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

@rittels You are right. I didn't want some of my plugins to be listed in the gallery as they are not very useful for others. However, I just learned that it's possible to have an approved but unlisted plugin which is fine with me.

@marekd, thanks for the update. Backwards compatibility is sacred for me so I'm surprised that you break it just to change a name, especially if there are official docs and examples around. I can understand that this was an omission but I don't understand not reverting it once reported. Can you please at least keep both names? (I don't know if some kind of aliases are possible here.)

This seems to be renamed to @windy/@plugins/plugin-data-loader. Is this change permanent or is it a bug? If permanent then please fix the docs and examples but I'd suggest keeping the original name.

Thanks for the update and congrats on becoming a code contributor. Would it be possible to just prefill the form at URL https://www.windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-unknown? I use some niche plugins which are not worth approving and this would allow loading them more easily.

@ivo, this stopped working today around 11:40:

“tinyrequire DI error: Can not resolve @plugins/windy-plugin-pg-mapa module Error: Tinyrequire error: Module "pluginDataLoader" does not exist!”

Also, would be possible to return the data in 1-hour resolution for premium users?

There's a one hour shift between the wind forecast at the bottom of the page and the wind markers on the map. This is an example:

Note that the time selected is 10:00 which e.g. ICON forecasts as 2 G:5 from south yet the marker says 3 G:8 from south-west which is the forecast for 11:00.

I can consistently reproduce this both on desktop and on mobile.

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.

Yes, thanks.

Thanks for the replies. This was the problem: I've had the 1h forecast checkbox checked so it seemed like everything should work:

However when I clicked on it, it asked me to buy Windy Premium (which I already bought). I tried to restore my purchases and found two orders in FastSpring: one free (try-out period) and one paid. I've entered the order reference from the paid one but Windy said it's not valid. I've entered the free one and now everything works.

What's interesting is that the forecast was displayed by one hour:

Only the keyboard shortcuts were broken.

I have Windy Premium. Initially, it was possible to skip with left arrow and right arrow keyboard shortcuts by an hour which was great for my use case. Now it skips by 3 hours (same as free version). I am able to skip by an hour in the timeline, this post is only about the keyboard shortcuts.

If you changed the behavior based on some user feedback, can you please add a setting for this?

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

Then it's even more confusing because if I select NEMS model then it displays “NEMS4 model by meteoblue” watermark. It also doesn't explain why NEMS is not in the wind comparison but Meteoblue is.

Wind comparison allows selecting ECMWF, GFS and Icon as primary but Arome and Meteoblue not. I see no reason for it as both Arome and Meteoblue could be selected as a model for the map. Arome even stays as primary when showing the wind comparison and it is then in this weird state that it's both selected and disabled:

Meteoblue couldn't be primary for an unknown reason. Could it be just because it's named NEMS in the model selection and Meteoblue in the Wind comparison? Please unify this, it's confusing.

It works for me now too.

Clicking on the Geopot. height in the More layers does nothing and displays this error in the developer console:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://ims.windy.com/ecmwf-hres/2020/04/19/18/siw0/0/0/gh-surface.json?reftime=2020041900' from origin 'https://www.windy.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Plugins with hook: 'menu' in config.js display themselves in More layers (bottom right corner) so that they could be re-opened on desktop. However, they are missing there on mobile. Please list them there too for consistent user experience.

Current 'menu' plugins (e.g. Airspaces) add a button to the UI which is an extra work for plugin authors and creates an inconsistent user experience.

Also, there's a close button for lhpane on desktop but closing must be implemented manually on mobile. Please add a close button to mobile too.

There used to be a list of official plugins at https://www.windy.com/plugins. It's not there anymore.

Can we get it back?

It's still possible to load a plugin from npm but that's not very user friendly.

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.
