Topic: Weather Template and scripts from Leuven/Belgium/Europe

[wvdkuil]

Small query, this may sound like a particularly dumb and trivial question, I've been rearranging menu tabs and would like all the main tabs descriptions to have uppercase first letter example "home page" to be "Home Page", webcam to Webcam , altering the text in wsMenuData.xml doesn't seem to affect some of them and cant find anything in the Wiki

There are no dumb questions, really. This is a huge template with hundreds of scripts.
There are facilities I probably have not yet documented, like this one.
There is a setting in wsSettings.php to force  all(translated)  texts to lowercase. Probably this is set to true.

Code: [Select]

$SITE['textLowerCase'] = true;  // all text to lowercase = true  or leave all texts as they are supplied (false)   If you set it to false, all texts remain as they are.
Succes, Wim

Great, everything changed except one" maps" for some reason stayed lower case. this is the setting in wsMenuData.xml  <item caption="Maps">

Well than it is translated to "maps", maybe for other places in the scripts. Either change the name in the menu to "Weather maps" which is probably not there or search the english language file.

Couldn't find anything wrong on the language page, but as you point out 'more than one way to skin a cat',  very impressive bit of software still finding my way around, how long did it take you to get it to the stage it is now.

have you fixed this yet as i cant see it on your page Stewart?

[stewart45]

couldn't find that one but as I only had 2 maps that I was using I moved them into the main menu its not too cluttered

[marfanuk]

I changed it on mine if ever you change your mind.

go to menu style and add text-transform: capitalize to #nav a

[stewart45]

Thanks might try that

Wim,
I am looking to add more counties to my alerts.  Currently my home County is the only County I have and have several others that I would like to add.
How can I go about adding multiple counties? I am aware I may have to add a cron job to get all of them to work.
Would I be able to use Curly's alerts scripts?

I retrieve the alerts via xml feeds. It is not difficult to add more. But indeed they could be better retrieved by a cron job to lower the waiting time. It is a nice idea and see the next weekend how much work it is.
Please mail me or post:
1 a list of the counties you want to add so I can set up a test environment.
2. maybe a screenshot of another website which shows multiple alerts for different counties.

Would I be able to use Curly's alerts scripts?

I am not familar with all american scripts. Do you have the URL?

Wim,

I appologize for the delay in response. you can Go here to see the script for nws-alerts by Curly.
This is a script that can be used with the Saratoga/Carter Lake template or as a stand alone template.
I am attempting to utilize the script on my site now. However, I am having issues with getting the page(s) to show up. I was able to get the page within the template to show up. The page opens blank even though I have "no warnings" alert box set to true.
If I go to the actual pages nws-alerts.php (main alerts page) nws-summary and nws-details pages, I get a 500 internal server error. I have the page set up in wsMenuData.xml as index.php?p=57-3.

wsSettingsWeather.php
#$SITE['uploadDir']      =  'upload'.$SITE['WXsoftware'].'/';      // #####   where to store uploaded files (weather variables graphs clientraw)

$SITE['uploadDir']      =  './../';                           // #####   with this setting: uploaded files are stored in ROOT

#$SITE['clientrawDir']    = $SITE['uploadDir'];                   // #####   for standard loaction of clientraw

$SITE['clientrawDir']    = './../';                            // #####   with this setting:  clientraw files are stored in ROOT

$SITE['steelFile']      = $SITE[''].'./../customclientraw.txt';   // realtime tags (also for steelseries)

   $SITE['wsTags']       = $SITE[''].'./../testtags.php';          // for current and yesterday weather variables

As far as I can see in the settings on your site,
http://www.meteotorrelavega.com/weather2/printSite.php
they all point to the weather2/uploadWD folder.

None point to the root as they should according to the settings you describe in your post.

So to what site are you referring to?

I am on vacation now and will only be able to do more after I am home with normal internet connections next thursday,
Wim

[ea1hmy]

thanks for your reply
if now gives you that because I have removed the settings, I restart the morning as you can and look at him, the first thing is your vacation, you have to enjoy
a greeting

[ea1hmy]

I made a change and now seems well
before
$SITE['steelFile']      = $SITE[''].'./../customclientraw.txt';   // realtime tags (also for steelseries)
$SITE['wsTags']       = $SITE[''].'./../testtags.php';          // for current and yesterday weather variables

now

$SITE['steelFile']      = './../customclientraw.txt';   // realtime tags (also for steelseries)
$SITE['wsTags']       = './../testtags.php';          // for current and yesterday weather variables

[jonnyj771]

Emilio,  can you link me to your site and put those in a text file and pm to me plz.
I'll take a look when I get home this evening

[ea1hmy]

I do not understand what you mean 

[jonnyj771]

Emilio,
Put the file the above string is in into a text file (.txt) and send it to me in a private message.
Also include a link to your site so I can see what it's looking like

Emilio,

I believe you are asking about the Header Gizmo at the top of your page.  That has a time out set on it. I believe it's 5 minutes, but I could be wrong. I think that is why it appears like it isn't updating. You leave the page open for a length of time it stops updating until you refresh the page.

Hi Jonny J
Thanks for your interest, and is working correctly and is updated at the time, could have been my error uploading new modified files, or had not updated the "cache" folder, keep trying more settings so that everything runs smoothly

Would I be able to use Curly's alerts scripts?

Good morning, I am back from vacation and as promised I tested the Curly's alerts scripts and they look great.
My first 'adaption' works at http://www.weerstation-leuven.be/northam/

I will as always keep the adaption in someone elses scripts to the absolute minimum.
As for now I only have to change a few ? in the url-links to a &
The template itself is uses the ? to refer to the pagenumber.

I also had to adapt the css for the alert box to have the same look as the rest of the page , but all will be documented.

Wim

[jonnyj771]

I have the summary page working within the template.  At this point,  the details page is still not showing the same way.  How should I go about changing it to work within the template?
