There are several unclosed tags above the code interfering with the colors.
Without any alerts, the alert box has black text with a gray background. Getting the page to validate will make the alert box display like it should.

What file should I edit to change colors and size of font on alert box?

Where do I permanently change the text in the advisory box on the index page from "No alerts" to

That would be in the file nws-alerts.php
Find this line:
Code: [Select]
.'">No alerts</a></div>
Replace it with this:
Code: [Select]
.'">No Watches, Warnings or Advisories in Effect for Eastern Vermont, New Hampshire and Western Maine.</a></div>

What line is this on?

What do you use to do your coding? Can't you do a "find" or a search and replace?

Rick, how do you think the Impact Based Warning changes will make, if any, to your alert program?

Wow. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know how to make the text larger in the alert box? Someone has got to know.

Hi Ryan,

Check your .css file for watchBox, warningBox, etc.

The easiest way is to change it on your index page.
Somewhere on the index page is this line:

Code: [Select]

echo $alertBox;
Replace that line with this:

Code: [Select]

echo '<div style="font-size:110%">'.$alertBox.'</div>';
Change the 110% to the size that you want.
Or you could replace the 110% with 14px.

This doesn't work for the box with no alerts.

Open nws-alerts.php.
Find both instances of this line:

Code: [Select]

.'<div style="width:'.$aBox_Width
Replace both instances with this:

Code: [Select]

.'<div style="width:'.$aBox_Width.'; font-size:110%'
That will take care of the font size for any alert.
To change the font size for a no alert message, find this line:

Code: [Select]

$box .= ' <div style=" '.$bc.' '.$tc.' padding:4px 8px 4px 8px; text-align: center"><a href="'
Change it to this:

Code: [Select]

$box .= ' <div style="font-size:110%; '.$bc.' '.$tc.' padding:4px 8px 4px 8px; text-align: center"><a href="'

cospringswx · « **Reply #111 on:** April 01, 2013, 10:11:30 PM »

This is what I put and no changes?

Code: [Select]

     .'<div style="width:'.$aBox_Width.'; font-size:17px'
         .'; border:solid thin #000; margin:0px auto 0px auto;">'."\n";
    if($showNone) {                                                                          //   IF showing "NONE', create alert box with No Alert
      $box .= ' <div style="font-size:19px; '.$bc.' '.$tc.' padding:4px 8px 4px 8px; text-align: center"><a href="'
           .$summaryURL.'" title=" &nbsp;View summary" style="text-decoration:none; '.$tc
           .'">There are currently no active warnings, watches, or advisories in effect</a></div>

Any changes won't take affect until nws-alerts.php is ran.
Did you wait?

Thanks Curly. One last thing.How do I put text above like shown here http://www.cnyweather.com/index.php where his Central New York Severe Weather Alerts is?

CNYWeather · « **Reply #115 on:** April 02, 2013, 07:42:37 AM »

Ryan, I modified my NWSAlertBOX.php like so:

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;">
<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>

Here's what it looks like: http://www.cnyweather.com/NWSAlertBOX.php

Then I just do a php include on my main page.

cospringswx · « **Reply #116 on:** April 02, 2013, 12:21:41 PM »

I didn't have a NWSALERTBOX.php on my server so I made one. Is this correct? Is there anything else to edit? Then what?

http://hayskansasweather.com/nwsalertbox.php

cospringswx · « **Reply #117 on:** April 02, 2013, 03:08:19 PM »

Here is my index.php where the box is. What do I need to edit in this section?

Code: [Select]

?>

</head>
<body>
<?php include("nws-alerts.php"); ?>
<?php
############################################################################
include("header.php");
############################################################################
include("menubar.php");
############################################################################
//
$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(isset($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) and count($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) > 0) {
// Add nws-alerts alert box cache file
include_once("nws-alerts-config.php");
include($cacheFileDir.$aboxFileName);
// Insert nws-alerts alert box
echo '<div style="font-size:14px">'.$alertBox.'</div>';
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="nws-alertmap.js"></script>
<?php
} else { // use atom scripts of choice
if ($useTopWarning) {
include_once("atom-top-warning.php");
} else {
print " <div class=\"advisoryBox\">\n";
$_REQUEST['inc'] = 'y';
$_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y';
include_once("atom-advisory.php");
print " </div>\n";
}
}
?>

SRY, busy day here Ryan.

Did you check out the index.php I sent you?

cospringswx · « **Reply #119 on:** April 03, 2013, 04:30:45 PM »

Yes. Mine shows only the top of it and not the bottom part. Can't figure it out. Figured out windows task scheduler to add multiple counties.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #120 on:** April 03, 2013, 04:54:19 PM »

put the snippet of your index up for me to look at later Ryan.

Where the <div id="main-copy"> after your sidebar in the index.php file begins
I think you're missing something because it doesnt look like my source code.

cospringswx · « **Reply #121 on:** April 04, 2013, 04:02:39 AM »

I think I got it here http://hayskansasweather.com/index.php
Thanks Tony for the help. I didn't do a php include I put a code in and it worked.

Saunookweather · « **Reply #122 on:** April 04, 2013, 08:40:05 AM »

Got it working on my site. Hope you don't mind me using it Tony.
Thanks for coming up with that code.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #123 on:** April 04, 2013, 09:10:55 AM »

Yep, not a problem guys. There's probably a better way to do it
and maybe one of the wizards of php will figure it out.

cospringswx · « **Reply #124 on:** April 05, 2013, 01:07:42 PM »

What does everyone have the setting set to on line 52 on nws-alerts-config? In other words how to you just have the advisory listed and the counties follow besides every county with duplicate advisories?

Code: [Select]

$sortbyEvent   = 0;                         // 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
