I haven't tried it, but could do without the WIBW news logo.

Hi Bunty,

I opened the logo part in Paint.net and cut the wibw out of it, saved it and uploaded it.

Thomas,

Where did you place the map and logo at? You also may want to locate the usa-temps-map.php file in your root directory and see if that works for you.

What do you have for this line? My usa-temps-map.php file is in the root.
Code: [Select]

[code$dirbase   = dirname(__FILE__) . '/';      // current folder where PHP file is installed]


Hi Ryan,

Mine is located in my root directory, too.

Hi Ryan,

This line is right above the map base line in the new version of the script. Around line 67 or so.

Exactly what I have. I don't know why mine is not displaying correctly? This is what I get. http://www.hayskansasweather.com/usa-temps-map.php   This remains a mystery! #-o

I opened it in Paint and used white marker to erase the logo and added my own.  :grin:

That's strange, Ryan. Ours look just alike for the exception of the logo name.  I don't get that. I wonder if you need to put a "/" or even "./" on the front of these 3. Reason I say that is because of the differences in the way folks set up their servers.


$map_base  = $dirbase . 'images/usa-weather-base2.png';
$logo      = $dirbase . 'images/usa-hayswx-logo.png';

$text_font = $dirbase . 'fonts/franklin_medium_condensed.ttf';

Mine is set up like /web

I tried a ./  and then just a / in front of all 3 and it was a no go.  :shock:

Try putting all three files in the root directory and remove the folder from the filenames:

Code: [Select]
$map_base = $dirbase . 'usa-weather-base2.png';
$logo         = $dirbase . 'usa-wibw-logo.png';

$text_font  = $dirbase . 'franklin_medium_condensed.ttf';

Any way of doing this with humidity, pressure, wind speed, and so on? Boy if there was and I could figure out what in sam hill to do to make it work  #-o I'd drop my subscription to my current service in a minute!

You can use anything from the XML file:

Don't work. Hey Thanks for the script. After 3 days of  ](*,) trying to get it to work I've had enough.

You all work too hard...
Give it a second to load, it's all experimental.

Your way is far better, can zoom in or out as much as I want.  It's one heck of an interactive weather map with national temps just the start.  Cool and well done.  From what I can tell the experiment is going well.

Nice find, Steve!  \:D/  This brings together lots of high resolution graphics into one place while it sort of puts to shame the older lower resolution graphics.

There's even a map that displays a 'Cold Advisory for Newborn Livestock'! :-)

Clicking on a map also produces an interesting result.  I'm gonna put it an iframe, too.

I did the survey and sent them my comments. I hope in the final version, they can bypass all of the header stuff on the page, and just load the map full screen like the EDD page. Enough surveys with comments asking for that will make our pages much easier to create and maintain.

Can someone explain what needs to be changed in the script to save the image to a folder and then set up a cron job. Thanks.

Hey, any reason why we can not share in this map? Would love to have that ability on my site. I would like to place that in an iframe only because it is generally wider than my viewing area.  Same thing with the EDD map. Any thoughts on offering to tot us poor folk who come nowhere near your talent level?

All of the NWS stuff is public domain, it's free to share.

Here's mine using this iframe:  <iframe src="http://preview.weather.gov/graphical/?zoom=5&lat=42&lon=-100.22163&layers=00BTTFTT&region=0&element=5&mxmz=true&barbs=false&subl=TTFFF&units=english&wunits=english"  scrolling="no" width="1200" height="900" style="background-color:navy;"></iframe>

Sorry for being gone so long, been a busy holiday season so far.

I am re-working the code to support additional information besides the temperature and simplifying the whole thing.

I'm hoping to have it available before Christmas, but no promises.  I'm in the middle of two site redesigns and producing a new video branding package for our radio stations.

I'm also working on some scripts for creating images sized and designed for posting on Facebook.  We want to post weather image updates on our Facebook pages every 4 hours.  While I'll be able to post the scripts for creating those images, I can't post the script for automatic Facebook posts because it's something I bought and modified for my own purpose (http://codecanyon.net/item/facebook-page-post-generator/5556768).

I really got inspiration for it from Steve at Dacula weather, so we both owe him thanks.  Thanks, Steve.
