Custom Forecast Message

I tried to answer on your PM but that is a little ackward as I can not get a screenshot in the message.

The attached img is your Saratoga and Leuven templates displaying EXACT the same values and both turning green (new data received) at the expected intervals.

You can use my e-mail or this forum, but I reealy do not see what is wrong.

The word error means highest proirity on the support system (http://support.leuven-template.eu/) or in an e-mail, but I do not see an error yet.

Its the wind direction in the area of your screen shot that is not updating on Leuven. See how in Saratoga it is showing WSW as the direction on the dial and the text? Leuven is showing W. It isn’t updating. It is correct when the page loads, but those two items are not updating with the rest.

I’m sure its just a bug on my site, but I am not sure how to fix it. Those areas are updating on the Saratoga site, but not on the Leuven site. I’d like to run the Leuven site exclusively if we can fix that little problem.

OK, I have to be a bit more technical.
To get the data from WD to your website, one can use (in the Leuven-Template) for WD different input files for the data files.
Either Saratoga testtags.txt => testtags.php,
Leuven testtags.txt => testags.php (as used until release 2.6)
and tags.wd.txt => tagsWD.txt as used for release 2.7 , 2.8 and further.
The last possibillity is the advised and documented one. The other two are just for testing if a new release or a switch is possible.

You are using [b]http://weather.standardorbitap.com/weather28/index.php?tags&p=0000&pw=#data-area[/b] the Saratoga testtags.
I tried in the past to get most of the data from that file, but probably did not succedeed into getting all the data wanted.
I will look into finding the missing pieces from the Saratoga file.
And getting the winddirection move more frequently, but it is not a highest priority problem and certainly not an error.

When using the Saratoga testtags file, please switch off this page in the menu also. Those fields/values in the error messages are not there either. http://weather.standardorbitap.com/weather28/index.php?p=trends&lang=en#data-area

If you plan to use Saratoga, simply delete the weather28/ folder.

If you plan to use Leuven, please add the tags.wd.txt => tagsWD.txt to the upload of WD.
Life for me is far easier to find errors if they are there with the most recent upload files also.

I plan to use Leuven exclusively. I’ll delete Saratoga now and start switching Leuven as the only site and I’ll work on getting the settings as you need all set.

Thanks.

Niko,s idea would work
replacing that tag in the customclientrawlocal.txt file

Is it possible to use the Zambretti Forecast with consoleWD and have it in the customclientraw.txt instead of %vpforecasttext%?

I would like to have a weather forecast in my steelseries gauges scroll line.

Thank you for the support

Urs

yes, I could add that
which version?

That would be great!

I am running consoleWD (consolewd64desktop.tar.gz) and in the customclientraw.txt it says:

"version":"WD_console_18.0"

ah, OK, so this is the version for 64 bit linux desktop

Yes it is - but I am running it headless as consoleWD.

i have added the custom tag %zambretti% now to the latest update
ie so you replace %vpforecasttext% with that in the customclientrawlocal.txt file

I have installed it yesterday and it worked. I got a forecast message in my customclientrawlocal.txt file. However I did notice that there was something broken with the cronftpreal function.

I did then make a fresh install with the most recent version from today (i.e. Weather Display for Linux console 64 bit Linux desktop Version on 16 August 2019 - 01:40:07).

Now with this latest version (it says WD_console_18.0 in the customclientrawlocal.txt file). the ftp upload is working but the forecast is emtpy:

Any help to this?

not sure…so it was parsing that OK…but not its not?

With the most current version parsing is not ok - ftp is ok.

if you are looking for a Marquee you can try this http://discourse.weather-watch.com/p/529124 you can scroll anything you want between the divs.

With the most current version parsing is not ok - ftp is ok.
but I thought you said it was working..at one stage..the parsing?

Yes the parsing did work at one stage. But then I could only see it local because the ftp did not work. So I re-installed it later but then parsing did no longer work - but ftp does work again.

I did a fresh re-install. Did you upload a new version in between?

I cant explain what is happening
does not make much sense
I will test here though, tomorrow

I did a fresh re-install on another system (same hardware, same settings) and I can confirm:

  • the Zambretti weather forecast is working, i.e. the %zambretti% tag in the customclientrawlocal.txt is replaced by a forecast in the customclientraw.txt file.

  • upload is no longer working, there seems to be a problem with the cronftpreal upload.

Thank you again for your support.

Urs

so what is going on here?
maybe that fresh install , there is a different version of the cronftpreal program?
can you compare?
swap over the programs?
