I need some guidance there

Could someone look at this, I am having errors and I don’t see them. I am wanting to redo my huge website after 16 years. http://www.desmoinesweather.org/weather27/ . I have driven the Leuven-Template Support Team bonkers all day with this. They say I am missing a file, but when I go and give it a look, it is there…

http://www.desmoinesweather.org/weather27/_my_texts/
http://www.desmoinesweather.org/weather27/_myscripts/

"THe error message is clear.
I already answered that in the first mail


If you are sure the file is there then you should also check that you have the permissions set properly, it could be that the script cannot read the file. Make sure this is also correct.

would you to that page of mine and look at it. The file is where it is supposed to be. I spent all night loading file by file to be sure things are there.

update, that has to to with lightining, I am going back and see if I can eliminate it.

For a start, the first error on the page says it can’t find http://www.desmoinesweather.org/weather27/_my_scripts/set_links.php - which is true, but looking at the screen shot your folder is “_myscripts”, not “_my_scripts” - don’t know how much that will fix but it’s definitely an issue.

Well that surely is an issue! :smiley:

the folder name is wrong.
_my_texts. is the name, not _mytexts as in the screenshot.

Please upload the complete weather27 folder including all of the sub folders in 1 go.

You can even upload the zip to the root and then use the file manager to unzip.
That way you are sure that there are no typing errors.

Oh what a brilliant man, thou art, Niko. That was the problem. Yee Haw. I needed to have another pair of eyes.

That was the problem, the folder was wrong. I renamed it and it worked fine. Now to edit the things in the menu and we shall fly. Is there any guidance on that?

I see there are some more errors (the hazards of not taking programming seriously in school as a kid.)
Notice: Undefined index: wcloud in /home3/weathera/public_html/weather27/_my_texts/partners.php on line 81

Notice: Undefined index: wowID in /home3/weathera/public_html/weather27/_my_texts/partners.php on line 109

Notice: Undefined index: mesoLink in /home3/weathera/public_html/weather27/_my_texts/partners.php on line 143

Notice: Undefined index: awekasID in /home3/weathera/public_html/weather27/_my_texts/partners.php on line 151

Hmmmm

Do not comment out or remove lines from the settings files. Do as instructed in the WiKi.
The description for setting those partner ID’s as Awekas, WOW are in the WiKi at
http://wiki.leuven-template.eu/doku.php?id=en:check_these_also#other_companies_to_which_you_can_upload_your_data_to

If I check your settings for at line 429-438 in your setttings-file:
http://www.desmoinesweather.org/weather27/index.php?settings&p=0000&pw=#data-area
you inserted a comment mark so the line is ignored, you should have set it to false as a value.

The scripts want to check if they have to display your awekas, weathercloud (and the others) information or not. They check the setting,
$SITE[‘awekasID’]
They check if it contains a value (your ID) or is set to false (= you are not a member).
But the setting $SITE[‘awekasID’] is gone (caused that # on the first position). So an error is raised.

The wiKi explains http://wiki.leuven-template.eu/doku.php?id=en:php

  1. the use of a selection by commenting out using a #
    or
  2. by using a value for an ID or false.

===

I explained multiple times in our previous 14 mails that you should go step-by-step.

Make one or two changes in the settings folowing the detailed WiKi and then => test.

If OK => proceed to the next group of settings.

If an error occurs => you know what caused the error.

Please believe me that is the fastest way to implement.

I am sorry I am so dense at this.

@aardvark

You should also check the updates for the template. An example: the new multi-NWS-NOAA logo’s.

There is a support-site with a list of updates at: http://support.leuven-template.eu/problems27.php?lang=en

Finally it is right.
Now to go back to the wiki and see about what else I can screw up.

I feel sympathetic to you Wim…

Aadvark:
trust Wim, the best thing to do is go step by step, his wiki is excellent and you would save not just his time, but also yours, trust me. If you just try to rush and get everything done without reading properly how to proceed then you spend more time posting here and then waiting for a reply. And it is also usually easier to set up things then to fix them.

You guys are not being fair on this. I do read line by line. I read and I just don’t get it. I can read, my god, I have a bachelor of science in chemistry and a master of science in education. I am very literate and I do read. The instructions are not clear enough for me. Right now I am just trying to ask questions of all the scripts that are not mentioned. I guess I am expecting a little"Iowa Friendly" and you guys are not from these parts.

Move wdlconfig.xml (copy) from the path to /weather27/ folder.

No-one is blaming you of anything and I never doubted your education. But all I said is that I think you are trying to do everything too quickly and then you do mistakes which anyone would do in such rush - such as for example the fact you miss that you accidantely wrongly capitalized folder name etc.

With regards to Wim

There is a folder (in the weather27 root) called wdl. In there you will find a config xml file.

I thank you for this information. When I went to college back in 1971, we had to take a class in programming. all we did was key punch cards. we sort of looked at basic, but that was it.
I am literate, but not in scripts, programming or web site design. There are a lot of things I just don’t know. Going back to college and compete with a kid who is 18 -20, isn’t going to work for me at 68.

I ask a lot of questions and those who help me, I am most appreciative. Thank you and all who have helped me.
