Topic: wxforecast.php advisory display error

[tshattuck]

Ken:
I just noticed on my NWS Forecast Page http://yourlocalweather-clay-ny.com/wxforecast.php
when I click on the NWS Warning I get the following error: Cannot GET /products/NWS-IDP-PROD-4204196-3553335

I am not sure what is going on. I seem to have all the required updates except for those you posted in the last two weeks. I installed them and received many messages on wxstatus.php. Some files in your template set are not used on my website so I reverted back the previous versions of those files now wxstatus is working correctly. I still have the problem with the wxforecast.php page.

Hope you can help.

Regards

It looks like NWS has changed the URL format to get to the text alerts on alerts-v2.weather.gov

It now needs to be of the form:

  https://alerts-v2.weather.gov/#/?id=NWS-IDP-PROD-4204245-3553356

You can try out a possible fix by going into advforecast2.php, finding this line:

Code: [Select]

  define('ALERTURL', 'https://alerts-v2.weather.gov/products/');
and changing it to:

Code: [Select]

  define('ALERTURL', 'https://alerts-v2.weather.gov/#/?id=');
Worked for me.

Final fix will come from Ken, of course!

Jasiu:

Thanks for the feedback, your suggestion worked. 

The attached file is what now displays when I click on the link in wxforecast.php. I noticed the code appeared twice in the script so I changed in both locations.

I noticed in Auburn, NY the Freeze Watch shows up twice, I assume that is something the NWS is doing. Sometimes I have to refresh the webpage to get the Warning to display. The Forecast Pages load rather slowly I am not sure if this is a script problem or the Internet (ISP). Maybe some other changes are needed in the script.

Hopefully Ken can review.

Thanks again for your assistance.

I like it.  THANKS Jasiu!!       

I've updated the Base-USA distribution and the standalone page with advforecast2.php V5.14 (JSON) incorporating your fix (with credit  )

Best regards,
Ken
