If you did run it at first with weatherdisplay I think you've to add the requested files for cumulus (see cumulus specific files) and adjust the variables in Settings.php according to cumulus , I'm not sure about this because Ken is a master in this

well you can dowload from here http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/install.php choose World Template .ZIP and Cumulus .ZIP but you better read the instructions.

Thanks again, Ron...I'm almost there - just a few questions

1: Can't figure out why I got the wrong date & year?
2: on "wxforecast.php" the pictures wont show??
3: "Daily Stats" says: "Note: trends not available since weather station not yet specified".

Cheers,
Frank

1 I think you need dashes change the date format in Settings.php to

Code: Select all

$SITE['timeFormat'] = 'd-m-Y H:i';       // Euro format 31/03/2006 14:03
// $SITE['timeFormat'] = 'Y-m-d H:i';       // ISO  format 2006-03-31 14:03

// $SITE['timeOnlyFormat'] = 'g:ia';          // USA format h:mm[am|pm\
$SITE['timeOnlyFormat'] = 'H:i';          // Euro format hh:mm  (hh=00..23);
$SITE['dateOnlyFormat'] = 'd-m-Y';        // for 31-Mar-2008 or 'j/n/Y' for Euro format

Code: Select all

$SITE['WDdateMDY'] = false; // for weather software date format of month/day/year.  =false for day/month/year

2 you have upload the icons to the right directory, be sure you have a folder /cache it must be write-able use the command chmod 755 if that will not help use chmod 777

be sure to turn off wxsim forecast because you don't have this change Settings.php in

Code: Select all

$SITE['WXSIM']			= false;  // Set to false if you have not installed WXSIM

3 I'm not sure this is a feature for cumulus but did you upload Settings-weather.php <-- this is a specific file from the cumulus.zip

Hope this helps I'm going to sleep , otherwise I will try to look up tommorrow if you have further questions please specify your date format and time format in cumulus.

// $SITE['timeFormat'] = 'D, d-M-Y g:ia T';  // Day, 31-Mar-2006 6:35pm Tz  (USA Style)
// $SITE['timeFormat'] = 'm/d/Y g:ia';      // USA  format 03/31/2006 14:03
 $SITE['timeFormat'] = 'H:i d/m/Y';       // Euro format 31/03/2006 14:03
// $SITE['timeFormat'] = 'Y-m-d H:i';       // ISO  format 2006-03-31 14:03
 $SITE['WDdateMDY'] = false; // for weather software date format of month/day/year.  =false for day/month/year
// $SITE['timeOnlyFormat'] = 'g:ia';          // USA format h:mm[am|pm\
 $SITE['timeOnlyFormat'] = 'H:i';          // Euro format hh:mm  (hh=00..23);
 $SITE['dateOnlyFormat'] = 'd/m/Y';        // for 31-Mar-2008 or 'j/n/Y' for Euro format

Before downloading and trying to install the 'PHP/AJAX Website Template Set', Frank, did spend a few minutes reading (and trying to understand) the instructions which Ken True (the designer) spent a lot of time preparing for new users like you...

Just to confirm what Ron has already written, every files found inside the 'cumulus.ZIP' (including the 'Settings-weather.php' script) have to be included into the directory/folder where the 'World Template .ZIP' has been (should have been) extracted.

Before even trying to obtain some web page results (display), two files MUST be edited: 'Settings.php' and 'Settings-weather.php' - information on how those files should be edited can be found on the instructions web pages.

Which software are you using to produce the 'testtags.php' file you mentioned in your first messages - Cumulus certainly DOES NOT produce such a file - that file is only produced by Weather Display!

Unless you are using a special software, you cannot operate/run both Cumulus and Weather Display on the same computer at the same time - so, you have to choose which weather software you want to use.

You have two main weather pages on your server, one produce by Cumulus (index.htm) and one produce by Weather Display (wxindex.php).

For the Cumulus main page (index.htm) to display proprely, you MUST install all the files required - have a look at this well written guide to find out which files have to be uploaded and to which directory/folder ... you are missing one important file, the 'weatherstyle.css'...

Your other main page (wxindex.php) is displaying the wrong date format - more likely, because either your computer or Cumulus or some of the PHP scripts are not set properly to use the same date format.

Note: The latest and official release of Cumulus 1.9.2 (5th October 2011) is available from the Sandaysoft Downloads page - this is now the only supported release of Cumulus.
One last point: When you reply to a message, there is no need to quote the whole message - please, just quote the information to which you are replying.
