Testtags V1.05 available (now V1.06)

Check out the new FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) board for a growing list of hints, tips and diagnostic suggestions.

Thanks to the kind permission of both Mike and Scott, I've combined all the tags required for the Printable Weather Flyer, Alternative Dashboard and High/Low/Average page into one testtags.txt .

I used this Perl program to spot any duplicated tags in the set, and remove them so your testtags.txt->testtags.php will be of smaller size, and WD will have less work to do the substitutions.  Don't know if the latter will make much difference, but a smaller-sized testtags.php will make for improved upload times (and maybe just a skosh improvement in page loads).

Here's the Perl script I used to generate the new testtags.txt file

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# purpose:  read testtags.txt file and spot duplicate tags
# Generate two output files:
#  testtags-commented.txt with each line with a duplicated tag commented out
#  testtags-nodupes.txt with duplicated tag lines omitted.

I've attached testtags-original (the 4 combined), testtags-commented (with the duplicated lines commented out), and finally
testtags.txt (the new 1.05V1.06 version with no duplicated tags).

I'll be adding that to the distributions tonight.

Best regards,
Ken

EDIT: updated with testtags.txt V1.06 to support Scott's Alternative Dashboard V4.00 release.

[ktrue]

Distributions now updated with V1.05 of testtags.txt

Best regards,

[JtwnPaWeather]

Just placed the new testtags in place now.

[MCHALLIS]

Thanks Ken 

[jahuff]

Thanks Ken, this makes it easy to update.

[HometownZone]

Thanks Ken!!  They work very well!

Scott

[Stronghurst]

Thank you

My high temp, UV etc. are not updating I'll have to look into this evening.

Rick

False alarm I just happened to be viewing just as the sun came out and was waffling on the temp and UV in between testtag updates.

Thanks Ken, they work a treat!

I wish the winds did not have decimal places.
I read somewhere that mph wind measurements usually do not need decimals.

$avgspd =  '4.5 mph';   // average wind speed (current)
$gstspd =  '3.0 mph';   // current/gust wind speed
$maxgst =  '11.0 mph';   // today's maximum wind speed
$maxgstt =  '12:39 PM';   // time this occurred
$maxgsthr =  '11.0 mph NNE';   // maximum gust last hour

Wonder why baro has .in instead of in.
$baro = '30.050 .in';  // current barometer
this one too...
$vpstormrain = '0.00 .in';           //Davis VP Storm rain value


Rain has in. and looks OK
$dayrn =  '0.00 in.';   // today's rain
$monthrn =  '0.00 in.';   // rain so far this month
$yearrn =  '0.00 in.';   // rain so far this year

Just out.. V1.06 of testtags.txt to support Scott's Alternative Dashboard V4.00.

Download a new distribution or just use the attached V1.06 testtags.txt to replace your existing one.

I've noticed those too, Mike -- it's why I tend to use strip_units(), then sprintf() to set the decimals I want, and use the $uom... strings in the dashboard/gizmo/Settings.php to make units displays uniform

Thanks for the updated 1.05 ken you are the man, and so are the others.
