Please, please, please, add the option to automatically load a plugin specified in the URL. It's annoying to always need to find my plugin in the list and open it manually. Also, it's hard to refer a plugin to other people, I need to give them instructions instead of just a URL.

I understand that there are some security concerns but can you allow this at least for the official plugins that show in the UI?

When doing it, please allow loading more plugins at the same time, the URL could be e.g. windy.com/?plugin=pg-mapa&plugin=airspaces.

This layer is extremely over-optimistic. It predicts heights for 1000 m or more higher than they are predicted by other methods (and then they really are). Take a look at the screenshot: The Thermals layer predicts 3200 m (which is extremely rare in Czechia) whereas it will actually be around 1890 m (as predicted by another method).

The method used by my plugin has its “proof” in the diagram:

I have no idea how the number coming from the Thermals layer is computed but it's most certainly wrong.

Please remove my plugin Aladin wind (windy-plugin-aladin). The data source is gone and it's not probable that it will be back.

Please also remove the plugin Paragliding flyability (windy-plugin-pg) which is not mine. Its data source is also gone, https://pg-api.ovh/ is not even in the DNS anymore. This plugin didn't work for long periods in the past. I've contacted the author several times which always helped only for a short time.

@ivo The plugins are great. Would it be possible to persist the plugins I loaded? Either by storing the loaded plugins in Local Storage or at least by putting the loaded plugins into URL (something like /?plugin=windy-plugin-pg).

windy-plugin-flymet: Displays layers useful for glider pilots from FLYMET in Czechia.

windy-plugin-aladin: Displays wind direction and speed in the picker according to the Aladin forecast in Czechia.

It works for me now too.

Let us know if we should add your plugin to the list

I've created windy-plugin-pg-mapa. I would like it to be published. Please let me know if you need me to do something else.

There's also a Windy API version at https://pg.vrana.cz/mapa/ which works only with GFS but it's available on mobiles too.

There's also - and + (or =) to zoom the map.

I've created a poor man solution to load the plugins I always use with a bookmarklet. Create a browser bookmark with this URL (strip the newlines if need to but e.g. Chrome does that automatically, keep javascript:):

javascript:
function loadPlugin(id) {
  document.querySelector('[href="#load"]').click();
  setTimeout(() => {
    const input = document.querySelector('[placeholder="Example: windy-plugin-hello-world"]');
    input.value = id;
    input.dispatchEvent(new InputEvent('input'));
    input.nextElementSibling.children[1].click();
  });
}
loadPlugin('windy-plugin-pg-mapa');
setTimeout(() => {
  W.broadcast.fire('rqstOpen', 'plugins');
  setTimeout(() => loadPlugin('windy-plugin-flymet'));
}, 3000);

Then open https://www.windy.com/plugins and click this bookmark. It will open the plugins I use.

@marekd It doesn't work.

W.broadcast.fire("rqstOpen", "detail", {"lat":48.44783,"lon":19.98392,"display":"wind"});

This still opens the basic forecast, not the wind forecast.

Can you add back the option to display different kinds of forecast? It's very useful to have this quickly available.

@Ondřej-Šutera There's one more problem. I'm displaying the wind forecast with this code:

W.store.set("detailDisplay", "wind");
W.broadcast.fire("rqstOpen", "detail", "...");

This doesn't work anymore because store doesn't have detailDisplay anymore. How can I display the wind (or meteogram) forecast now?

@Ondřej-Šutera Thanks, now it works. It's the same for getMeteogramForecast.

When calling getPointForecast, I'm getting this error:

The error is visible at https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-pg-mapa?iconEu,48.384,20.016,9 when you click any takeoff.

Please help.

@vicb Thanks, that's the one.

@vicb Thanks. I've updated my plugin. Do you know how can I now close the left panel with the plugin. It used to be this.close() but this is not available anymore.

https://github.com/vrana/windy-plugin-flymet/blob/08620d2e/src/plugin.js#L69

I'm getting this error when trying to load any plugin:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.dependencies.forEach is not a function
    at yt (index.js:1:31140)
    at bt (index.js:1:31731)
    at r.value (index.js:1:257953)
    at r (index.js:1:163974)

e = {
    "name": "@plugins/windy-plugin-pg-mapa",
    "dependencies": "",
    "callback": "",
    "wasLoaded": false
}

With some internal plugins, dependencies is an array.

Where should I define the dependencies? However, it seems like an error in Windy itself.

@korina @rittels, thanks for the explanation. The “issue” was with the newly available modelElevation. My plugin expected that there will be also temp-surface if there's modelElevation. It's great that modelElevation is now available for the other models.

In data returned from windyUrls.getMeteogramForecast, there used to be temp-surface. Now it disappeared for all models but ECMWF. Can you please bring it back?

@3wingweather You can now use an URL: https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-airspaces.
