Radar images in Carter Lakes template

I am slowly getting my site up. Had to leave Firefox and make changes in IE. Anyhow I want to get the radar set up. How do I find out what the download code is for our local radar site–Sacramento Ca?

Thank you.

Sacramento – http://radar.wrh.noaa.gov/radar/images/DS.p37cr/SI.kdax/latest.gif

or

Beale AFB – http://radar.wrh.noaa.gov/radar/images/DS.p37cr/SI.kbbx/latest.gif

The code itself has comments with the radar images…

I’m thinking the one in red.

Here’s another radar display I use on my site, it’s a long URL to just the image animated and with lightning:

http://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=DAX&brand=wui&num=6&delay=15&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=1.000&noclutter=1&t=1131758775&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&showstorms=0&map.x=400&map.y=240&centerx=400&centery=240&transx=0&transy=0&showlabels=1&severe=0&rainsnow=1&lightning=1"

You can also zoom one of these for your location, here’s an example of that:

http://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=DAX&brand=wui&num=6&delay=15&type=N0R&frame=0&scale=0.230&noclutter=1&t=1131758972&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&showstorms=0&map.x=400&map.y=240&centerx=240&centery=647&transx=-160&transy=407&showlabels=1&severe=0&rainsnow=1&lightning=1"

Shorty how about this:
http://radblast.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/radar/WUNIDS_map?station=BBX&brand=wui&num=6&delay=60&type=N1R&frame=0&scale=1.000&noclutter=0&showstorms=0&map.x=400&map.y=240&centerx=400&centery=240&transx=0&transy=0&showlabels=1&severe=01138836463&lightning=1

That your neck of the woods?

Right. I’ve pasted it in and it seems to work while I am editing in FrontPage, and I saved the file, however it is not showing up on my site yet. I’ll keep fussing with it. One of these days I’ll figure out some of this stuff Thanks.

Shorty did you upload the modified file?

What is the URL where it is supposed to be?

-Bob

I’ll upload it now—

Here is a copy of the past result:

I’ll go back and delete all those &nbsp codes. I don’t know where they came from or what they mean.

It looks like I need to get a password-

Well, you can certainly use FrontPage but keep in mind that it evilly changes the template to it’s own ends. I recommend people edit the template with a simple text editor like Notepad. You can then use WD to upload the files (or some other FTP program).

Basic editing of the template is really very simple (in Notepad).

Thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering why these wierd changes occured!

Shorty

Just a heads up, if you use the URL’s I posted you use http and not ftp to get the images for use in WD. Then use ftp to get the images to your webserver.

Ok, I plan on copying them and paste them into the file. Then upload them using the WD upload routine. Is that OK?

Not sure if you’re talking to me or not…anyways, the url’s I posted would be put into one of the WD http download setup screens so that WD gets the image. You then use the WD ftp setup to tell WD to ftp the images to your site. And finally, you would need to add the code to your wxlocal.html file to show the image on your website.

Here’s an example page showing how I display the images. Take a look at the source to see how the code is used to point to the image that is already on your webserver. http://weather.dcrooks.net/wx3.html

Thank you, thank you–it works :smiley: I had to update both wxlocal.html and index html ; plus wxlocal3.html and wx3.html.

I really appreciate all your help! :slight_smile:

WOW, That is a very impressive web site Dan. Some day mabe I will get one like that.
Chuck

Thanks Chuck. That page is something I put together so when there is nasty weather I have all the warnings and radar pixs available on one page.

Glad I was able to help Shorty.
