WU-radar-inc.php
« on: September 07, 2020, 01:59:51 PM »
Hi guys. Has WU killed the radar that the WU-radar-inc.php file uses? I'm showing a broken image now at https://www.joe4speed.com/wxradar.php.

Thanks for having a look!

I fear that WU is discontinuing their classic radar display.  I suggest you convert to the NWS script in the Base USA template and abandon the WU-radar-inc.php script.  They've already pruned back the auxiliary maps available, and the configuration directions no longer work (due to WU website design changes) to get the URLs needed for the region/city map displays.  I'm going to deprecate the WU-radar-inc script from the template set .. it's a losing battle with WU as they switch everything to 'wundermap'.

Aw, man, what a shame. They've really ruined what was once such a great weather website. :(
Would you happen to have a link to the NWS radar script?
Thank you for the info, Ken!

Hi Joe,
No need.. since your Base-USA template site is current with maintenance  \:D/ , you already have it at https://www.joe4speed.com/wxnwsradar.php  8-)

Just replace the wxradar.php with a copy of wxnwsradar.php and you're good to go (and free of WU-radar).
