Rain Yesterday won't flash when AJAX updates!

Post by William Grimsley »

Hi Ken,

For some reason the Rain Yesterday value doesn't flash like all the other rain values do when the ajax-dashboard.php updates!

Why is this happening?

Thanks

William

That is by design .. data from yesterday is not AJAX updated as it is not going to change, and the AJAX updates are for some of the data that is offered on the dashboard (not all dashboard data actually appears in realtime.txt, so that is why some data is updated-- not all data). The reload of the page showing the dashboard is needed to get all the data correctly refreshed for yesterday data -- it's why I usually include a

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300" />

in the <head></head> part of the index.php page so you don't get stale yesterday data on the display.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your reply.

Now, I see the logic in Yesterday not being updated as it never changes! Of course, I should of know beforehand! Yes, I have already put the code

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300" />
in my top.php so that ALL of my pages update every 5 minutes!

Thanks for you help,

William

They might change units if Weather-Display is used along with the alternative ajax-dashboard (only supported by WD) so the AJAX-updated values include the units used.
