Title: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: tmabell on October 31, 2017, 10:07:10 AM
Within the past few weeks Curly's WxStory script is not working for at least one local office.  For site KIWX Northern Indiana the text is being retreived but the image is not. It still seems to work for the other sites I checked. 

http://ww2.mymishawakaweather.com/wxstory_inc.php (http://ww2.mymishawakaweather.com/wxstory_inc.php)

The cache file:

Code: [Select]
<?php

'Tab2FileL.png?150944' => 
  array (

Debugging indicates that the image file is not found (404) yet manually entering the link into a browser displays the image just fine.  I am out of ideas!

I don't think any of the Eastern Region WFO's use the Weather Story.  I might be wrong.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: 92merc on October 31, 2017, 01:11:49 PM
Is the script supposed to pull the graphics as well?

http://www.bismarckweather.net/wxstory.php

If I go to the first link, I don't see any graphics. But then change the office to Bismarck North Dakota, I can see the graphics.

On my own site, I don't see the graphics no matter what.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: 92merc on October 31, 2017, 01:17:51 PM
I looked at the code and realized I needed a wscache folder.  Once I put that there, the images came.

But what is supposed to be in the wsimages folder?  Anything?
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: tmabell on October 31, 2017, 01:19:05 PM
I am able to see the graphics on your site for the default KBIS office, all three (currently) images are there.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script

I'm not sure but I think those images are used if you enable the map option in the settings of the script.

If Curly has given his permission to release the WxStory script into the wild, I have his May 20, 2017 final release (https://www.gwwilkins.org/wxstory.php) running on my site.  It works!

The zip is attached.  There is an option to use a 'dropdown' list rather than the map, which is fairly current although some sites shown as red or orange may now have the Weather Story.

He has and thank you Jerry!!

EDIT:

I'm using V2.25 which works with PHP 7.1 but exibits the KIWX bug.  Sadly, V2.23 doesn't work on my site because of unnessary changes made to PHP 7.1 (which is what I'm using)

If you have time to take a look well, your help wolde be greatly appreciated.. as always!

Not fond here of these perpetual updates which keep breaking scripts!  PHP 7.0 works just fine here (http://selincolnwx.info/wxstory.php).  My original link is running PHP 5.4!  What doesn't work for me under PHP 7.0 is 'whos-online (http://selincolnwx.info/whos-online-maps.php)'.  If Ken True can't figure that one out, I'm sure it's beyond me.

I'm not sure what version of php I'm using.  How do I tell?

I just created a page on my Saratoga website and it's working fine: http://www.m82a1.us/wxStory.php (http://www.m82a1.us/wxStory.php) - unfortunately no nearby weather stories for me.

I wonder why the eastern NWS stations don't have a weather story.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: tmabell on October 31, 2017, 07:59:18 PM
The issue is with php 7.1 and up.  I agree which is why I mentioned "unnecessary changes" to PHP 7.  When your version is run on my site with PHP7.1 a fatal error is encounterd:

I just checked on GoDaddy (my host) and I'm running 7.0.  There's some changes enforcing some php scripting that needs to be looked at for 7.1.  Above my paygrade unfortunately.

Noticed this as well earlier today but haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.

Post by: tmabell on December 14, 2017, 09:16:44 AM
This problem first showed up a few months ago on one or two sites.  Now the whole thing went belly up altogether.  The thing I find odd is that the links used by the script are still good.  Those images can be retrieved using a web browser or even an image caching script.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: 92merc on December 14, 2017, 09:26:27 AM
Oh good.  I thought it was just me.  Mine went down about 2 days ago as well.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: rrrick8 on December 14, 2017, 03:44:22 PM
Ok, finally had a few minutes to look at this and it is a simple fix it seems.
In the wxStory-inc.php  script... scroll down not too far and you'll see a group of "preg_replace" like so...
Code: [Select]
$html = preg_replace('/°/', '&deg;', $html);                                         //  change it to an entity
  $html = preg_replace('/‘/', '\'', $html);                                            //  change stray character
  $html = preg_replace('/<u>/', '', $html);                                            //  fix error
  $html = preg_replace('/<\/u>/', '', $html);                                          //  fix error
  $html = preg_replace('/<br>/', '<br />', $html);                                     //  fix error
 

