Well I have no idea how any of your website template is set up so I cannot advise you on the details.

I note that none of your pages have that extra info at the top.
The info you displayed is static so it could just be added into the file but that would need to be done for all pages.

Normally this would be done in a header file or something similar that is loaded before (or included in) each page file.

The key is to make the addition in the template files somewhere.
Are there any instructions in the templates you got from css3templates.co.uk ?

Just dropped this on my test page & seem to be getting out of date data.

Not sure of it's origin.

I've got both files processing & uploading, when I look in the files, data seems current.

Most obvious is the incorrect time & date & temperatures.

This is what's in davconfcst.php

Any Ideas what I've done Wrong?

Test site is here:-

http://inverellit.com/weather2/davconvp2CU.php

Code: Select all

<?php

/*

File: davconfcstT.txt

 Purpose: load Cumulus tags required for davconvueCU.php and davconvp2CU.php Scripts.



Instructions:  

 Save this page as davconfcstT.txt and place in your cumulus\web directory

 

 Use the Cumulus, Configuration, Internet, Files panel select an unused entry.

  In the Local Filenames, press Browse and select the davconfcstT.txt file as the local filename.

  In the Remote Filenames box, enter the directory and davconfcst.php as the Remote Filename to use (no 'T'). 

  Leave the Binary? box unchecked,

  Check the Process? box.

  Leave the Realtime? box unchecked.

  Check the FTP? box.

  Press OK on the Internet Settings dialog to close it and save the settings.

Not sure what this means
Not sure of it's origin.
Whenever I attempt to connect to your website, the protections I have set up reject your site as a Phishing site so I can't connect to your site.
The times and dates look OK to me - don't know when you processed the file.
There are no temperatures in the file.
So it seems the file is being processed OK but just to be sure;
Those instructions actually have not been updated for MX. It may be that the configuration in Extra web files is not actually processing and sending the processed file?
Typical config for MX UI, settings Extra web files;
LOCAL FILENAME:- C:\CumulusMX\web\davconfcstT.txt
REMOTE FILNAME:- /Your webserver home folder/your website folder/davconfcst.php
PROCESS, FTP, UTF8, are all ticked

Some users have skipped thru the settings a little too quickly and not customized all the things they should have to suit their local conditions.
Re-read the davconCU_Howto.txt instructions and check that all the steps have been followed.

Ignore my previous post;

My test site contained old data the does not get refreshed.

All good now on the live page, list no links yet.

Hmm,

Any suggestions on how that bit works?

I did wonder what they meant; then look sideways to the console....

The 3 bars means that the code that decodes the Davis forecast cannot find a match to produce any of the icons.

Is the file davconfcst.php being delivered to the website with current data? Again this is all covered in the documentation including what the 3 bars means.

It takes at least 3 hours for a station coming on line to generate a forecast. In that case, the ticker should be telling you a forecast is not available.
