PaleDNN Weather Module

The PaleDNN Weather Module is the most fully featured Weather Module available for DotNetNuke today. Although the module is designed to be simple to use right out of the box for the most common applications, it is also built to integrate seamlessly into social networking solutions and other situations where more flexibility is required.

 Feature List

 

  • Fully customizable via CSS and HTML templates.
  • Can display the current weather forecast virtually anywhere in the world, by city name or by U.S. Postal Code.
  • Administrator can specify the default temperature scale (Fahrenheit or Celsius).
  • Administrator can specify whether to allow users to be able to search for the current forecast of any city, or to  hide that section.
  • Administrator can specify whether or not to display a link to the detailed weather forecast on Yahoo! Weather.
  • Administrator can enter location via plain text, instead of looking up location ID and entering it manually.
  • A location can be dynamically passed into the module through the QueryString in multiple formats including geocoding.
  • Administrator can specify the time format and units of scale.
  • Fully localized, with language support for both English and German included.
