For anyone interested in the above, I have now released a patch on Openrepos
(see the heading above the windspeed value)

Hi all,

as many of us know, by adding a few lines of code to Clock.qml in /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen and importing WeatherBanner.qml to lockscreen directory, we can produce and customise the Weather Banner, simple enough that I managed to do this without help....cool, or so I thought.

I would like to do the same with 'Wind Direction'. So by applying the same logic as above, I thought it would be a piece of cake to get Wind Direction to show on the lockscreen, but.......no. I have been playing with this for some time and still no cigar.

This is the code for WeatherBanner in Clock.qml;

WeatherBanner {
id: weatherBanner
anchors {
top: month.bottom
topMargin: Theme.paddingMedium
horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
}
}

and so, this is the code for WindDirection in Clock.qml;

WindDirection {
id: windDirection
anchors {
top: weatherBanner.bottom
topMargin: Theme.paddingLarge*2
horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
}
}

Behind the scenes and situated in lockscreen folder along with Clock.qml are WeatherBanner.qml (customised) and WeatherDirection.qml. Rather than just having an import statement for WeatherBanner I needed to customise my banner, so that's why I made a copy of the original WeatherBanner.qml and placed it in the lockscreen folder. I also tried various import statements for WindDirection but all/some/none makes no difference, what am I missing here?

Time to ask the experts among us for their wealth of knowledge, so guys and girls, if you have any idea how I can make Wind Direction show on the lockscreen, like we have done with Weather Banner, i'd really appreciate it, I feel like I'm so close to making it work....buuuuuuuuuut, it's not happening!

Explore the latest Lockscreen Analog Clock, which uses own WeatherBannerMod.qml (obviously it is modified WeatherBanner.qml)

and do diff between
or put the whole file directly.

I've had a good play, adding/removing/editing various aspects of each file that should be required. I even removed it all and started again. No amount of 'playing' helped.

I wonder exactly how WeatherBanner is linked to homescreen, I know it is not just via import statements, but what else, how does WeatherBanner appear on lockscreen/Clock.qml when WindDirection doesn't. I'm truly baffled. I'd like to think I understand most of what I'm doing with 'hacking' qml files. I will keep playing though, as I have done for months on and off

Thanks for your input Ancelad.

Weather comes to lockscreen through eventsview in my case.

Originally, so did mine. But I don't use 'import "../eventsview/weather" statement, because I wanted to customise how WeatherBanner looks on lockscreen and I couldn't achieve it using eventsview methods.

I've had a look already in EventsView for clues, I noticed a few import statements, tried adding them individually, but still no joy. But, you are right, the original method of getting weatherbanner onto lockscreen is through eventsview. Best I get fiddling then!

Share your files and I will check.

The basis is my wind direction text patch on openrepos, install that. then, either move its contents to lipstick-jolla-home-qt5 as a qml file and add an entry for windDirection in Clock.qml

I added this to lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen/Clock.qml;

Then create WindDirection.qml in the same folder as Clock.qml and enter the following contents;

I've tried various import statements for both files but none seems to help, the 'why' is what's bugging me!

Hmmm... Dirty trick, but seems working...

Add into /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Weather/WeatherDetailsHeader.qml

and

And now you can read this value from Clock.qml by adding

and

and finally

It will show values from 0 with stepsize 45... And now you can define texts according values...

I'm not sure if it will work dynamically but it should...
