is that the one for WU/WxSim comparisons?  shown here: https://www.wxsim.com/scripts.htm

Also Tony @ https://beaumaris-weather.com/wxsimforecast_dark.php  has a few scripts too.

Hi Thanks.
No, it's one that is in a table format. I'll keep looking.

Hi Chuck

Yup! That's the one. If you could compress/zip it that would be awesome!

Thanks

Hi
Wondering if anyone can help.

I've setup fc-comparison script as per the instructions and help from Ken and Chuck.
  • Changed files to use Aerisweather forecast
  • Added the $maxtempyest = '%maxtempyest%';
    $mintempovernight = '%mintempovernight%';      // Most likely you'll have to add this to testtags.txt.
  • I've setup the scripts to be run in System Scheduler.

Still no good.
My test page https://vinesweather.com/wxnewpage.php

Many thanks to Chuck and Ken for helping me out so far. I still can't get it to work.

Many thanks Chuck! That's very helpful.

I think I'm very slowly getting there. Changed everything I hope to Aerisweather Forecast. Though it certainly does not seem to be doing what it should and the footer is missing.
The challenge continues!

I have attached my compare file. I changed the name so I can compare it to yours.

Hi Chuck
I'm still having issues getting this up and running. If I send you my config file would you mind having a look?
Cheers

Hi Chuck
Many thanks for the updated script-fc-config.php. However, still no luck, though I have progressed a little. In the readme it says,
Quote
Paste the following in your web browser and see if you get any errors, http://yoursite/forecast-compare-include.php?log&config=am.  If you get a blank screen, that's good news.  If not, the message should reveal the problem.
I have done this and get the following error, obviously changing it to my site:https://vinesweather.com/forecast-compare-include.php?log&config=am
Quote
Note: the AW-forecast.php script requires an API keys from aerisweather.com to operate.
Visit api.aerisapi.com to register for an API key.
If you are uploading data to pwsweather.com, you can get free API keys from here to use.
Unable to obtain the temperature variables from /home/mcdconcepts/vw/AW-forecast.php, check the installation of that script.

I'm sure the answer is straightforward. I shall continue to work on it tonight.
Many thanks
Chris

I show an error of you need the API Key for Aeris Weather. Do you have it in your settings? Plus do you have the .log files on your web server such as forecastAM.log, forecastEV.log etc...

Hi Chuck
Yes, I get the same,

I do have the AW keys listed in settings.php. My other pages access it no problem,

https://vinesweather.com/wxcompareforecast.php

I have tried putting them in fc-settings.php where it is for stand-alone but that just looks similar to above URL.

I do have all 4 log uploaded with 777 permissions.

It's looking like an issue with AW-forecast.php.

Many thanks Chuck.
