Custom Forecast Message

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?

I was unable to make cronftpreal to work.

I made a bash script then using curl.

it might have been a permissions problem
of the cronftpreal program
(i.e chaning the permissions of that might have been the solution using chmod)

I will check the permission status of cronftpreal and let you know.
