00:00:04
in this tutorial I will show you how you
00:00:07
can use weather widget Tadeo
00:00:09
to quickly create a weather widget for
00:00:11
your website the widgets are totally
00:00:14
free
00:00:15
they are very customizable and they are
00:00:17
available in several different languages
00:00:20
they are also fully responsive this
00:00:23
means that the widget will expand to
00:00:25
fill its container so it can fit nicely
00:00:28
in a sidebar of any size and then it can
00:00:30
automatically expand to fit in the main
00:00:33
content area it will also look great on
00:00:35
the smaller screens of phones and
00:00:38
tablets in this tutorial I will first
00:00:41
create an embed a widget in an example
00:00:44
web site and then we will do the same
00:00:46
for a wordpress site in the end we will
00:00:50
go over every field in the interface and
00:00:52
I will offer to you some useful tips
00:00:57
this is the first example website we are
00:00:59
going to work with and what I want to do
00:01:02
is to add a weather widget here in the
00:01:05
sidebar under the menu so let's get to
00:01:10
our code editor let's ow and the page I
00:01:14
would like our wicked to go to and then
00:01:17
let's scroll down to find the correct
00:01:20
place to embed our widget so here is a
00:01:23
sidebar here is the menu here is where
00:01:28
the menu ends so here is where we would
00:01:32
like to place our widget so now let's
00:01:35
get to the weather wicked to die our web
00:01:38
site and let's say we would like to add
00:01:42
weather widget for Sydney so in the
00:01:46
select location input box let's type
00:01:49
Sydney let's select it from the drop
00:01:54
down as you can see the weather details
00:01:58
of Sydney are now loaded in the widget
00:02:00
then we click the get code button
00:02:03
we copy the code and then we return to
00:02:07
our code editor and paste it to our
00:02:10
chosen location we save then we return
00:02:15
to our website we refresh and as you can
00:02:20
see the widget has been successfully
00:02:22
embedded in our website if we wanted we
00:02:25
could stop here but we will continue
00:02:28
because we want to make this weather
00:02:31
widget better much the look and feel of
00:02:33
our website so let's get back to the
00:02:37
weather widget or Die or website and
00:02:39
let's change to options let's change the
00:02:42
forecast days from 75 and let's choose a
00:02:48
different theme let's use this pure one
00:02:53
it will probably fit our design better
00:02:56
now let's click the get code button
00:02:59
again to get the updated code click here
00:03:03
to copy the code and then let's get back
00:03:07
to our ready door copy the new code over
00:03:10
the old one save the changes now let's
00:03:13
get back to our website refresh it and
00:03:17
now we have a widget that fits much
00:03:21
better with this website but let's not
00:03:25
stop here let's make it a blend even
00:03:28
better with our website so what I'm
00:03:30
going to do next is as we have this
00:03:34
heading down here I'm gonna add the same
00:03:39
here above our weather wiki so let's get
00:03:43
back to our code and you can see here
00:03:46
that heading and as you can see it is
00:03:49
inside this section so I will just copy
00:03:55
this section paste it here
00:04:01
now let's cut our widget
00:04:04
[Music]
00:04:06
and then let's replace everything in
00:04:09
this section apart from the header with
00:04:12
the code with our widget let's save
00:04:16
let's get back to our browser let's
00:04:22
refresh and here is the result obviously
00:04:25
I want to change this heading I wanted
00:04:29
to say Sydney weather so let's get back to our
00:04:33
code le door and change that heading to
00:04:39
say Sydney weather so we get back to our
00:04:43
browser refresh and now we can see it
00:04:47
says Sydney weather but I don't want to
00:04:50
say Sydney weather here so let's go back
00:04:54
to weather widget at i/o let's go to
00:04:57
settings and let's delete the labels
00:05:00
from the widget itself let's get the
00:05:03
code again copy back to our code replace
00:05:08
the old code with a new one save now
00:05:11
let's get back to our website refresh
00:05:13
and here we have the widget without the
00:05:17
label at this point it looks pretty good
00:05:20
and again we could stop here but let's
00:05:24
also do a fully customized solution so
00:05:27
let's get back to weather widget todai
00:05:34
I will choose from the themes then blank
00:05:39
theme which has no colors set so
00:05:43
basically we can start from scratch
00:05:46
[Music]
00:05:47
I will temporarily choose a white
00:05:50
background and now using the developer
00:05:58
tools of our browser let's pick a few
00:06:01
colors from our website so let's select
00:06:05
this heading here let's choose this
00:06:09
orange color from here and we will use
00:06:15
it as the color for the Sun and as the
00:06:18
color for the high temperature next
00:06:23
let's copy this dark grey color which is
00:06:26
used for the headings and we will use
00:06:30
that as the color for our text the text
00:06:34
color is the fallback color for all
00:06:36
other text and icon colors so now all
00:06:42
