Neat and so easy to implement worked first time.
Particularly loved that it was all contained in a sub dir, my website root is getting somewhat crowded.

Not sure what is supposed to be showing but I think it’s the moon icon maybe?? I have converted everything to US measurements but not sure why the moon icon is not showing correctly…out of time for today…will have to work on this more later.

[s]

I did change to this

	var updates = 20;
	var timeout = 2; // In sec

But still no update in real time, I want to have updating every 2 or 3 second, is this possible?

F5 and then it works :oops:

I have been attempting to make the wind conversion from m/s to km/h, using the conversions from this page:

http://www.4wx.com/wxcalc/formulas/windConversion.php

I have had no success, may I have some help, please?

62

Try change line 68 in the jquery.console.js file

var crwspd = (cr[1] * 0.514444).toFixed(1);

to

var crwspd = (cr[1] * 1.85325).toFixed(1);

and “m/s” to “km/h” in line 91 in the vp_console2.php.

I guess that will do the trick?

63

Attached is a zip file that contains vp_console2.php and jquery.console.js that contain the changes I made to produce the readings for wind in mph, temp in F, rain in inches, and barometer inHg.

[size=100][color=red][b]ADD: I have replaced the attachment as it contained the wrong formula for the barometer. Anyone who already downloaded the archive please change the forumla for the barometer in the jquery.console.js file to:

var crbaro = (cr[6] * 0.0295317).toFixed(2);

Is there a idiots guide I wish to have mph, C. mm and mb?

65

…and everybody else in the UK probably :slight_smile: :wink: :roll:

Thanks ocl, thanks Dan :slight_smile: Now, my forecast icon is always stuck on cloudy, and I have no moon icon, how do I get them to display properly?

First edit vp_console2.php: line 91 - m/s -> mph line 103 - hPa -> mb mm and C is there already.

1 hPa = 1 mb - so thats ok.
We have to change the windreading to show mph.
Edit line 68 in the jquery.console.js file

var crwspd = (cr[1] * 0.514444).toFixed(1);

to

var crwspd = (cr[1] * 1.15155).toFixed(1);

Many thanks ocl… :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance

Anybody interested in finishing this? → http://travelingrvwx.com/vue_console.php

I just don’t have much time to devote to the project and it needs a lot more added…shouldn’t be hard, just need time…

72

If you also want to show seconds in the clock, change this line of jquery.console.js to this

var cu = cr[29]+':'+cr[30]+':'+cr[31]+'    '+cr[35]+'.'+mo;

Look at my page

Can anyone tell me what to do to get graph and wind direction working in IE works ok in firefox.

Thanks

74

There is one more file in the latest zip, i think. You have to upload that file also…
I’m at work so cant tell you the filename…

Back at home now…
The missing file in the first zip is called excanvas.pack.js and have to be uploaded to the jquery folder on the server to get the VP console to work in IE.

75

Hi ocl

I have excanvas.pack.js in the jquery folder but still no graph and wind direction

Hi
I’ve looked at your site and both graph and wind direction works in IE 8.
Maybe the problem is some of the security settings in your browser?

Yes, same here. Looks good in IE8.
