Hi,
    i am new to this and i am using the vws wsbsite builder which asks "would you like to make C:\vws\root\international.htm
your homepage (recommemded for new websites)
i click yes it sets it up and opens in mozilla firefox or IE 7 and if i click no it opens in the two browsers anyway
i have not started to setup a real website yet until i can get a grip of what i an doing here
      any suggestions of website templates or programs    keith

By going through the websitebuilder in VWS, you are setting up a website... it's what it is for. So if you have a webaccount you shold be ready too upload those sites that the websitebuilder have done. If i have understanded you right

see i told you i was thick,
                                 so how do i set up a web account and what is the best one to go for
                                                Keith

[TorH]

You got to register a domain name and get a account for a webhost or use a free webhost service. Then you will get the account info. and set it up under internet in VWS(FTP info etc.)

Which webhost you shall choose is up to you and your needs.

hello guys,
             i am back i now have a start of a website at http://www.weathertogarden.co.uk/ and have uploaded files to this website which takes the html and htmx. if you could help the three things that still baffles me is the following
1) images keep going all though i have change the lines  in htmx
2) how do i redirect the vws to go to this website and i belive that i have correctly filled all internet boxes
3) how do i get the station to upgrade the weather site every hour

              please could you help and explain to me in short sentances so that i can follow the idea as i am slowly getting there
                                                   thank you for your patiences and invaluable help
                                                                                         all the best Keith

1) Your wu graphics links in the HTX file are still wrong.  They say http://icons-pe.wxug.com/i/c/a/ and they should say http://icons-pe.wxug.com/graphics/conds/
If you can to a search and replace on this text string    icons-pe.wxug.com/i/c/a/    and replace with    icons-pe.wxug.com/graphics/conds/     it should start working.  Or easier I can give you an unaltered working version of "international.htx"

2) Your international.htx is creating and vws is uploading a file called index.htm   which should work fine, unless your host is forcing all visitors to land on that cloud page first.  You can try ftp'ing into your site and see if there is another index.html or index.php which is stealing the visitors, just delete or renam those files if you find them, so your index.htm created by vws is what visitors see first.

3)The update frequency is right on the Intenet - HTML settings page... the ftp upload is on a page just off that, botton right, dont have vws infront of me. "upload" maybe?   There is also another screen somewhere to adjust jpg's upload timing, but that is probably set at 30 minutes which should be enough, as those JPG's are a lot of work for vws to upload.

Hi Andrew,
              The cloud page is what i have done to link that page to the weather page so what you are saying is that this is stopping the weather maps showing the graphics and updating. I have done that but still no joy
                                        Keith

[mackbig]

No. I am on mobile now, so will be short. You don't typically need a landing page like you have. If the vws index.htm was the only "index" file in that root, people visitng your site would see it without having to click.

hi guys,
         i believe the graphics are sorted out now as you will see if you log on to http://weathertogarden.co.uk but still having problems with updateing the information at intervals at every hour on the hour i think i have the setup right in vws site under internet where they are all 1 hours and leading to the my server.
                    any ideas all the best keith

[mackbig]

Keith,
Looks good.

One thing you should turn on, if its not already on are the "internet logs". 

Chances are that your pages are in fact updating every hour, but your vws ftp might be failing. If you are only uploding every hour, a failure of one upload will put you 2 hours stale with your site.

My suggestion (after you enable the logs), is to change your update page frequency to 20 or 30 minutes, and change your ftp internet uploads to 30 minutes.  Then if your ftp fails, then your page is only 30 to 60 minutes stale.

Make sense?

Andrew

current site when I took a look:
index.htm daily.htm and details.htm all appear to have been updated and uploaded at 4:21pm today
broadcast.jpg was updated at 4pm, which is correct I would think.

wx.htm has a time stamp of 2pm yesterday.

                                                                                         Keith

[mackbig]

Keith,
I'm glad you are up and running the way you wanted, and that I could help. That's why the forum's here.
Good luck with your future enhancements...

Andrew

hello fellow weather people,
                                     i have just done a banner for my site http://weathertogarden.co.uk and took out the ball and ambient logos but it will not display can you check my site please and see if i have done something wrong and/or missing something out of the code please
                                     thanks guys and may the infinite ideas shower you with pleasure Keith

[Axelvold]

I think you need to write the http:// as well.

Current:

Code: [Select]

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="weathertogarden.co.uk/my banner.swf"> <EMBED Name="slideshow" src="weathertogarden.co.uk/my banner.swf"
I think it should be something like this:

Code: [Select]

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://weathertogarden.co.uk/my%20banner.swf"> <EMBED Name="slideshow" src="http://weathertogarden.co.uk/my%20banner.swf">

[kapper12]
