A NEW Multi-Language capable MOBILE version of the Alternative ajax-dashboard Version 6.81 from Webster Weather Live is now released. This version is built totally on the 6.81 version and requires that you are already running this version on your site to work.

• Displays well on Androids EVO, iPhone 4, iPhone 3, Droid X so far!
• Support for animated icon set

• Now with button to display full site
• Added more readings to display
• Added footnotes to radar page
• Many minor changes from users in forum

PLEASE EDIT FOOTNOTE ABOUT NOT AFFILIATED WITH NWS, I MADE ADDITIONS THERE THAT WILL NOT FIT YOUR SITE!

This one is really so easy to setup, extract the 4 files to your main directory edit php file to add your site name near the top of both .php files, set a couple other settings right below that in both for extended forecast and footnote and create a link to use it and you're done!  How simple is that!!  Please let me know if you see any issues with the display on any smartphone.  It should work well on most all of them!

Then just create a QR code (Bar code for smartphones) so your site's users can get to it from their phone without having to type it in:



Instructions to creat that are in the archive.

But I'm really new to smart phones, got mine on Friday. I went to you website http://www.websterweatherlive.com on my phone saw the image. How do I scan it? My choices were to save, view, set as wallpaper or share. Tried view didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

You need a QR code reader.  It is part of most of the bar code apps for the phones. (You scan the bar code with the phone, you don't do anything with the image itself.)   Once you scan it it should give you the option to open it in a web browser.

Very nice Scott

[ed2kayak]

I was confused! Looking at your site with FF the QR code doesn't show up. I'm thinking scan what? It does show up ok in IE.  As far as feature request,
it would be nice if you could put indoor temp somewhere, I know its a tight squeeze.

I'm confused why it wouldn't show in FF, its just a JPG image!  (UPDATE: Just downloaded FF and sure enough it don't show!)(Update again:  Found the problem with the image not showing on the menu.. a \ instead of a / in the img tag... FF is so fussy!)

I use Opera for my browser on my cell and this page looks good.. http://cvweather.org/m-cvweather.php


 

[BurnsvilleWeather]

But mine Is showing as full screen which means I have to zoom in, any ideas?

http://www.snoqualmieweather.com/WWL-mobile.php

I think the major part of the problem is, you're using version 5 of alternative dashboard and you need to have version 6.xx running.  Many of the config and code is all from version 6.

You will at least need to change the size of the Current Condition ICON to the smaller size, it's pushing the column too wide.  That could be part of it.

Thanks Scott!  I can report that it works on my Blackberry Curve.  Have it running at http://depereweather.com/WWL-mobile.php .  That was to easy to get running

Thanks Todd, best part about this script is, it's really plug and play, drop 3 files in and it's all set to go! (*IF* you already have Version 6.xx running of the alternative dashboard!)

Hi Scott,

Thanks for another great script, but looks like I have this issue for some reason:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function langtransstr() in /home/dwayneya/public_html/wx/WWL-mobile.php on line 330

Take a look at http://www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/WWL-mobile.php and see what you think.

My main page is at http://www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/index.php

Main page is working well but it seems something is amiss with something.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Scott,

Never mind my last post.  Figured it out.  I forgot about the last few lines that we worked on the dashboard with this error.  Man, memory is short nowadays...

Got it working okay now.

I know what you mean, I have an excellent memory... for about 15 seconds!

Hi Scott,

Yep,  mine is shorter as the days go by.

Another issue,  how do I change the radar image to Hawaii? Or closer to Maui rather than the whole state.

Thanks again for a great script and I got it tested on my Brother-In-Law's Droid X with the "bar code" reader.
See the attached image.

Catch you later,

Stan,

Looks great on my Android EVO!  Love the background effects!   The radar should follow exactly what you chose in the main script for the WU Radar.  That was part of the original Ajax Script from Ken.  Do you use it on your main site?

Hi Scott,

This is what I am using on my index page:

  <img src="http://radblast-mi.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=HMO&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=50&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1220645586&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=320&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=-60&amp;transy=-80&amp;showlabels=0&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=1&amp;lightning=1&amp;smooth=1

If this is of any help...

Where do I find $SITE['WUregion'] in the following line, then I think, I will be able to show the Radar in my area?  What do you think???

Stan,

I think that is all setup in setting.php.  I'm at the office right now so I can't look, but I'm pretty sure thats it.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply and will take a look at that portion and will work with it later as I have to go get our grand children from their schools. Sitting chores are coming up..

Hi Scott,

Looks like you are right but it does not work outside of the regions that is listed in the following lines in the setup.php script:

$SITE['WUregion']   = 'sw';            // Wunderground regional maps
// 'sw'=SouthWest, 'nw'=NorthWest, 'mw'=Midwest
// 'sp'=South Central, 'ne'=North East, 'se'=South East

I tried to put in 'hi' in place of the 'sw' but no workie.  Know of any other regional maps ID that I could use.  I will have to figure this out later.

Thanks again for your input and support.

Hi Scott,

You should be able to just replace the script line that calls the WU Radar with the exact line you are using on your site now, just set the width and height smaller as I did.  It should work

Hi Scott,

Again thanks for the reply and suggestion.  Will try that later tonight and see what happens.
