Topic: Top Warning Missing

[roger kirk]

Hello, on my website http:sekywx.com, my top weather alert is missing. I just have a small yellow box instead of a weather alert message. My alerts work down the side of the page but no local warning or advisory at the top.

[saratogaWX]

The old atom-top-warning.php and atom-advisory.php scripts stopped operating as the NWS changed the data source and format on 31-Jan-2024.
The current nws-alerts script set needs to be used instead.  I see you are running nws-alerts.php via cron for 114 zones (that's a LOT of zones but only takes 17 seconds per http://sekywx.com/cache/nws-notes.txt )

Change index.php from

<?php // insert desired warning box at top of page
  if ($useTopWarning) {
     if (phpversion() < 5.0) {
       include_once("rss-top-warning.php");
     } else {
       include_once("atom-top-warning.php");
     }
  } else {
   print "      <div class=\"advisoryBox\">\n";
   $_REQUEST['inc'] = 'y';
   $_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y';
   if (phpversion() < 5.0) {
     include_once("rss-advisory.php");
   } else {
     include_once("atom-advisory.php");
   }
   print "      </div>\n";
  }
?>

to

<?php // insert desired warning box at top of page

  if(isset($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) and count($SITE['NWSalertsCodes']) > 0) {
   // Add nws-alerts alert box cache file
   include_once("nws-alerts-config.php");
   include($cacheFileDir.$aboxFileName);
   // Insert nws-alerts alert box
   echo $alertBox;
   ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="nws-alertmap.js"></script>
<?php
  }
?>

to use the nws-alerts summary box instead.  If you have too many counties displayed there, you may need to reconsider how many counties/zones you want to display.

Hello, I changed the setting you wanted me to, but that did not fix my issue. I still have a yellow blank warning box at the top of my page. Also, I cut back on my coverage area some. But being that we are located just 5 minutes from three different states it was a little tricky. Hope you can help. Thank you.

In your index.php, you still have the old code.  Look at wxindex.php to see how it looks with nws-alerts.php summarized.

Roger how did you fix this on your site? I am beating my brains up trying to figure this out.  -dan-   http://westsenecaweather.com/

Looking at http://westsenecaweather.com/check-fetch-times.php?show=versions shows you have many script updates to do (since 2015).
First thing is to do the updates, then modify your index.php page as I'd showed above.  The atom-top-warning and atom-advisory scripts are no longer functional due to NWS changes.. you must use the new nws-alerts script set to get/display the alerts.

Sorry for not getting back to you but I have been sick. I looked at your site  http://westsenecaweather.com/ and you have a very nice looking weather page. SaratogaWX is an awesome help for everyone. Keep up the good work on your site.
