Updating UV index in strings.ini

[canlab@sasktel.net]

I currently have my website set up to display UV index. It currently shows as a number. I would like to change that to "low", "moderate", etc. Would that be done in the strings.ini file? If so how?

No, you would have to translate the index number into text either on your server using say PHP, or in the clients browser using a bit of JavaScript.

if you take a look at Saratoga templates code you should find how it is done.

Example:

https://www.conligwx.org/wxuvforecast.php

though the url its taken from is here: https://www.temis.nl/uvradiation/nrt/uvindex.php the value is then read and a Low, Medium, high value put in place.

I have also been using this script for a long time. Probably the rounding of numbers used in it causes "none" to appear instead of "low" for any value below 0.5. Has anyone solved this problem for themselves?

If you are using the Davis UV-I, it does not have any values below 0.5, it reports zero.

The problem is probably in the code. The script concerns the UV index forecast and not the actual dose read.
The original script comes from saratoga-weather.
