HXE enhancing your custom landing page
I just published a post on how to customize the landing page of your HXE system but not really personalizing it so I thought – hey why not do that now.
Since I am working on the server only image and in the previous blogs I showed how to add the XSC tooling I really don’t need that block on XSA as the server only image does not have XSA.
So I decided to modify my page content and add in a section to show me the weather. I found a easy little weather script called, Simple Weather.
<script src="js/jquery.simpleWeather.min.js"></script>
<style>
h1.vTitle {
color: #ffffff;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
p.eTitle {
color: #F0AB00;
font-variant: small-caps;
}
body {
padding: 45px 25px;
font: 13px 'Open Sans', "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'weather';
src: url('https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/93/artill_clean_icons-webfont.eot');

}
</style>That section added to the HEAD of the page. Now to the body I added in my DIV section.
<div class="col-sm-4">
<div class="alert alert-info" id="weather"></div>
<br />
<div class="alert alert-info" id="localweather" style="background: #1192d3;"></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div>Then finally I added at the end of the file I add in a SCRIPT section.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#localweather").hide();
loadWeather('Lippstadt','');
loadLocalWeather();
});
setInterval(function() {
loadLocalWeather();
}, 1000);
function loadWeather(location, woeid) {
$.simpleWeather({
location: location,
woeid: woeid,
unit: 'c',
success: function(weather) {
html = '<h2><i class="icon-'+weather.code+'"></i> '+weather.temp+'°'+weather.units.temp+'</h2>';
$("#weather").html(html);
},
error: function(error) {
$("#weather").html('<p>'+error+'</p>');
}
});
}
</script>
You will notice there is a second function that runs in a loop called “loadLocalWeather()” now that function I decided to add in because I wanted to get the actual temperature in my home office.
To accomplish that I followed the steps outlined in our “IoT” tutorial for SAP HANA XSC.
- IoT setup: SAP HANA XS (on-premise or stand-alone server)
- Posting data with a REST Client
- Checking your data
- Using the Tessel to post data to SAP HANA
Then it was a matter of adding in my “loadLocalWeather()” function.
function loadLocalWeather() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/craigcmehil/myiot/mydata.xsodata/HISTORY?$format=json&$orderby=ID desc&$top=1",
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function (data, status){
html = '<h2>'+data.d.results[0]['TEMPERATURE']+'°C '+data.d.results[0]['HUMIDITY']+'%RH</h2>';
$("#localweather").show();
$("#localweather").html(html);
}
});
}
Of course at this point I can really just keep adding anything I want or need to my page in terms of my development needs – such as linking to JIRA or to a nifty to do list.
What do you need as a developer? As a development team?
