Hello all,
Is it possible to be able to add a full word version of the ordinal_compass
formatting for wind directions? This would be useful for cerating
auto-generated scripts and readouts, especially if they are read by machine,
like an Alexa skill. Currently the Ordinates section controls this in skin.conf
and I could replace the abbreviations with words, but that would change it for
all directions in that skin which would not be desirable. I’m currently
implementing this in a custom RSS/XML file in the RSS directory of the Standard
skin.
It would be wonderful if we could have two separate formats for ordinals:
eg.
[[Ordinates]]
# The ordinal directions. The last one should be for no wind direction
directions = N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW,
NW, NNW, N/A
[[OrdinatesLong]]
# The ordinal directions. The last one should be for no wind direction
directions = North, North Northeast, Northeast, East Northeast, East,
East Southeast, Southeast, South Southeast, South, South Southwest, Southwest,
West Southwest, West, West Northwest, Northwest, North Northwest, N/A
I’m working on the Alexa Skill/Flash Briefing for my website (you can search
for it at Port Alberni Weather in the Alexa Skill store) and so having this
functionality available would be an asset.
If I have missed this ability elsewhere please forgive me.
I indebted to your advice!
Thanks
Chris
