Known limitations:

  Will give unreliable calculations for 'false' data which is 0 or 0.0 instead of null.

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

Edit: "Forgot To Mention"
If allowed vistors to the page will have their display unit preferences remembered by cookies for 30 days.

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 ......

Your 2011 Jan => Mar data needs cleaning up
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

01/01/11,0.0,0,17:44,9.1,23:44,20.2,18:14,1012.8,17:14,1014.6,23:14,0.0,00:00,0.0,0.0,0.0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
01/02/11,0.0,0,17:44,9.1,23:44,20.2,18:14,1012.8,17:14,1014.6,23:14,0.0,00:00,0.0,0.0,0.0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
01/03/11,0.0,0,17:44,9.1,23:44,20.2,18:14,1012.8,17:14,1014.6,23:14,0.0,00:00,0.0,0.0,0.0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.
