Home Page Radar Map
« on: August 15, 2018, 02:04:52 PM »
I'm wondering how to get the radar image on my front page (moodyweather.ca) to be animated (basically a copy of the one on the Radar/Regional Radar page).

Looking at the code in the index.php file, it shows the following for the radar section:

           $_REQUEST['site'] = 'PAC'; // one of the sites above, or your radar designator
           $doPrint = false;
           include_once("ec-radar.php");

This is the code section in the Regional Radar wxradarregional.php file:

  $_REQUEST['site'] = 'PAC'; // one of the sites above, or your radar designator
  $doInclude = true;
  $doPrint = true;
  include_once("ec-radar.php");

My question is, if, in the index.php file, I simply change the '$doPrint' to True and add the '$doInclude = true;' line (above '$doPrint' so they match), would that change it to an animated map, or would I also have to make some kind of alteration to the next line in the index.php file:
         <img src="<?php echo $radarDir . 'radar-' . $_REQUEST['site'] . '-0.png'; ?>"


I could just go ahead and try it, but I'd rather get confirmation on this before I experiment on a live site.   :grin:
