Topic: ajax/web update problem

[kolumb]

hello everybody, I'm Mike, it's nice to be a member of the weather enthusiast's forum

It's not a good idea to start with complaining, but I have a problem I'm not able to solve.
I created an ajax php site with realitime updates (as all of you). Unfortunately there is a problem with updates from Cumulus.
When I refresh the page, for a short time (two seconds or so) it shows the current conditions, but then
there's something like a 'revert' and the page displays data from yesterday before midnight (always the same time). The information
and the files on the server are up to date. I looked through the php and js files,
xml etc, but can't find what's wrong. Hope somebody knows the answer, I haven't found anything on the forums, doctor Google
seems not to know the solution either.

Hey Mike...welcome,
I am sure someone on here will be able to help, or at least try.
But you should give us your site's URL so we can have a look.  Just post it and/or put it in your profile.

well, I spent quite a few hours looking at various settings in php and js files,
everything seems to be updating fine, I created several links to htm pages
from cumulus realtime web and right below Home in the menu there is a linkt to such a page, which
seems to be up to date, what is more the homepage also updates correctly as the 'right' data is
displayed for a short time and it keeps updating everytime Cumulus sends new data, but then
suddenly something happens that makes the homepage present data from 30/09/12.
When you refresh my homepage, you may notice that there are current conditions displayed
for a  short time (although the date shows as if today was 01/01/1970 - I'll try to solve it later)
and then again yesterday jumps in.

Hi Mike, and welcome to WXForum.net

In your Settings-weather.php, you have two entries that are not quite right

Code: [Select]

$SITE['C:\Cumulus']   = './realtime.txt';  // directory and name of Cumulus realtime.txt file

$SITE['C:\Cumulus\web']  = './images/';     // directory location for graph images with trailing /
Those should read as

Code: [Select]

$SITE['realtimefile']   = './realtime.txt';  // directory and name of Cumulus realtime.txt file

$SITE['graphImageDir']  = './images/';     // directory location for graph images with trailing /
for them to work with the rest of the pages/scripts.  The name inside $SITE['...'] should not be changed as it is the 'key' used by other parts of the templates to be configured with the value(s) to the right of the equal sign.

The AJAX update issue is likely caused by ajaxCUwx.js expecting the realtime.txt file to be in the document root of the website.  Since you installed in a subdirectory, I suggest you change ajaxCUwx.js from

Code: [Select]

var realtimeFile = '/realtime.txt'; //  URL location of realtime.txt relative to document root of website
to

Code: [Select]

var realtimeFile = './realtime.txt'; //  URL location of realtime.txt relative to document root of website
so it will read the realtime.txt file from the directory in which the page is located.

Hope this helps...

Best regards,
Ken

well, I did what Ken suggested with ajaxCUwx.js and ...it worked
I spent half a night changing various things across the website but didn't think about that.

Thank you very much indeed, Ken.

Best regards
