Hello guys,
I have been trying to insert a widget, that would be various weather widgets, on a single page to be accessed from a link in menu. I do not want it to look like a post or comments etc. I just want it to look like a normal page but with the widgets inside it.
If I want to show detailed weather forecast for various cities and the widgets only can be shown in the side bares they will have to scroll down to hell!!
I haven't found any plugin for this. Can anyone help please?
Regards
Jon
You'd need to create a custom, widget-ready, page template.

hello metrosolo,
I am not sure I got your request correct but you can insert the wp-forecast widgets into any post or page using a shortcode.
see section 5.5 of the english reference under http://www.tuxlog.de/wordpress/2008/wp-forecast-referenz-v14/#k55
to change width and height standard settings for the iframes you have to edit shortcodes.php at the moment. the parameters will be integrated with the next release of wp-forecast.

You could use the Widgets on Pages plugin to do this. Basically you add a shortcode to the page content and then that will pull a defined Sidebar into your page/post. The widgets are output in the same manner as normal widgets are.
