Topic: Duplicate Top Warnings on Curlys scritp

[MesquiteWx]

I am not sure if this has been addressed before or not. I imagine it has but, haven't been able to find that post. Issue I am seeing with Curlys top warning script is if there are multiple warnings of the same warning in the same county, it will duplicate the county for each warning. Is there or has there been a fix for this. These are legit warnings as when you click on it and it takes you to the warning page it will list out all the Flood Warnings within the county. I would think it should only display the county once even if their are multiple warnings of that type as when you click on it, it will take you to the page to display all the warnings. Hope that makes sense. Attached is a screen shot of what I am explaining.

-Thanks

Looks like the settings should be ok, according to the settings it shouldn't be showing duplicates.

It could have been the NWS leaving expired alerts.
This was fixed in version 1.20

The cache file note most likely will not have any duplicate alert sources.  /cache/nws-notes.txt

[MesquiteWx]

Thanks Curly, they are not expired alerts, they are active and valid alerts. It just shows the county in the top box for each flood warning alert.

I have downloaded the recent version. I have highly modified mine so to keep from overwriting a lot of work. Which specific file has the fix for this so I can just update that file with the new one?

Here is what my notes.txt has.

[Curly]

Thanks for posting helpful information.
The key file is nws-alerts.php and there are some added switches to the file nws-alerts-config.php.

[MesquiteWx]

Thanks Curly, I have updated all the main files and uploaded the new ones as well and it is still duplicated the county name in the top advisory bar if their are multiple alerts in the same county. I.E. Flood Warning, River Flood Warning.

I thought it might have had something to do with my scrolling script you helped me with a couple years ago until I noticed it is even happening on the buttons too. The alerts are not duplicates, just multiple alerts of the same kind in the county which is causing the county to duplicate for the amount of the same alerts that exists. I am just noticing this since the flooding we have been having is rare. Any other ideas of suggestions? I did clear the cache after making the changes.

 

[Curly]

What cache file is being used for the top alerts?

[MesquiteWx]

The top advisory bar is using the cache from cache/nws-alertsMainData.php

The one for the screenshot I attached above is using cache/nws-alertsIconData.php
