Does anyone know how I can change what it says in the alert box on the top of the page? Right now my says There are no active watches, warnings or advisories for Ellis (Kansas).

Ryan,

Are you wanting to change the wording or not show anything if there aren't any alerts?

To change where it has nothing there go to your AtomFeed-config.php file and look for this line: Around line 99:

$always_show = true; // true=display message if no alerts false=display message only when alert is active

Change that to false and it will not show anything unless there is an alert.

If you want to change the wording itself, look in the AtomFeed.php file around line 501 for this:

array('N'=>'There are no active watches, warnings or advisories', 'C'=>'#333', 'S'=>'13', 'I'=>'')

Only change what is in the single quotes, otherwise you will have a screwed up alert.

Hope that helps,

John

Oops, my bad. Just saw where you are using the NWS-alert script.

I'm about to remove it cause I can't get it like I want it. Guess ill stick with the other one. Shouldn't I have this atom-feed.php file?

What you looking to do Ryan?

I put together a little different presentation of the alert box on my site.
This worked with the SWSPAlertBox before, so this is my NWSAlertBOX.php:

Code: [Select]

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>NWS Alert Box</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0px auto 0px auto;">
 <div>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 705px; margin: 2px auto 0px auto;">

In nws-alerts
<tr>
<td style="color: #000000; background-color: #C5C55B; text-align: center">CENTRAL NEW YORK SEVERE WEATHER ALERTS
<?php
// Add nws-alerts	alert box cache file
include_once("nws-alerts-config.php");
include($cacheFileDir.$aboxFileName);
// Insert nws-alerts	alert box
echo $alertBox;
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="nws-alertmap.js"></script>
</tr></td>
</body>
</html>

And I just call the NWSAlertBOX.php on the index page.

On line 289 of nws-alerts.php you can change that line to whatever you'd like.
Mine is No Watches, Warnings or Advisories in Effect for Central New York.

The only thing I miss on the NWS vs the SWSP alerts are Short Term and Hazardous Outlooks
that were with the SWSP alert box script.

I went back to using the atom. I can't figure out how u change the wording in the alert box.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #7 on:** December 05, 2012, 11:24:05 AM »

What wording did you want to change Ryan?

cospringswx · « **Reply #8 on:** December 05, 2012, 11:37:46 AM »

Right now it says no active watches warnings or advisories for Ellis (Kansas). What file do I need to edit to change that to say something else? I'm using the atom.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #9 on:** December 05, 2012, 12:01:03 PM »

I'm not sure. I dont have that one anymore.

Look in the config file for it and search for no active watches warnings or advisories for Ellis (Kansas).

Ok thanks Tony! I can't find it. I'll keep looking. Making me mad lol.

Makes me mad too, when these things happen!

cospringswx · « **Reply #12 on:** December 05, 2012, 12:41:39 PM »

Does anyone on this forum know how to change that?

katlon · « **Reply #13 on:** December 05, 2012, 01:04:06 PM »

What do you want the heading to say?

Open atom-top-warning.php

Why'd you give up on the NWS-Alert too Ryan? Just curious.

Looks like your using the one I have. I want it to say the same as yours but for my county in KS

katlon · « **Reply #17 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:32:31 PM »

Open atom-top-warning.

Down around line 430 you will see this

Quote

$Summary = '<div class="advisoryBoxnoactive">'.$icons_warning.$title . " for zone $Zone.</div>\n";

change to:

Quote

$Summary = '<div class="advisoryBoxnoactive">'.$icons_warning.$title . " for Your County, Your State</div>\n";

I did and this didn't work for me.

Code: [Select]

   $Summary = '<div class="advisoryBoxnoactive">'.$icons_warning.$title . " for Ellis County Kansas.</div>\n";
       } else {
          $string .= '<!-- '.$title . " for zone $Zone. -->\n";

katlon · « **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2012, 03:59:01 PM »

When you call for the script on your index page it should say:

Quote

<?php include("/atom-top-warning.php"); ?>

and not:

Quote

<?php include("/atom-advisory.php"); ?>

for it to look like what's on my page.

Lonnie

cospringswx · « **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2012, 04:01:24 PM »

I see. Looks like I got all kinds of problems.

Here is what my index.php looks like

Code: [Select]

$useTopWarning = false;  // set to true to use only the rss-top-warning script
//                         set to false to use the rss-advisory script instead
?>

<div id="main-copy">
    
<?php // insert desired warning box at top of page
  if ($useTopWarning) {
	 if (phpversion() < 5.0) { 
       include_once("rss-top-warning.php");
	 } else {
	   include_once("atom-top-warning.php");
	 }
  } else {
   print "      <div class=\"advisoryBox\">\n";
   $_REQUEST['inc'] = 'y';
   $_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y';
   if (phpversion() < 5.0) {
     include_once("rss-advisory.php");
   } else { 
     include_once("atom-advisory.php");
   }
   print "      </div>\n";
  }
?>

It appears as though you are using a template page. I have never used one of them so don't want to screw you up. You would be better off letting someone using a template like yours help you out. Sorry.

Ok Thanks for your help Lonnie.

Does anyone know how to change the top warning to display the county name instead of the zone code? I run another website and you can see at the top the zone is FLC071 but would like to call Lee (Florida) instead? You can see it here. Ideas?

That's pretty much the same thing I'm trying to do but can't figure it out.
