Anyone can 'play', but the beteljuice will NOT be answering any 'general' enquiries along the lines of "How do I ..." and "I want ...".

If you have unexpected figures - PLEASE check / clean-up your dayfile.txt

You can change the 'button' style menu for a 'drop-down'.

You can change the default table from 'daily' to 'seasonal'.

You can change the default content from Max Temp to .....

Now try 'dropping' it in your own site style 'template' ..

[water01]

Don't actually have data for 2011 Jan,Feb,Mar as only started in Apr 2011, so I put in 3 dummy lines to make some other code work.

Code: Select all

Your wish is my command http://www.dmjsystems.co.uk/weather/basic.php NB not edited into my menu system yet, next task, but need some breakfast!!

EDIT have now tidied up dayfile.txt for Jan, Feb, Mar.

I have broken the layout when I add my .css (which has some same names in it) and reduce width in this q&d include page here.
I had to add a font size to '#table_container table td,table th' as data table font remained large.

Functionality is spot on, data totals/averages are correct (compare with my page from db) - I would just need to sort out styling.
I only removed 'UV' and altered menu_split number.

Very nice, BTW!

[beteljuice]

@ jdc

Your columns are too narrow (or font too large !)
See baro entries (table 'breaks' container width) or where * has been added (table cells wrap)

In YOUR table_name css you need to remove your height attribute.
BTW - Your baro seems to be absolute from 18th Dec ?

I need to modify the menu 'break' code - it has given you an extra line although there is nothing to be put there.

[beteljuice]

@ David

hmm .......
Should I make all the 'content' of the 'title' transparent or fill with white ?

[nitrx]

I've a headache atm but http://apeldoorn.tk/weer/basic.php works fine even with decimal comma's have to translate and validate the data thanks for sharing Betel .


EDIT al values are rounded to nul after the decimal , have to dinner now

[beteljuice]

@ Ron - a pleasure as always, I wait for you to break it languagewise

Looks like I've got to double-check the way I create the 'season' o/p - sigh ..

EDIT al values are rounded to nul after the decimal , have to dinner now

EDIT: Bu**er - I thought forgot it isn't always . dec separator.
.. BIG problems .. don't go any further Ron .. unless you just want to play with translations.

have to pub now

[nitrx]

@ David

Well personally I like it, looks very clean and unfussy.

[beteljuice]

@ Laurent

Native km/h bug - to fix
Do mean eg. Kilometres ? - I had a Damn Yankee moment, sorry !

@ David

I was thinking about the dropdown selector(s) when the background 'interferes' ...

[mikkimii]

EDIT al values are rounded to nul after the decimal , have to dinner now

I have same issue here. Here is my testing in Finnish and Leuven template: http://www.phpoint.fi/leka446/weather2/index.php?p=900 (Sorry, my host is veeery slow at this moment)

I change UV to Max. Solar radiation.

Now I need few (read at least 10) beers

[nossis]

Thanks a heap!
I have been looking at others who had similar with great admiration and dreamed that I could to. You have made my day!

Test page http://members.iinet.net.au/~nossis/weather/basic.php

I will see if I am clever enough to adjust the colorings. We get a bit hot here.

Lost the anemometer in 2013 as the data shows.
Also will investigate why not getting UV index values, had the instrument as of early 2013.
