Plugin Introduction
Little Ant Typhoon Path is a game designed for Discuz! Typhoon path display and data source management plugins developed for forums, local portals, and information communities. The plugin can be for Discuz! A separate "Typhoon Real-Time Path" function page has been added, supporting PC and mobile access, and providing functions such as typhoon data source management, data source switching, in-site embedding, original site access, SEO settings, page icons, and mobile adaptation.
The plugin comes with a WindyEmbed data source by default. Website owners can also add and maintain other domestic and international typhoon path websites based on their website's location, service targets, and actual needs.
Unlike the traditional method of writing URLs directly into templates, Xiao Yi Typhoon Path provides independent data source management functions. Website owners can modify the source name, PC address, WAP address, region type, display order, and opening method themselves without modifying PHP or template code.
Particularly suitable for local portals, city forums, coastal communities, weather information forums, outdoor communities, and Discuz that needs to provide an entry point for typhoon information! Website usage.

I. High system compatibility and adaptation, standardized deployment
This plugin strictly follows Discuz! The official plugin development standards adopt a standard plugin directory structure and background management model, ensuring that the entire process is tamper-proof and does not overwrite core system files, thus guaranteeing the safe and stable operation of the forum system.
In terms of version compatibility, the plugin is fully compatible with Discuz! Mainstream versions such as X3.4, X3.5, X5.0, and X5.1; In terms of language encoding, it supports Simplified Chinese UTF-8 and Traditional Chinese UTF-8 formats, and no longer provides the GBK version. It is compatible with mainstream website encoding specifications and is highly versatile.
II. Full terminal compatibility, customizable display effect
The plugin is independently compatible with both PC and mobile (WAP/Touch) devices, specifically for Discuz! Both mobile and touch operating modes on mobile devices have been optimized for targeted compatibility. When users access the site via mobile phone, the mobile-dedicated typhoon page can be loaded directly without needing to be forcibly redirected to the desktop interface, greatly improving the mobile browsing experience.
Meanwhile, the backend supports independent setting of page display height on PC and WAP platforms, and can flexibly adjust the display ratio according to the screen size of different devices such as computers and mobile phones to adapt to various terminal display scenarios.
III. Built-in global wind farm, ready to use with zero configuration.
The plugin comes with Windy's global wind farm data display capabilities by default, enabling visual display through the official embedded page. After deploying the plugin, the site does not need to apply for an additional weather API key, set up data acquisition services, or configure scheduled tasks. There are no additional configurations throughout the entire process. Once installed, the global wind farm and typhoon path query functions can be directly enabled, avoiding the problems of traditional plugins relying on third-party interfaces and interface quotas expiring, which can cause functional paralysis.
IV. Visual data source management, flexible and extensible
The plugin abandons the fixed data source code writing mode, and all typhoon data sources support background visual autonomous configuration and maintenance, with a high degree of freedom. Website owners can independently complete operations such as adding, editing, enabling, disabling, sorting, and deleting data sources in the backend. They can also customize and configure the data source name, PC access address, WAP access address, region category, display order, page opening method, and note information.
When the website address and service status of the third-party typhoon data source change, there is no need to modify the program code or wait for the plugin version update. The adaptation can be completed by simply modifying the parameters in the background, which greatly reduces the subsequent operation and maintenance costs. The plugin also provides a reference list of official data sources, covering authoritative channels such as the National Meteorological Center Typhoon Network, typhoon platforms of local meteorological bureaus, and global typhoon tracking platforms, allowing website owners to choose the best ones.
V. Independent configuration of dual-end addresses to support multiple scenario sources
In response to the fact that most typhoon data sources distinguish between dedicated pages for PC and mobile devices, the plugin supports independent configuration of access URLs for PC and WAP devices. When accessed by mobile devices, the system will automatically call the data source address adapted to the mobile device to ensure page compatibility and loading effect; If a WAP address is not configured separately, the system will call the PC address by default, balancing flexibility and versatility.
