Are you sure you have made the suggested modifications! I just looked at the source code for 'gauges.js' and it is still showing:
Code: Select all
var realTimeURL = "/public_html/Weather/realtimegauges.txt";
var imgPathURL = "/public_html/Weather/images/";
var oldGauges = "/public_html/Weather/gauges.htm";

Thanks guys, you were correct, I did not upload the new script, I though it was part of the web update batch. Uploaded the new script and we are goo. Thank you so much for your help and great work on the gauges.

Playing around with the ciolouring for inch rain gauges I uncovered a bug in the core SteelSeries library (exposed by a bug in gauges.js
).
So I have rushed out version 1.3.1, this also enables configuration of all the changes I talked about earlier for 1.3.0 at the top of the script.
1.3.1
* Updated the readme file
- With corrected remote file slashes, and details on configuring the standard Cumulus pages
to point to the new SS gauge page
* Updated steelseries.js to library version v0.9.6
- The inch rain gauge exposed a bug in the core library
* Updated gauges.js
- Made tick label orientation a globally configured item
- Made rain gauge colouring configurable from global variables at the top of the script
* Updated realtimegaugesT.txt
- Small changes for future consistency

It is 1.3.0 is working for me except for a small problem with the rainfail gauge. Intermittently does not display the LCD number. I am hoping 1.3.1 fixes this.

Mark,
v1.3.1 is now working for me, with 1 exception - Rainfall LCD is blank. v1.3.0 had the same problem?

Otherwise, it looks good.
Cheers,

I have had a look and I cannot see anything wrong/different that may be causing it.
I did notice that your PHP has dropped the hidden DIV towards the bottom of my sample page which forces the early download of the LCD font. The PHP also still includes the parseRealtime.js script that is no longer needed.

I assume v1.3.1 is working - all seems corrector except without rain the rain rate rainfall arn't proven in my page. I do see that the Rainfall gauge is showing the "Rainfall" (0.0) not in lcd type characters but the Rain Rate lcd characters do match the rest of the gauges. When I do a "ChangeLang() the characters then display in the correct style. So far I have failed to find the problem - perhaps a small hint.

I see the same issue on your page George, I'm pretty sure it is a font download timing thing. I
think doing the following may help with this...
Move the hidden div to preload the font to be the first thing in the body:
Code: Select all
<body onload="init()">
<!-- Hidden span to force early .ttf font download, required for web servers that do not serve .woff files -->
<span style="visibility:hidden; font-family:LCDMono2Ultra">Dummy</span>
Move all the scripts from the header to the end of the body or just after:
Code: Select all
</body>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/tween.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/language.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/steelseries.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/gauges.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/ddimgtooltip.min.js"></script>
</html>
Moving the scripts to the end may help with download blocking.
If someone with the problem could try this and report back...?

Thanks Mark,
Adding the hidden span fixed the rain LCD display problem.
One other 'trap for new players'...
If there is a carriage return character (0x0d) anywhere in the forecast string, the data download will fail, causing all gauges show no data, something that didn't occur before v1.3.0
This can occur if metar data is used, as each line output by mweather is terminated by a CR (0x0d).
For those interested, here's my updated metar.php script.

Thanks again.

Move the hidden div to preload the font to be the first thing in the body:
was all it took to display correctly on startup.

Thanks for the update Graeme. The <cr> thing is probably a consequence of switching to the JSON data format, thanks for providing a fix for your metar data.

Thanks for the update George, I'll amend my HTML for the next release.

I probably should have been stripping out the CR's anyway. This episode just got me to clean up the code a bit.

Thanks for the reply Steve, I knew I was doing something stupid. I notice now a helpful guide in v1.3.1
It appears to be working as it should.
Next step is setting the gauges on just 2 lines as I think it looks a lot tidier, but as I'm learning this as I go along it may take a while
Thanks again for all the hard work people put into this....
