weather string? I added
* Weather
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: City
:END:
%%(org-weather)
to get the above, but it would be much better to take the return
values for city/country and include them in the weather string, to
make sure one did not mess up the configuration and gets the weather
from another place than expected.
- maybe make the whole thing a bit customizable by adding a few
defcustoms, so the user can decide which info he wants to print in the
agenda
the return string looks like this, there are many options:
