Yesterday template:

I've been playing with the wx-tags and made a template for the yesterday data (based on Ken's wxrecords.php).

I'm not sure if I've found the right tags but I think I've made it (have an headache too ) this is the Dutch version online http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxyesterday.php?lang=nl (there is only one additional translation made for Yesterday weather the English version is here http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxyesterday.php?lang=en , You don't have to make additional translations if you use the English version as far as I know.

Hopefully somebody can try this template , because I couldn't check rainfall and rainraite because it was dry yesterday. (I will not make a template for 'today'because those values are in the package).

Maybe I've forgot something , Attached a zip for the template.

Feedback is welcome, BTW Ray I don't use weather display and never will

*edit* I did forgot the total rainfall for yesterday this seems to be the wx-tag rfallY but strange enough it gives a mm/hr instead only mm see http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates ... p?sce=dump OEPS my error.

New zip attached latest is the 'good' one

Hello Beau.

... updated 1736 sec ago the counter just keeps going up is there some way to stop it once it has paused ...

It's doing what it should do, It's telling you how long since the last update.

So why would you want to stop it ? - It would then be lying !!!!

Beteljuice,
because some time my eyes skip over paused - reload page to start
so my thinking was if the counting stops i wood see it

This Month Extremes:

I've made a template for this month extremes http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxmonthext ... hp?lang=en (English) http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxmonthext ... hp?lang=nl (Dutch) only transaltion made for 'Extremes this month'

Ken , I think the month WX-tags in CU-defs.php are wrong for Rain/Pressure (Baro) , I'm not sure about wind because all windextremes for me are reached in February 2011 so I can't check this. The temperatures are fine I think UPdate: I uploaded the wrong file the values are good.

I've added this and removed the Low Wind Chill and Highest Hourly Rainfall in Yesterday as I don't have these webtags.
Thanks Ron for sharing.

These are not working for me as I don't have the webtags and I presume you have customized from a database?

You've done what I wanted but couldn't do yet

You've done what I wanted but couldn't :

Well if you have the latest vesrion of Cumulus and the latest updates from Ken it should have to work , it was rather easy when you have done one (the first give me headache ) later I found it great fun
Ron

[nitrx]

Paul I saw you're running Cumulus v1.9.0 (958) You need at least V1.9.1 so you better upgrade, I don't use a database for the templates.
Good luck,
Ron

[PaulMy]

Ah, and I was waiting for v.1.9.1 until Steve released it as non-Beta.

Thanks Ron,
Paul

[steve]

Ah, and I was waiting for v.1.9.1 until Steve released it as non-Beta.

I'm thinking perhaps this weekend some time. Unless someone comes up with a serious bug.

Ken, sorry for the delay in my reply - I have been busy at other scripts and did not noticed your reply/comment (I had forgotten to subscribe to this thread).

Looks like I'm a few Beta tags short at 329 in the current prod+beta tags.txt .. guess I'll have to scour the beta forum for the missing ones.

No need, I will be attaching my latest version of 'tags.txt' (last updated yesterday - 400 alphabetically sorted tags).

...why are you also modifying the CU-defs.php file?

Because (at least) 4-6 Weather Display type tags were needed in one of the template I was playing with - thus I had to modify the 'CU-defs.php' to include those WD tags.

...but be aware that future releases of the plugin will probably replace the CU-defs.php file as more WD:CU matching variables are implemented.

That would be the last of my worries - I never update anything (software, scripts, templates, etc) before making a backup copy of the old stuff. As for the templates, they are always extracted into their own directory, away from the modified/in-use templates. When I decide to update a template, I compare the new template with the old template and enter only the modified sections of the code into my template - my templates are never replaced but only modified or updated thus keeping page formatting I prefer (without any tab characters).

...if you stuck to addressing the Cumulus-specific variablenames as $WX['variablename'] .. just makes your code potentially portable to all the other Cumulus template users instead of grounding it to your specific installation.

The templates I have been adapting to Cumulus have been using the $WX['variablename'] format - I have been using that format for the past years since I did some preliminary work with Kevin Reed and was introduced to the format. Although I spend many hours adapting the scripts, at no time have I ever planned nor thought of doing the modification to make the code portable - I make the modifications so the scripts/templates operate within my own installation. If someone like my scripts/templates, I will gladly modify them for their own use. I tried once to produce portable code but that experience proved unrewarding...

Hi Ken,
I have a question why is forecast.txt not stored in the cache folder?
thanks Beau

[gemini06720]

...why is forecast.txt not stored in the cache folder?

Because the code for the 'forecast.txt' file in 'advforecast2.php' does not point to the cache directory.

If you want to make sure the 'forecast.txt' file is saved in the cache directory (as it should be), you will have to modify the 'advforecast2.php' script and change the path of the variable '$cacheName' - but, remember that modifying the 'advforecast2.php' script will make it non-compliant with the template set and you risk the modified script to be overwritten when a new version of 'advforecast2.php' is released.

Hi Ken,
I have a question why is forecast.txt not stored in the cache folder?
thanks Beau

Ummmm... because I forgot to update the script

Now updated (advforecast2.php V2.18 - 27-Feb-2011) with common cache support.

Use the Updates page http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/updates.php for an updated copy.

Thanks Beau... and thanks Ray for the tags list.

Best regards,
Ken
