Link please - everything I try either times out or gives "forbidden - 403"
- suggest you make a duplicate (renamed) page for testing if you haven't do so already.

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
I am trying it on my www.komokaweather.com/weather
sun_banner.php and sun_button.php are in www.kokokaweather.com/astronomy
I'll see if I can set up a separate test page in the morning.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
typo s/b www.komokaweather.com/astronomy/sun_banner.php sorry
And www.komokaweather.com/astronomy/sun_button.php
Only files related to the sun test are in the /astronomy folder
the www.komokaweather.com/weather page calls that sun_banner and sun_button but now gives a dead icon image

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
Aha - a light goes on !!!!
A couple of things:You have just told me the 'images' are in ../astronomy so change the update locations.
Next: html .....You have quoted a <span> with width and height - <span> does NOT accept width or height declarations ! - Plus it shouldn't be there, why have you tried to reserve space the size of the 'banner' when the only thing visually in that space is the 'button'. If you need to set width, do it in <td style="width: ??px;">
Also you have asked for the 'banner' to be center-left, that might go off your screen ?
Hopefully those changes will get you something you can see !
A couple of things:
Code: Select all
function update(){
var popnow = Date.now();
$("#popup").attr('src', 'sun_banner.php?'+popnow);
$("#sun").attr('src', 'sun_button.php?'+popnow);
}
</script>
<!-- end beteljuice fun stuff -->
Next: html .....
Code: Select all
<td>
<span style="width: 400px; height: 200px; margin: 5px; border:0">
<div id = "beteljuice_stuff">
<img src = "../astronomy/sun_button.php" id = 'sun' />
<div id = "sun_pop" class = " sun_pop_out off ">
<img src = "../astronomy/sun_banner.php" id = 'popup' />
</div>
</div>
</span>
</td>
Also you have asked for the 'banner' to be center-left, that might go off your screen ?

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
This is more than a brave test, it is a learning lesson as well thank youHopefully those changes will get you something you can see !
Yes I've got the sun plot back, and I think a popup but as you suggested I can't see it http://www.komokaweather.com/weather/
I'll play a bit more with the display coding when I return from driving in our unwelcome November snow... https://map.bloomsky.com/weather-statio ... apnJSnm5m3
p.s. I'm good as anyone in cut and paste, trial and error and following point by point instruction, but when it comes to remembering and visualizing...
Thanks again, and enjoying
Paul

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
Hi beteljuice
I changed up the background colour on mine, to match in with my website. However, as soon as I changed the background colour, the padding between dawn/sunrise/sunset/dusk became large. I put it all back to default to check to see if I had done something, but it was literally changing the background colour that did it.
I have kept it as it is and just removed the word 'Legend' so that it doesn't cover anything up.
I just wondered where I needed to change the padding in those?

Best.

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
@ everyone - Mapantz is talking about getting 'down and dirty' in the sun_banner.php code !
The sun_banner.php is essentially the work of Jeremy Dyde, building the text around the sun_button code and using math to try and fit things by changing font size in certain areas. - the mods to insert event times has removed most of the functionality of the original.and indeed that is where your problem lay, the line breaks for your font style are deeper than the original - you're on your own
The beteljuice relents - only because you reinforced something that BCJKiwi tried to tell me (I've put the references to the fonts directory in the place), and I actually like the font your are using !!!
Here is your version without any tweaking of padding / math, etc. etc.
and here is what I propose as the new standard (NOT the colours - just font size and style)...
Which the beteljuice has had to add maths that will probably cope with most fonts.
Also of course Mapantz has highlighted the fact that the beteljuice has to remove and 'hard code' a lot of what were user varible options, but can longer be used
@ EVERYONE
I am still debugging IE 11 on the DEMO (or configurator as BCJK has nicknamed it) and there will be several files I will have to rebuild without breaking anything - so It may be sometime yet before it's all done and dusted.
By which time you experimenters will have to download and do any reconfiguring all over again

No .. It was as soon as you changed the font style.However, as soon as I changed the background colour ...
Not true, you changed the font and have reduced the height (width) of the 'hours' around the outside of the button, so you modified the padding, that didn't work so you modified some of the math and ignored statements likeI have kept it as it is and just ...
Code: Select all
// ******* EXPERIMENT - output event times ***********
// NO ACCOUNT for options has been made !!!!!!!
imagettftext ( $img , $szFont-4 , 0 , 32 , 160 , $black , $lTextFont , $dawnStartTxt."\n\r".$sunRiseTxt."\n\r".$sunSetTxt."\n\r".$duskEndTxt );

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
@paulmy
You still haven't modified the update script for your 'image' locations !!!
You have:Just for you - it should be
... and I've seen the results of some of your cut'n'paste
Edit:I see you've now done it - but as I suspected the 'pop-up' is off the page.
If you re-configure the position and down-load the files, all you need to change is the css portion - unless you change lat/long etc. in which case you want the php files as well, but the html and updater code won't need to changed.
You still haven't modified the update script for your 'image' locations !!!
You have:
Code: Select all
<script> // optional image updater
$(document).ready(function(){
update(); // immediate put all images in the same place / time
setInterval(update, 60*1000);
});
function update(){
var popnow = Date.now();
$("#popup").attr('src', 'sun_banner.php?'+popnow);
$("#sun").attr('src', 'sun_button.php?'+popnow);
}
</script>

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
Sorry to keep on this
I presume this is the code that locates the popup?
I think I got everything else in order.
Enjoy,
Paul
I have reconfigured and selected the various pop up locations, and that shows correct in the optional popup preview but not in my page live view. The current pop up location is upper right and then updated the <style type="text/css"> but the popup still remains mostly hidden beyond the left side of the page www.komokaweather.com/weatherEdit:I see you've now done it - but as I suspected the 'pop-up' is off the page.

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
I may have 'broken' it with all the 'fixes' I've been trying - I check it out tomorrow ..
Last time Iooked you have a broken <div> starting inside your table and ending outside. Also your credit to me was in a <tr><td> outside the table.
I never get enough time to play with your page because of your meta refresh and huge picture downloads !
In fact earlier I accidentally left a window open on your page and eventually my poor old XP machine froze and died.
I just looked at your download file, and the values you just posted are NOT the ones in the file !
... I think you'd better recheck the file.

When I said I kept it as it is, I meant the changes that I made.
However, I still standby what I said; before I changed the font or anything else, all I did was change the background colour and it causes the extra padding between sunrise/sunset etc
Here's the same one with just the background colour changed: https://warehamwx.co.uk/sun_banner1.php
That's why I find it odd - didn't change the font, just 255, 255, 255 to 84, 84, 84

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
Ne'er mind ... you've got the code you need in the one I posted above.
.. but this 'banner' is highly stripped down from the original in terms of flexibility and I must stress to everyone do NOT stray from the beaten path.

Re: A few brave testers wanted please
OK - the beteljuice thinks it almost works nicely in IE 11
The problems of course were with all the scripting and css manipulation required to give you 'real-time' changes. M$ IE either disregarding them or breaking the script(s) execution.
More facilities added in order to dissuade messing tweaking, although there are still plenty of advanced options available in the 'graphic' files themselves - DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK !
NB: The fonts directory is not in the same place as before ! - It should be located at the same level as the sun_????.php files.
ie. {these_files}/fonts
I've got fed up of fighting IE11, so I still may have made a silly error in the 'production' script, So ....
Once more - BRAVE TESTERS only - but the betejuice hopes it's done and dusted.
