Carterlake Plugin Page - Printable Weather Flyer

[SMills]

I'm a bit puzzled. My site is based on the Caterlake template like so many others. If I go to the Forecast menu item and hit print it looks just as good. So what's the problem here? I'm not trying to criticise - I'm trying to understand and learn something. 

Kind Regards

Might need to be a bit more specific on your issue. 

What exactly is not working properly?

Hi made my own here http://www.northantsweather.com/wx21.html
When clicked from the top menu it opens to a specific size, ok its not the
best but it works

OK, I just officially released this:

This version is all PHP and is easier to install and configure than the ones I sent out to a few who asked..

Thanks a lot, I will take a look at it as it does look more professional than mine

Thanks again Mike, will let you know tomorrow how it turns out

Question;

The forecast discussion paragraph (nice feature) is printing subsequent lines with no initial capitilization; Can this be changed? Also can "this discussion continues at www.642weather.com " be made an href in the $reports from section? I can't figure out a proper syntax.

Thanks,

Jack

I was not able to make the url a href because it will not print well. The css has a feature to show full url's when printing and it just looks bad if you add the href.

Version: 1.01 - 07-Feb-2009 added feature to uppercase first word of every sentance on the forecast discussion text

That worked, thanks Mike!

I just updated the zip because I added this quick fix:
fixed missing echo for $yrecordlowtempmonth and $yrecordhightempmonth

Cool. I see this growing into a new on=going project for you Mike. But it can only get better!

I am unable to get the following command to work

Code: [Select]

<b><?php $reports_from; ?></b>
Here is how I have it set.

Code: [Select]

// 'Reports from [station name] at [neighborhood]';
$reports_from = 'Reports from Chucks Weather Station at N Kendrick Ave., near Clay St.';
Any help would be great. Forgot to throw in the link.

You'll need to print or echo a PHP variable to get it to appear on the HTML page..

Use

Code: [Select]

<b><?php print $reports_from; ?></b> and it should work fine

Best regards,
Ken

That did the trick. I should have noticed that. It was like that when I downloaded it without the echo variable. Maybe Mike needs to be aware if the fix.

Chuck I put the fix in the current download.

Is there a similar script for Europe users?
