Summary
-------
This module allows for your Drupal site to connect to http://yr.no and gather weather forecast data to display in a page view and one or several blocks on your site.


Theming
-------
Theming can be done via CSS and/or using Drupal's theme hooks. See the yr_verdata.module file for documentation on the theme hooks that are available.
You can use custom symbols for weather and wind if want to. Note that the implementations in this module are actually theme functions, so you could alter these entirely to fit your own needs through theme hooks.


Configuration and usage
-----------------------
* Configure the module at 'admin/settings/yr_verdata'.
* Add locations at 'forecast/add'.
* Delete locations from the table at 'forecast'.
* A list of locations can be seen at 'forecast', and in a block (or several blocks if you activate the multiblock feature at 'admin/settings/yr_verdata') which is available at admin/build/blocks.


Upgrading
---------
Upgrades are in place for:
- 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x
- 6.x-1.x to 7.x-1.x
- 6.x-2.x to 7.x-1.x
Everything should be converted automatically, just overwrite the old module folder and run the upgrade script.
Note: If you upgrade from 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x and plan to move to Drupal 7 after that, cron must be run at least once while using 6.x-2.x before moving to the 7.x-1.x branch.


Requirements
------------
PHP 5 and cURL for all branches.


Recommended
-----------
Install and enable Jquery UI (http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui) for a progressively enhanced forecast page.
Jquery UI enhancements are tested with jquery 1.2.x/jquery ui 1.6 and jquery 1.3.x/jquery ui 1.7/1.8. Install the jquery_update module to get jquery 1.3.x in your Drupal 6 installation.
