WunderMap issues

Post by aznetcowboy »

First, see the attached file. This is all I see when selecting WunderMap from my Radars selection on my Main Menu. As far as I can tell by selecting the http://www.elgheko.us/check-fetch-times ... w=versions tool from the Saratoga site, everything is up-to-date. So is there a problem with the WunderMap or am I missing something here?

I’ve just checked and I’m getting a blank page with ‘backend failure’. Apparently WU are working on a solution.
Cheers,

Just wondering, what browser are you using? It seems to work with Chrome (not my favorite browser) but not with the Firefox browser which is my preferred browser. :shock:

I use Firefox. Refuse to have Chrome on my system. They'll eventually fix it so I'm happy to wait.

I am getting the graphic (below) lately. Has Weather Underground changed something again?
The code is as follows:

<img src="http://icons.wunderground.com/data/640x480/<?php echo $SITE['WUregion']; ?>_ir_anim.gif" alt="Regional Infrared Satellite"
width="320" height="240" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none" />

Thank you, that did it. I wonder what caused that problem. I have touched that file in at least 6 months and that was to remove a comment I had in the index.php file. Oh well, it is working now.

I have an issue with the following:

<img src="http://icons.wunderground.com/data/640x ... d_anim.gif" alt="Regional Radar" width="320" height="240" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none" />

I've been getting the same animated graphic for months.

Yep, WU is continuing to deprecate older animated .gif map/radar images.

I suggest you use check-fetch-times.php?show=versions and update your site. There's a new NWS-regional-radar-animate.php and USA-regional-maps-inc.php that handle production/display of the map images on the home page. You'll also need to update your homepage with some new code, and new entries in Settings.php to specify the maps to use.
Check the readme file included with the update.