text and icons apart from the Sun and
00:06:46
high temperature colors which we have
00:06:49
said earlier are now using this dark
00:06:53
gray color so another thing I'd like to
00:06:56
do is to add a blue color for the low
00:07:00
temperature and the rain color now let's
00:07:10
remove that white background we
00:07:12
temporarily added before so the
00:07:15
background of our website will be
00:07:18
visible under our widget next let's
00:07:21
click the get code button copy the new
00:07:25
code get back to our editor paste have a
00:07:31
new code over the old one save the
00:07:36
changes return to our website refresh it
00:07:41
and now have the final result which as
00:07:47
you can see matches perfectly with our
00:07:51
website
00:07:52
[Music]
00:08:01
a few days have passed and now let's say
00:08:04
we would like to make a modification to
00:08:06
our widget let's say we would like to
00:08:09
use a different font the easiest way to
00:08:12
do this change is to first go back to
00:08:15
weather widget attire and to click on
00:08:18
the load code button now as per the
00:08:25
instructions of this window what we need
00:08:28
to do is to paste here the code we
00:08:30
previously created so now we return to
00:08:35
our code editor we open the file where
00:08:39
we had previously created the widget we
00:08:43
scroll down to find it here it is
00:08:48
so we highlight it we copy it and then
00:08:53
we return to weather widget udaya we
00:08:56
paste the code and click the button to
00:08:59
load it now as you can see all our
00:09:03
previous settings have been loaded so we
00:09:06
can now proceed with the change first we
00:09:10
click on the options tab we select a
00:09:13
different font
00:09:18
and then we click the get code button we
00:09:23
copy the new code and we paste it over
00:09:27
the old one we save we return to our
00:09:32
website reload the browser and now our
00:09:36
widget has the new font next we will add
00:09:47
a weather widget to this WordPress
00:09:50
example website what I want to do is to
00:09:54
add it at the top of the sidebar here
00:09:57
and the plan is to make it look like the
00:10:01
other widgets in the sidebar so now
00:10:05
let's go to weather widget to die oh
00:10:08
let's type our location here in this
00:10:12
case it will be London I don't want a
00:10:16
label inside the widget so I will remove
00:10:20
the labels from here in the options I
00:10:23
will now change to a three-day forecast
00:10:26
I will select the blank theme because I
00:10:32
want to customize everything from
00:10:34
scratch
00:10:35
I will customize it I will use a white
00:10:38
background now I'll get back to our
00:10:41
website to pick some colors first I will
00:10:46
pick this red and I will use it as the
00:10:54
color for the high temperature and the
00:10:57
color for the Sun next let's pick this
00:11:04
green color from here
00:11:08
and we'll use that as the cloud color
00:11:15
and last I will pick this dark grey
00:11:22
brown color from the heading and I will
00:11:29
use that for the text color which is
00:11:33
also the fallback color for all other
00:11:37
text and icons now let's get the code
00:11:43
copied then we will go to our WordPress
00:11:49
dashboard under appearance I will select
00:11:55
widgets and what we want to use is this
00:12:00
custom HTML widget so we grab it from
00:12:06
here and drop it at the top of our
00:12:10
sidebar as content we paste the code we
00:12:15
copied earlier from weather widget todai
00:12:18
oh and as a title I will type London
00:12:23
weather and I will save now we return to
00:12:28
the front end of our website and here we
00:12:33
can see the final result
00:12:35
[Music]
00:12:39
you
00:12:43
in this part of the tutorial we'll go
00:12:45
over every field available in the
00:12:47
interface which you can use to create a
00:12:49
widget that perfectly matches your
00:12:50
website the first thing I want to show
00:12:54
you is that you can drag the border on
00:12:56
the right of the widget here to preview
00:13:00
the widget in different sizes note that
00:13:04
this doesn't set the size of the widget
00:13:06
to any specific width because the widget
00:13:09
is responsive and it will always resize
00:13:12
itself to match the width of its
00:13:13
container so if you do want to set the
00:13:17
widget to a specific width like for
00:13:20
example 800 pixels then you have to
00:13:23
place the widget in a container like a
00:13:25
div that has its width set to 800 pixels
00:13:29
so let's now move to the first field in
00:13:34
our settings which is the select
00:13:37
location field here we can enter the
00:13:41
name of any location like city or the
00:13:46
name of a village so if for example we
00:13:49
enter London here we get the weather for
00:13:53
London or we can enter Paris and we get
00:13:59
the weather for Paris or we can enter
00:14:03
let's say we Montreal and we get the
00:14:07
weather for Montreal next we have the to
00:14:11
label fields here and in this field you
00:14:16
can enter anything you want in any
00:14:19
language you want so for example we
00:14:22
could type my hotel weather or my hotel
00:14:29
whatever okay so you can type anything
00:14:33
you want here
00:14:34
