I have just created a NEW eventghost plugin for retrieving weather information (from a webservice) to use in EventGhost.
Attached is the zip file with the new plugin.
to use it:
1) Extract attached zipfile in the plugins directory of eventghost.
2) Add the Weather plugin in the tree.
3) Add / configure the actions from the weather plugin as needed.
Have also attached a sample eventghost configuration file (SampleWeather.xml).
PS: this is quite nice in combination with the Speech plugin to let the PC tell the current weather and weatherforecast on command, and becomes very powerfull in conjunction with my SpeechRecognition Plugin posted somewhere else in this forum, to just ask for the weather / weather forecast.
Feel free to add in next release as plugin.
Also Let me know any issues. This is tested on Windows xp and since it is a webservice an internetconnection is needed
02-11-2009: I deleted version 1 and version 1.1 and have attached a new version 1.2 of the weather plugin, which also includes a getter for the individual field values. Please use this version instead in case you already downloaded the old version. See new attached sample file for how to retrieve the info.
Limitation Note: Before configuring the GetWeatherFieldValue Action, first execute GetWeatherFromGoogle Action Once sucessfully to retrieve the available configuration fields to select from in the GetWeatherFieldValue Action .
Also added a ResultLogger Action for convenience while configuring, and for demo, and updated sample xml file again
NOTE: Icon path returned needs to be prefixed with http://www.google.com to get the picture, in case you want to use these icons I recommend loading them local and refering from the local directory to them in your code.
