Hi @,

Damn what's going on?
Why does myqsl no longer work with the latest version of Weather Display today.

Piet
Sadly Piet it is no longer supported.

so before anyone comes to assumptions let me explain honestly .

I have taken this decision because it has become somewhat messy to develop with for weather display software , i contacted brian the weather display developer this morning explaining my decision , however I was open to finding a common ground to resolve but he took the decision to go down the public forum road and look for the sympathy vote .

Over the last few days the weather display api had extra data appearing and a broken url structure causing the loss of some the values towards the end of the url . this caused the template to go out of sync with certain values , I was only aware of these extra values after checking some of the end user wd.txt files and started recieving frequent emails of extra sensors and out of sync data particularly trend data.

Now has he said he sent an email and sent me a screenshot so fair enough but I don't have that email originally sent , so communication breakdown ,but there is a resolving point but no unfortunately its turned into a personal accusation  and a slippery slope to no resolve and pointless rhetorics perhaps like this  . he chose that route , Im quite open minded and have no problems in admitting to I am wrong but its a private email exchange discussion and had room for resolve to go public well there you are no point of return end of project as far Im concerned .

take any judgement you wish but the lack of communication is a fundamental breakdown of any working or development process its just a recipe for a mess and unreliable outcome which thats exactly what happened . Its nigh on impossible to produce anything reliable without some form of communication. Ive always said collaboration equals success and in this case there was none.

So my sincere apologies throw any opinion you want at me at the end of the day it is a hobby to me not an income or a business I have no self egoistic
goals of a user count what matters to me is reliability and something that works , if it dont work I see no point in keep distriibuting something that is problematic.

I will just focus on Meteobridge and Cumulus for the near future and when the weatherflow hardware comes out of field test period I will focus on that.

choice is always yours there is absolutely no opinion from me in what you use what matters is it suits you and works reliably .

dont forget there are numerous templates that work with weather display the original reliable saratoga , lueven,meteotemplate and so on they are all
good alternatives so throw your ideas and encouragement at those .

and the last part of this rhetoric is there are two sides to every story Im not trying to deny any part of the communication breakdown it just wasn't there and thats it sadly.

brian..

the first time I was aware of a problem was a post from you about is all being messy and that extra data had been added (whch a user wanted added) and you posted that you had no communication about that, on a public forum

and yet I had actually emailed you that information on the 9th of nov, which i told you in the first communication I have had from you since that time
and you emailed me to say that you do not have that email so I emailed you a screen shot of that email from my email sent box

and now you are going around on a public forum saying that I had broken down the communications and yet I never heard back from you from that email I sent so I could only assume it was Ok to add the extra data etc
the extra spaces in the data are not related to extra data temp/hum data added on the end , and would have been easy enough to fix for those users affected but I was not even given a chance to do that

I have now been asked to remove the support from the software, so sorry to the users who were wanting that support, but that was not my decision

Dont worry about it Brian H., Im sorry he wasted your time like he´s done so many times before.

Is the comeback already scheduled Brian U.?
When will this thread be deleted and new one created?

It annoys me that people like Brian H., who are busy helping others then waste their time like this. When I first heard about Brians´ co-operation I told Brian H. not to waste time and here we go...

No matter how good your template is/would be, I would never use it simply because I would never know if you will delete it the next day, post about it everywhere, then come back 2 weeks later and cycle repeats. Not interested.

Think/post whatever you want about me, I dont give a *

It's been a waste of time for me try to get homeweatherstation new WD edition to fully work.  I still get 3 errors when wd.php is run as in:

Warning: mysqli_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known .../pws/wdapi/wd.php on line 16

Warning: mysqli_connect(): (HY000/2002): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in .../pws/wdapi/wd.php on line 16

Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, boolean given in...pws/wdapi/wd.php on line 35
Connect failed: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

Not ready for prime time.

How interesting it all becomes you try and be amicable and explain with honesty yet it gets twisted and you end up with a pile ruthless assumptions. I have no point in anyway insulted brian or actually made any criticism of the software itself . I was not the first to publicly post about this unfortunate situation he did himself half way  through our email exchange. As I said above there are numerous other options out there to use and it didn’t work out , I don’t hold any personal hard feelings it just the way worked and it’s unfortunate.

As for another attemp no chance what is done is done move on use the other templates that fully support the weather display software.

I stand by original comment I have not received any email from brian reference changes to the api and changes were happening as the data was added and a broken url part would not have been found. So make your assumption I’m not bitter it just simply wasn’t happening my fault or his fault what is done is done.

As for prime time your probably completely right 100%.

