@kbsali Thank you so much for your great plugin! It has been added into Windy :-)

thanks a lot @marekd ! :)

@kbsali
Thank you again for your boat tracker plugin. It works fine, but I have a small issue on Mac using Chrome: All icons on UI disappear when I use your plugin (and only your) -
@idefix37 I'm not sure I can do anything about this! :)
Could it be a problem with your connection not being very stable? I've had similar issues and refreshing the page fixed the problem! -
-
@rittels oh? really?
this is supposed to be "in".onwindy-plugin-regadata
ok, i'll try and fix this, but I find it surprising. -

Also other users are starting to post about this issue elsewhere in the forum too.

@idefix37 can you try again with the latest version please?
-
Cool, working now.
.onwindy-plugin-xxxx
is added to the< body>
element, so affects everything inside body. -
That works perfectly now!
Thanks ! -
Great!
But I still believe this is sort of a "bug" from the Windy plugin loader, don't you think @marekd ? -
@kbsali Greaty plugin. Can we propagate the plugin, or should we rather keep quiet?
How about Vendee Globe name? I guess there are some copyright issues.
-
This is a great plugin, good job !!!!

Hi @ivo
thanks! :)
I have asked them on several occasions but never got an answer.
But to be honnest, I don't think they would complain : they use the plugin on their live videos now to present where the boats are! :) -
@kbsali
Fine,
EDIT
I've found these videos, but cannot give the link, just a screenshot.They say that these maps are provided by Christian Dumard. This meteorologist is routing boats on this race and is known as a Windy user.
See his FB post of Nov. 19:

So, are these maps from a Windy API source?
But not exactly the plugin itself? -

What a great result for you and the Windy community :)

@idefix37 you are right!
I spoke with him on the phone short after submitting my last message. He contacted me so we could integrate the routing his team has been working on. As you spotted, they are using the API and did not know how to turn it into a plugin. So we will "join forces" to make the routing bit available to everybody. We'll see if the race org starts using it.
Also https://www.facebook.com/marineweatherandstrategy/posts/3958519977516189@ivo Yoann Richomme, an offshore skipper, publishes new weather analysis every Monday, and he uses the plugin while explaining the situations :

@kbsali
Excellent news !
The video of Yoann Richomme is very interesting, from 4:18, ... for French speakers. -
Thanks @ivo :)
Just to make it easier to load and because you have approved the plugin, it is directly reachable through https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-regadataBtw @ivo, would there be anyway to load any plugin "directly", without going through the extra presentation step? I've had a few users asking this over twitter.

Yes I know, but we want to propagate whole Plugins Ecosystem to motivate also other developers to jump in. Or our users to check the plugins page and see, what's new there.
