Sorry Bianco, Im not sure what you mean, your gauges work fine, but in the first link you probably used some incorrect url for the source because the data is outdated.

re_Jachym

  just a detail for the rose of the winds: compared to the variables that one reads in the gauges "wind run today" ....
for the link of the source data MB, i nevertheless sent back to the file (updated) of "mbLive.txt" !
i missed something? thank you

[Jáchym]

Wind rose data comes from the database, it is not sent by MB

[Jáchym]

you must provide relative path for the mbLive.txt otherwise the time will not work

[bianconero57]

you must provide relative path for the mbLiv("path") e.txt otherwise the time will not work

  sorry confused i thought to do well with url ... and sorry also for my ignorance, in my case i have to inquire what exactly ("path") ?
thnx

[Jáchym]

Hi,
no problem.

Url will work for the data, but not for the date/time, because the script checks the time of file creation and you can only check that if you access the script locally, not as an external file.

So you have to use something like for example:
"../../mbLiveGauges/mbLive.txt"

[bianconero57]

So you have to use something like for example:
"../../mbLiveGauges/mbLive.txt"

  have to be the only one but in my case, the function "path" does not update the plugin except to fill in the full URL of the file mbLive.txt 
not serious, i tested with the [database] and it works
as my MB Pro allows the ftp sending of the data file in "Clientraw" format, the complete URL of the file.txt works as well 
Thank you A ++

Just a possible bug or problem wit the cityConditions (Current Conditions) plugin.
It does not seem to be reliable. Sometimes it works and sometimes it returns nothing.
May be Yahoo problems or some such - I am not sure - just thought I would report it.
Thought it might be just my site but seems to be the same on the MT demo site.
Cheers
Justin

Yes it is Yahoo - with PHP it is realtively simple, if there is a bug, it fails, if not, it works. So given it works "sometimes" the only possible explanation is Yahoo - and I know they are very unrealible, probably the second worst option after WU

Originally Yahoo was used for the interactive banner at the top, i then had to change this to use METAR, which is not so region-specific, but reliable. I guess there is not much we can do or expect given it is a free API. I even had to remove the pressure completely not long ago, because there was a bug, they reported nonsense, people told them about it on their forums and they didnt do anything since March, so I deleted it.

Hello Jachym,

Is there any way to stop the gauges from resetting? Upon every update the temp resets and then goes back up, looks strange when I do 5 second updates.

Useless ****ers. Only thing they seem to be good at is getting hacked!
Thanks for update.

If you want to fix it immediately, set your T limits to multiples of 20 (in case of F) or 10 (for C). That should do it.

I disagree with this... I mean before we say something like that we should think about how much you paid Yahoo for this And remember that by parsing data from their API they dont get many ad views from you

Btw... they introduced OAuth2 mechanism at the beginning of last yr and because so many people protested they at least went back to no auth API - which actually might be the problem, if there was some API key required with some sensible limit, just like Google Maps, Im sure their servers wont be so overloaded and it would work for all "normal" users if they use proper caching (data is only updated maybe very hour, so even 100 calls/day is enough, like this, bots can be calling for data every second...)

Yes, that worked, set it to -20 to 120 F

Thanks.

Hi Jachym,
two questions about steelseries plugin.

1) What about liveGaugesWD plugin? Can i delete it?
2) I've tried to insert plugin menu like this: #plugin(steelSeries) but it doesn't show anything.

Sorry if this questions just had an answer but i'm on alps mountain now and internet connection is very bad!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,


Alessandro

[Jáchym]

1) depends what you want, you can use neither, one of them or both
2) you need to update menu.php, this is a very common question

I am sorry but this was unforgiveable "Yahoo hack: 1bn accounts compromised by biggest data breach in history - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/14/yahoo-hack-security-of-one-billion-accounts-breached"
Anyway off topic so I'll get off my soab box!

My Steelseries temp WIND gauge is updating (drawing) the recent scale but the pointer is not moving and the LED display value does not change. Using version 1.1 with Cumulus realtime.txt

Loves those gauges, btw!

You can check the direct input to the gauges here:

Hi!

Why can't choice in steelSeries setup "TYPE5"-"TYPE8" gauge type for temperature and humidity gauges?

[Jáchym]

Because they use different syntax, they have different specifications for example for the ranges etc. They are different gauge types, not just alternatives and the ones used make more sense for temp and humidity, while the other one for precipitation.
Type1-Type4 is practically the same gauge, just alternative styling. Likewise 5-8. But using 1 instead of 5 for example would need a different script for those gauges.

[Brett001]

I see, thanks Jáchym. Otherwise the steelseries plugin very cool, I like it!

[Jáchym]

Ive noticed a strange problem with cross-origin policy, is anyone else having the issue that they cannot see any icons (or strange symbols instead of them) when they are not logged in as an admin? (which is what is weird about it, the fact it works when logged in as admin). On my demo site for example, I see it fine even when logged out.

[WessexWeather]

I have noticed this yes. Thought it was due to my work PC using an outdated browser.