or since these fields are optional you
00:14:37
can just use one of them or none of them
00:14:41
they are totally optional and if you
00:14:43
don't want them you
00:14:45
so let's stab it back now
00:14:48
Montreal weather and let's move to the
00:14:53
next field which is the language field
00:14:57
here as you can see there are several
00:15:02
different languages from which you can
00:15:05
choose from Arabic - Bulgarian - French
00:15:19
or crane e'en or Chinese ok so now let's
00:15:28
put it back to english the last field in
00:15:34
the settings section is the units field
00:15:38
and here you can choose between
00:15:41
international units or units used in the
00:15:46
USA the most obvious difference here is
00:15:50
the unit for the temperature so for
00:15:53
international units it is in Celsius
00:15:57
while for the USA units the temperature
00:16:01
is in Fahrenheit but another difference
00:16:05
is between centimeters and inches so if
00:16:09
we hover over an icon here we see that
00:16:12
the snow amount is indicated in inches
00:16:17
but if we change units to international
00:16:22
we can now see that snow is indicated in
00:16:27
centimeters so now let's move to the
00:16:32
options section
00:16:36
the first field here is the phone's
00:16:40
field here you can select among many
00:16:44
different phones some of the phones are
00:16:48
actually phone stacks with what's called
00:16:51
web safe fonts which are found in most
00:16:56
operating systems while the rest are
00:16:59
from Google phones
00:17:02
one thing to note is that the available
00:17:04
phones in this field will depend on the
00:17:08
language selected earlier so if you
00:17:11
let's say you had selected Arabic or
00:17:13
Chinese or Japanese you will see a
00:17:17
different set of fonts here next we move
00:17:22
to the icon set field and as you can see
00:17:25
we have three different icon sets here
00:17:29
with the last option here being an
00:17:32
animated icon set let's go back to the
00:17:41
default for now
00:17:47
in this next field we can select if we
00:17:51
want to show only the current weather or
00:17:55
if we would like to show weather
00:17:58
forecast for today in the next few days
00:18:02
or if we prefer to show both the current
00:18:07
weather and the forecast as a last field
00:18:10
in this section we have the forecast
00:18:13
days and this of course is relevant only
00:18:16
we are showing a forecast if we had
00:18:19
earlier selected to show only the
00:18:21
current weather this field will not be
00:18:23
relevant and here you have the option to
00:18:27
choose between seven five and three days
00:18:33
of forecast
00:18:35
let's select here five for now next
00:18:40
let's move to the themes section here we
00:18:49
have five different types of themes
00:18:55
flood themes gradient themes themes with
00:19:01
pattern themes with an image and the
00:19:06
theme based on the current weather
00:19:08
conditions for the flood themes only
00:19:13
basic flood colors are used the gradient
00:19:20
themes are using a gradient based
00:19:24
background as you can see here
00:19:33
the pattern themes have as a background
00:19:37
smaller repeating image while the image
00:19:44
themes use larger single image for the
00:19:50
whole widget and weather conditions
00:19:55
theme is a special kind of theme which
00:19:58
sets the background and the colors based
00:20:01
on the current weather conditions for
00:20:04
the selected location so in Montreal now
00:20:07
the weather is clear and it is night
00:20:11
so the theme used here is a clear night
00:20:15
sky theme the last section is the
00:20:20
customized section but as you can see we
00:20:24
cannot customize this special weather
00:20:26
conditions theme and this is because
00:20:28
this theme is actually many different
00:20:31
themes one for each kind of weather
00:20:34
condition we can however customize every
00:20:38
other theme so let's choose a flat theme
00:20:44
let's choose this pure one and let's
00:20:51
customize it in the customize section we
00:20:55
can customize the colors for the various
00:20:58
elements of our widget such as the
00:21:00
background the text and the icons so
00:21:04
let's start with the background as you
00:21:07
can see we have a white background here
00:21:09
but we can change it to any color we
00:21:12
want so we can change it to red for
00:21:16
example or we can try this light teal
00:21:21
color we can also use this second column
00:21:25
of the color picker to lower the opacity
00:21:28
in the case of the background color
00:21:30
lowering the opacity will have the
00:21:33
effect of your own websites background
00:21:35
to be visible under the widget for our
00:21:39
example here let's put the opacity back
00:21:41
to
00:21:42
percent the next field is the accent
00:21:45
color which basically defines a
00:21:47
background under the odd-numbered day
00:21:51
columns so that would be the first third
00:21:54
fifth and seventh day columns in this
00:21:59
case as you can see we're using a low
00:22:01
opacity black color and this has the
00:22:04
effect of slightly darkening the
00:22:07
background color but we could also use
00:22:10
color with its full opacity for example
00:22:14