So sorry...brian

Anyway all is not lost

Can now simply update Weather Display and must place a file called homeweatheron.txt where WD is installed.  :grin:

So there you are if brian wants to distribute the last known wd   version and support it that’s is fine by me but let’s be clear I can not support and will not distribute . He is free to make any changes he wishes to suit WD and you are free to choose wether you want to use it or not .

That was clearly set out in my email originally I no longer wish to develop or support it for WD.

So it’s in his court he decides not me as I said I have no hard feelings one bit .

Brian

Brian H and Brian U, your email communications may have been thwarted by a recent weather-watch.com issue with sending to gmail addresses .. see: this post.  It was fixed on 21-Nov-2017 and likely started with the server outage around 11-Nov-2017.  If your correspondences were missing during that period, then that explains a 'lack of response'.  Just a theory...

If this is the case Brain U and Brain H might it be possible to bury the battle ax.
So that the Weather Display user can also update everything.

it was a normal email, not a forum PM, and he was getting my emails before
he knows it was not a PM because I showed him a screen shot of the email and it showed the email address it was sent to


Brian U told me to remove it from weather display
and so I did as he told me

but of course I then got emails from users about that
so I made a back door method to still get the updates working, and told only 2 people, and said that was secret
one of those 2 people have then told Brian U about that, and now he is like all fine with that, and says the ball is in my court?

sorry but once burnt like this by him, not again, I have seen this happen to others he has worked with, and seen so many threads he has deleted and started again, I have lost count on this forum and the WD forum, its not possible to work with someone like that who is so unpredicatable, and who only provides enough of the story to make him look like the hero, sorry

Hi, I used the Ambient weather page since 2005, links no longer work. I've downloaded the weather34 files and then uploaded to my IPage browser. Can't seem to get the thing going and use the easyweatherstartup.hph instruction with no results. I have a pro II with weatherlink.

what am i missing? Looking for someone to walk me through it. love the layout of the page.

Thank you very much for the gorgeous weather dashboard. I've installed it successfully.

However, there were problem with the Forecast and Conditions tab where it won't show data (I put the right WU api key). I also cannot save the setting due to permission problem on setting1.php.

I solved them by modifying permission to www-data with read/write permission to jsondata folder and setting1.php file.

One question is if I would like to swap the webcam board with the other board, which file I should look into.

Hi Kevin

Sorry for not following this thread but think your all ok now it’s always worth scrutinizing the phpmyadmin screen at the top for database info . In your case localhost:3303 for future reference .

As above apologies for not following . Take a look at webcamsmall.php if you have php knowledge you can mess around with that file to custom to your preferences.

I've been using my cheap android (6.0) tablet (1024x768) for my weather display console, always on. I open it with Chrome browser.
The problem is the webcam section does not refresh. I regularly create my webcam jpg every 5 minutes.
Please help.

Hi Ian,

I replace the cam.php with your script (and replace with my webcam image url inside). The small webcam image as appeared on the main (index.php) dashboard is still not auto refreshed. However, the big "Live Webcam" is auto-refreshed.

Please advise...thanks.

Hi,

My own webcam is not connected at the moment as you have probably noticed.

You just need to apply a similar routine for the small image

Hi,

You have probably noticed that my own webcam is not connected at the moment so cannot show you a real-time example. However, if you apply a similar routine to the smaller image it should update as well.

Always make sure that your file permissions are correct.

Hi Ian,

Thank you.

I've amended the webcamsmall.php as follows and it works great...thanks again.

Original code section:
<img src="http://myweb.com/image.jpg?version=<?php echo filemtime("http://myweb.com/image.jpg");?>" alt="weathercam" class="webcam">

replaced by the code below (refresh every 30sec):
<img src="http://myweb.com/image.jpg?version=<?php echo filemtime("http://myweb.com/image.jpg");?>" alt="weathercam" class="webcam" id="reloader" onload="setTimeout('document.getElementById(\'reloader\').src=\'http://myweb.com/image.jpg?\'+new Date().getMilliseconds()', 30000)" />

With the latest version (Feb 22) I am experiencing a problem with the eu alerts. I have homenotification.php configured on the top right. My web server is logging excessive timeouts for this script. Investigation shows that on the first line the script "warnings/get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php" is being included.

That script calls www.meteoalarm.eu which, at this time at least, is timing out. Now, I have eualerts set to "no" in my config so that call to include this script is, effectively, useless.

I suggest you modify the code as I did to:
Code: [Select]
<?php include('livedata.php');include('common.php'); if ($eualert=='yes') {include('warnings/get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php');};header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');date_default_timezone_set($TZ);?>

Is there any further development planned for the Meteobridge/MySQL based charts (mbcharts)? I had to hack a couple places to make it work in the 2/22 code drop. I'm considering a total rewrite of it to better exploit the database but don't want to do anything if a major update is in the works.

Thanks for a great looking template!  :-)
