Probably really stupid question (Sorry in advance) 2 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 0
I really apologize in advance for the stupidity of this question! LOL I'm very new to Joomla and was finally won over when I saw your TransBear template (thank you thank you Big Bear!).

Anyway, on our current site (www.coastguardfest.org) we display our local TV station's weather forecast. Is it possible to do that in Joomla? I have been working on the new site (not live yet www.coastguardfest.org/test/joomla) and am hoping to at least get a working base site up and running in a few weeks.

Ok...that was really long winded but can anyone give me some tips as to how I can insert the weather forecast in the new site? I'd switch to a slightly generic one but it's in our contract since they are a sponsor.

Thanks in advance!

I guess it really was a dumb question but I still haven't been able to figure it out.

That's not a silly question at all - sorry I missed your forum post from earlier, usually pretty quick to pick these up - like now ;-) but had a spot of flu the past week...

Anyway, to the problem at hand - It looks like you could just embed the image they are hosting showing the forecasts:
media2.woodtv.com/weather/forecast_thumb2.jpg

and then link it to:
www.woodtv.com/dpp/weather/storm_team_8_forecast

You could do this easily by creating a custom HTML module and uploading the image into it - then publish this left or right - wherever you need it.

If you run into any trouble message me back - or email me your admin details and I'll go in and have a look.

Last tip - install the free version of JoomlaFCK editor - makes adding images a snip.
