Topic: wxmetar.php - icons no longer appearing

[tshattuck]

Hello:
I am now using the new 86px x 86px Dual Image Icons and in page wxmetar.php no icons appear. The icons appear okay on my home page and on the Local Forecasts page - wxforecast.php.
What do I need to change to get the wxmetar.php script to use the new icons?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm sure Ken will come up with a simple fix.  My somewhat roundabout fix goes like this:
In 'wxmetar.php' I changed

Code: [Select]

$condIconDir = './ajax-images/';  // directory for ajax-images with trailing slash
$condIconType = '.gif'; // default type='.jpg' -- use '.gif' for animated icons from http://www.meteotreviglio.com/
to

Code: [Select]

$condIconDir = './forecast/images/';  // directory for ajax-images with trailing slash
$condIconType = '.png'; // default type='.jpg' -- use '.gif' for animated icons from http://www.meteotreviglio.com/
and added

Code: [Select]

$windDir  = './ajax-images/'; while leaving

Code: [Select]

$wrType   = '.gif';      // extension of the graphic filename
alone.

Then in 'include-metar-display.php' I changed

Code: [Select]

     <?php if(isset($mtr['WIND'])) { ?>

  <img src="<?php echo $condIconDir; ?>spacer.gif" width="1"

    height="<?php echo $wrHeight; ?>" alt=" " align="left"/>

  <?php $wr = $condIconDir . $wrName . $dirlabel . $wrType; // normal wind rose

        $wr = preg_replace('|varies|','calm',$wr);

        $wrtext = langtransstr('Wind from') ." " . langtransstr($dirlabel);

if (preg_match('!(calm|varies)!i',$mtr['WIND']) and

     ($wrCalm <> '') ) { // use calm instead

  $wr = $condIconDir . $wrCalm;

}
to

Code: [Select]

     <?php if(isset($mtr['WIND'])) { ?>

  <img src="<?php echo $condIconDir; ?>spacer.gif" width="1"

    height="<?php echo $wrHeight; ?>" alt=" " align="left"/>

  <?php $wr = $windDir . $wrName . $dirlabel . $wrType; // normal wind rose

        $wr = preg_replace('|varies|','calm',$wr);

        $wrtext = langtransstr('Wind from') ." " . langtransstr($dirlabel);

if (preg_match('!(calm|varies)!i',$mtr['WIND']) and

     ($wrCalm <> '') ) { // use calm instead

  $wr = $windDir . $wrCalm;

}
Finally in 'include-metar-display.php' I added the new global, '$windDir' to the 'newIcon($numb)' function, but I see now that neither it nor '$condIconDir' are used there, thus rendering that change superfluous.

These changes worked for me, so I stopped experimenting at that point.

Jerry:
I made the code changes as you suggested to the 2 php files and now the local metar page displays correctly. 

Thanks for bailing me out, it is much appreciated.