VI. Dual display mode, compatible with third-party site rules.
For each data source, the plugin provides two ways to open the page: embedded iframe display within the site and redirected to the original site. Website owners can independently choose the display mode based on the embedding permissions and service rules of the third-party typhoon website. If the third-party platform restricts iframe embedding, they can switch to the original site redirect mode with one click without deleting the original data source configuration and adapt to various third-party service rules.
VII. Simplified front-end interaction for easy user operation
The plugin's PC and mobile front-ends both adopt a lightweight design and feature a drop-down data source selection menu, eliminating cumbersome operation layouts and redundant controls. Users can quickly filter various domestic and overseas typhoon data sources through the drop-down menu. The system will automatically categorize and display them according to the regional categories set in the background, eliminating the need to manually swipe the page to search, making the operation intuitive and convenient.
The front-end page consists of four modules: icon title, data source selection bar, typhoon path display area, and source prompt information, maximizing the typhoon map display area and creating a simple and elegant visual effect.
8. Customize page icons to beautify site display
The plugin supports custom page title icons and has four sets of exclusive WebP format icons built into the backend. It is loaded based on the plugin's local resources and does not rely on external image services, resulting in stable and efficient loading. It also supports website owners to independently upload custom icons in formats such as PNG and JPG, which can customize the visual effects of the page to match the overall style of the site and improve the recognizability and aesthetics of the page.
IX. Independent SEO configuration to help optimize website indexing
Unlike ordinary tools that simply embed third-party pages, plugins are equipped with complete localized SEO optimization configuration functions. The backend supports custom page SEO titles, keywords, descriptions, H1 titles, and page descriptions. It also supports calling site name variable combinations to generate standardized SEO content. Even if the page is embedded with third-party typhoon data, the site can still have independent page search information, effectively improving the site's search engine indexing effect and exposure.
10. Modular backend layout, clear and efficient operation and maintenance.
The plugin backend adopts a modular partition design, which is divided into two core sections: "Global Settings" and "Data Source Management", with clear function partitions and no confusion between them. The global settings section is responsible for configuring site-wide content such as page titles, display icons, page heights on both ends, and SEO parameters; The data source management module focuses on refined operations such as adding, editing, sorting, and status management of various typhoon data sources, reducing the operation and maintenance learning costs for station owners and making management operations efficient and convenient.
XI. Low-dependency deployment, stable and reliable operation
This plugin runs without additional environment dependencies, does not require configuring weather API keys, setting up data collection servers, enabling scheduled tasks, or relying on extension services such as Redis, Node.js, Python, and external databases. Once installed, the plugin can run independently and stably, completely avoiding functional failures caused by free API quota exhaustion and third-party service failures. Its operational stability is far higher than that of traditional similar plugins.
COMPLIANCE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This plugin only provides technical services such as data source configuration, page embedding display, and function management. The copyright, trademark rights, page embedding authorization, content usage rights, and related terms of service of all third-party typhoon data sources are verified and used in compliance by the website owner. The plugin does not provide any third-party content licensing, nor does it guarantee the permanent and stable availability of third-party data sources. Website owners must operate in compliance with their own usage scenarios.
Product Core Advantages
Traditional typhoon display functions only embed fixed pages through simple HTML code, which has drawbacks such as the inability to modify data sources, poor dual-end adaptation, cumbersome operation and maintenance, and a lack of SEO capabilities. The Xiaoyi Typhoon Path plugin, based on actual operation and maintenance needs, has achieved a comprehensive upgrade with modularized functions, configurable parameters, expandable data, full-end adaptability, and SEO optimization. Once installed and deployed, all subsequent function adjustments, data source updates, and page optimizations can be completed through visual operations in the background, without the need to modify code or wait for plugin upgrades, significantly reducing site operation and maintenance costs. That's Discuz! The website is a preferred plugin for building typhoon data query functions.
