Topic: Support of the "Leuven" Forecast scripts

[meteosa]

Hi Wim,
I was wondering if it is possible that the pop-up in the graph follows the mouse when it is on the line and not just on the left, I'll give you an example:

It was discussed and designed this way a long time ago.

But it is adaptable in the javascript-code.

hi, sorry but I can't figure out how to integrate the tooltip that follows the mouse.
thanks

And i can not do anything if there is no link to the website and the script you are talking about.

I am not clairvoyant.
I checked old posts, they point to https://www.meteosantangelo.it  but there are no links to Leuven scrtipts.
I checked the donations but could not find a link there either, not for meeosa and not for meteosantangelo

Giving a how to do that without any guarantee (garanzia)
Find a line like:

Code: [Select]

tooltip: {
                        positioner: function () {return { x: 0};},
change that to

Code: [Select]

tooltip: {
                   //     positioner: function () {return { x: 0};},
So you set to comment the "set position at x=0."
Then the default is used, which is following the cursor

One Google search "Hichcharts tooltip fixed" would have given a dozen or more examples, including https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/tooltip.positioner

Succes,

I can confirm that this works.

Sorry you are right,
here is the link: https://www.meteosantangelo.it/wsfct4/wsFctWxsimDPage.php
I managed to change the tooltip, thank you very much.
I close another thing, is it possible to change the graph icons from "default" to those of "yrno"? I do not find the possibility to choose in the settings, including those related to the "Icons", "Forecast", "6-hour interval forecast", "Forecast details" sections.
Thanks

One can select either the icons from the provider or the default icons.

The setting is in  _metric-settings. php , _us-settings. php or _ca-settings. php   line  25 set it from true (default) to false

Code: [Select]

#-----------------------------------------------
#                   use our default icons (true)
#            or set to false for forcaster icons
$yourIconDefault= false; #

Hi Wim,
I did some tests and I think I found the reason of the problem:
I use wsFctWxsimDPage.php for the desktop site and wsFctWxsimDSmall.php for the mobile version, where the display of $ws_wxsimP_heading is disabled on the latter.
So, if the cache files are created or updated from DSmall.php, $ws_wxsimP_times is not displayed on wsFctWxsimDPage.php (probably because $ws_wxsimP_heading and $ws_wxsimP_times are disabled) - correct me if I'm wrong, please try this test too.
Would it be possible to fix the code so that $ws_wxsimP_times is created even if $ws_wxsimP_heading='not'?

Thanks in advance with best wishes for a Merry Christmas
Norbert

Hi Wim,
I use wsFctWxsimDPage.php for the desktop site and wsFctWxsimDSmall.php for the mobile version, where the display of $ws_wxsimP_heading is disabled on the latter.

I assume you find my forecast scripts and documentation pleasant to use. Nice forecasts, easy adaptable isn't?
You are using them on different platforms in different formats without having to write 1 line of code.

Would it be possible to fix the code so that $ws_wxsimP_times is created even if $ws_wxsimP_heading='not'?

One enhances code if there are new features to be installed.
One updates code if the external code is upgraded or changed such as PHP5 -> 7 > 8.
One fixes something such as my code, if there are errors.

Your problem is "solved" by a user setting which can be switched on or off.

Lines 69-71 in wsFctWxsimDSmall.php should read

Code: [Select]

#    the forecast time and expected new forecast
$ws_wxsimP_times        = true;       
#$ws_wxsimP_times        = false;

Also the best wishes for 2025,
Wim

P.S.
Why is a setting used for this?
Computing resources are not unlimited, at least they were severely limited when I started coding 55 years ago.
Therefor one does not generate and save on disk unneeded data.


P.S.
@ALL  Rethink "Do I you need support and adaptions a.s.o. in the future?"
There is a donation button on my demo and download page
And you can find them on all websites where you downloaded the other donation-ware you are using. The authors of the code you depend on to run a website will be grateful.

Hi,
a question, why in the mmet.no forecasts in the "6-hour interval forecast" and "Icons" table you don't see the first image?
https://www.meteosantangelo.it/wsfct4/wsFctMetnoPage4.php
https://www.meteosantangelo.it/wsfct4/wsFctMetnoSmall4.php
Thanks

Because the icon information it is not always in the first raw data.
Skipping that part would also mean loosing the other available data.

Hi Wim,
Many thanks for your great forecast script. I have been using it on my site for several years.
I only have one issue though which I have tried to figure out for ages without success. On the 'Hourly Forecast' tab, sometimes the forecast shows details for the current day, and sometimes it jumps to the next day instead, and I can't figure out why it does this. Do you have any suggestions ?

Forecast page: https://www.portgordon.net/weather/wx_lvn_metno.php

Hi Andrew,

I checked a few times past days but did not find that situation.
I will continue to check fior a few days more.

Hi Wim,

Thanks for your response.

My issue usually happens a couple of times per day. Maybe Late morning and again late afternoon.
When it shows the following day instead.

Early this morning I saw the missing lines at your site also.
Still the wsfct4/ scripts itself on your site work OK.
But they use different settings as you use the Saratoga settings as a starting-pont.

I myself have no working saratoga site so  I copied the settings and the page-setup to my test-site at home.

I will now check early in the morning if i can pin-point where the problem originates.

This was a nice puzzle to find the cause of the missing 1 hr forecasts. 

Attached an updated script to solve the missing 1 hr forecasts.
wsIncMetnoCreate.php # 4.12 2025-01-10 skip incomplete 1hr parts

Make a backup of the current script before uploading the new version

As all data is cached it can take some time before new data is loaded from met.no
Use an option in the page URL ?force=metno to force a reload of the data.

Succes,
Wim

Wim,

Sorry for the late reply. I only just saw your post.
I am so grateful for your help with this. 

I will go and update it now.

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Negative: "A lot of settings" The output is cached, so you have to learn to clear the cache when testing a change in your settings.

Hi Wim, maybe this is a silly question, since there is a cache when I make any changes to the script I should delete the cache folder and do

https://www.meteoensevilla.es/wx_lvn_wxsimD.php?force=wxsim#

I can see some changes in the translations by doing that, but not in other changes

What is the correct way? Thanks

1. Changes to your general settings in _metric_settings.php (or _ca_settings.php  or _us_settings.php).
Also the settings from the Saratoga-template are used and replace some settings in the forecast settings.

2. Changes for the translations in the files in the lang/ folder.
After saving a modified script, the changes will be visible as soon as there is new data for the forecast and if the cache is invalid.

3. Changes for the forecast itself, f.i. use UV, sequence of parts, which parts to use or not use.
For WXSIM there are multiple forecast scripts already customised but every aettings  is adaptable also.
Example: 
 . . /wsfct4/wsFctWxsimDPage.php displays all available data
 . . /wsfct4/wsFctWxsimDGRAPH.php only displays the graphs only
 . . /wsfct4/wsFctWxsimPIcons.php only displays the icons from the plaintext.txt file

If you modify wsFctWxsimDPage those changes are only used when you run wsFctWxsimDPage.
The other WXSIM scriupts still have their original settings.

Important:
A common mistake is changing a setting but leaving the original setting as is.
F.i. One do not want the icons, and selected 'not' by removing the # on the first position of the line
But not forgot to set the third  line comment.
If you forget that,  the icons are still displayed.

Code: [Select]

#-----------------------------------------------
#                    the row of icons / day part
$ws_wxsimP_icons        = 'not';       # not used
#$ws_wxsimP_icons        = 'sep';       # displayed separately
$ws_wxsimP_icons        = 'tabs';       # used but combined with others into tabs

Hope this helps.

After saving a modified script, the changes you made there are visible after new data arrives and the cache is invalid.

Therefor always use ?force=wxsim after the URL if you want to reload the WXSIM data.
You can also delete the contents inside the cache/ folder.
Deleting the cache folder itself is not a good idea. That folder is always used, maybe by an other visitor.

--------------------------------

If something is not working as expected, please post the URL to the script and what changes you made are not visible.

Hi Wim, I'm very happy with your script, little by little I'm getting to know it and translating the texts. There's one thing I don't quite understand and the problem is probably something I've touched incorrectly.

In the configuration of the wsFctWxsimDPage.php script I have the option activated

$ws_wxsimP_times = true;

However, it only shows up after doing an update aņadiendo ?force=wxsim

https://www.meteoensevilla.es/wx_lvn_wxsimD.php

What could it be?

Thanks

Hello, after updating wsIncMetnoCreate.php.zip (01/25), error "undefined variable $corr_UTC" shows up.

Hello, after updating wsIncMetnoCreate.php.zip (01/25), error "undefined variable $corr_UTC" shows up.

When I check your profile, it seems you only posted about problems with the metno forecast.
In total 9 posts since 22-01-2022, 16:07:32
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=25653

• Why are you still using this script?
• You should know by now, that support is nearly impossible without the correct link (URL) to the page with the problem.
• Posting an "undefined variable" error without the line number and version of the script makes support more time consuming than necessary.
  It should be on line 96 if it is the latest version (4.12 2025-01-10) of wsIncMetnoCreate.php
• That $corr_UTC should be defined in line 97 of either wsMetnoPage.php or wsMetnoSmall.php

Succes,
Wim

@ALL
If you have problems, always post the link (URL) to your website page with the problem.

I updated the indicated files and everything works just fine now. I waited 24 hrs to see if any errors occure, but none appeared.

The fact is that I did not update lately, I thought (doh!) there were changes only for graphs, and since I do not use them, I assumed that everything would be ok.

Thank you for your prompt, qualified and professional answer.
