BT, Wanted to say I appreciate ALL the work you did on these 2 forecasting scripts. There really is a LOT of coding involved for you. Can't imagine the hours you spent with these, getting them to function as they do. Having said that, I will probably discontinue their use or use them on a temp basis, because of my unique and particular environmental situations. I live at nearly 9,000' elevation, in the front range of the Rockies. 15 miles to my East the elevation is 6200', to my South 15 miles away is Pikes Peak at 14,000' and to my West is a pass with an elevation of 9500'. With all these elevation changes, getting a forecaster to work correctly is just too difficult. Just this morning we had over 7" of snow with my temp. at 36 degrees! We were maybe 3 miles from the rain/snow line, below which minimal rain was recorded. The Sager forecaster does seem a little more dependable, however since it uses the Cumulus "current conditions" logger as part of its function, and I use that as a way of placing the current NWS forecast on my site, I decided the NWS forecast is more in line with what we can expect here and will continue to use that. It is really amazing to me, the talent and knowledge available on this Forum. Good luck with future endeavors..... :clap:

Thanks to "steve", the new Cumulus decimal GPS tags now can convert commas into periods. You must be running Cumulus 1.9.4 beta build 1073 or newer for these to work. I added support for them in the attachment in the very first post of this thread.

I encourage all of you who are using BT's Global Sager Weathercaster JavaScripts For Cumulus to reload everything FROM SCRATCH even if you just updated it a few minutes ago from the time of this post following the directions in the first post. Also be sure to do the HTML code changes again.

Now it is working, even with the damm comma... :)
I have tested with the suplied indexT.htm. Now I will try to integrate in my template.
Thanks for your nice work.

I am impressed with Steve's ability to quickly troubleshoot all of us.

Damn commas, lol.

I figured out how to add my JavaScripts to the Saratoga weather templates. Backup these two files just to be safe:

top.php
wxindex.php (possibly renamed to index.php)

For top.php on Line 113, CHANGE:

Code: Select all

	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
TO:

Code: Select all

	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
	<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="299">
	<script type="text/javascript" src="bt-sager-cu.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="bt-sager.js"></script>
For wxindex.php on Line 40, CHANGE:

Code: Select all

<body>
TO:

Code: Select all

<body onload="forecast();">
And on Line 91, CHANGE:

Code: Select all

  </table>
TO:

Code: Select all

  </table>
  <p align="center"><b>12-24 Hour Forecast:</b><br>

Thanks for all this help.
I had added your JavaScripts in a new page in the Saratoga template ( http://www.meteocercal.info/localforecast.php ),
but in future I will do it in the Home Page, as you explain.

For now, I must find a way to get automatically current conditions for my place, and put then in the currentconditions.txt

Greetings

It started raining about 40 minutes ago. It stormed pretty good here and is still raining. Here are the forecasts from the Zambretti and the Sager leading up to this storm:

Sager
Rain or showers followed by fair early in period (within 6 hours) and becoming cooler; Moderate to fresh (13-24 mph) West or Northwest winds.

Zambretti
Fine Weather

Not so fine after all, lol.

Looks like it's working on my site, fairly accurately at this point :)
Though since modifying the index.php, I've lost the hands off my clock.

Here's the before code (lines 31-42 inclusive) :

Code: Select all

<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title><?php echo $location.' | '.$TT_now; ?></title>
	<meta name="keywords" content="Current, actually, last minute" />
	<meta name="description" content="Current weather observations" />
	<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/clock/clockt.js"></script> 
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/clock/clockp.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/dropmenu/dropdowntabs.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
and line 84

Code: Select all

h1><?php echo $Tr_forecast; ?> : <span style="color: #000"><?php echo $forecast; ?></span></h1><br />
and here's the complete modified index.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
$tpl_version = "1.0";
if (isset($_GET['ver'])) {
  echo $tpl_version;
  exit;
}

session_start(); // start PHP session
// Check if a language has been selected
if (isset($_POST['langue'])) {
  $lang = $_POST['langue'];
  $_SESSION['langue'] = $lang; // store session data
}
elseif(isset($_SESSION['langue'])){
  $lang = $_SESSION['langue']; // Default language
}
else {
  $lang = 'en'; // Default language
  $_SESSION['langue'] = $lang;
}

// Include text and data file
require('lang/text_standard_'.$lang.'.php');
include('wt_data_inc.php');

// Include language files available in lang folder

How do you feed Cumulus with the Current Conditions state? You do it manually with current conditions box, or with some automated method?
If with some automated method, from were you get current conditions state? From a near Metar with some type of script?

Sorry for all this questions

I haven't looked at the script but it sounds like you are just setting the onload() function like

body.on load = function () {...};

This will replace any existing on load function that is already present. If you use jquery it will automatically append your new function, or if you are not using a framework then you need to use .attachevent() or create your own function to do the append....

window.attachEvent("onload", function(){...});

Thanks for taking the time to post it though.

As I suspected... I can't do that, mostly of the time I'm far away from the station location.
Thanks for reply.
