Tip for new block "Meteogram (ALADIN)- Slovakia"

Post by mpca86 » Sun Jan 28, 2018 8:53 pm

Something similar to the "meteogramGR" but shows meteograms from slovak webiste http://www.shmu.sk/en/?page=1&id=meteo_ ... esto=31500

(I tried but I do not know why it does not show me a new one block in Installed blocks. Only block name is displayed without version number, etc. )

Hi,
the problem in this case is that it is an image, not a set of data. So it is not possible to adapt the design to the template, to translate it, to scale it etc. It is one large aggregated image. You would need to find some machine-readable data source (which I think SHMU does not provide, just like CHMU here in CZ, open-data is not very supported by these institutes..

Thank you for your response. So I know how to do it for one location from "Blank block" and so I'm just for my personal use.

Hi,
yes, you can simply use some image block and insert the whole thing as an image, because it is one large image file
