Does my footer need to be updated?
« on: December 14, 2020, 02:21:05 PM »
I just updated by Weather Display from build version 120 to build version 121 (PC). The Saratoga footer is no longer recognizing the update (still shows build 120 after refreshing).

The latest build for WD (121) changed the executable (new name). I have no idea if this is significant.

Would there be something in the footer that I need to change in order for my Saratoga template to recognize the build change.

I never had this problem before (and I have always updated to the latest build).

Thanks!

I'm going to guess there is a bug in the WD code.  I noticed my site is doing the same.  It's probably not returning the right values.

Thanks so much for confirming this problem. I had a distinct suspicion that the problem was with WD. I will write him and mention it. Thanks again for the help.

Install using the *.exe file rather than the *.zip in order to get the correct version.  Notice the date difference between the two files. :shock:

I almost always install that way.  Not the ZIP.  The window for WD show's 121.

Brian fixed this problem yesterday.  Both the zip and the exe are now up-to-date.

I updated mine with both the EXE and ZIP file versions.  And today there is now a 122 version.  But my footer still isn't changing.  Where is that info obtained for the Saratoga templates?

I just dug into my clientraw.txt file.  It ends with !!C10.37S122!!.  I'm assuming that's the version number, which would be correct.  It's just not passing to my footer.

Your WD configuration needs updating.  It seems your testtags.php isn't being found:

The version info comes from testtags.php (not clientraw.txt).  Your testtags.php hasn't been updated since
Code: [Select]
$time =  '08:05 AM';    // current time
$date =  '11/4/2020';    // current date
Fix that issue (testtags.php updating every 5 minutes) and the version displayed will be correct.

I can't seem to find that setting.  When I go into the Web Files section, it shows my testtags.txt setting.  If I click on the test, it will upload that file and be up to date for 5 minutes.  I'm not seeing the check box/setting to force that file to upload every 5.

I'm guessing an update somewhere along the line just turned that file off from being uploaded.

OK, weird.  I went through all the settings from the setup page.  https://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/setup-WD.php

I noticed I didn't have the checkbox "Use Calm for wind..." checked.  I kinda liked that idea.  Just by checking that box, I am seeing my testtags.php file being created every minute.  It wasn't updating before.

It hasn't uploaded quite yet.  Not sure when the 5 minute exactly clicks in...

Brian, responded to my email.  I think he figured it out, in case anyone else has the issue.

Control Panel, in the customize internet and file creation override, tab 2, file #29.

My file creation and file upload sections were wiped out.  Not sure when that happened.
