Description:

Needs (sudo apt install plasma-widgets-addons) if you don't already have the default KDE weather widget installed.

A simple desktop weather widget based on the default KDE widget that shows the current temp, forecast, and min/max temperature.

While useful for users, this can also serve as an example widget for other developers to use as a starting point to create their own weather widget.

Layout based on: https://www.deviantart.com/speedracker/art/Simple-Weather-Conky-Manager-587605695

Shows Environment Canada weather warnings (can be turned off).

If you'd like to play around with the CurrentWeatherView, edit the files in:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/

To test, use:
plasmawindowed com.github.zren.simpleweather

If you wish to upload a fork to the KDE Store, please make sure to edit X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name in metadata.desktop beforehand. Follow the instructions in the tutorial below:

I suggest to add https://openweathermap.org as a data source to cover more areas.

Looks great! Unfortunatly I can't get it to work, I receive the following error: "Error loading QML file: file:///home/baronbas/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/main.qml:10:2: Type WeatherData unavailable
file:///home/baronbas/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/WeatherData.qml:7:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.weather" is not installed"

Any clue how to get this package, I can't find it anywhere?

You appear to not have the default weather widget installed, you need to have the kdeplasma-addons package, but it was broken up into 3-4 packages. You will need:

sudo apt install plasma-widgets-addons

Looks like I don't mention that in the widget's description, I'll add that now.

Hi! I can't get this to work. While trying to configure it shows me an error message
"Error: Could not load: file:///home/user/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/config/ConfigGeneral.qml:119 Cannot assign to non-existent property "onCheckedChanged".

Sounds like the Kirigami API is different as I only bind to that signal in Kirigami.FormData.onCheckedChanged.

What version of kirigami do you have? It's part of KDE Frameworks (I'm using 5.61.0 in Manjaro). What Linux distro are you using? Also, what version of Qt do you have?

Thanks for fast answering! I installed Kubuntu (18.04.3 LTS) three days ago with a minimal installation.
I din't have Kirigami neither Qt installed. I installed newest Kirigami (qml-module-org-kde-kirigami: 1.1.0-2) and rebooted computer, but I got the same error message. Haven't tried Qt yet and I'm not sure which package I should install just for Plasmoids

Zren

You definitely have Qt installed. Just open the "Info Center" app to check.

It looks like Kubuntu 18.04 only has Frameworks 5.44, and the "checked" feature was added in 5.46 which is why it's not breaking earlier and complaining about Kirigami.FormLayout which was adding in Frameworks 5.42.

You can manually delete the outline control in:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/config/ConfigGeneral.qml

and opening the config should work.

-----

Normally I would recommend installing the Kubuntu Backports, as it looks like it has the KDE Frameworks 5.47. But since you still get Plasma Desktop 5.12 with the backports there isn't much point I think.

* https://zren.github.io/kde/#kubuntu-backports-ppa
* https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/plasma-framework
* plasma-framework 5.47.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu18.04~ppa1
* https://launchpad.net/%7Ekubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/+index?batch=75&direction=backwards&memo=750&start=675

* https://github.com/KDE/kirigami/commit/6ac4e62002ae2a30aad5b253c6bec53e89061e72

I'm using the newer "plasma config" API, so I guess it's breaking. I could upload an older version of the widget without the "outline color" feature, or... just not using that api feature... lame.

How can I get the big temperature as shown in your screenshot? Instead I have the weather icon...

Zren
6 months ago

The wetter.com data source does not have the "current temp" data. It only has the current day's "forecast" data which includes the weather type, icon, and min + max temp. I already display the min/max temp, so I used today's "forecast icon".

The solution is to use another data source if one is available.

janet

I see. I was just irritated because your screenshot shows the current temperature. It's also fine with the icon. Is there a way to display the min/max temperature besode the icon in bigger font size?

Zren

A configurable font size for the min/max temp and the current condition text as been added to v6.

I found a bug. The temperature doesn't display in wetter.com, always show 0ºC. For example in Almassora, Valencia.

Zren

Plasma's wetter.com data source either does not parse the current temperature from the API, or the API does not provide it. That is why this widget will instead show the current weather icon instead of the current temp.
