Maintaining legibility especially in the vertical (column) plane for a 'twinned' data entry has proved interesting.

Although I think temperatures in F would be tight, and comparing say high / low pressure would break the cell formating.

The beteljuice attempt using BCJkiwi 'buttons' and Ron's (nitrix) data.

Hmm, personally I find these double entries too hard to read, I don't think the slash makes it any easier, a space/double space may be better.

Nice idea, but somehow it feels 'uncomfortable' .. Edit: old link removed

... and again with eg. deg, F would become even more confusing - I think any kind of 'double-entry' would have to be judiciously considered upon it's unique output.

Well perhaps you can see why I decided to concatenate the double columns into one.

12.3/23.4
12.3/23.4
12.3/23.4
12.3/23.4

12.3 / 23.4
12.3 / 23.4
12.3 / 23.4
12.3 / 23.4

12.3 23.4
12.3 23.4
12.3 23.4
12.3 23.4

| 12.3 | 23.4 |
| 12.3 | 23.4 |
| 12.3 | 23.4 |
| 12.3 | 23.4 | - if you have a table with borders.

Layout does not really work here as the BBS strips out extra spaces but I guess you get the idea.

Indeed Mark, the double entries are very difficult to read for most people - I had some double entries months ago when I first installed the original script - then I got some comments from my users/visitors as the double entries, because the font size had to be reduced (to fit within the same space) were quite difficult to read (many of my users are 50+) - thus, I re-wrote the original script, added all the tags available from Cumulus, and deactivated all double entries. I have not received any comments from my 'audience'... ;)

Back to the new year rollover - Oh dear not yet quite right.
We do need to -1 day.
Have looked in detail at what is on the hoster.
It is the 23/11/2012 here in NZ
The current file shows a last modified time stamp of of 23/11/2012 12:00:00 a.m.
Cumulus (well, Windows 7) shows the exact same time stamp.
The data is for the 22nd.

The best solution I could come up with that should work regardless of the rollover time is :-

Code: Select all

// was a year passed in the URL?  If not use meterological date year from time stamp of dayfile.txt
	if (isset($_GET['year'])) {
		$tableYear=$_GET['year'];
	} else {
		if(date("m", filemtime($dayfile)) == 1 && date("d", filemtime($dayfile)) ==1) {
			$tableYear = date("Y", filemtime($dayfile)) -1 ;
			} else {
			$tableYear = date("Y", filemtime($dayfile)) ;
			}
		}
i.e. if the mod date of the file is the first day of the year use the previous year.

I have tried adding some column banding to my page, I think this helps particularly with the 'double column format?

Agreed, a significant improvement.

The issue for me with the original script was that all the columns are the same width and with the data centred there is no way to intuitively know which columns are a pair. The column headers being right aligned did not help either.
This became more annoying once most pages had double columns.

Your solution resolves this. However I would like to have the paired columns' data closer together than the non-paired columns and am not sure how complicated that would be to do. If it was relatively simple to identify and style differently alternate columns in the double column setup, then a number of options arise,
A vertical border either side of the pair.
More padding on the left of the right column and on the right of the left column.

Much food for thought.

It is relatively straightforward to either overide or declare a (new) class / style so that eg. the 2nd (right) column of the pair was left justified. The existing cell padding would leave a differential gap.

In the tests I posted you will notice that this technique was used to center justify the headers over 'dual entry' columns.

I've posted in https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6640 an update on year rollover - including a comparison of the PHP version you developed in this thread and the PHP version you've linked to from the Wiki. Could be a difference in our time zones issue or an error on my part, but one seemed on your 1 January to try to display 2013 before it was available, but all is right now its 2 January for you.

I edited the Wiki yesterday, and moved the bit I inserted to directly after your subsequent insert, trying to complement your style. I have put some explanation of my changes in https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8690 following on from the experiences noted there of someone trying to implement the JavaScript version.

This year rollover date fix (Posted 5 posts above this) survived the new Year and worked as expected.
