Error displaying NOAA report

[grottem]

Have discovered that the NOAA report shows data in a strange way (http://grottem.com/ver/noaa/noaa.html). Note the data between 07 and 12 March.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this happens?

[beteljuice]

The only thing that stands out to me is the compass.
eg. NØ - which is displayed as N*

This is a limitation of using the JavaScript (Ajax) 'viewer'.

Good morning - and thanks for the reply
Noaa report is generated by Cumulus, but is there any chance that the report can be generated without national language set?

[beteljuice]

In the JavaScript (noaarep.js) file, look for function betelLoader
and AFTER // END nasty work around
Try ADDING:

Code: Select all

		repdat = repdat.replace(/*/g , "ø");

This should replace any and ALL instances of * with Ø

[grottem]

Tried this, but it was not shown any data at all (looking for data ???????)
Have corrected strings.ini (Cumulus) and returned to the English term for wind
Thank you for making me aware of what triggered the error

[beteljuice]

Ah ... I forgot to treat * as a 'special char'

This WILL work:

Code: Select all

// END nasty work around
repdat = repdat.replace(/\*/ , "ø");

[grottem]

Nope, it did not work (still an error)

The .txt files are being server from Apache without any charset defined, so I *think* that defaults to ANSI?

On my web server I have told it to serve .txt (text/plain) as windows-1252 on the assumption that is what Cumulus produces.

Would adding a .htaccess file in the reports folder fix the problem?

Code: Select all

AddCharset windows-1252 .txt

OK - the beteljuice has been playing .......

First of all my eyesight is worse than I thought, I've been mistaking a degree symbol for an asterisk, not only that but the replacement character I was proposing was lower-case and not capital.

But the confusion is not totally of my own making ....
Your report page is unusually located in the same directory as the reports themselves, as is the controlling js file and the css file - luckily the script copes with this (Pat myself on the back).

Sort of OK, in your html page you are using server absolute pathes (ie, /thisthing)
So first of all let's get your page styled to the rest of your site.
In your noaa.html change:

Code: Select all

<link href="weatherstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

To:

Code: Select all

<link href="/ver/weatherstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Huge improvement
Next - change:

Code: Select all

reportDir = "../noaa/" // The relative path to your reports DIRECTORY (no trailing / )

To:

Code: Select all

reportDir = "./" // The relative path to your reports DIRECTORY (no trailing / )
// OR
reportDir = "../noaa" // The relative path to your reports DIRECTORY (no trailing / )

OK - that should be the report html done.

Now the noaarep.js ....
Much more interesting because the degree symbol is both valid and required in three places before the directions are encounted I've had to create a bit of dodgy code just for your alphabet (It would be much better if you used the php version).

Try this:

noaarep.zip

Good morning
It corrected the national character, but as you see data for 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 14 is shown in the wrong way!?
Thank beteljuice for put so much work into this!

[beteljuice]

You haven't changed anything

Or is it now in a different place ?

[grottem]

Do not understand this, I have made ​​changes and uploaded with Filezilla.
I can see on my work pc that it has changed to Ø!?

[beteljuice]

OK - It was a cache issue.

Looks good to me - what is the problem - are the directions wrong ?

[grottem]

It does not appear lik your image in IE!!!
I have not figured out how to attach the screen display

[beteljuice]

Aha - that is a whole new argument

See the first few posts here: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 2&start=56

... and change to the php version if you can
