Thanks for the prompt replies.
Being a real novice I will study the intallation guide above carefully and give it go next week when I have a few days off.

I,ve made a start with making the changes to the settings.php, flyout menu.xml etc etc verything is working ok except nothing is showing on the home page, all the other pages work fine. Help please

[MCHALLIS]

There is a php error somewhere in the code for that page or in one of the included scripts.
You have show php errors turned off, try adding this code to Settings.php just after the opening <?php

Then I might be able to tell you what is causing the error.

Code: [Select]

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);


[magical46]

Ok I've added that code.

I think I may have got confused with steps 6 and 7

Edit ajax-gizmo.php and check the setting:

Code:
$imagesDir = './ajax-images/';
  * make it a FULL URL, like this:

Code:
    $imagesDir = 'http://www.yoursite.com/ajax-images/'; // end with slash
Edit ajaxWDwx.js and check the setting:

Code:
var imagedir = './ajax-images';
  * make it a FULL URL, like this:

Code:
    var imagedir = 'http://www.yoursite.com/ajax-images'; // no slash on end
-------
Step 7)
-------

Edit ajaxWDwx.js and check the setting:


Code:
var imagedir = './clientraw.txt';  * make it a FULL URL, like this:


Code:
    var imagedir = 'http://www.yoursite.com/clientraw.txt'; // no slash on end

They seem to be telling me to amend the same line to two different things

Oh No
I just made a change to the time zone settings to try and get the right timezone for whos online, now I can get nothing at all on my website, maybe trying to do too much at once.

Heres a copy of my settings php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

I am getting CSS errors after upgrading wordpress. Here is the link.

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chucksweather.com%2Findex.php#errors

Plus on my blog page my advisories on my menu bar show the number instead of the word such as advisory, warning. It is showing 1. That is the only page that it effects.

Oh No
I just made a change to the time zone settings to try and get the right timezone for whos online, now I can get nothing at all on my website, maybe trying to do too much at once.

Here is a fixed Settings.php for you:
see attached

You had some code missing near the bottom and one slash was causing a syntax error.

[MCHALLIS]

Chuck,

That css problem is fixed in the current version of the templates:

download: http://www.642weather.com/weather/scripts/css-theme-switcher.zip
     replace the one css file (weather-screen-black-wide.css) from this zip file to your server where your weather site template is

Excellent, Many thaks for that.

Still got the original problem on the home page

I,ve made a start with making the changes to the settings.php, flyout menu.xml etc etc verything is working ok except nothing is showing on the home page, all the other pages work fine. Help please

The code you suggested is now there

There is a php error somewhere in the code for that page or in one of the included scripts.
You have show php errors turned off, try adding this code to Settings.php just after the opening <?php

Then I might be able to tell you what is causing the error.


Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Once again thank you
Phil

[MCHALLIS]

Phil, I will PM you my email, send me your index.php I will look at the code.

[magical46]

Index.php sent to your e mail

Thank you

[andro700]

Still have to find the issue with my advisories. Maybe I will get with mth (Michael) and see if he knows.

Chuck

[magical46]

I still have no data showing on my index page. I had got as far as step 7 in the installation instructions, although step 7 seems to contradict some of step 6.

Step 6

Edit ajaxWDwx.js and check the setting:

Code:
var imagedir = './ajax-images';
  * make it a FULL URL, like this:

Code:
    var imagedir = 'http://www.yoursite.com/ajax-images'; // no slash on end

Step 7

Edit ajaxWDwx.js and check the setting:


Code:
var imagedir = './clientraw.txt';  * make it a FULL URL, like this:


Code:
    var imagedir = 'http://www.yoursite.com/clientraw.txt'; // no slash on end

 There was a problem with my settings.php but mike has kindly sorted that out for me. The flyout menu is working fine and all the other pages are working fine. Could the problem be with the changes to the ajax-gizmo.php or the ajaxWDwx.js file. I am a novice at this and have tried to follow the instructions virtually character by character. I have the Wordpress files on my computer but haven't got to the stage of uploading them to the website yet.

Phl

[MCHALLIS]

I updated step 7 in the instructions and I fixed Phil's site.

ajax-gizmo.php had a conflict with ajax-dashboard.php because the gen_difference function was being declared twice.
You were several months behind in updates to the world-ml template. This bug must have been fixed by Ken sometime since you installed your template.

If you go here, you will see the Version History.
http://saratoga-weather.org/template/index.php
It would be a good idea for anybody to keep up-to-date with the template changes.

[magical46]

Excellent work Mike many thanks for the time and effort I wouldn't have had a clue!

Now to get on with the wordpress installation

Phil
