[dev] Weather block; need advice/help

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Quoting Rick Emery <rick at emery.homelinux.net>:

> I added a new type to Form.php (Horde_Form_Type_weather). I basically just

> (sends the value to weather.com and receives a PEAR error, an array, or the
> location ID).
>
> I thought I might be lucky enough to simply change the "type" in the params
> array of the block from "text" to "weather", but that didn't work; in the
> layout for the block, I no longer get a textbox into which to type the
> location.

You need to modify Horde_Form_Renderer so that it knows how to render your new
type. That should be it. :)
