The script doesn't use web tags, it uses realtime.txt. It has no idea what 'wlatest' is unless you tell it. The labels you've changed are just identifiers for the fields in realtime.txt. In fact, what the script calls 'wgust' is actually the 'latest' wind speed.

Oh, right! Thanks, changing both tags from "wlatest" to "wgust", worked!

HI,

I'd like to add a setting to the banner (change Windchill to Apparent Temp).
The code shows realtime.txt fields & pos 0 to 39 however apptemp is not shown in the 'banner.php' script.

How and where do I add the apptemp (realtime.txt pos # 55) to the code so it will be displayed on the banner??

Thanks,

Arthur

You need to extend the 'cvalues' array so that it goes as far as the field you want. Then use whatever identifier you give to the field you want later on in the lines of code which write the data to the image.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

This means I have to add the 'cvalues' positions 40 - 55 (as the realtime.txt currently shows)..??
According realtime.txt it's: '10 minute high gust' (#40) to 'Apparent Temp' (#55)

Thanks,

Arthur

Hi Steve,

Figured it out. Correct display now!! Thanks!!!

BTW: Thanks for the final version 1.9.3 as well.
Great!!

Cheers,

I have been attempting to add a background image to my banner but have been struggling. I think it might be an issue with the palette used.

If I use this:

Then, using these instructions I get this:


But if I fade it and use this:

I get a mess like this:


The same if I use .png or .jpg - I still get a mess.

Any suggestions as to how to make this better would be very gratefully received! Thank you!

Hi

Try to change this line of code in your banner.php:
with this one:
Hope it helps

That's got it. Thank you very much indeed, Werk_AG.

Rats. I merged the topic and ended up with the title of the new one instead of the original. I should just leave things alone.

I'll see if I can fix.

Edit: sorted, I think.

The path is correct; the problem is that you have no realtime.txt file on your web site. The most likely cause is either that you haven't selected the realtime settings on the internet settings screen, or you haven't supplied the correct directory in the web site setup.

I presumed because the site updates realtime.txt was there...

Hello,

I am new to posting on this forum, been reading stuff for around a year.

I am stumped, i am trying to get the background image on my php banner, I currently have this in the code:


// Output the header to let the browser know we are
// sending a graphic file format
header("Content-type: image/" . $SITE['format'] );
$im = @imagecreate($SITE['image_width'], $SITE['image_height'])
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");

// Set colors we want to use...
// first background is a white background
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
$green = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x80, 0x00);
$blue = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00);

$baseimg = imagecreatefromjpeg("background1.jpg");

imagecopy($im,$baseimg,0,0,0,0,$SITE['image_width'], $SITE['image_height']);
imagedestroy($baseimg);

// Make a Border Around the box


I have a 17KB file called background1.jpg in the /images folder, but all I get is the default white background, what daft thing am I missing?

Thanks in advance

background1.jpg in the /images folder

But where is the php file ?

$baseimg = imagecreatefromjpeg("background1.jpg");

Also to avoid any unexpected colour interactions it would be better to: See https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 0&start=15
