Care to share the secret, Mike? I've been unable to get MyBlitzortung working in a Saratoga Narrow template ](https://www.wxforum.net/Smileys/default/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
. For now I've settled for a link to my standalone MyBlitzortung.
I should really apologize, I should have caught this and clarified... . No excuse, just old age:
What I should have said was "
Based upon my Saratoga Templates Narrow".
My confusion
arose because
1) I
was working on stripped down Saratogas for another page at about the same time, and
2) I had originally called, for e.g. the "ajaz gizmo", to insert, but couldn't reconcile positioning, etc because of some factors below... (and haven't got back to retry such insertions again).
I suppose all the fooling around merged together in the few grey cell I have left that still function, and thus we have a mis-titiled topic.
I simply didn't realize it until your post!
The styling, general layout is from the CSS and general layout of my Saratoga Narrow pages, but it's mish-mashed in and around the Blitzortung scripts.
And it's a bear to find where to change what! FireFox Web developer is a
must to find elements and then locate them in CSS or (and this was a real pain) inside a php include!
Here are a couple of 'gotchas' that may pertain, one was necessary on my server, and the other for something-or-other
I needed
date_default_timezone_set('America/Kentucky/Louisville'); in the index.php, before anything else (your PHP timezone)
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Kentucky/Louisville');

and I commented out
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />... . I forget exactly why, validation, or issues in some browsers, or both. That's what it took to fix whatever it was.
(The reason must have fallen out with that last batch of grey cells )
Another real bothersome thing was getting the images, graphs etc to 'center'. Part of that is similar to a line that follows in index.php
<style>
/*#myblitzortung ul#bo_menu{margin-left:-10px;}*/
</style>and in CSS trying to place the menu drove me crazy for a bit, if I remember right... But for some reason that "-10px" proved important somewhere, so I left it in... . Seems like there was another line or two in 'style' that I deleted ???
There's some similar stuff in the 'includes' that has to be located and changed, inline styling applied to the element and stuff, rather than in the CSS. Couple of 'em took me many minutes (ok, hours) to figure out. Like one graph or map or something that just wouldn't behave, 'till I finally found it's 'special' code and inline style... (I think it was in an added div tag, that I just couldn't figure out) seems like that was the 'animation' map that threw me so long trying to position.
I guess what I'm saying, I hunted and pecked my way through this, and now have it to a point I can't just upload and overwrite to update a file... I'll have to do line changes manually. Ah... so what!
Sorry for the confusion!
Cheers!
Mike
