OK, it should be ok now, but I only set your default one. I left the other ones in the select box.

Well at least I set you default one for now, which is what most people see when they first enter your site. What you set for the other ones is really up to you.

Now that you have your website working, I have one suggestion - make a backup copy of all of your files to a separate area on your disk or to a thumb-drive. That will give you a means of restoring to a known, working website should you accidentally make a mistake while making updates and refine your website. It will save you a lot of time and frustration should something go wrong. Do this on a regular basis and you'll always have a working version ready to go, if necessary.

BTW, congratulations, you've come a long way since your first post in this thread 14 days ago!  =D>  Keep going, take it step by step and before long you'll be an 'expert' in PHP...  ;)

Hi,
in Meteobridge you can set sending data to either built-in weather networks (including some templates like mine), or you can set sending data to FTP with a format you define. I assume you are using Saratoga, in which case if I remember correctly you send data via FTP using the predefined file template, but unfortunately I never used Ken´s template so I recommend asking him directly or someone else using this template

If i recall correctly i think i set up the whole ftp upload stuff, i just can't seem to find, at least yet,  what needs tip be updated regularly,  etc. The real time info stuff,  temp forecast etc.

I've had little to no time to re-read through all the posts.

Don't forget to have Meteobridge use the gen-MBtags.php as the template source to create MBtags.php in the Meteobridge setup.

The screenshots shown in the link Jachym posted (thanks!) are for an earlier version of Meteobridge, but the instructions about WHAT to use are still valid.

You'd use http://wthrmn654.bravehost.com/gen-MBtags.php for the template and FTP MBtags.php to your site.

Then use http://wthrmn654.bravehost.com/wxstatus.php to show if the setup was successful (current data posted).

FTP issues can be caused by:
1) invalid userid or password for FTP
2) invalid hostname
3) using Active instead of Passive for connection type (some hosts are particular about that)
4) using the wrong path for the uploaded filename.  You have to specify public_http or httpdocs (depends on webhoster) usually
  for mine, I have to use 'httpdocs/MBtags.php' to get it to work.

What does the Meteobridge status say for the FTP upload on the 'Live Data' tab?

If the "Live" tab in MB is blank then there is a general issue in the communication between your station and MB. In such case this is what you must solve first. If nothing is on the Live tab, MB is not getting any data and wont send anything to your website even if the FTP was set correctly.

alright so i left the path blank to do test, and i think success... System Message

FTP test upload successfully done, file 'test-upload' stored on FTP server

now i need to double check the files im sending so far nothing but maybe soon success. i believe that the default pathway was altered somehow so that should now be fixed..
