Topic: Alt Dashboard Configuration Issues....

[scudwatcher]

Yes Sir,
  I am attempting to install the ALT template and get Error: Notice: Underfined Variables when I log on to https://csraweather.org/ajax-dashboard6.php.  Here is how I provided the input in setting-weather.php

$SITE['WXtags']     = 'testtags.php';  // for weather variables .. we're using the old name instead of WDtags.php
$SITE['ajaxScript']     = 'ajaxWDwx3.js'; // for AJAX enabled display
$SITE['ajaxDashboard'] = './ajax-dashboard6.php';
$SITE['clientrawfile']  = 'clientraw.txt';  // directory and name of Weather-Display realtime.txt file
$SITE['graphImageDir']  = './';  // directory location for graph images with trailing /

Could you please advise what I am doing wrong?  Also, do I need to modify ajax-dashboard6.php with the correct time zone?  Thank You, Sir!

The ajax-dashboard6.php is not designed to run 'standalone', but needs to be in a wx...php page to work correctly.

For testing, make a copy of wxnewpage.php to wxaltindex.php, and edit wxaltindex.php to have the following

Code: [Select]

<div id="main-copy">
   
<?php // insert desired warning box at top of page

  if(isset($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) and count($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) > 0) {
// Add nws-alerts alert box cache file
include_once("nws-alerts-config.php");
include($cacheFileDir.$aboxFileName);
// Insert nws-alerts alert box
echo $alertBox;
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="nws-alertmap.js"></script>
<?php
  
  } else { // use atom scripts of choice
if ($useTopWarning) {
  include_once("atom-top-warning.php");
} else {
 print "      <div class=\"advisoryBox\">\n";
 $_REQUEST['inc'] = 'y';
 $_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y';
 include_once("atom-advisory.php");
 print "      </div>\n";
}
  }
?>
<div class="column-dark">
<div align="center">
  <br/>
<?php if(file_exists('USA-regional-maps-inc.php')) { include_once('USA-regional-maps-inc.php'); } ?>
<img src="<?php echo $SITE['imagesDir']; ?>spacer.gif" alt="spacer"
height="2" width="620" style="padding:0; margin:0; border: none" />
<div align="center">
<?php if(isset($SITE['ajaxDashboard']) and file_exists($SITE['ajaxDashboard']))
 { include_once($SITE['ajaxDashboard']);
   } else {
print "<p>&nbsp;</p>\n";
print "<p>&nbsp;</p>\n";
print "<p>Note: ajax-dashboard not included since weather station not yet specified.</p>\n";
        for ($i=0;$i<5;$i++) { print "<p>&nbsp;</p>\n"; }
}?>
    </div>
</div><!-- end center -->

</div><!-- end column-dark -->

</div><!-- end main-copy -->

Then try loading https://csraweather.org/wxaltindex.php

Thank You, Ken.  Will work on this later today.

Ken,
  As instructed, I created wxnewpage.php and saved it as wxaltindex.php  Inserted the code, ftp to webserver for test.  When I loaded csraweather.org/wxaltindex.php, I viewed my current ajax-dashboard.php  I moved the current ajax-dashboard.php file to a different file within my webserver root.  I loaded wxaltindex.php once again.  I viewed the new dashboard "Note: ajax-dashboard not included since weather station not yet specified."  Could you please assist once again?  Thank You.

Please post the contents of wxaltindex.php (copy it to wxaltindex.php.txt and post it).

You do seem to have both ajax-dashboard.php (the stock template version) and ajax-dashboard6.php (the alt dashboard) on your site.

[scudwatcher]

Yes Ken, when I move the stock template version away from my webserver root, I view the "new" ajax-dashboard6.php but with no content?
