Topic: Weather Sticker Question

[mblanton]

While strictly not relatated to OS hardware I thought I'd ask this here.....How are you guys adding those neat Weather Stickers to your signatures in forum posts???

Looking at your webpage (nice by the way!) I see you have a WU banner at the top. You could add something like that to your forum signature by copying that code into your forum/ profile/ forum profile information/ signature section. Just be sure you use the format with the  "url=http://http:...  .../url leading and following.
Is that what you're asking?

Or are you asking about a signature similar to mine below?

If so, some of us create our own weather graphics, using the wxgraphic scripts from Anole Computer Services LLC. http://scripts.anolecomputer.com/download.shtml. Download wxgraphic_6.3.zip, extract, configure, upload and display for your visitors.  It will also require that you either have VWS or Weatherlink, or Weather Display, or Weather View as your primary station software.  You will need the ability to process PHP on your website as well.

You can even encourage your users/viewers to display it on their web page or signatures.  Here is my page.  http://www.mountcrawfordweather.org/graphicwx.html

I'm one of them Sam is referring to, using wxgraphic script from Anole. A great script, thanks to Anole 

Before i got it i wanted a banner/sticker like that for some time, but with my knowledge in PHP is like zero 

But with some help from Lars in Axelvold and Ken (Saratoga) i got it  It' was easier than i thought 

With these fellows here on this forum, i feel the help is always not far away if it is something anybody has a problem.

I don't understand how to format this.  Can you be more specific or give me an example? I'm new to HTML programming.

Dan was saying to use bb code, not HTML.  Clickable signature in bb is one of the harder ones to do, not intuitive...trial and error to get correct.  Here you go.

Thanks for the help. I would have never figured that out myself.
