Cumulus PHP-GD Banner

[Sadgit]

Another way is to use .htaccess and mod_rewrite...

https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... ccess#p514

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^/?banner.png$ /banner.php [L]

Then the image tag points to what they like, a valid image url

Code: Select all

[img]http://cumulus.tnetweather.com/banner.png[/img]

What am I doing wrong here? I just cannot get it to work at all.. used .htaccess and mod_rewrite before onmy site so know they work... when I put http://weather.depravityarena.co.uk/banner.gif (modified the script for gif not pnp) I get page not found but http://weather.depravityarena.co.uk/banner.php works fine..

any ideas greatly appreciated

I have an account with hostgator, but I can't try it right now.

Will give it a shot as soon as I can though. I've had some "issues" with some of their configurations on somethings in the past.

[Sadgit]

ah cheers.. will give it another blast today to see if I have done something wrong

[Sadgit]

BINGO... sorted it. I needed the "RewriteEngine On" in my .htaccess file

just had a look at another .htaccess file I have for my forums

Don't know what happened to my banner: all of a sudden I get squares rather than centigrade "circles"
I am using TTF fonts. Re-uploaded fonts from Windows Vista fonts library, but no change.

Seems to be having issues with the Degree Symbol.

What happens if you change the line:

Code: Select all

// Print Temp
$text = ret_value("temp") . '°' . ret_value("tempunit");

to

Code: Select all

// Print Temp
$text = ret_value("temp") . '°' . ret_value("tempunit");

Thank you, Kevin. That seemed to cure the problem (for reasons beyond my understanding...)

Thanks, now it working here too...

For some reason my banner has stopped updating and the last error in my web error log is

[12-Jan-2009 19:12:21] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sadgit/public_html/weather/banner.php:337) in /home/sadgit/public_html/weather/banner.php on line 190

Anyone have a clue what has happened?


EDIT - Hmm looks like my realtime.txt hasn't updated since then.. Will have to wait till I get home for a butchers.

If I had brains I would be dangerous. For some reason 2 days ago I unticked the "enable realtime" check box...

Hmm. Maybe this calls for a couple of little LEDs that light when you have the standard auto update and realtime set? And you could click them to set and unset? Getting carried away now...

What might be useful for Cumulus 2 is to consider an led, flashing when ftp/realtime uploads are actually in progress.

I find that my webhost gets confused when I try to manually ftp something into a different directory, when Cumukus is doing it's stuff. Surprisingly, I have another auto ftp program running into yet another directory, which does not suffer the same sort of problems.
(Cumulus and it also work quite happily together uploading ostensibly at the same time)

I did think that as an extension of the LED idea, it could flash when an upload is in progress, yes. I'm not sure there's much point doing that for realtime uploads, though, the upload would be over before the LED had chance to flash. And there is the status bar already, of course.

You are refering to Cumulus status bar, what about minimised icon flash ?

You mean: make the icon flash during uploads? Could do, I suppose as an option. I'd find it annoying, personally.