Add these to that group...
Code: [Select]
$html = preg_replace("/\.png\?(.+?)/" , ".png " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of png
$html = preg_replace("/\.jpg\?(.+?)/" , ".jpg " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of jpg

and it should fix it. At least it did for me.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: 92merc on December 14, 2017, 04:09:38 PM

Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: tmabell on December 14, 2017, 04:35:07 PM
Nice work!  That seems to have restored it for most people but if you select North Webster (Indiana) then you get nothing.  The images are there so I don't know what's up with that.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: gwwilk on December 14, 2017, 06:47:03 PM
Nicely done!  Even 'Northern Indiana' is showing up for me right now.  It looks as though some WFO's have resorted to the '?timestamp' appended to the end of some graphics in order to thwart browser caching.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: rrrick8 on December 14, 2017, 07:02:35 PM
I also just noticed that some sites use .jpg for their images.
So add this line in the same place as well....
Code: [Select]
$html = preg_replace("/\.jpg\?(.+?)/" , ".jpg " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of jpg
I've also added that to the code in my earlier post.

Thank you. Mine is working great again!

I hope what I found helps someone eventually.  I will say that I am not skilled enough in php to be able to explain why most every site worked but a few, even after the fixes by RRRICK8 but they didn't.  ("Northern Indiana" is the one I was focused on.)  I was able to prove that the image was being retrieved but that the script wasn't processing it.  I learned that by replacing


Code: [Select]
$imgName   = '';

with this

Code: [Select]
$imgName   = array();

that the KIWX image suddenly began displaying correctly.  Why other sites worked before I don't know but I'd like to learn about it.  The wild card here is that I am using PHP 7.2.  There are a number of changes that affect our scripts in that version.

Mine now working fine, images and all. Unfortunately Phoenix isn't posting the story right now but have a call in to the PSR manager to see if he'll get it going again.

Thanks to all.

On my site I've also updated the WS_map.png   to reflect some of the WFO's that were indicated as seldom used are now using the Weather Story daily or almost daily.  I've changed those that have it 3 days in a row at least that I've checked.
If you want to replace it, just download it here and then upload it to your directory where you have it in your script.

Looks like it's all working except the first radar tab.
That gif image adds another dimension to it.

Along with the .png and .jpg replace we need to add .gif to the mix.
So add gif to the solution....
Code: [Select]
$html = preg_replace("/\.png(.+?)/" , ".png " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of png
 $html = preg_replace("/\.jpg\?(.+?)/" , ".jpg " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of jpg
 $html = preg_replace("/\.gif\?(.+?)/" , ".gif " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of gif

As a side... I've notice the last few days (that I've been monitoring) that even the few remaining orange "Seldom Used" have been working except Boise. As of time of this posting, both Arizona sites, Medford OR., and Washington is working and has been for the most part the last few days. Portland (which is labeled red- not used) is even using theirs today. So I might be updating this map again in a few days.

Hi All,

Looks like this scrip will not work for me or folks in Alaska.  Hawaii and Alaska are not included in the mix.

Looks good for the CONUS (Lower 48) though.

Maybe one day we will be included.

Yeah, I don't see a Weather Story on any of the WFO's for those areas.

Change it back to false to see if your errors go away.
I suspect that you didn't upload the WFOmaps folder or it's in a different location.

Here is the original zip I have. Don't know for sure if this is the one that Curly released because I was doing some beta testing for him on a few scripts and I believe this was one of them.
If you do a complete new reload, make sure to add the preg_replace changes posted earlier...

You can hide the errors by commenting out the error reporting function at the top of the script.
When I looked earlier on your site, your current weather story was showing but the map wasn't. You need to get that part working first if you want to use the map. You need to set the settings correctly to point to where you added the WFOmaps

Ok, I see you have the image back now need to get the map working.
Your view source shows that you are calling for it in here... ./cache/WS_mapind.png

Did you upload the WFOmaps into that cache folder or into a different folder? They are the ones that are in the wsimages folder

So you need to change the settings to reflect where you uploaded them to.... $wfomaps        = './wsimages/';       // folder containing individual WFO coverage maps

You also need to upload the WS_map that was in the zip to your images folder.

Mike,

I've seen this error before and it was caused by an image being uploaded in ASCII mode instead of Binary mode. Make sure first you can view the image correctly on your machine after you've downloaded it from the forum. If that works, ensure you're FTPing correctly to your host.

Looking at the lsx  issue.... there is a ? in their time stamp/number after the image.  Removing that fixed it for me.
So, we add the following to the preg_replace grouping and watch to see if it adversely effects the script in other ways.

Code: [Select]
$html = preg_replace("/\?/" , " " , $html);               // cut out ?

However, nothing is shown for the first one - SHV Radar. All the other ones work. However, when I go to the actual NWS page at http://www.weather.gov/shv/, there is radar showing on that first tab.

Any ideas?

I'd say you probably missed the post earlier about adding gif to the preg -replace list. That radar runs a gif image.
Here is the complete list to include getting rid of the ? that was hanging up some images.

  $html = preg_replace('/‘/', '\'', $html);                                            //  change stray character
  $html = preg_replace('/<u>/', '', $html);                                            //  fix error
  $html = preg_replace('/<\/u>/', '', $html);                                          //  fix error
  $html = preg_replace('/<br>/', '<br />', $html);                                     //  fix error
  $html = preg_replace("/\.png\?(.+?)/" , ".png " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of png
  $html = preg_replace("/\.png(.+?)/" , ".png " , $html);               // cut off random numbering of png

I went ahead and updated the WS_map.png showing everything in the west as green with the exception of Boise.
Both Phoenix and Tucson haven't had theirs active the last couple of days but they were for numerous days prior to this. So they may still be spotty but with John saying they are going to be having it, I went ahead and updated those as well to green status.
Hopefully we have all the images extension problems ironed out.

Yeah, I think they activated it just to show off the temps while the rest of the country is freezing.  :evil:
Seriously though, since I changed the map, they haven't had it active but a couple of times. Hopefully the frequency increases.
I've notice a few of the western sites haven't been posting during the holidays here as much as they did before. I'll just blame it on skeleton crew manning until after the New Year.

Have been reading this thread and decided to give wxstory a try. So, far, I have been able to get it to run decently however, I am having issues with both width and vertical sizing. I am using a standard Saratoga template. Some selections show a very wide and long area while others work as I think they should. I have looked at a couple other websites using the same code and they don't exhibit the same behavior I am seeing.

I've placed the link to my wxstory.php in my NWS Forecast & Advisories menu. The wxstory.php link is at the bottom of the forecast flyout menu item. Reno is my default and its width seems to be okay.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script

Unable to see any problems now as it shows, "Today's Weather Story has not been posted for Reno". Reno shows the same from my site. Would help if you could list some of the other cities you indicate are causing problems for you.

Don, I ran just your wxStory_inc.php without the template and everything was normal on 15 sites I tested.
Your problem is use withing the template, which I don't use so can't help you with that.
Again, though... it appears your WxStory is running fine.

Like I said above... if you run just the script wxStory_inc.php  it all looks good.
So I believe the script is fine it's just something askew with your placement in the template which I don't use so I can't help you on that one.

John, rrrick8,

I have attached two screen captures showing what I am seeing for both Reno and Grand Junction, CO. I see many other sites with similar results. For some reason, some of the sites display in a very wide format.
Your http://www.carsonvalleyweather.com/wxStory_inc.php is fine. All html is clear and correct for all cities, without or with text..
But your wxstory.php has an extra line of code
Code: [Select]
<!-- end of menubar -->

<div id="main-copy">
<pre>
  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 700px; margin: 20px auto 0px auto;">
 <tr>
  <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.weather.gov/rev/" onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;" title="Click to view this forecast office" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"><span style="font-size:20px; letter-spacing:2px;"><b><span style="color:#0061AC;">WEATHER STORY</span><br />Reno<br /><span style="font-size:60%; vertical-align: text-top;">Weather Forecast Office</span></b></span></a></td>
 </tr>
</table>

You should find that '<pre>' and remove it. That will take care of the very wide page, which only occurs when there is text below the map. That text will be as wide as the longest line, because of that '<pre>'. You can see that all bottom text is displayed in a monospaced courier font and without line-breaks. 
 
We can not check your php script online, so if you can not find that <pre> , post the script here with the .txt extension.

John, rrrick8,

I have attached two screen captures showing what I am seeing for both Reno and Grand Junction, CO. I see many other sites with similar results. For some reason, some of the sites display in a very wide format.
Your http://www.carsonvalleyweather.com/wxStory_inc.php (http://www.carsonvalleyweather.com/wxStory_inc.php) is fine. All html is clear and correct for all cities, without or with text..
But your wxstory.php has an extra line of code
Code: [Select]
<!-- end of menubar -->

<div id="main-copy">
   <pre>
     <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width: 700px; margin: 20px auto 0px auto;">
 <tr>
  <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.weather.gov/rev/" onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;" title="Click to view this forecast office" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"><span style="font-size:20px; letter-spacing:2px;"><b><span style="color:#0061AC;">WEATHER STORY</span><br />Reno<br /><span style="font-size:60%; vertical-align: text-top;">Weather Forecast Office</span></b></span></a></td>
 </tr>
</table>

You should find that '<pre>' and remove it. That will take care of the very wide page, which only occurs when there is text below the map. That text will be as wide as the longest line, because of that '<pre>'. You can see that all bottom text is displayed in a monospaced courier font and without line-breaks.

Wim, you are a genius! =D&gt;  That was the problem. Since I was incorporating this code into my Saratoga template, I had simply taken the code and included the <pre>...</pre> in my wxstory.php and that is what was causing the issue with screen width.

Thank you very much for the assistance. I have included the code section from my wxstory.php that I am now using to include the wxStory_inc.php, for Saratoga template users.

Code: [Select]
<body>
<?php

I think this script is another casualty of the changes made yesterday by the NWS.  There are no images showing as of today.  Any thoughts on what needs to be changed?

(in_array($wswfo, $hpwxs)) ? $wxsurl =  'https://www.weather.gov/'.$wswfo.'/' : $wxsurl = 'https://www.weather.gov/'.$wswfo.'/weatherstory';
and make sure you have

Thanks, but no joy, Ken.  Still no images.  I tried  to place 'oax' in the https array, but that didn't work either.

Curly's code is more than a bit difficult for me to unwind.  I've given it a shot but now I'm not even seeing new images show up in my '/wscache' directory.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: jgillett on February 28, 2018, 08:07:58 PM
Not every city displays graphics on a regular or daily basis. PSR is a good example. Yesterday there was info about a coming rainstorm and a large graphic to go along with it. Today it says, "Phoenix does not have the Weather Story." Well they do, but when they want. I pushed a lot of green buttons on the map today. Pretty much the same wording along with a lot of other text items below the map.

It seems that the NWS used to accept query strings without a "?" such as http://www.weather.gov/images/arx/wxstory/Tab2FileL.png e73c9f3d342158b6aa283cb30e80054 but no longer does.  Perhaps Ken and his regex wizardry will be able to come up with a better fix, but this seems to be doing it for me:
replace
Code: [Select]
function GetDataByCurl($url)    {
  global $noted;                                                          // set global

with
function GetDataByCurl($url)    {
  $url = str_replace("png ", "png?", $url);    // added 3/1/18
  global $noted;                                                          // set global
and
Code: [Select]

function getWSBystream($url) {
  global $noted;

Jerry  - I notice the map does not change when you select the various green dots. Once I select another location, it always shows the Pocatello, ID section of the map. The wx story and header do change with each different selection. Not sure if it's me or not. I've tried it on Chrome and Firefox and get similar results.

I think it has to do with file permissions, but I haven't solved the problem yet.

Jim's update worked for me, except for the Reno sector. Others appear to be working just fine but not Reno, that still gives me the broken image icon... And, the map shows the correct selection so not sure what the issue is with Jerry's. It could be file permissions as he indicated.

I just tried Reno and it worked fine for me.

As for the overlays on the US map working, are you using wscache as your cache?  I had to go to that to fix something, but I don't remember what the problem was when I did that.  I used to be able to remember things.

Yes, I see them now. Both of them are loaded with files. I also have another folder named "wsmainimages". It has one file in it named WS_map.png. That same file is also located in the wsimages folder. They appear to be identical.

It's a mystery to me too. I suspect it might be a remnant of an earlier installation although all of the image files have a date of 1/6/2018 which is about the time I installed the Weather story routines. I don't have the original files I downloaded so can't go back to them to see if there was a sub-folder in them.

However, this brings up a question regarding the map of the US which shows the wfo's who participate in the weather story program. Who maintains this image file and how does it get updated when wfo's come on-line or drop-off the program?

The wx story and header do change with each different selection. Not sure if it's me or not. I've tried it on Chrome and Firefox and get similar results.
To buttress my idea that file permissions are the issue with the map not changing to a newly selected area, my alternate self-hosted test-site (http://selincolnwx.info/wxstory.php) has no such problems.  I have granular control of file permissions there, whereas on my main GoDaddy-hosted site (https://www.gwwilkins.org/wxstory.php) I don't, and the permissions keep getting hosed when the files are re-written.  All modified files in the GoDaddy /wscache revert to '604' from '707'.  Anybody know how to keep this from happening?

Code: [Select]
function GetDataByCurl($url)    {
  $url = str_replace("png ", "png?", $url);    // added 3/1/18
  $url = str_replace("jpg ", "jpg?", $url);    // added 3/3/18 Shreveport uses .jpg
  $url = str_replace("gif ", "gif?", $url);    // added 3/3/18 Fort Worth use .gif   
  global $noted;                                                          // set global

and

Code: [Select]

Sorry I'm late to the party. Been traveling this past week and just got back last night.
Caught up on the developments and applied Jim's fixes and resolved that problem but I see a new problem, at least for me..
The Southern Region has switched their images url subfolders from /wxstory/  to /graphicast/  thus their images are not working.

I see the line that is probably the reason is my line#297
Code: [Select]
$wxsimage = 'https://www.weather.gov/images/'.$wswfo.'/wxstory/'.$imName.'.png'; //  set image path
It probably needs an array to add the
Code: [Select]
$wxsimage = 'https://www.weather.gov/images/'.$wswfo.'/graphicast/'.$imName.'.png'; //  set image path  option but to be honest, arrays are not my forte.

I have not had any problems.  My images are showing for all Southern Region WFO's without your most recent edit.  I should mention that I have disabled caching.  Might this be the reason?

Well, everything works for me except the Southern Region WFO's. I get the wording, just no images. I'm using V2.24 which I don't know if that was Curly's last or not. I was a beta tester for him and some of my scripts are from that endeavor and may not be his released version.
I have absolutely nothing in the script that mentions graphicast as a possible folder.

Sorry to resurrect this-but I wanted to make a change.

92merc sent me the package and I have done what I thought was correct with all the instructions-but cannot get it to work.

To isolate the issue-I created a page with just the weather story. As you can see it just cuts off and stops.  https://rms-weather.rdale.org/Weatherstory.php

I would not be surprised if it is a code issue on my end somehow. We all know my site is put together with duct tape and chicken wire.

Any help is appreciated. I try as best as a can.

That is old code.  For starters try changing all references from http://www.weather.gov/ (http://www.weather.gov/)  to https://www.weather.gov/ (https://www.weather.gov/) The script will likely jump back to life.  If it doesn't I posted the most recent version a few posts up in this thread a while back.  Try that version and make the changes you require.

Nothing I have tried has worked.

I was able to Iframe tmabell's info to my page-but that is not fair to his system.

He made/edited a script for me.
I am thinking either an issue with the call script or my template. So I have removed it.

Something else has to be the issue. Please help.

edit: here is my page with everything removed but weather story
https://rms-weather.rdale.org/weatherstory.php

I did use this for the call script and it allowed the page to finish.
<?php include("https://rms-weather.rdale.org/ChiefDavid1.php"); ?>

The frame on there is an iframe of my ChiefDavid1 page. Nothing in it.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: tmabell on July 28, 2020, 09:50:52 PM
We know the script works because as you stated, it works on my server here.  Check your server's error logs.  When your script is viewed from the outside I get this (using Chromes Developer Tools) "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"

Hopefully, the server's error log will provide a clue.

Try putting this at the top of the script and see what comes back ..

ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Does someone have the newest WxStory_inc.php v2.24 script they could share?
For some reason, ever since I upgraded my VPS server, I only get the main story pics no Alternate pics. The written text comes thru fine but none of the alternate pics. They are not being produced into the wscache folder.
This occurs on every site I try. I need to compare my script to a working one to see if I changed something along the way.
Thanks.

Not sure how I'd missed this wonderful tool until now.  I'll be using this as an include on a page with other data, but I know for a fact my local WFO doesn't generate a weather story daily.  I'm not too fond of an image placeholder if there's no current weather story...  I don't suppose anyone out there has a mod to suppress the weather story code entirely if there's no current images?

If not, no worries...

Thanks,
Grant

Hi All,

I have not used this script as it does not include Hawaii and Alaska.

Hope maybe one day we could be included?

The NWS offices in Alaska and Hawaii do not make the Weather Story available so they cannot be included in the script.

I tried v2.25 and the stories wont show up. My cache directory looks good. Got the permissions set to 775.

My local NWS does publish stories almost everyday. https://www.weather.gov/sew/

Any ideas? Running php 7.2

No idea but interesting.  I can see the image when viewed with my site/page.  Yours has the text just not the image, strange.  Will be interested in the answer.  Wish I could help.

UPDATE: just went to add the link from my site and the Seattle Wx Story is gone, just like that.

I can see other Story pics but IND .. maybe i need to clear my wscache folder as shows the files but for the pic its wsimg_ind_Tab2FileL.png?1978e7d7654242cfc1bcc4de6247.1e4

It's not posting on the CWA's websites but it is there, or at least part of it is. At least is for ILX and some others I checked.. I just right clicked the Wxstory icon on their website home page and opened image in new tab.
Hopefully just a momentary hiatus.

Guessing it is a "Its not you" problem.   Headlines are updating. Not pics.
Oh well

Hi All,

Still waiting for Hawaii to come aboard on this subject.

We had an tsunami alert from the New Zealand 8.1 earthquake yesterday. Nothing reached here.  Its a good thing.

Aloha,

As a side, if you didn't know, the Western Region Headquarters has a National Weather Story Map where at a glance you can see which site is active. If you see the common black square with writing, which is predominate in the west on the below image, the Wxstory hasn't been issued today yet.

Unfortunately the map doesn't display the ND WFO's and the Duluth WFO.  What's more, the 'black' images in the WRH WFO's aren't current at this time.  Those Weather Stories are actually there right now.

It's a nice idea, but the implementation is lacking.  :-(

I love how the pic for Des Moines is in western Iowa. West of Denison in the Bluffs.

My reference to it is use of being a quick reference to be able to see if it is a national outage as opposed to specific WFO. No, you can see from the time stamps that many are not current.

I'm sure that is done just so not to cover other WFO pics.

So I see now that all of the east coast has a wxStory but is formatted a bit different that the script doesn't fetch the images and text.
Anyone up to updating the wxStory_inc.php script to fetch their data as well. Don't think it would take a lot. Just adding a way to look for their preg_match  identifyers as well. Above my pay grade though. I'll be happy to update the map with all green in the eastern region if completed.

Ok, I have installed this script on my page at https://csraweather.org.  The script says my local forecast office KCAE (Columbia , S.C. WFO) does not have a Weather Story.  When I log on to weather.gov/cae, there is a Weather Story on the website.  Could someone please advise?  Thank You in advance!

See the post above, right before yours.
Title: Re: Curly's Wx Story script
Post by: 92merc on June 10, 2021, 01:34:00 PM
You should have both the wxstory.php file and wxStory-inc.php. 

Inside the INC file at the top, there is a $NWSregion.  That should be set to 'cae'.  Once set, that is usually it.

I hate to be redundant but sometimes posts get overlooked.  Please peruse the earlier post by rrrick8.  There is no way presently to add an Eastern Region WFO's Weather Story to this script.

Are we still unable to include the Eastern office's Weather Story Data?

Melbourne, FL is the only 'red' WFO on the map (https://www.gwwilkins.org/wxstory.php) in the Eastern offices' that currently has a weather story, so no. And it's a shame that not more WFO's in the East publish a weather story.

I check the eastern region often and it now seems like most of them DO have a weatherstory page but something in the code (above my paygrade) is not identifying it and displaying it.

They seem to be following the beats of their own drummers.  Here's State College's offering (https://www.weather.gov/ctp/weatherstory) for example.

How is Curly's script going to accommodate this slide show?

It's a gif so think that wouldn't be a great deterrence.

I have noticed my office rnk has started having a story but I don’t know
if it’s a permanent thing or they are just experimenting with it. I’ll try to pay closer attention
and see if it returns

My point is that gifs are already used by some sites in their weather stories. Usually animated radar. So it seems that the script already handles gif images. As i said. Above my paygrade though.

I took a look and it's also definitely above my pay grade.  There are some gurus on this site who might be able task it, but their time is their own.

I went ahead and made a page for myself that has all the CWA's in it. Most work except for a very few out west but I anticipate them using the same format as the working ones out west when they come on line. It would probably make Ken cringe at the use of iframes but it works so I'm fine with it. Arrays are not my forte, so I just created an iframe template and used it on each CWA in a folder then call them individually via the map.
Until something better comes along I'll fake it until I can make it.  :lol:
