WXSIM "EWN-style"

runarbg · 22 February 2017 14:10

Henkka, I tried to run data.php directly and that gives the same messages. In addition it produced a lot of output. I include a screen shot.

Runar,
You need to get data.php output to be cleaned out of the notices => so only the JSON are there.
Check that error_reporting is set to 0 in both plaintext.php and lastret.php. If its so but they still shows up, then ask your provider why error_report(0); do no affect.

Zip updated.

Applied the moonphase-fix from hrvistaweather (let me know how it works ;))
Fix for graph rainscale when inch shown. Minrange set to 0.5 while its 5 for mm.
Fix for sun/moon-times when no *-set/rise
Fix for bft in tooltip when input-data other than m/s

Hennka,
Latest version working. Rain graph in inches is much better.
Only thing I see is in overview rain still isn’t right but rain on table is good.
You can see it here: http://www.shermanctweather.org/ewntest/wxsim/forecast.php
Thanks,
Tom

Henkka,

I have now downloaded your latest version and turned off error reporting. No change

When I only run data.php, what I get is what you see in the attached file.

data.txt (49 KB)

Henkka,

I have one issue and one question after installing the latest update. The issue I have is that the Barometer reading in the Table section shows “hPa” instead of “inHg” that I have defined in $uoms.

The question I have has is about the day/date in the carousel. Is there any way to change the format of the date? For example, Monday currently shows as “Monday 27.02”. I’d prefer this to read “Monday 2/27” or even “Monday, Feb 27”. Is it possible to provide this ability?

Thanks,

Steve

Henkka,

After a lot of tracing I see that it stops with json error 7 from json_encode. I really don’t know how to find out what causes it…

tornadochaser · 26 February 2017 12:49

Is anyone interested in fixed units (especially the wind)? I modified the script, so that it fits my needs now (also no possibility to change the units) . If Henkka doesn

tornadochaser · 28 February 2017 19:43

Possible bug?

With the new version Tom released today, data.php won

I loaded new version of Wxsim and my forecast still works.

I have tried finding out why it failes, but I’m not a json experst, so I’m afraid that I have to give up on this

Hi runarbg,
I would envisage that since the WXSIM upgrade something has changed in your wret.exe
Make sure all your settings are correct, I also noticed that you must not have UV checked in Wret.exe as UV is only displayed in your plaintext.txt on the Overview and not on the Tables which is obtained from Lastret.txt (ex wret.exe) I see many others in the same state…
Kind Regards,

runarbg,
Hmmm…what PHP-version do have in use?

Make sure all your settings are correct, I also noticed that you must not have UV checked in Wret.exe as UV is only displayed in your plaintext.txt on the Overview and not on the Tables which is obtained from Lastret.txt (ex wret.exe) I see many others in the same state..

The important in parsing lastret.txt are that the header-line are on “correct line”. The script looks up the needed variable-positions so extra variables in the data should not affect.

runarbg · 9 March 2017 10:52

It also does not work if I use the files that comes from Henkka with the program?

runarbg · 9 March 2017 10:54

I’m using V7.0

weatherbee · 9 March 2017 22:13

I had to go back to php Ver 5.6 from ver.7 to get it working.

I have just set this up and put it live on my weather site. Thanks Henkka for this. It is great!!

Very easy to set up and it works out of the box.

Hello Henkka,

I’ve tried to install your latest WXSIM script (which looks fabulous!!) on my weather site.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite work, for some reason only the Overview is populated but no forecast and no other tabs. At first I thought it was my data file, but it doesn’t work even with the original distribution. I’ve only changed the two paths in config.php to match my ISP:

$path_to_langfiles = “/home/REDACTED/celinmeteo.com/WXSIM_2017original/lang/”;
$path_to_lastret = “/home/REDACTED/celinmeteo.com/WXSIM_2017original/wxsim/lastret.txt”;

You can see the script live at http://www.celinmeteo.com/WXSIM_2017original/forecast.php

I would appreciate any help you can provide, thank you very much in advance,
Marian

Hi Marian

Just a comment. On the paths that you show, does it really contain the URL or a username.

I am not sure of the server of the setup that you have.

Here is mine.
/home/brantfordw/public_html/lastret.txt
My lastret file is in the root of the site.
