Description Josh Metzler 2003-12-15 20:29:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be nice if I could select an alternate weather source for
KWeather (e.g. www.weather.com or www.weatherunderground.com).

if this can be reliably done, it would be a big step forward. for example, weather.com has additional four cities in latvia that noaa does not have, it certainly has forecasts etc.

if they have city codes, there must be a way to overcome this in gui/configuration.

1. show a tree that is grouped by information source
+noaa
+www.weather.com
\|-country1
 |-country2

etc. this might be easier to implement, but would be bad from usability viewpoint. a better solution :

2. show country/city tree with available services as columns
country    noaa   weather.com   wunderground.com
+country1                             
+country2
\|city1     x          x               x
 |city2     -          o               o

in this case user can easily select several cities (depends on bug 106263 :) ) and/or services.

x represents checked checkbox, - represents empty checkbox and o represents an icon that notices that particular service does not have data for particular city.

if this functionality can be fully achieved, kweather would be something to really boast about :)

kweather isn't maintained anymore. A replacement could be the weather plasmoid. 

If this bug is still valid for the weather plasmoid please open a bug against it (Product: plasma, Component: widget-weather).
