Title: get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php
Post by: Axelvold on July 18, 2012, 01:23:48 PM

I use this on my frontpage to display weather warnings, but suddenly today it stopped working and I cant figure out why.

Any suggestions?

script is attached.

I did find this change in the cache file.

They changed from this

Code: [Select]

<div class="warnbox wb1">
to this

Code: [Select]

<div class="warnbox awt nt l l2">
Could it be this that caused this script to stop working?

Yep, that and a few other changes in the meteoalarm.eu website.

I've updated the script to V2.08 - 18-Jul-2012 to address the issues.

V3 template users can use the update tool (http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/updates.php) (18-Jul-2012, Base-World) to get the script.

V2 template users/standalone can download from the script page (http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-EUwarning.php#EUwarning)

Best regards,
Ken

Ah.. tis true.  The script defaults to converting the meteoalarm.eu output from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 for use in the template sets.

If you're running your non-template site in UTF-8, then changing

Code: [Select]

$charsetOutput = 'ISO-8859-1';        // default character encoding of output
to

Code: [Select]

$charsetOutput = 'UTF-8';        // default character encoding of output
will leave the output in UTF-8 for you.

Best regards,
Ken

Good morning guys,

I continue to have problems with the letters accented in Italian on this script. (è à òù) why?

You are running the correct version of the script, and have the output set for UTF-8.

The problem comes from the source of the data at https://www.meteoalarm.eu/it_IT/0/0/IT018-Sicilia.html

They are reporting

on their page.  It's likely that someone at the meteoalarm or the Italian weather bureau used ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 for posting that message.  The script cannot back-convert to remove their error.  Sorry...

Ok thanks so much so it's not a mistake that depends on the script, but on the meteoalarm site itself.

While I do not understand how to update the alerts for now in my region in Sicily I see an orange alert but the script does not report the image with the warning why?

It may have just been a cache issue -- I see on your page
