NOAA zone instead of County displayed

[jdpsys]

On my index page I'm getting:
There are no active watches, warnings or advisories for zone TXZ147.

On the full advisory page I do get the county.

The setting seem to be correct.

I changed settings.php and the atom advisory file and mine worked.

I'm having the same issue...it shows up correctly on the wx-advisory.php  page,  but on the index.php page, still shows the zone #.

I would actually prefer a custom statement, such as "Raytown, MO USA" instead of the county name.  Where can I adjust that?

[hayskswx]

I'd like it to display Hays,Kansas also. Mine displays the county (Ellis)

I'll work on a replacement that will display Both county and zone warnings ..
be an easy fix

For the USA-templates, the Settings.php item $SITE['noaazone'] is used by three scripts:

for warning zone by atom-advisory.php and atom-top-warning.php and
for forecasts (in backup mode) by advforecast2.php

The intent was that the value in $SITE['noaazone'] be the Zone (not the County) code so all three scripts could use the same value.  If $SITE['noaazone'] is set to the County code, then the forecast may not be available if your point-printable forecast is not available.

I understand that some warnings may be issued by NOAA only in the County codes, and not the Zone codes, and that leads folks to want to use the County code in $SITE['noaazone'].  In a future release, I'll add a provision to have $SITE['noaazone'] use the Zone for forecast backup and an optional new setting to specify the County code for warning information.   

If you need to use the County code for warnings, I suggest you do the following:
1) set $SITE['noaazone'] to your forecast Zone (not County)
2) edit the atom-advisory.php to:
  a) change the lines

Code:

if (isset ($SITE['noaazone'])) {
  $myDefaultZone = $SITE['noaazone'];
}

to

Code:

if (isset ($SITE['noaazone'])) {
//  $myDefaultZone = $SITE['noaazone'];
}

and
  b) change the line

Code:

$myDefaultZone = 'CAZ513'; // <== change this to your zone

to have your County code instead.
3) edit atom-top-warning.php to:
  a) change

Code:

if (isset($SITE['noaazone'])) {$DefaultZone = $SITE['noaazone'];}

to

Code:

// if (isset($SITE['noaazone'])) {$DefaultZone = $SITE['noaazone'];}

  b) change the line

Code:

$myDefaultZone = 'CAZ513'; // <== change this to your zone

to have your County code instead.

Then your advisories will come from your County code, and your backup forecasts from the Zone code.

Best regards,

BTW.. it is a shame that the NWS doesn't replicate all the applicable warnings from the County codes into the affected Zones .. they must have a good reason for it.

oh but they do ..
its not in RSS/ATOM format ...
you need to supply your Zone and County in the URL to get both..

I'm taking the parts needed from top-atom-warning.php
and reformatting sections to read the data

Ken,

seeings how 90% of this script is still yours ..
I can't find where the dang () are defined in the title

http://dev.michiganwxsystem.com/test/wxindex.php

added support for Fire Zone for those of you that have a Fire Zone
different from your regular Warning/Forecast zone

Looks like the () are remnants from a removal of a state or county name.  Hard to tell without seeing the source of the script

[k8jsl]

pm me an email address ..
I'll zip it up and send it

[saratogaWX]

Done.
