Help Please - NOAA Reports - Website FTP

[Hoeveld]

I am trying to get NOAA reports to my website https://metwatcher.co.uk/index.htm

The desktop version works fine and the NOAA reports are available and working

Can a contributor please advise how I can get the NOAA reports working on the REPORTS tab on my site ?

I have read postings /wiki and am missing something............

Many thanks..............

Attached screenshots

Cordially..........

I think you have to change your NOAA FTP directory to /Reports (rather than /)

[Hoeveld]

Many thanks for your prompt response.

That does not appear to work....

I know there have been some recent conversations regarding NOAA reports. Maybe use the forum Search facility to find them? I think you may have to make a change in one of the javascript files on your website too.

Hi,
Do you want the NOAA reports to be in your remote root or in another folder?
I have mine in a /Reports folder like http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx/ ... YR2021.txt
and in my CumulusMX NOAA settings I have the FTP directory as public_html/cumulusmx/Reports
Then in the js/noaarpts.js I had to modify the default let rptPath = ''; to let rptPath = 'Reports/'; for the reports to display http://www.komokaweather.com/cumulusmx/noaareport.htm

Enjoy,
Paul

Glad to share my experiences...
Presumably you are aware that the reports are created and FTP at end of day. You can manually FTP the existing files and then they should display from your website Reports tab.

Enjoy,
Paul

just to clarify

please edit the file here:

https://metwatcher.co.uk/js/noaarpts.js

change:

Code: Select all

let rptPath = '';

to:

Code: Select all

let rptPath = 'Reports/';

save and then refresh your web browser

OK ...

Post midnight check.

You have either ftp'd or Cumulus has uploaded your reports to Reports/

... but js/noaareports.js is still looking in the 'root' for them.

So do as Simon posted above.

just remember the change is to the file on your webserver and not in CumuluMX, as it is not automatically uploaded to the webserver.

Thanks for that..........I have also learnt about F12 and all the goodies that shows............

[Hoeveld]

That works........

Report for April 2021 is working fine........

But only April, Not sure why that is ?? ( Jan , Feb & Mar are greyed out )...Data starts 1 Jan 2021.......

[ConligWX]

it only shows that because there are only two files in the reports directory

https://metwatcher.co.uk/Reports/

Code: Select all

NOAAMO0421.txt	2021-05-01 00:00	3.3K	 
NOAAYR2021.txt	2021-05-01 00:00	2.0K	 

if you have more NOAA reports in your cumulus install you will need to upload them manually. now you have a website setup, the upload of noaa files will be for new files only.

do you have any more NOAA files in the CumulusMX install?

[Hoeveld]

Simon and others thanks for your help...

If you could point me in right direction
