Alternative Dashboard Script Released (Ver 5.03 FINAL RELEASE)

[Burnsville Weather Live]

Minor update Version 5.03 is available.

I've added a couple minor things by request.  They are a path statement in the config for websearchout.txt when used with the AQI section and I have moved the footnotes to the config so if there are any updates you don't have to re-edit them anymore.  (Should have seen that one long ago!).  This minor update is now available on my site as usual.  

http://www.websterweatherlive.com/wxScripts.php

If you are upgrading from 5.02 just replace the ajax-dashboard.php and altdashboardconfig.php and re-edit the config
If you are upgrading from 5.01 in addition to the above, add in the new test tag for %dayornight%
If you are upgrading from 5.00 in addition to above, add in the unknown icon for AQI

Remember, version 5.00 and above REQUIRES the new version of ajaxWDwx.js (Currently version 9.11).  If you aren't using that, you should stick with my dashboard version 4.2x which still uses the old version.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the continual updates to your script.

I believe you mentioned a while ago that you placed...

Code: [Select]

function langtransstr($word) {
   return $word;
}

function langtrans($word) {
   echo $word;
}
in you footer.php. Would you please tell us how you added it?
Thanks,
Dennis

PS; I have AQI working on my site also.

I have it added to the bottom of my ajax-dashboard.php file. 

Code: [Select]

function getMoonAge() {
   $mooninfo = getMoonInfo();
   return $mooninfo->age;
}
function getMoonPic() {
   $mooninfo = getMoonInfo();
   return $mooninfo->pic;
}
function getMoonIll() {
   $mooninfo = getMoonInfo();
   return $mooninfo->ill;
}
function getMoonPhase() {
   $mooninfo = getMoonInfo();
   return $mooninfo->phase;
}
function langtransstr($word) {
   return $word;
}
function langtrans($word) {
   echo $word;
}
// end of functions
//=========================================================================

Scott,

Thank You soooo much.

-------------------
James,

Thanks, that's how I have been doing it also. But I would prefer a solution other than editing the ajax-dashboard.php  each time Scott creates an update. Now that Scott has added the config file, there shod be no reason to ever edit ajax-dashboard.php.

Hi guys.

I need some help. I have version 4.x running, and except for the uv icon never changing from '0 Low' it works great. I can't get 5 to run at all. I have everything in the proper place, updated correctly, but when my page  loads all I get is the header and menu, the body is totally blank. Any ideas on where I screwed up?

I have a test version here: http://www.whittier-weather.com/test/wxindex.php

I might be missing something but I don't see you ever call the ajax-dashboard.php script in the code!

Scott,

Thank You soooo much.

Welcome, glad I could help.  Hopefully though the bugs are worked out now and there will be no need for updates.

That's the same file I use on my real weather page, just not renamed to index.php! If I copy 4.0 into the test directory, it works, put 5.x in there, and it does not.

Do you have the config file in the same directory?

Scott

[Jeep]

Yes, as is ajaxwdwx,js, ajaxwdwx-settings.js. if fact, it's a whole 2nd installation in the test directory. I copied everything there when i could not get it to work in the root.

What about AltAjaxDashboardConfig.php?

[K3JAE]

Maybe it is me but I cannot get the AQI to work. I am having no luck finding an easy page where the AQI is shown as in the instruction.

Is anyone able to assist me here?

My zipcode is 15401 if that helps any. I prefer NOT to have Pittsburgh's AQI since it is considerably further north and would never be accurate for me.

What about AltAjaxDashboardConfig.php?

Yes, it's there too.

[tstorm]

Yes, it's there too.

When you do a validation of wxindex.php there are 12 errors.  If you clean up these errors maybe you will have better luck.

That is part of the problem with AQI, it is mainly the government that measures it and they don't do it in a lot of places.  That may be the only place in your area that it's measured.  I did a quick search and didn't see any closer options for you either.

OK, if that be the case then can you or someone assist me in setting this up?  I cannot get the WD set up correct evidently.
