The date format used on the computer and cumulus differs from yours so it's all about dd.mm.yyyy I think http://www.tiempoensevilla.es/CUtags.php?sce=dump

I see, but don't know where to do the right necessary changes?
Is there different 'tags' to try out?

nitrx wrote:You have to change the CU-defs.php


So the issue is the date format in $WX['date'] = '6.9.2011';
is the underlying cause. So... change your CU-defs.php from
Code:

Code: Select all

 $d = explode('/',$indate);
  if(!isset($d[2])) {$d = explode("-",$indate);}

to
Code:

Code: Select all

 $d = explode('/',$indate);
  if(!isset($d[2])) {$d = explode("-",$indate);}
  if(!isset($d[2])) {$d = explode(".",$indate);}

and that should fix the date issue. But Ken wrote he should it fix in the next update , I'm note sure if he did it...

Let me see if I can help about the dates issue.

Looking at http://www.torrevieja-weather.net/CUtags.php?sce=dump

shows

$WX['tempunit'] = '°C';
$WX['pressunit'] = 'mb';
$WX['rainunit'] = 'mm';
$WX['windunit'] = 'km/h';
$WX['windrununit'] = 'km';
$WX['date'] = '08.10.2011';
$WX['time'] = '21:55 on 08 oktober 2011';
$WX['timehhmmss'] = '21:55:01';
$WX['day'] = '08';
$WX['dayname'] = 'lørdag';
...
$WX['OsLanguage'] = 'Spanish';

The highlighted values are quite interesting. The Date is in dot-format (which is supported by both the current CU-defs.php and ajaxCUwx.js) without mods.

Looking further at http://www.torrevieja-weather.net/wxind ... w=settings

and a view-source shows

[monthNames] => Array
(
[0] => January
[1] => February
[2] => March
[3] => April
[4] => May
[5] => June
[6] => July
[7] => August
[8] => September
[9] => October
[10] => November
[11] => December
)

which means the dates used by Cumulus are expected to be in English, yet despite your OS setting of 'Spanish'
your dates are in Norwegian (month='oktober', dayname='lørdag').

Do you have Cumulus set to use Norwegian?

If so, then changing your Settings.php

Code: Select all

$SITE['monthNames'] = array(  // for wxastronomy page .. replace with month names in your language 
'January','February','March','April','May','June',
'July','August','September','October','November','December'
);

to the Norwegian (for your current setup)

Code: Select all

$SITE['monthNames'] = array(  // for wxastronomy page .. replace with month names in your language 
"Januar","Februar","Mars","April","Mai","Juni",
"Juli","August","September","Oktober","November","Desember"
);

will fix the current dates issue.

Or if you change Cumulus to use Spanish then use

Code: Select all

$SITE['monthNames'] = array(  // for wxastronomy page .. replace with month names in your language 
"Enero","Febrero","Marzo","Abril","Mayo","Junio",
"Julio","Agosto","Septiembre","Octubre","Noviembre","Diciembre"
);

The 'dot-format' date is handled correctly by the template set IF the native language of the CUtags.php dates
is set with the correct $SITE['monthNames'] array -- otherwise PHP can not interpret the month names correctly
and you end up with bad dates showing everywhere. I would recommend you change Cumulus to use Spanish and then use the Spanish version for your Settings.php $SITE['monthNames'] entry.

You also should change in Settings.php

Code: Select all

$SITE['lang'] = 'en';                // default language for website to use

to

Code: Select all

$SITE['lang'] = 'es';                // default language for website to use

so the default language to use is Spanish.

Hope this helps...

Looks like doing the $SITE['monthNames'] setting with Norwegian in it is working as the dates internally seem to be processed correctly

Now it appears you are missing a key thing in Settings-weather.php

Code: Select all

$SITE['WXsoftware']     = 'CU';

I would extract another copy of Settings-weather.php from the CU-plugin.zip, customize only the areas indicated in the docs, and upload it to your site to ensure all the proper stuff is in there. Missing that one $SITE entry will cause the template set to think you haven't installed a plugin yet, so suppress all the station-specific displays.
