First of all, your idea to substitue another text string for a missing forecast seems a good idea.
1. Your Saratoga-Template
You are using the Steelseries at http://weather.standardorbitap.com/wxssgauges.php.
WD is uploading the realtime data for this gauges in the file:[b]http://weather.standardorbitap.com/customclientraw.txt[/b]
That data is only stored on your website disk, before it is loaded from the browser javascripts displaying the gauges.
All conversion of the data is done in the browser so there is no way to add extra texts as it would involve customizing other scripts.
You could ask Brian (the creator of WeatherDisplay) if it is possible to substitute a text string when there is no Davis forecast in the customclientraw.
Or even better to make an option one could switch on or off to use ones own string. I think for special holidays it could be used also.
- Your Leuven-Template
You are using the Steelseries at http://weather.standardorbitap.com/weather28/index.php?p=gaugePage&lang=en and also a subset of the gauges in the headers on every page.
The data for these dials comes from WD standard realtime files http://weather.standardorbitap.com/clientraw.txt which are used for all realtime displays in the Leuven-Template.
The clientraw data is also stored on your website but it is processed before sent to the browser / javascript. The data is converted to the requested format and units on the webserver and that is why there is no empty lcd but a lcd with a substitued message in it: “Data will be reloaded in”.
Some users changed that “Data will be reloaded in” to their own strings, even including texts such as current weather values and trends.
But one needs more than casual PHP program knowledge to do that.
What I will do is include an option to use ones own text string in combination with the forecast text (which can be empty). But as it is evening already her in the CET timezone, I will write and test it tomorrow.
If you PM or mail me your e-mail address I will e-mail you the changed scripts end of Sunday.

P.S. Nice idea which will be available to all in the 2.9 release June next year also.
