This is a Sponsored Portlet in the uPortal project.
The Apereo Weather Portlet is a fully-functional JSR-286 Java portlet that provides international weather using either World Weather Online or Yahoo Weather. If permitted, end users have the ability add and delete multiple locations and standards of measurement with ease!
The Weather Portlet has been bundled with uPortal since 3.2.0.
The default weather service is Yahoo! Weather. Weather locations are most commonly configured by the portal developer/administrator using portlet preferences. Currently this method does not require an API key.

</portlet-preference>You can discover locationCodes for your locations by inspecting the URL of the
associated page in Yahoo! Weather. For example, the following URL belongs to the
Yahoo! Weather page for Phoenix, AZ:
The location code for Phoenix is 2471390.
The Apereo Weather Portlet includes an optional EDIT mode that allows end users to manage their own weather locations. To use it, you must provide a valid API key from developer.yahoo.com.
To obtain an API key, you must Create an App
in the Yahoo! Developer Network portal. Once you create your app, copy the
Client Secret (Consumer Secret) that Yahoo! generates.
Paste the Client Secret in the space provided within
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/context/applicationContext.xml:
<!--
Yahoo! Weather DAO Implementation
-->
<bean id="weatherDaoImpl" class="org.jasig.portlet.weather.dao.yahoo.YahooWeatherDaoImpl">
<property name="key" value=""/> <!-- ENTER YOUR KEY HERE -->
<property name="weatherParsingService" ref="weatherParsingService"/>
<property name="locationParsingService" ref="locationParsingService"/>
<property name="messageSource" ref="messageSource"/>
</bean>As with all portlets, you must package and deploy a new build of the Weather Portlet for this change to take effect.
