beteljuice AJAX testers wanted
Wanted !!
Some pre-release testers of the beteljuices AJAX mash that produces these pages:
http://www.beteljuice.com/cumulus/betel_index.html
Volunteers should be intermediate level in javaScript, and have a good understanding of HTML.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it. Is to read the instructions and create your OWN test pages of any skill level you like, to prove all the 'basics' work as expected.
http://www.beteljuice.com/cumulus/README.txt
THIS NOT TO CREATE A WISH LIST, NOR TO NIGGLE ABOUT 'EXTRAS'
For Non-English users, most if not all of the basics, have text look-up arrays which you can modify.
Cons:
You tell me !
Lot of undocumented extras, some still to be tweaked or even created !
Pros:
Even if it doesn't get released, you get a very good basis on which to do your own thing.
(Which is the whole idea anyway !)
You get ALL the example pages / graphics / code as seen
INCLUDING the HUGE ships barometer page - think of that as a limited edition
You also get a stand-alone Zambretti forecaster and simple in / out page.
Read the README.txt and the script (which is reasonably well commented I hope)
The zip file creates its own directory - betel_cumulus/ so that you don't do any damage.
http://www.beteljuice.com/cumulus/betel_cumulus.zip
This file will be deleted Sunday 21st Dec, I would like feed-back by 1st Jan.
Have fun, please don't break it too quickly !!

Re: beteljuice AJAX testers wanted
Something to change if you are using km/h for windspeed in Cumulus
line 903 in betel_cumulus_ajax.js
line 895 in betel_cumulus_biggest_ajax.js
k/h must be km/h
line 903 in betel_cumulus_ajax.js
line 895 in betel_cumulus_biggest_ajax.js
k/h must be km/h
Code: Select all
if(currdat[13] == "km/h") { // data windspeeds are kilometres per hour

Re: beteljuice AJAX testers wanted
Oops !
Sorry - missed a file in the second zip. - used for weather graphics
Should be OK now.
If you already have the second zip and you have modified the BIG graphic, you only need to copy:
"betel_graphics_vars.js"

Re: beteljuice AJAX testers wanted

No real working knowledge of the other
Desperate to have a go though - downloading file now
First attempt - http://www.bramptonweather.co.uk/betel_ ... index.html
needs some work

Re: beteljuice AJAX testers wanted

paulc - you haven't changed the paths in betel_cumulus.js to 'see' your site / info.
NP..
But can desperate peeps please wait for a 'better' ? documented release.

Your server seems very slugish atm.
Grahics 'blink', and your data grab varies between 10s => 20s.
Is that usual ?

Hi beteljuice
My reading in realtime.txt is m/s but on http://www.aadal.biz/~weather/betel_cum ... index.html there is some mph, why?
I like the Snow Line exciting to watch on that.

I've not experienced any problems at my end - the website is hosted in the USA (I think) may account for a slight slowness, but in general it works very fast for me ?beteljuice wrote:Paul C

I assume you mean in the EXTRAS little weather map ?
You will need to change a bit of code both in the script and the html
No - I'm not telling you how (not yet anyway)
THIS IS NOT A 'RELEASE' VERiSON - it's for debugging the BASICS
It's very flattering that people are already modifying the example pages, BUT in a release version the coding and / or html could be different - then you have the headache of re-doing your modified pages
THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS - with all that, that implies - proceed on the assumption that things may be changed at any time.

Windsock mps
Ok - I relent !
Look in the script for:
Edited, because I told you wrong !
// --------- betejuices composite weather 'graphic' ------------------------------
Then look for the bit like below, and replace it with the bit below OR change the three mph references in the script code to ms
However you still have the other EXTRA - betel_wind_blurb - see post further down