a blue color like this but usually a
00:22:18
better approach for this field is to use
00:22:21
a low opacity black white or gray color
00:22:25
which makes this accent to easily blend
00:22:29
with a background next we have the text
00:22:32
field which sets the color for the
00:22:35
labels the current temperature and
00:22:38
description and the day names so if we
00:22:43
change this field to let's say a dark
00:22:46
blue color
00:22:49
as you can see now the labels the
00:22:53
current temp and description and the day
00:22:57
names are now using this color an
00:23:00
important thing to note is that the text
00:23:03
color is also the default color for all
00:23:06
text and icon elements of the widget so
00:23:10
if any of those colors are not set then
00:23:13
they will also use the text color which
00:23:16
in this case is this dark blue so if for
00:23:20
example I remove the color for the high
00:23:23
temperature as you can see where high
00:23:26
temperature is now displayed with a dark
00:23:29
blue color we defined in the text field
00:23:32
but for this example I will give it a
00:23:36
high temp its own color dark red let's
00:23:41
also change the low temperature to use a
00:23:46
great color the shadow field places a
00:23:53
shadow behind all text and icons this is
00:23:58
really useful in cases of busy image
00:24:00
backgrounds because it helps the text
00:24:04
and icons to pop and become more visible
00:24:07
and we can use the opacity to define how
00:24:12
strong we want this effect to be in
00:24:15
cases of light color themes such as this
00:24:18
one we usually don't need a shadow at
00:24:21
all so I will remove it the Sun color is
00:24:25
used wherever a Sun appears in the icons
00:24:29
so let's change the color to some dark
00:24:35
red color for the Sun the moon color
00:24:39
again it is used wherever there is moon
00:24:43
in an icon same deal with the cloud
00:24:47
color changes the
00:24:50
of the clouds as they appear in the
00:24:52
icons the cloud filled color is only
00:24:56
relevant if we are using the animated
00:24:59
icon set otherwise as you can see it has
00:25:03
no effect but if we now change to the
00:25:10
animated icon set you can now see the
00:25:13
cloud fill color shown in the widget
00:25:16
these red eyes are really much so let's
00:25:19
use white for this field so this next
00:25:23
one is the color for the rain let's use
00:25:28
purple for the rain and you can see the
00:25:34
purple rain here and the last field is
00:25:38
the color for their snow and again we
00:25:42
can use whatever color we want for that
00:25:45
as well
00:25:50
once we are done creating the widget as
00:25:52
we want it we can click on the get code
00:25:57
button we can copy the supplied snippet
00:26:00
and then we can paste it at any place in
00:26:05
any website where we would like the
00:26:07
widget to appear now we will let's say
00:26:10
some days or months have passed and you
00:26:14
want to make some change to your widget
00:26:17
then you can load all your
00:26:20
customizations by clicking on the load
00:26:22
code button and pasting here their
00:26:26
weather widget code you are using in
00:26:28
your website you can then make the
00:26:32
changes you want and get the updated
00:26:35
code to use in your website one last
00:26:42
thing to note is that there is one
00:26:43
important difference in how to customize
00:26:46
the gradient pattern and image themes
00:26:50
gradient themes use a gradient
00:26:52
background which sits behind the
00:26:55
background that you said in the
00:26:56
customize section something similar is
00:26:59
true for the image based themes which
00:27:02
use an image as a background so if we
00:27:06
were to use this clear theme as you can
00:27:09
see the background is set to white with
00:27:12
slightly lowered opacity which allows
00:27:16
the gradient background to be seen we
00:27:20
can then change the white to some
00:27:22
different color
00:27:24
keeping the slightly lowered opacity to
00:27:27
get a gradient using this different
00:27:30
color
00:27:31
the lower we set the opacity the
00:27:33
stronger the gradient effect becomes and
00:27:36
if we were to totally remove our own
00:27:39
background then we will just see the
00:27:42
gradient background which sits behind if
00:27:45
you want no background at all when you
00:27:47
have to start with a flat film in this
00:27:50
case we will use a white with a slightly
00:27:53
lower capacity
00:27:56
and we can adjust the opacity setting to
00:28:00
get the exact effect we want something
00:28:03
similar is true for image based themes
00:28:11
so in this case as you can see we use no
00:28:16
background colour at all so the image
00:28:19
background is fully visible and if we
00:28:23
were to use a background color with 100%
00:28:26
opacity then the image will be hidden so
00:28:29
no point in doing that but what we can
00:28:32
do is use a background color with a
00:28:35
lowered opacity which has the effect of
00:28:38
giving our image different tint
00:28:49
and again if we remove the background
00:28:52
color the background image is shown
00:28:55
without anything added to it whether
00:29:00
Wichita diam is a new project and new
00:29:02
