Hi Scott!
I don't remember if i've already asked this question.... 
Do you know why the Last YTD Rain tag shows 0 instead of correct amount?
And how to set this tag with the correct amount in WD?
Thanks in advance,

Alessandro

Have you checked to see if you have the tag that is called there in your testtags.txt.  If it is there, then it's one of the uploaded files from WD that you have turned off.  I'm not sure which ones do what so if thats the case you may need to ask Brian or do a search on the WD forum.

Second question is which part of the CSS files do I need to change the colour of the background outside of the frames on the webpage

Phil

I think you have answers for the rest of your questions, this one is done in the files called weather-screen-green-narrow.css and since you have the color selection turned on, you will need to modify each .css file that has "narrow" in the file name.  (one for each possible color).


In there you will find the settings for background as well as all the other sections of the script.  If you need more help finding the right place, drop a note, either I will or someone else will gladly point you to the right spot to edit!

Me gain LOL

Got most of the dashboard working properly (www.carrowhawny.com) with one exception - I have added the cloud-base.php to the webpage but for some reason it is showing night  instead of day - can someone point me int he the right direction to rectify this.  I have checked the new dashboard, dashboard settings, ajaxWD.js and the cloud-base.php and am still none the wiser. _ i am fairly sure its a time zone setting but where I don't know.

Phil,

Since that is actually an add-in module to the dashboard and written by someone else, you may want to start a new thread and ask specifically about that.  You may have better luck.  Mine doesn't work 100% correct either so I can't be of much help myself!

I was having a look on the board and found this

$ourTZ = "America/Phoenix";
# Set timezone in PHP5/PHP4 manner
  if (!function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
   putenv("TZ=" . $ourTZ);
    } else {
   date_default_timezone_set("$ourTZ");
   }

that Ken had posted in this thread http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=10730.0 

I added this into your alt-dashboard and it now works as it was intended - I changed the"America/Phoenix" to "Europe/Dublin"

Thank you once again!

I have an error on my dashboard with regards the 24Hr difference in Temperature. Basically the difference is incorrect. Is there anything i can check or fix in order to get it working properly??? Thanks in advance.

You may want to post your code for that section, its not standard code so hard to know what was changed.

Steve,

Without being able to go to your site and take a look, I would have to guess that you have your date format set wrong in the script.  Look at the top of the script and find where it sets the date format.

Good morning folks

I have just about got the ALT-Dashboard working properly http://www.carrowhawny.com/ (thank you for all your help) but I have a few minor date issues that whilst are minor issues I would still like to fix.  On the Dew Point record it is ready the date as M-d-Y instead of d-M-Y.
Liquid Precipitation  shows the date as 9/3/2012 instead of 9-Mar-2012
Lightning Strike read 2012/03/07 whereas it should be 07/03/2012
The final one is the Station All Time Records - the high reads 3-Sep-2012 but it should be 9-Mar-2012

Before I start messing around in the Dashboard and breaking things is there an easy way to rectify the date formating?

Many thanks

Phil

Phil,

The format of those values are coming directly from WD.  Look for the WD date format at the top of the script.  You can change it there.

Thanks Scott

Will set to it shortly!

Quick question. The "New record low" icon is displayed on my page, but the "New Record High" should be displayed too cause my station hit a new record today. Any idea why there both not showing? Both graphics are loaded into the same directory.  Screen Shot attached. Thanks.

[Weather Display]

I would presume it is only set to show one record condition at a time, i.e the first one found or similar

[ALITTLEweird1]

I have my parents site using version 5.03 of the dashboard, and theres is showing both. Im running version 6.21 on my site.

[BurnsvilleWeather]

At this time, the High/Low only works with the Weather Underground records, not the station records.  This change will be in the soon to be released 6.61 release.

Here is a sample screen with the new records all showing (not likely to happen all 4 at once but)  It is now in the new version 6.61 soon to be released.
