Need help....

Great start :smiley:

The images should be in http://www.cedarridgewx.com/forecast/images/ but I’m not finding them there so I suggest you try uploading them again.

It pauses after a number of updates defined in this file http://www.cedarridgewx.com/ajaxWDwx.js

You can set it to unlimited updates by editing this section of the file:

var maxupdates = 12;	         // Maxium Number of updates allowed (set to zero for unlimited)
                             // maxupdates * reloadTime / 1000 = number of seconds to update

Thank Niko.
I managed to change to unlimited…
Its now update devery 30 sec, and then every 20 sec, then 30, 20…etc…
How do I set it to update every 10 sec constantly?

On the images…they are in that folder. I see them on the FTP

I just re-uploaded them all to forecast/images folder…
The interesting part is that there are two images that do appear on the site…but the rest dont…

Do you have all 3 icon sets (bottom of this page https://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-carterlake.php#advforecast ) ?

you mean bottom 3 scripts?

Let’s back up a bit. How many images do you have in the /images folder ?

509 images

I think you are missing

Download: Icon Set (V2 for NWS 55x55 icons) (upload to your website in the /forecast/images directory)

from the page I linked above

wooohooo! Thanks Niko. Images are there now.

Last question for tonight. How do I get time to show USA format?

What do you mean? AM/PM?

yes

All Update time stamps on the website are European style while others are am/pm…

Hmmm, looks like you’ve set AM/PM in settings.php so there’s something else going on, a problem for tomorrow…

OK.

Also…looks like my testtags.php is not being uploaded…

Plus Wind and Rain is saying we are in January…

and lastly I would love to know where I can get the Oregon map pages…and possibly link to my GRLevel radar

I’m going to move this to the templates sub-forum.

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with the:

  1. refresh rate to 10 sec? …right now at 20/30sec.
  2. where do I find maps that are relative to Oregon?
  3. where do I find the warnings/advisories for Oregon?
  4. do you know why rain and wind are mentioning a January reference?
  5. On the NWS forecast its warning me that the testtags.php is not being produced… I am wondering why not.

Thanks,
P

First, you need to finish setup of Weather-Display to upload your testtags.php to your website – the one currently there contains demo data from my station from 01/27/2011. Use: https://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/setup-WD.php as a guide on how to do that.

When it is working normally, your status page http://www.cedarridgewx.com/wxstatus.php will show “Current Data” and your site will show all of your current conditions. At present, only the realtime clientraw.txt file is being updated, not your testtags.php file.

You set the ‘refresh rate’ in two places. First, Weather-Display has to upload your clientraw.txt file at 10 second intervals. Use WD, Control Panel, Web Files/Realtime/WDL, Realtime Client FTP/AJAX TAB and set the interval to 10 seconds.
You’ve already set ajaxWDwx.js file to have

var reloadTime = 10000;       // reload AJAX conditions every 5 seconds (= 5000 ms)

so it will check every 10 seconds for an update.

For Oregon, try https://www.weather.gov/ and search for your city name. On that page with your forecast shown, there is a link near the bottom of the page for “Printable Forecast” it will look like

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=45.5118&lon=-122.6756

– copy that link and use it in the Settings.php for your forecast. Also on that page is a link to the Zone forecast… hover over that link and you’ll see an URL with ORZnnn in it… the ORZnnn is your Zone forecast code.
To find your County Zone code, go to https://alerts.weather.gov/cap/or.php?x=3 and look up your county … it will have an ORCmmm code… remember to use both ORZnnn and ORCmmm codes you discovered to configure the NWS alerts area in Settings.php

for 4 and 5 above, you just have to configure Weather-Display to upload testtags.php regularly (5 minute intervals).

Thank Ken. Did all that and got some improvements…but now I get a message that testtags.txt is not there…

Ken, I think I forgot to do this…
Copy testtags.txt file from the distribution WXtags-template-files/ directory to your c:\wdisplay\webfiles directory

Now seems to be OK…
