Topic: Banner Header and Signature help

[txweather.org]

Team,

I am not a graphics expert and by far from a good photographer

I was wondering if somebody can give me some hints on how to add a nice border to my image banner on my site header. Also how do you guys make your banner signature and display your data?

TIA!

I answer the banner question my self

wxgraphics.

Thanks!

Still one question at large.

Myrank9,

there is a php application that creates this images and parses your weather display values.
It's called wxgraphics.

Regards.

Awesome! May I ask where you inserted it into your code?

Might be after the color declarations in the code.  I'm not sure how similar the weewx version is to Cumulus, but I added the following to get the background image.  Obviously you need to have the bg image stored somewhere on your site for the script to put in there:

Code: [Select]

/*
  $baseimg = imagecreatefromjpeg("images/background.jpg");

  imagecopy($im,$baseimg,0,0,0,0,$SITE['image_width'], $SITE['image_height']);
  imagedestroy($baseimg);
 */

Whats the link to your website?

Thanks BigOkie

I keep it internal because I'm serving it from a machine in my house.  I don't disclose it for that reason.

That doesn't mean sometime down the road I won't publish it to a third-party server.  I have one ready.  I just have so much time invested on it the way it is right now, it will take some doing to move it to a new server.  If people want to know what my weather is, click on my banner and it takes you to my WU page.

I know that's not the same, but I'm not quite ready to move it.  If something happens to the webserver, it's up to me to fix it.  Not some data center in Utah or wherever.

Fair enough! That's great that your hosting it internally. More power to you, thanks again for the help
