Displaying WD Client Raw data in RSS feed
« on: July 29, 2007, 02:44:48 AM »
G'day All,

I've written a useful script that i'd like to share with others. It uses the clientraw.txt file output from WeatherDisplay and converts it into an RSS feed.

Included with the script are three seperate RSS feeds, the code modularity allows for custom RSS feeds to be created easily.
Examples of the feeds available are viewable at http://hamlynheightsweather.com/WeatherFeeds.php

The source can be downloaded From http://hamlynheightsweather.com/software.php.

Out of the box, this script should work on your webserver, it assumes a default configuration of your setup, eg the location of your client raw file in the root directory of your webserver, and also assumes other information from the clientraw file. However, this can be customied by editing the RSSConfig.php configuration file.

Thoughts comments and feedback would be appreciated so that this tool can be further developed to become very useful. While WD is probably not the most popular software here, if others can give me a sample of files uploaded for their software and the file structure, i'm more than happy to write alternative versions. Who know's you may even convert me from WD!.

Cheers,
Dave.
