It takes time, patience and tinkering. I did a wayback of my site, looked just like yours does now.

Thanks again! Anyone know how to get my location added to the text.The current monitor htx code looks for a station location but its not showing on web site! dont know where the station location comes from.I can just edit the htx file and put my town and state in there but that would be cheating LOL

From the HELP file...
Open WeatherLink.

If WeatherLink has more one than one weather station installed, select the weather station you want to provide data for your web page. This should match the station selected above.

Choose NOAA Setup from the Reports Menu. In the City and State fields, enter your city and state. These entries are used to create the City and State HTML tags.

Choose Set Latitude/Longitude from the Setup Menu. Enter your latitude and longitude settings. These settings are used to calculate the sunrise and sunset HTML tags.

With a bit of fiddling, perhaps it will look like mine:

Yes, I know it's "old style". But I'm that way, too.

Good mourning all! I only have one weather location used and when i look at my NOAA monthly report all the location data is present on top.Now i checked off the NOAA current monthly in the upload box in profile 1 and no location data in my current monitor html on the drive.Do i need to add a path for the NOAA monthly data to see? UPDATE!! I see that a NOAA monthly text file is uploaded but thats all! now i know im missing something LOL

Bushman · « **Reply #30 on:** June 25, 2015, 09:53:31 AM »

When you view the uploaded NOAA report (on the remote server) does it show the location info?

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #31 on:** June 25, 2015, 10:04:13 AM »

What i have read and heard is that the stations location is reverenced in the noaa station file.When i bring up my monthly noaa info the station location is there on top.I checked off the monthly noaa to be uploaded which sends a noaa monthly text file to my web server.Any other file i should be looking for?Station location still not being displayed on my web page

Does the station line in your .HTX (not the HTM!!) file look EXACTLY like this?

<TITLE>Current Weather Conditions at , </TITLE>

Note that things like line feeds, returns etc. can muck this up. How are you editing the .htx file?

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #33 on:** June 25, 2015, 10:42:36 AM »

I view the htx with free file viewer

The only thing I can think of is that your station name/location has illegal characters in it (spaces, punctuation) or its directory is not where Weatherlink expects it to be. But that doesn't explain why it finds the data.

You could create a new station and just load it with one of your .WLK files to test it. BTW, what operating system are you using?

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #35 on:** June 25, 2015, 11:33:41 AM »

on my xp labtop! this i will use 24/7 when web page complete. I could load software on my win 7 tower to check things out! but wont do that unless i get no solutions.Its not a real big deal and i can live with it for now.Another thing i might try is use a newer stations templates to try out.

Bushman · « **Reply #36 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:23:16 PM »

Try a different template. Over the years/versions have behaved differently. Who knows if the Monitor template is correctly supported in your version of WL?

dalecoy · « **Reply #37 on:** June 25, 2015, 01:47:30 PM »

Stan, what version of WeatherLink are you using?

Now, what happens if you:
Click on Setup
Choose Set Latitude/Longitude

?

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #38 on:** June 25, 2015, 02:46:25 PM »

5.9.3 is the version! i got that when i upgraded from 4.0 a few yrs back.I checked long and lat in set up and thats still set from when i got the new software.

...so, what are they set to? (just checking that the settings follow what WeatherLink wants)

And upgrading to version 6.0.1 or so might be a reasonable thing to do.

CW2274 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 25, 2015, 03:05:21 PM »

6.0.3 is available if wanted.

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #41 on:** June 25, 2015, 03:31:03 PM »

ok heres a update! i have two weatherlinks on my drive! one was the original in the c directory called pc link ver 4. This is where i started using weatherlink years ago on this laptop.The other was a upgrade that davis gave me a few years ago which im thinking is not a upgrade because that went into its own folder on the c drive! that ver is 5.9.3.(the current one im using).I just did a upgrade from davis web site and it was installed over the original pc link 4.0 software.This version is 6.0.3.What files do i need to bring over to the pc link folder with the 6.0.3 version on it from the 5.9.3 folder where all my current data is stored.

Just replace ,  with your city and name. Don't worry about inputting in into WL.

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #43 on:** June 25, 2015, 03:39:06 PM »

dont know if this makes a difference but when i started with 5.9.3 i got confused on importing the data so i started a new station name with all new data! that old data is still back on the orignial

Except that if City and State are not right, then lat/long might also be off which messes up a whole bunch of other things, like sunrise/set.

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #45 on:** June 25, 2015, 04:02:45 PM »

What im going to do is set up a new station in that pc link folder and name it the same as what i have been using and change any other setting to what i have been using then start using it!I should be able to inport all the other data later into the new one without a problem i hope

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #46 on:** June 25, 2015, 04:18:15 PM »

the new version is working! it will take alittle time to reset up the internet part again! i will keep all informed

stanleyjohn · « **Reply #47 on:** June 25, 2015, 04:46:49 PM »
