Nevermind I figured it out. I had to change $sortbyEvent from a 0 to a 3 on the code below.

$sortbyEvent   = 3;                         // sort titles by severity in alert box & then by number listed below
//                                             0 = location - duplicate events will be displayed
//                                             1 = location - duplicate events removed
//                                             2 = event - duplicate events will be displayed
//                                             3 = event - duplicate events removed

There is a setting in NWSALERTBOX-config that you change no cron to false or true and the message will disappear

I just removed the message after finding out that the config said true when I thought I had updated it to false.

thanks for the reply though.

Curly, wondering if there's a fix for this.

There are a couple River Flood Warnings here right now. Looking at the warnings, seems it may be for a river flood gauge and not an entire area?

This has been going on this spring here. Looks like it is for the river Gauge HIKN6 maybe. Weather Underground sends an alert for this.
Wonder if the alert program can show this also.

The NWS is not issuing a Flood Statement in their ATOM feed. Just the Flood Warning.
I have no fix for this.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #130 on:** April 20, 2013, 05:23:15 PM »

It shows on the SWSP Alert Script. That uses a different feed?

Curly · « **Reply #131 on:** April 21, 2013, 07:41:24 AM »

The SWSP scrapes web pages while the nws-alerts uses the XML/CAP v1.1 and ATOM Formats.

Tony,
I noticed the zone code on the statement is not just your code. Apparently the statement is under this code:
NYC043-065-210338-
/O.EXT.KALY.FL.W.0006.130420T1537Z-130421T2100Z/
Try checking the Atom feed under NYC043.
I do see the 065 in there, but I'm thinking the 043 is primary for this statement.
I apologize for not getting to this sooner. The flood warning has probably long since expired. Monitor the codes and see what changes.

Trying to get my wxnws-alerts-log.php working

trying to get this page http://www.sunprairieweather.com/wxnws-alerts-log.php it is showing the alerts that were in the cache file from the zip file. So I think im most of the way there but my alerts are not writing to the cache file. Any ideas?

Thanks Andy

The config file is up to date but the main file, nws-alerts.php, is the old version without the logging option.
If you have downloaded the latest package here, you may already have this file to upload, or you can download just the main file here.

Once the old version is replaced, the log file won't write until the next time nws-alerts.php is ran.

Andy G · « **Reply #135 on:** July 18, 2013, 12:56:23 AM »

Thanks Curly its working. I don't know how I missed that but missed it I did. Thanks for the script and the support.

Andy

CNYWeather · « **Reply #136 on:** July 18, 2013, 09:02:48 AM »

Hey Curly.

I put the newer version of nws-alerts.php in and my config file says to log alerts.
Will I need to wait for some alerts before the alert-log file gets written to?

Also, is there a page nws-alerts-log.php template to call the alerts in a page correctly?

Thanks Rick!

EDIT I got this warning now also. I turned to logging off for now.

Code: [Select]

Warning: fopen(/NWSalertLog20130718.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/content/62/3715862/html/nws-alerts.php on line 647

Hi Rick there is this page wxnws-alerts-log.php for Ver 3 Templates. Is that what you are looking for?

CNYWeather · « **Reply #138 on:** July 18, 2013, 03:24:34 PM »

Yep, that was what I was looking for Andy. I found it when I re-downloaded the script from Curly.
Thanks!!!

I'm getting the error again. I assume something isnt writable?

Warning: fopen(/NWSalertLog20130719.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/content/62/3715862/html/nws-alerts.php on line 647

It's Tony not Rick too.

Curly · « **Reply #139 on:** July 21, 2013, 07:49:43 AM »

I had the links turned around that are listed a few messages back. (now fixed)
The alert log files are in the nws-alerts.zip file HERE

Quote

failed to open stream: Permission denied

That is the key phrase meaning that the script doesn't have permission to write files to the alertlog folder.
You will have to adjust the permission level (chmod) for the alertlog folder.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #141 on:** July 31, 2013, 02:47:56 PM »

Did you download and upload the entire script Ryan?
Curly made a few changes to support this.

I had the same issue till I updated the entire script.

cospringswx · « **Reply #142 on:** July 31, 2013, 03:05:26 PM »

Had to add the code below to the config file. Now I'm trying to change the colors because I can't read anything.

How do I get it to read my area its currently reading Santa Clara,CA?
I've got the permissions on the alert log folder high BTW.

Code: [Select]

// ALERT LOGGING
$logAlerts     = true;                      // true=log alerts    false=don't log alerts
$log_folder    = './alertlog';              // folder that contains the log files. No slash on end

Curly · « **Reply #143 on:** July 31, 2013, 03:08:53 PM »

The class is ajaxDashboard that has white text and it's in a white background.
I'll look into a fix for you this evening.

cospringswx · « **Reply #144 on:** July 31, 2013, 03:13:08 PM »

I can see the text on my iPhone but not on PC?

FWIW, my /alertlog/ and /cache/ are both 775 (which actually might be a bit high), and all files within /alertlog/ are 644. Works fine.

Identical to mine but I'm still getting Santa Clara?

Curly · « **Reply #147 on:** July 31, 2013, 03:47:00 PM »

There are some tags missing in the nws-alerts-config.php file.
Open that file and add the following and then upload it:

Code: [Select]

$floodType     = true;                      // true=add prefix 'Areal' or 'River' to Flood alert title   false=no prefix to Flood alert
$noAlertText   = 'No Warnings, Watches, or Advisories';  // Text to display for no alerts.

Done.

Edit:It just ran and it didn't change anything? Change permissions on alertlog folder to the highest?

Curly · « **Reply #149 on:** July 31, 2013, 04:08:37 PM »

I'm not seeing any php errors...
It would complain about permissions being denied if they were set too low.

Try turning on the error reporting in nws-alerts.php

Find this

Code: [Select]

//ini_set('display_errors', 1);
//error_reporting(E_ALL);

Replace it with this:

Code: [Select]

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Save it then upload it. Run the file manually
Report any errors.
You should comment out those two lines after you do this and upload the file again. This will prevent your index page from showing any php errors if there are any.
