Cumulus Support

I've a lot of issues, this is the first

- I am translating the file "language-ct-txt" and I can not find a phrase. In my personal website, you can see that says "Probáblemente lluvioso " in the section of the rain, but in the translation file, the only overlap is in the WU-section forecast.php.

That is why it may be in another section, but failed will find itself

http://www.meteotortosa.cat/web3/wxindex.php

OMG !!

I've a big issue. I've tried to insert a new link with flyout-menu.xml and I've this error
Where are wrong?

www.meteotortosa.cat/web3 <- the web

SOLVED !!

Also i have the WU-Forecast.php running properly for my area but the forecast on the wxindex.php is not the correct region. Here are my links Http://www.waterfordcityweather.com/wxindex.php
http://www.waterfordcityweather.com/WU-forecast.php

For the templates, all the configuration items are in Settings.php (and Settings-weather.php).

For the WU-forecast.php, enter your primary site URL in $SITE['fcsturlWU'] (or as the first entry in $SITE['WUforecasts'] = array( ...);

When using the templates, you don't have to customize the support scripts like WU-forecast.php .. the script will configure itself based on the associated entries in Settings.php / Settings-weather.php files.

Have you seen in my web anything that it should not be modified?

Thanks,

Hi Lluis, my comment was intended for mickopla .. sorry, I'd not included a quote about that when originally posting, so I understand the confusion.

I recommend that folks not modify the underlying support scripts (like WU-forecast.php, get-meteoalarm-info.php, get-metar-conditions-inc.php, common.php etc) as those scripts may be replaced in full by a future update. The wx...php, Settings.php, Settings-weather.php, top.php, header.php, menubar.php, footer.php and flyout-menu.xml are all intended to be modified by you to suit your needs .. the distributed pages of those names are starting points. If they need replacement in the future, the updates script will note "replace old with new after modifications are made" to signal that you'll need to port your mods from the old to the new page before installing.

The language-LL.txt files are also expected to be modified by you if need be. The distributions may include updated versions as folks contribute them for the various languages .. it's your option to keep the one for your primary website language as-is, and just update the ones for the other languages you offer on your site.

Since the distribution is all in source, it's yours to enhance as you see fit .. you can make your maintenance job easier by only modifying the scripts you need to modify, and relying on replacements with updates as they are available.
The support scripts get replacements when either an underlying change to a source website (like WeatherUnderground or temis.nl) changes format and needs a script change to accommodate the new format, or a support script may have a change to fix a bug or provide a template feature enhancement (like the recent changes to provide a wxmetar.php page).

Hope this helps...

BTW.. when you're satisfied with your changes for Catalan, I'd love to pick up and distribute them for the lang=ct translation

Best regards,
Ken

Thanks Ken

I really appreciate your fantastic templates. It took me a while to adjust to the php format and which php files to edit to make changes but i'm getting there.

Best Regards

Mike

Edit: I set up a satellite php but i cant get the maps to fit properly on the page. I have seen the exact set up on another website and they fit fine. I'm wondering what i need to edit in order to fix this page. Cheers, Mike

A little help is appreciated

There are three items in Settings-weather.php that need to be changed to make the graphs and NOAA reports work. You need to use relative file addressing for these items, not URL links, so change to and it should work (assuming your site stays in the ./web3/ directory relative to the document root of the website.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you are enjoying using the template set

You just need to add a ' width="620" height="451" ' to the <img ... /> statements to have the browser scale the images to fit in the 620px space available in the narrow template. Those images are 845px wide by 615px tall so overflow the display area.

Best regards,
Ken

That worked great.

Not directed at Ken but maybe someone else or Ken might know the answer. I want to add the wxspace.php to my site. I have tried the script that is for the USA template but i'm getting a Error 003 on the images. I was looking for a Base-World version of the script but couldn't find one that's why i used the USA version. so i'm wondering is the error 003 because its the wrong version or would it be the file permissions which i have changed as per Readme.txt of script? Thanks in advance.

A lot of thanks Ken, It's works !!! or not !!

Can you see this, please? -> http://www.meteotortosa.cat/web3/wxnoaa ... eports.php
And my NOAA-reports web folder -> http://www.meteotortosa.cat/meteoct/NOAA-reports/

I'm looking for into some files, and I think is all OK

A lot of thanks again

It's likely that your PHP installation has turned off allow_url_fopen (it's the default in PHP5).

Edit (or create a new) php.ini file in the document root of your website and put in it:

allow_url_fopen = on;

Then the image scripts should be able to open/resize/cache the images on the space weather page.

Yes, you can use the USA version with your template set .. the only downside is that it will remain in English (as there is no built-in support for the translation functions).

Ken

Glad the Graphs images are working now

The issue with the NOAA reports is caused by the naming of the files in your meteoct/NOAA-reports/ directory.

The files there are

NOAA2007.txt
NOAA200705.txt
NOAA200706.txt
NOAA200707.txt
NOAA200708.txt
NOAA200709.txt
NOAA200710.txt
NOAA200711.txt

NOAAPRMO.TXT
NOAAPRYR.TXT
NOAAYR.TXT
NOOA200708.txt
NOOA200809.txt
NOOA200810.txt

and for Cumulus reports, should be named as

NOAAMO<MM><YY>.txt for monthly reports (e.g. NOAAMO1211.txt for December, 2011)
NOAAYR<YYYY>.txt for yearly reports (e.g. NOAAYR2011.txt for 2011 report)

It looks like you have a mix of WeatherLink names and Cumulus names in that directory. Correct the filenames to match the Cumulus convention, and the NOAA report display should work fine. Be sure to remove all the other files not matching the Cumulus convention from the directory.

Ken

Hi Ken

I created a php.ini file with just "allow_url_fopen = on;" in the body of the file and i still have the error 003. Should there be anything other than the "allow_url_fopen = on;" in the txt of the file? Would love to get this working but it is trying on my patience at this stage Thanks in advance
