At this stage, it is not possible (as far as I’m aware) to run the system on a local network.
However, uploading a text file uses very, very little data, so having the clientraw file upload in close to real time is definitely an option that many people use to get pretty much real time reporting.
Yeah, I’ve kind of gotten used to the near real time results although I still haven’t figured out how I’m getting them. I have FTP setup for 5 minutes and the control panel won’t let me uncheck the running my own server option so I guess some how that is going to the FTP which in reality it’s my server since it’s my domain just not housed on my computer. Love what you’ve done, it looks and works great!
Hi Yerren is the latest version that you made mention of on the 6th July the same version that is available for download on this site dated 29th June ???
Or is there a newer version to this 29th June file.
Use a simple webserver such as Mongoose to have JavaScript WDL on the local network. I have quickly tested this and it works for me. If your PC’s are behind a NAT router without port forwarding it should be relatively safe but try at your own risk, I have not spent more than a few minutes on this.
Copy the JavaScript WDL files into the same folder as the clientraw files.
Download the Mongoose Free Windows version executable into the same folder (you may have to move it there after download).
Click the Mongoose.exe to start it, you’ll get a windows popup, let it have access.
A browser window will open, direct it to localhost:8080/FreshWDLmaster.html - you should see JavaScript WDL working
On other PC’s on the network you should see JavaScript WDL at http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/FreshWDLmaster.html where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the server PC. (Obviously that PC should be assigned a fixed IP for this to be a workable system.)
I do not know how to do that? The HTML page is loaded with an ‘Include’ and I cannot put a iframe in that call. The FreshWDL.html is all script calls so I don’t know how to do iframe there?
Thanks that helped. I am able to scale it down. In the Saratoga templates there is a user selectable option for ‘wide’ or ‘narrow’ display. I was able to auto adjust for that like this:
<div id="main-copy">
<h1><?php langtrans('Fresh Weather Display Live'); ?></h1>
<?php
if($_SESSION['CSSwidescreen'] == 1) { ?>
<object data="FreshWDLmaster.html" width="1200" height="600" background="white"> <embed src="FreshWDLmaster.html" background="white"> </embed> Error: Embedded data could not be displayed. </object>
<?php
;} else { ?>
<object data="FreshWDLmaster.html" width="650" height="375" background="white"> <embed src="FreshWDLmaster.html" background="white"> </embed> Error: Embedded data could not be displayed. </object>
<?php
;} ?>
</div><!-- end main-copy -->
Not sure if its me or not, but today is the first day where we are getting nice warm temps and with the windchill and heat index gauge in auto mode, the heat index is not showing any different from the main temperature gauge. There is wind here which I would have thought that the heat index would show a diff temp to the main temp gauge ???
