No worries, John -- I appreciate the feedback. I know that my testing on my local and hosted systems can never be as complete as implementations on the variety of hosts (and website customizations), so highlighting issues found is very valuable -- thanks.
I did have a 'head start' on doing the V4.00 coding beginning in early May when the 'preview' site was available -- Over the intervening time, I took samples from the NWS preview and tweaked the coding repeatedly to produce a script set and icon set. The DualImage.php was the hardest one to do as there was no published source for it, so I had to invent that by seeing how the arguments were handled in the sample pages, and making the code replicate the results .. that was a hoot.
I deliberately waited until the 6th of July to do final testing (to see if the preview was changing), and the packaging for release. I just hoped that the 'preview' would match what the 'production' version would be, in which case, we'd be ready. The advforecast2.php V4.00 was designed to be both old/new compatible and would recognize when the new-format was available.
I'll add a bit of reprocessing to the icon HTML to the script to see if we can get rid of the messy-non-flow of image and text.
Ken,
Do we/I have to download any new icons sets for this stuff to work?
Jim
No, but there is a new set available from the template install or scripts page. saratoga-icons2.zip has all the images in the new format at 55x55px (the new 'square' standard used by the NWS instead of the older 55x58px ones).
If you happen to dig through the code in both advforecast2.php and DualImage.php, you'll see I also put in support for 86x86px PNG images (and have a full set of those to be made available). With all the initial implementation stuff going on, I just didn't have time to document and release how to use larger/higher fidelity images which could be useful on wide-format websites (not recommended for the 800px narrow format).
Best regards,
Ken
