HWS-template (WD34) beta test topic

The Current Conditions block uses the 1 hour forecast from DarkSky.
That forecast is not reloaded in every language.
I will check when I have normal access again.

I see what you mean: it happens here in production, too. If I select Dutch the DS cloud cover line remains in English.

Sorry.

and

Reply #52: Moon set [times] getting a little confusing. . . in production here and Gelderland beta.

Any thoughts yet, Wim?

Beta is working great for me. One issue I have. Time is displayed in 24hr format despite being set for 12hr format.

Thanks for the great work Wim.

That is a good catch! Never considered that one.
But it is a bit more difficult one to solve at once. Needs some testing. And probably there should be a comma between the day and year also?

Need to postpone to the next beta and will be included officially in the July release.
Please add all other wishes for extensions you may have to this topic: *** closed*** HWS Template (WD34) Wish List

Didn’t need a comma in the previous version. . . why the change?

The comma seems to be needed for the US version of the date
See here:

Month Day, Year
April 25, 2019

In the rest of the world it seems to be
Day Month Year
25 April 2019

I was of the grid all March, still not 100% OK.

Attached a new version to test, stupid error removed :oops:
There will always be a few minutes difference.
The moon-popup calculates the difference between the different periods => light-dark-light-dark
The sun-block is about this 24 hours day, it calculates => darkness = 24-hours minus todays light.

Hope you feel better soon :slight_smile:

Attached a new version to test

Is this OK for the first production release?

For the latest pwsWD and pwsTEST versions.
But as always, make a copy of the “old” script first

Wim

Latest sun_block.php looks good in pwsWD. Thanks, Wim.

Hi!
Have the translat for Norwegian, can this be in the next update.

Sorry to hear that :frowning: Take it easy Wim.

I was quite surprised to see the variation worldwide when a reference to [mathematical] Pi Day on 14 March went right over my head. Here in UK we write the date 14.3, not 3.14 :?

One thing is certain: if you put it in ISO date format nobody will know what you mean :smiley:

I have been running the April beta for about a week and am ready to report issues I have found that have not been discussed previously in this topic(two of my issues have been discussed).

I am in Cleveland Ohio, USA. The NOAA alerts are for locations far from me. Are all NOAA alerts being shown? I think the alerts should only be for the site’s location.

There is no flag for the USA. For a good while, the British flag was being used and now it is the Canadian flag. I have selected flag for your country.

This is a really nice template and easy to use.

Thanks very much.

Bill

The standard curly/nws scripts are used as downloaded from KenTrue/Saratoga.
I did not modify anything. You do not have to modify the scripts either. You should only set the areas you want the warnings
http://wd34.weather-template.com/beta.php =>
For users from the USA, you have to modify your Curly/NWS weatherwarnings in the pwsTEST/nws-alerts-142/ folder

There is no flag for the USA. For a good while, the British flag was being used and now it is the Canadian flag. I have selected flag for your country. . . . shortened . . . Bill
Yes, that is valid for more countries. Belgium has three languages french/dutch/german and another flag. This has been discussed already, somewhere #-o 1. Just select "your country" as your flag as you did 2. Rename the flag of your country(us.svg) to xx.svg

I’m very new to this, so my comment may be based on a misunderstanding.
The Options for top row 4 modules give for rainfall year-month, figures of zero for both. The graphics when pressing the buttons below Rainfall Today do show rainfall. This does not change wherever I place rainfall year - month.
Overall this is an elegant and the WU data seems to be working well.
I’m disappointed that the temperature is displayed a degrees C integer, but that comes from the IBM API. Even using the degrees F integer and converting it would give a 10% to 40% improvement for me at his time of year, when the temperature hovers near 0C.

Could you please give the link / URL to your website?
It is very difficult to answer without seeing what you describe. Also I always need to check the html.

Wim

I’ve added my website to my profile. It is an https website. I hope what you see is adequate.
https://amilne.co.uk/CoveBayWeather/
For interest only I add the degC and degF plots for today from my WU accounthttps://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IABERD1/graph/2019-04-4/2019-04-4/daily
and the images are at https://amilne.co.uk/temperature/Index.html
which seem to look different simply becuse of the temperature scale chosen.

For the WU-only version there is no yearly rainfall available as it is not contained in the WU-API-data.
So to fill the top-row I myself use the demo without that block https://www.weerstation-herent.be/pwsWU/index.php

… The graphics when pressing the buttons below Rainfall Today do show rainfall.
The graphics use your measurements from a .csv file, useful for making the graphs but not used for realtime data.
… I’m disappointed that the temperature is displayed a degrees C integer, but that comes from the IBM API.
Correct, most WU-API-data is in integer

Thank you for testing and all remarks are welcome.
The next release will contain extra blocks for the top-row including a new small rainfall block.
That will replace the current large rainfall block which is not suited for use with the WU-API-data.
