Weather symbol in diary

[Jendrik Seipp]

Original text from question:

It would be nice, if there would be a field, into which the user can enter his location, e.g., San Francisco, California. This location should be valid through out the following days until a new location is entered. Now in display mode for each day the location and a symbol with the weather of that day will be shown, e.g. San Francisco, California, partly sunny, 23°. The weather information is fetched once from a server that maintains historical weather data.

Since I'd like to keep RedNotebook's interface and code simple your idea might be a little too specialized. However, I'm thinking about implementing a plugin system for RedNotebook for which this addition seems a perfect fit. Might be a while before I get to implementing this though as time is rare these days. One part of the plugin system could be a macro system that takes predefined text like {weather:california} and turns it into other text for the preview, e.g. an HTML snippet that displays the symbol for the weather in California on that day.
