I had my first run with the program this morning.  I liked it, except when the alert page is finished loading, you have to scroll up to see the google map.  I'd rather the page open with google map visible to the viewer without scrolling.

Also the 2nd home page using modified AltDashboard 6.95 at http://stillwaterweather.com/2ndhome.php

Open nws-alerts-details-inc.php
Find and delete this line:
Code: [Select]
<a name="WA'.$aav[13].'" id="WA'.$aav[13].'"></a>
Save the file and upload it.

I like that better, too.

Hi Curly,

Where do I permanently change the text in the advisory box on the index page from "No alerts" to "No Watches, Warnings or Advisories in Effect for Eastern Vermont, New Hampshire and Western Maine.". I had this working once but after an update I can't seem to find the location to change.  The index page can be seen at http://www.johnsnhweather.com/

Thanks for your help.

John

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>

I have no idea on this. The program is running like it should.
Are you using a cron job to run the program?

  Curly I noticed if I turn the Task Scheduler off my Guest goes offline...When I turn it back on to run the nws-alerts.php my Guest reappears and stays connected up to 80 hours one time so far..the Guest is MY servers IP  ?

What time interval (in minutes) is set in the task scheduler to run the nws-alerts.php file?
What program is giving you the 80 hours?

10 minute interval and who's online was showing this...right now it's showing over 5 hours as I have been turning the interval on and off for testing today!

10 minute interval and who's online was showing this...

Manually running the program is working properly and it takes about 8 seconds run.
So the information, 80 hours, is the next possible source to look over.
How many days did it take to log the 80 hours ?   20 days?

Who's online has this:
Quote
2    Visitor(s) online (Considered inactive after 5 minutes. Removed after 15 minutes)

This is my theory since I don't use who's online.
I believe who's online is recognizing the nws-alerts.php file being ran every ten minutes and is continually cycling active and inactive for 24 hours a day.

Thanks Curly I think I will increase the time between intervals and see what happens....maybe evey 30 minutes...

I just encountered a problem with nws-alerts, Curly.  We have a freeze warning issued locally, but it isn't showing up in my alerts.  Have I misconfigured something?

Atom Alerts displays it while nws-alerts doesn't.  (Don't click the links unless you have a fast broadband connection!)

Makes sure that both zone and county codes are correct.

The file nws-alerts.php wasn't updating.
After I manually ran the file, the Freeze Warnings showed up.
How is the nws-alerts.php file called and at what intervals? Cron? Task Scheduler? Every 10 minutes?

Thanks, Curly!

I had a CRON job set up under System Scheduler, but somehow while I was fiddling around recently with WD and other CRON jobs on that computer the CRON job got hosed because while the minutes to run (every 10) were still there, the hours to run (every hour) had gone missing.  #-o All fixed now, and thanks again! :-)

The alert box shows all.
Removing duplicate events is the only option to limit the amount of alerts.

I must be stupid because I cannot get the errors at the top of my site to clear. This is what I am getting, not sure if it is permissions or I have screwed up the config. Any help is appreciated.
