Agenda and weather forecast

Agenda and weather forecast

[Julien Danjou]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 418 bytes --]

Hi folks,

If anybody is interested, I've wrote an small extension to put some
weather forecasts in the agenda.

It can be found here[1]. I've blogged about it yesterday, so if you're
curious you can read the entry[2].

Happy hacking,

Hi Julien,

This looks really cool.

I downloaded google-weather-el-236b269, and stuck 
%%(org-google-weather)
at the top of one of my org files, but when building the agenda, Emacs
complains, after contacting host www.google.com:80, 
bad sexp at line 1 in /home/sjg/share/notes/journal.org: (org-google-weather)

I tried calling directly
(google-weather-get-data "New York")
but I just get

Contacting host: www.google.com:80
Reading 453 bytes...
save-current-buffer: Search failed: "

"

It's not leaving anything around in a buffer for me to see what data
it did or didn't fetch.

Any suggestions?

cheers,
Simon

Wonderful. Works out of the box and looks nice. 

I had °F at first instead of °C what I would prefer. I'm in Germany;
adding ("DE" . "°C") in the customization of "Google Weather Unit System
Temperature Assoc" didn't help. In the screenshot I noticed that you
have a string "en-gb" which is not documented. Sounds like
"English-GB", although you are in Paris. I also added this string, and I
have °C now. Is that the correct way?

BTW, which color-theme are you using? Is it zenburn? Looks nice and
clean. 

Thanks for org-google-weather,

Sven

Re: Agenda and weather forecast | language and units

[Juan Pechiar]

Hi,

The google API determines the unit system (C or F) based on the
language parameter (smart guys?!).

Ths parameter goes after the city in the call to org-google-weather:

E.g. %%(org-google-weather "Montevideo,Uruguay" "es")

This extension is magic!

P.S. Cannot install into Notepad.exe   :-)

For those not on a linux/gnome system, you can get an icon set from
google.

It is really beautiful extension. 

I would like to ask one question. I would like to be able
to do several forecast for different locations. 
For example I had the following entries : 
%%(org-google-weather "Paris" "FR")
%%(org-google-weather "Caen" "FR")

In the agenda I have the forecasts for the two locations but 
I have no idea on the output about the related locations. 
I have following ouput :

  Agenda:     icon Couverture nuageuse partielle, 13-24 °C
  Agenda:     icon Brouillard, 13-23 °C

How can we had the locations. Something like :

  Agenda:     *Paris*, icon Couverture nuageuse partielle, 13-24 °C
  Agenda:     *Caen*, icon Brouillard, 13-23 °C

Ah. I see. It's working after I've added "de".

I have done that this way:

** Wetter
*** Bochum
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CATEGORY: Wetter in BO
   :END:
%%(org-google-weather "Bochum" "de")
*** Heidelberg
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: Wetter in HD
    :END:
%%(org-google-weather "Heidelberg" "de")

Greetings,

Re: Re: Agenda and weather forecast | multiple forecasts

[Juan]

A simple way is to use the category declaration:

#+CATEGORY: Paris
%%(org-google-weather "Paris" "FR")
#+CATEGORY: Caen
%%(org-google-weather "Caen" "FR")
#+CATEGORY: Agenda
... other stuff

I had the same trouble at first. Fixed by making sure
that 

%%(org-google-weather) 

isn't literally "at the top" of a .org file. 

I'm a newbie for org-mode, but it seems that entry needs to be below
at least one "*"; the following works, e.g.

(top of file)
%-----------------------------------
* Weather
#+CATEGORY: Weather
%%(org-google-weather "Boston" "en-us")

Yeah, but this is totally undocumented. I found the "en-gb" by trying
various random strings.

I wanted english text in °C, and that's the way I found. If you put "en"
you will have °F.

If you want german in °F… I think you're screwed up I think. :-)

People gave you the category trick already.

OTOH, I'll add the possibility to customize the returned string soon.

Thank you for your answer. 

In fact I was thought that the information was already
in expression (org-google-weather "Paris" "FR") and 
the way was to extract it. But I like your suggestion.

Hi Julien,

I like this a lot!  Thanks!

Would it be possible to have the weather entry inherit the tags of the
parent task?  This would allow multiple location entries like this with
tag filtering to limit the display to the desired items only.

As it is now multiple entries in the agenda are always present.

Apply my tiny patch from the other thread (or just customize
org-google-icon-alist to fix the missing "." in chance_of_storm).
Strangely, it's the chance of a storm in your location, and not the
location itself that's causing the bad sexp error. Talk about a bug
depending on the weather!

I don't think this is something related to org-google-weather. Isn't
is related to Org property inheritance directly?

It's not the property I'm interested in -- but the tag on the parent
task.  Other agenda entries show the tag on the right for filtering but
no tags are included on the weather entry.

I am also getting the sexp error. This is what I ave in my org file:

* Weather.
#+CATEGORY: London

%%(org-google-weather "London" "en-gb")

I have tried several other locations with the same result. Any 
suggestions on how to get more debugging info?

Thanks,

Ian.

Certainly impressive!  Your fellow Debian developer Jordi Mallach just
told me about your Emacs projects this morning and I've been having a
look at them.  For instance, the OfflineIMAP and Google Maps modes also
look great.  Keep the good work! :)

Together with the recent patch, this works just fine.  Now using

Sorted now. It was something to do with the order that things were
listed in my .emacs. Thanks for this great addition to org!

Julien,

this works very well!  Thanks.

I have one simple question: how can I ask it to give me temperatures
in degrees C?

Thanks again,
eric

So following suit I set my google weather thing to:

%%(org-google-weather "Beijing" "ZH-CN")

Because I'm in China, right? But when the entries show up in my agenda,
that all look like:

domestic:   icon  Çç, 17-33 ℃

(icon is a sun, "domestic" is the name of the file I put the weather
statement in). So the cedillas... Something's definitely off with
encoding -- where do I start to look? My language environment is utf-8,
I've got Chinese fonts, if that's the problem... What else?

Thanks!
Eric

Re: Agenda and weather forecast

[d.tchin]

Hi,

Just to follow previous discussion about having city.

Julien Danjou add a new entry in org-google-weather-format
that allows to get City for which the weather is asked for.
It is possible to customize this variable. 

The default format is "%i %c, %l-%h %s" . 
If you can add %C for city : "%C %i %c, %l-%h %s".

For example I have the following entry :

#+CATEGORY: Meteo 
%%(org-google-weather "Caen" "FR")


When I display agenda, I have the following :

 Meteo:      Caen, Lower-Normandy icon  Couverture nuageuse partielle, 12-22 ℃

Curiously, I have the city following by the region in english whereas the 
other outputs are in french as expected.

That's probably my fault. I don't know well the Emacs API, and my
tempting to encode correctly the data fetched from the Web is probably
not bullet-proof. So it might be that.

The code is in `google-weather-retrieve-data':

      (decode-coding-region
       (point) (point-max)
       (detect-coding-region (point) (point-max) t))
      (set-buffer-multibyte t)
      (setq data (xml-parse-region (point) (point-max)))

This may not be the good way to do it. zh-cn pages seems to be in GB2312
encoding.

Any hint welcome.

Re: Agenda and weather forecast

[Christopher Allan Webber]

There have been a number of complaints about missing sexp that seem to
be unrelated to the "storm" bug.  It seems that if "loop" from the
cl-macs package is not already loaded a sexp error appears.

Adding (require 'cl) seems to fix things; patch included.
