Morning Folks,

Thanks to wxflint and saratogaWX for the assistance last night.  I have one other issue.  There is some other characters besides the "F" on top of the thermometer.  How do I remove those?

Thanks,

John

Try This in thermometer.php

Actually, it's fairly simple

Your thermometer.php has

Code: [Select]

    $cnt = '°' . $UOM; in it, and it should read

Code: [Select]

    $cnt = '°' . $UOM; for that line.

Somehow, the degree sign got replaced with a character code, instead of the literal degree sign.

Since the GD functions only understand characters (not HTML &symbols; characters), it was just producing the ° instead of ° .

Hope this helps...
Best regards,
Ken

I had the same issue when editing my thermometer.php file with cPanels file editor seems to mess it up every time

I cant get this working, do i have to weatherflash or could i just use the regular version of VWS?

For this one you have to be uploading the weatherflash files from vws, but you do not need weatherflash installed on your site.
Andrew

ps: for the ajax scripts you need weatherflash installed on site.

how could i upload weatherflash files if i dint have it installed?

What information should there be in that file?

[mackbig]

In VWS click Internet, then Weathflash (last in menu)
Put DEMO in ID, choose a timer setting, click activate, pick a location.
Then schedule the ftp upload of the files.

There is a wflash.txt and a wflash2.txt

That's it.   Assuming you have installed Ken's PHP already

I think Lars is saying that he doesn't have WeatherFlash and is wondering if there's a work-around.

[Axelvold]

Your right Kevin, but i did do just what Andrew wrote and it did work.

[mackbig]

I know.  You dont need weatherflash.  I did not have it when I setup my thermometer.  The menu item is always in VWS.   The weatherflash actual installation is solely residing on your website, not on the pc or in vws at all.

Lars does need to install WeatherFlash on his website (so the WeatherFlash scripts to upload the data will be there).
It can run in 'DEMO' mode, and VWS needs to update the wflash.txt/wflash2.txt files using the WF PHP script.

The thermometer.php does read the wflash.txt file for the current temperature, and wflash2.txt for the min and max for the day. 

[mackbig]

well Ken is the expert, so I will obviously defer.  But I could have sworn my thermo worked, and lars's seems to be working sans wf program, just using the wf files... 

maybe it "worked" but was unsustainable with the wflash site install?  regardless i have wfalsh now on site to make ajax work....
