Projects - Programming - Wiki - Aviation Data

This plugin will show the aviation data for a given airport. It pulls the METAR data from the NOAA, parses it, and displays the information as an unordered list.

Download the plugin here: Aviation Data Plugin

Installation instructions:

  1. Unzip the plugin and put it in your plugins folder of your wiki
  2. To use the plugin, on any page just enter the code:
    {{aviation>station=AIRPORTCODE}}

It’s that easy!

In action:

  • Station : KPSC
  • Time : 2009/01/07 11:53
  • Wind : 18.41SW
  • Visibility : 10
  • Weather :
  • Sky Conditions : overcast 7500
  • Temperature/Dewpoint : 55.4/44.6
  • Pressure : 29.83

How it works:

The plugin gets data from the NOAA, and passes it through a parser, then formats the results. Pretty simple.
