iWDL

IWDL is a project mainly written in JAVASCRIPT and SHELL, it's free.

iPhone Weather Display Live

A few hints:

  • Have a look at http://sietse.net/iwdl-info It contains lots of information about this software.

  • Unpack this software somewhere on your webserver; it must be on the same webserver as your clientraw files

  • Keep this software together (when unpacking, it is in directory iwdl)

  • rename iwdl_settings.js.sample to iwdl_settings.js

  • edit iwdl_settings.js

  • make sure the clientraw file(s) are on the same domainname as iWDL; cross-domain loading is not allowed

  • make sure the clientraw_dir really is correct on your server; it is the directory you would use in your browser, e.g. if your url would be: http://sietse.net/wdl2/clientraw.txt then the directory is /wdl2

  • For the best iPhone experience, create a link on your springboard:

    • surf with safari to your iwdl
    • press the + in the bottom toolbar
    • Select 2nd option (put on home screen)
    • Close safari, and tap on the newly created icon
    • Now you will see iwdl full screen, no safari toolbars.

Plans:

  • Weather icons for current weather state
  • Startup screen when run from safari
  • ... let me know!
