Topic: Alternative-Dashboard Version 6.21

Ok cool. I was going to make a new graphic for the station record. I was googling with my small amount
of coding knowledge what the function is. So I'm looking for "or" function?

I've got this part working

Code: [Select]

<?php   if (strip_units($maxtemp) > strip_units($maxtemp4today)){
                 echo "<img src=\"${imagesDir}NewRec_HIGH.jpg\" alt=\"Record High\"/>"; }
                         ?>
        <?php   if (strip_units($mintemp) < strip_units($mintemp4today)){
                               echo "<img src=\"${imagesDir}NewRec_LOW.jpg\" alt=\"Record Low\"/>";  }
                         ?>
I need this I guess:

if $mintemp4today is < $mintemp, replace $mintemp4today with $mintemp or the same for max temp.

If you are writing two pieces of code, you don't need to use "or" since you will have two different graphics, you will just have two sections of code, one with the Weather Underground Records and one with your new Station records.

The graphics part worked fine Scott. Yesterday my low was -4 which was better than my station record of
+11 and the graphic did show like I wanted to. What I'd like to do is if I've set a new station record, replace
my station record with the new low when it occurs. That make sense?

Ahhh, ok now I understand.  I think the reason for it not doing that was so that people could see what the previous low was but if you wanted to change it, I think you could probably do something like:

Code: [Select]

<?php if (strip_units($maxtemp) > strip_units($maxtemp4today)) { ?>
in place of the current

Code: [Select]

<?php if ($useSTAhilo) { ?>
and then just change the code to display the new Max temp of the day then do the same with the mintemp.  You would of course still need to have another section for temps that were not records with the old code in as before
  Does that make sense?

Thanks Scott. It will give me something to fiddle with tonight.

SRY, sometimes I have a hard time explaining what I'm trying to accomplish.
I think the only ones who understand me are my dogs. 

[CNYWeather]

With my ability I've decided to leave well enough alone. Plus, if the record
breaks a WU temp record, it doesnt change that in the dashboard anyway.

I created a couple new graphics and the new station low is showing now.

Thanks Scott.

Well I have screwed up somewhere which is no surprise...LOL!!!  I had my new site ready and was attempting to put it live and broke the script somewhere.

Now I can't even recreate the test site; my dashboard script is broken and will not show and I can not find the cause. If someone would please take a look and see if they can pinpoint the error that is breaking the test script maybe I can get it recreated correctly to get it going live.

Tom,

You renamed indextest.php as .com!  Rename it back to .php and it will work I bet!

Sorry Scott, that was a typo. just deleted all my files on my server and reinstalled. The correct test site is:

www.carolinastormwatch.com/indextest.php

I renamed ajaxWDwx1.js to ajaxWDwx.js and top1 to top and things went south. Like I said I just deleted all ajax files and I am still getting nothing. I had files named and renamed in my file so I could recreate if I went wrong with something but now I have screwed up somewhere!

Thanks Tom

Ok, I see now.  I've only seen two errors cause it to error out there, one was the language translation files needed to be uncommented out at the bottom of the ajax-dashboard6.php file and the the second was the ajaxWDwx.js file was either missing or the conf file was was.  Try a brand new ajaxWDwx.js and the config and see if that fixes it if the uncommenting thing don't do it.

Many thanks Scott, don't know how the language lines got changed but I will give it a shot. I thank you for your help.

Scott,

Just verified that the last 2 language lines were uncommented (they were) and put a new ajaxWDwx file on my server and still nothing.

Hi Scott,

I think in renaming some of the files that possibly a couple of files were corrupted somehow. I had to just leave the computer last night and come back this Afternoon to look at things again. Thanks to SteveFitz1 (http://www.tylertexasweather.com/index.htm) who has been so helpful over the years for helping me out. Also, many thanks to you, Michael at Relay WX, Tony at CNY Weather and everyone else for helping out so much! The site is now live at:

Still have many updates to go but my main dashboard is now basically finished. I have looked over all the posts trying to find a fix for the sun info being misaligned but have found only issues with the times which was addressed. I have noticed a few other sites that have wide screens or have increased the size of their CSS narrow sites are having the same issue. Is there any fix that has been addressed for this that anyone knows about.

Many thanks once again to everyone for their assistance and great scripts that keep rolling out that people share with us all!

Tom,

Add a <br/> after the sun image link in the code (you may want to add 2 if needed) and that will fix it.  I am adding that in the 6.08 release too.

UPDATE:

I have updated the script to version 6.08.  This is a fairly minor update but does fix PHP validation erros due to the split() being depreciated.  I now set the snow/rain icon based on the wetbulb temp rather then just the set value of the $freezing var.  Fixed/changed the way several dates were displayed to hopefully make them all display the same now and they should display better in all date formats.  Fix an issue some had when they made the right column wider then expected, the sun section was not formatting right then. It should be fixed now.  Several other minor changes.

If you have 6.07 running you just need to put in the new ajax-dashboard6.php to upgrade.

Be sure to check out the new MOBILE DASHBOARD for your smartphone.  This works with version 6.xx of the alt dashboard program and is pretty much plug in three files and add your site's name at the top of the scrip and you're done!  Its the easiest mobile dashboard out there!   

Download link is on the first message of this thread!  Thanks

Posted 6.08. Lookin' good.

Thanks for all your work (as always!).

John,
When I scanned your barcode , I got linked to your mobile site with this error:
Fatal error: call to undefined function langtransstr() in/var/.......,mobile.php on line 283 .

Scott, using 6.08. Thanks for all the work.

Someone needs to uncomment out the lines at the bottom of the mobile dashboard script again!

Thanks for the info (I don't have a smartphone!).

Looking into it now.

Scott

Sorry - they are uncommented. If they weren't, my main page would be failing with the same error, and it's working fine.

Come up with something else -     Need help on this one...

The same lines are in the mobile version of the script, you have to uncomment them in that part of the script too if you did in the main dashboard script.  I should add that to the instructions, I didn't think to do that.
