Version 6 incorporates many enhancements suggested by users, including easier creation of locations, choice of 24, 12, or 3 hour forecasts, and better memory handling. We have also revamped the Z Content website, which now includes a forum where Z Weather users can communicate with the auther and with each other.

NOTICE: If you use the current observation feature of Z Weather, you may have noticed the current observation has stopped updating. The reason for this is the NWS has moved the observation data to a different location on the server Z Weather uses to retrieve the data. Version 6 Beta 3 of Z Weather resolves this issue and is available for download by clicking here. If you wish to update your Z Weather installation manually, you can modify the components/com_zweather/zweather.class.php file and look for the following line:

3rd Anniversary Celebration Continues With the Release of Z Weather Plugin |
|
|
|
|
The 3rd anniversary celebration continues the month of October with a brand new product from Z Content. The Z Weather plugin is a new way to display weather data on your website. With the plugin, you can now directly insert weather data into your articles. It can be as simple as the current temperature or it can be a css styled layout with forecasts and current conditions for one or more locations. You no longer need to be a programmer to create a custom weather report. If you can use the Joomla editor, you can create a custom weather report.
The Z Weather plugin takes advantage of the new architecture developed for Z Weather version 6 that allows for the retrieval of nearly any weather data element in the XML data provided by the National Weather Service. The plugin is now available for download in our download section. For documentation on how to use the plugin as well as live demos, visit the support section.
(BTW, did you know that it is currently Overcast and 45.0°F in New York City?) |

Z Weather Version 6 Beta 4 Released, Cron Job Now Supported |
|
|
|
|
The Version 6 Beta 4 release of Z Weather now supports the use of a cron job to update the weather data in the background. Available in previous Joomla 1.0 releases of Z Weather, the cron job in Version 6 Beta 4 update weather data in the background for either Joomla 1.0 or Joomla 1.5 sites. The cron job feature provides better site performance because website visitor sessions are no longer needed to retrieve the weather data from the National Weather Service. The cron job can now run either on the same host as the web server or from a separate host. See the readme file for the cron job for installation instructions.
