NWS Five Day Forecast Failing

Tried to search for the topic here and didn’t see this brought up? A person viewing my site just noticed the NWS 5 day forecast section, was missing. Now it says “NWS Weather Forecast - Outlook &”
My site has some information for one day and Chris who helps me out has nothing in his similar area of the page.

You can see the issue at http://weatherriorancho.com/

Sorry if I missed a previous discussion on this issue.

Thanks,
Lew

Yesterday, the NWS site forecast.weather.gov and www.weather.gov switched to https only.

Your advforecast2.php script V4.00 - 06-Jul-2015 will no longer work as it is http only.

Update to either advforecast2.php V4.03 (page scraper version) or V5.05 (JSON version) to fix the issue.

I don’t see the check-fetch-times.php utility on your site … using it with ?show=versions would show you what scripts need updates.

Download a copy from here then it will show you what updates you need.

Hi Ken, so happy to hear from you…

Since I am running the Burnsville version, will any of these updates affect what I am running other than the one you said I really need? Speaking of which, is there a somewhat easy want to get back to the “True” version as I haven’t seen an update in years and his own site isn’t even up?

The list of outdated files is huge…

The only two I’d worry about are ajax-dashboard.php and ajaxWDwx.js on your site.

I’d suggest you copy them ajax-dashboard.php → ajax-dashboard6.php and ajaxWDwx.js → ajaxWDwx3.js and upload those files to your site.

Then change Settings-weather.php to have

$SITE['ajaxScript']     = 'ajaxWDwx3.js';  // for AJAX enabled display

and

$SITE['ajaxDashboard'] = './ajax-dashboard6.php';

and upload your Settings-weather.php file.
That sets your site up to be ready to replace ajax-dashboard.php and ajaxWDwx.js with the stock versions while you continue to run the Burnsville versions without update interference.

The rest of the updates are all recommended to install and have been tested up to PHP 7.2 (which I’m currently running).

You are so awesome…thanks for the detailed explanation and everything I need to do. I need a few minutes of time and I have to screw my courage to the wall, and give it a shot. I haven’t heard back from Chris who has the same issue.

Thanks somuch! :smiley:
