I have downloaded the version 4 forecast scripts https://www.weerstation-herent.be/wsfct4/ now how do I install them What are the steps?
Hi Giwrgos22,
The "official" support topic for this set of scripts is at
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=36478Also you will get better answers if you post the link to your website where you want to use these scripts..
ToDo: You install the wsfct4 scripts on your website, better use the same folder name.
Type in your browser . . .your website . ./ wsfct4/
and the same "Readme" will open as in
https://www.weerstation-herent.be/wsfct4/ The bottom link is labelled
ReadmeIn your case it should go to your own readme
. . .your website . ./ wsfct4/readme.htmlClicking that will display all settings, in the first tab, either for Metric users, such as for Greece, US (with miles, inches and other date-formats en Canadian users.
You need to edit the metric settings one by one in the file
. . .your website . ./ wsfct4/_metric_settings.phpUse a
decent script editor such as
notepad++ for windows or
BBedit on a Mac.
Do not use notepad.exe or ms-word it will kill your UTF-8 scipts. There is a screenshot, second tab, in the readme explaining the different parts of a forecast page.
Then a page explaining the settings for one forecast-company, the example uses met.no but other ones are similar.
After customising the general settings in _metric_settings.php and the page settings in f.i.
==>
first test the forecast page in stand-alone mode f.i.
. . .your website . ./ wsfct4/wsFctMetnoPage4.phpAfter the stand-alone version works OK, you have to decide how to integrate a forecast page into your website.
WARNING: If you have no knowledge of or experience with PHP and editing scripts you should use other solutions and delete these scripts
Succes, Wim
