WeatherStory quit working
« on: June 17, 2024, 11:26:10 AM »
I noticed my Weather Story quit working over the weekend.  Thought it was a fluke.  Apparently not.

My WFO is posting them.  I'm guessing they changed something.

Thanks in advance.

92merc - Weather Story appears to be working OK here.

I just noticed none of the sites I pick are working.  I'm guessing this is similar to the legend issue where gwwilk and I can't get that to work.  And GoDaddy is the cause...

I also noticed that the Weather Stories were no longer displaying a few days ago. I was preoccupied with other script issues until this evening when I decided to have a look at the script.

Voila! A simple fix appears to work. Find in  DATA SETTINGS in wxStory_inc.php
Code: [Select]
$useCURL        = true;               // true=get data by cURL method  false=stream data
and change this switch to
Code: [Select]
$useCURL        = false;               // true=get data by cURL method  false=stream data

This worked for me with any WFO I tested, and I hope it will work for you, too.
