beteljuice AJAX testers wanted

[aadal]

Ok - I relent !

Look in the script for:

// --------- 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 wind_mps

Code: Select all

// create wind graphic / data - using now (gust) value
				spacer="";
				if(wind_mps >= 1) {	// build wind info section(s)
					Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_pic_windsock", "<img src=\"" + here + "stuff/wind_sock.gif\" alt=\"" + langWindFrom + valLang + "\" title=\"" +langWindFrom + valLang + " (" + val2 + "\&deg;)\" />", "");
					Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_pic_windspeed", wind_mps.toFixed(1) + "<br />", "mps");
					spacer="&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";
				}else{
					Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_pic_windsock", "", "");
					Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_pic_windspeed", "", "");
				}

Thanx I try thise, not working..
Play with it to morrow..

I must be getting soft !!!

Here is an alternative betel_cumulus_ajax.js so that the EXTRAS 'weather map' and 'wind blurb' are ms native, not mph.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE / MODIFY YOUR OWN EXTRAS !!!

http://www.beteljuice.com/cumulus/MPSbe ... s_ajax.zip

UnZip and RENAME to betel_cumulus_ajax.js - Don't forget to alter the settings to your own site !

Now can someone please just try creating their OWN simple page to prove the 'variables' all work as expected !!!!!!!

take tags.....throw them into table....work is calling

look at it and you have a list of tags.....don't ask......I don't know.... when I have more time...

Yes you are

Now can someone please just try creating their OWN simple page to prove the 'variables' all work as expected !!!!!!!

change:
in both js files to display km/h instead of kph

Code: Select all

// define some user (html) variables

			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps", wind_ms.toFixed(1), " mps");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kph", wind_k.toFixed(1), " km/h");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mph", wind_mph.toFixed(1), " mph");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kts", wind_kts.toFixed(1), " kts");

			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps_ave", wind_ms_ave.toFixed(1), " mps");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kph_ave", wind_k_ave.toFixed(1), " km/h");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mph_ave", wind_mph_ave.toFixed(1), " mph");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kts_ave", wind_kts_ave.toFixed(1), " kts");

			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps_recent", wind_ms_recent.toFixed(1), " mps");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kph_recent", wind_k_recent.toFixed(1), " km/h");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mph_recent", wind_mph_recent.toFixed(1), " mph");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kts_recent", wind_kts_recent.toFixed(1), " kts");

			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_ave_max_TIME", currdat[31], "");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps_ave_max", wind_ms_ave_max.toFixed(1), " mps");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kph_ave_max", wind_k_ave_max.toFixed(1), " km/h");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mph_ave_max", wind_mph_ave_max.toFixed(1), " mph");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kts_ave_max", wind_kts_ave_max.toFixed(1), " kts");

			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_gust_max_TIME", currdat[33], "");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps_gust_max", wind_ms_gust_max.toFixed(1), " mps");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kph_gust_max", wind_k_gust_max.toFixed(1), " km/h");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mph_gust_max", wind_mph_gust_max.toFixed(1), " mph");
			Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_kts_gust_max", wind_kts_gust_max.toFixed(1), " kts");

Someone else now, please

VERY nicely integrated Jozef

But I did see your earlier table, which highlighted a coding error in the ajaxupdatecount area

So I'm afraid I will be redoing the Zip again (although variable names won't have changed)

I'll change kmh to 'output' km/h

What about mps - do people prefer ms ?

[pinto]

What about mps - do people prefer ms ?

When I look at the dutch or scandinavian websites, most of them use m/s

[dane]

I was coding along happily until I experienced a "funny" thing: I tried to have the same Ajax "variable" in 2 different places on the same page... And in the second place (HTML-wise) I got: nothing.
Is that "as designed" and "to be expected", or did I do something wrong?

Ib

[pinto]

each variable has to be unique

You can add a second one to the js file and use it
example for UV

Code: Select all

				Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_UV", currdat[43], "");	// effectively a text value, no processing
				Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_UV_second", currdat[43], "");	// effectively a text value, no processing

and use

Code: Select all

<span class="ajax" id="ajax_UV"></span>
<span class="ajax" id="ajax_UV_second"></span>

[beteljuice]

From the README.txt - the clue is in the name

THIS MEANS EVERY TARGETED ELEMENT ON ANY PARTICULAR HTML PAGE MUST HAVE A UNIQUE ID !!!

If you need to duplicate anything look for where the first one appears:

eg.

Rset_ajax_obs("ajax_wind_mps", wind_ms.toFixed(1), " mps");

Then copy that with a different 'variable' name:

Rset_ajax_obs("my_duplicate_wind_mps", wind_ms.toFixed(1), " mps");

or if you wanted NO decimal places:

Rset_ajax_obs("my_duplicate_wind_mps", wind_ms.toFixed(0), " mps");

Get the idea ?

Just noticed pinto beat me to it

My thanks to both of you!

Zip has been updated !

http://www.beteljuice.com/cumulus/betel_cumulus.zip

Minor coding mod to scripts.
Also where output, wind units now m/s and km/h
NO VARIABLE NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED

very minor tweak to index and table pages, to avoid confusion with all the '/'

** BONUS ** BONUS ***
For the remaining testing period only !
There is now a version of betel_cumulus_ajax.js for EVERY 'native' wind unit.
This ONLY AFFECTS THE 'EXTRAS', little 'weather map' and 'wind blurb'

If you don't want the default mph, rename it to MPHbetel_cumulus_ajax.js
and rename the one you want to betel_cumulus_ajax.js

Don't forget to set-up the script to see your data.

betel_cumulus_biggest_ajax.js has CHANGED
If you don't want mph, scroll down toward the bottom of the script and follow the instructions.
betel_big.html has CHANGED
If you don't want mph, scroll down and follow the instructions
(NEW graphic in the EXTRAS folder)

If you have modified but not renamed the html pages
DO IT FIRST !

[dane]

..... just for info: making progress - when time permits
Sample page as it stands right now: http://www.ibtest.dk/vejr/

No major problems. Only minor:
- to "localise" you have to find language-specific bits and pieces in many places in the code...
- didn't seem to be able to specify color in code like the line below. Italic works, but not color

Code: Select all

<span class="ajax" id="ajaxbeaufort" style="color: darkblue; font-style: italic;"></span>

Everything you need to know about 'color':

Great start ib !

I thought most the basics had language arrays ?

The extras are usually unique code, as you would do for yourself rather than a global audience.
