Topic: Buoy data image & overlay size

[WXCatt]

Hi All

Me again!

Trying to get the Buoy data page added to my site. seem to have an issue in getting it to display correctly (image too large). I notice that there is a smaller United_kingdom image that I stumbled accross, this makes it the correct size but throws the overlay of the buoy information out. I am using the 706 x 470 pixels size. I have used the "contributed" files in order to get me up and running this far !

Here is the site

Here is mybuoycustom file

I have tried various settings in the mybuoy custom text file but in all honesty not sure what I am doing 

Help as always very much appreciated

Steve,

Sent you the files I use on my site, hope they help,

Thanks for mail but I think the settings that I need to change are in the "my custom buoy .txt " file.

This is where you set the overlay to map image ( I think)

If you take a look at my Buoy page you will see that the image is far too big for where I am trying to locate it.
I want to reduce image size but think this affects overlay of buoy information

Hi Steve,

I did what you want to do, reduced the image then in the 'my buoy -UK.txt' file which I sent to you, made to required adjustments to make it fit.

It did take a while to get it how you like it, but that's part of the fun lol

I don't seem to have your mybuoy custom text file in the e mail. Did you attach it or has it gone AWOL

Cheers

Hi Steve,

I've attached the one I use here, the way to adjust the labels so they align is:

In the example below the first number 440 - reducing this number moves the label to the LEFT, increasing the number moves it to the RIGHT on the map.

The last number 333 - reducing this number moves the label UP, increasing this number moves it DOWN on the map.

Steve,

Just had a look at your site and looks like you've sorted it

Thanks Ian

For some reason the my custom text did not get forwarded to my other e. Ail account but the other files did!

I have managed to get it working but see there are a lot of buoys in the list with no data to report. I take it it's just a case of deleting them from the custom text file ?

Thanks for your help, it's appreciated

Check out the site, you'll see what I mean

Cheers
