"Let's Talk About the Weather"
Go to AppExchange Page Here

We had a client today ask about adding weather information to the account page.  Surprisingly after all these years, we had not been asked this before - so we looked up options.

First we found the following:  https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000AarVIAS

But it produced the following:

​That was okay - it had the temperature at least and you could feed back additional data beyond just the temperature - but we wanted more.  In this day and age, we want graphics, so we searched and found the "Let's Talk About the Weather" app from the AppExchange - that gave us this:

That looks better.  

It was pretty easy to set up as well.  Just go to the app exchange listing link referenced above and be sure to go to the installed applications in setup to configure it with one additional step: you need to register with the openweather and get the app api key.  The instructions for setup are here: Click Here

​Enjoy!

Have you ever added a new user and had them log into Salesforce 1 for the first time only to notice they do not have any of the listview drop down options that you may have? 

It is not about permissions - actually, it is a known issue in Salesforce - and the answer can be found here:https://success.salesforce.com/ideaVi.... 

Basically, the users will not be able to see the dropdown options on their mobile device (for the downloadable app) until they first look at the list on a non-mobile device. If they use the mobile browser, they can see the list view dropdowns. Odd.
