PWS_Dashboard (WD34) Beta releases

What is a beta test? Definition from WhatIs.com

[b]Quality[/b] is the main purpose of beta testing as this phase allows developers and testers to evaluate the overall experience from users' point of view.

Functional testing makes sure all the features of the scripts are working fine and they would perform as expected.

Warning: This beta version is NOT ready for production. if you are “brave” enough to use it on your main website, please solve your problems yourself.

My sincere thanks: to those persons installing as is, testing, locating problems and therefor spending their free time to improve the template for all of us.
I do not have all supported weather-programs, nor do i have weather-station access on all continents/timezones.

Do not even think about

[ul][li]using this beta version for your production environment[/li]
[li]or copying scripts from current/older versions, other than your w34_settings1.php[/li]
[/ul]

Current beta:
October 2019 published at September 3 12 => https://pwsdashboard.com/beta.php

wind block show current wind speed and gust speed don’t today max and min
temperature block show minimal T 0.0

An error in easyweather which now becomes visible.
From now on the time values are converted to unix time and then formatted according to the user settings.
The short time format in easyweather for us times was “g:i” should have been “g:i a”

Temperature high is off today. That has been working.
Tom
High-Low for WeatherFlow are only based on the values processed by livedata and saved by station-cron
Check the history https://www.shermanctweather.org/pws09/history_popup.php

If you accidentally switched weather-programs when testing, the history can be damaged. Simply delete the chartsmydata/history.txt and a new empty history will be used

w34_easyweathersetup.php.zip (11.6 KB)

We had some rain today. .04" for the day but rain was over hours ago and last hours rain has .04"
Yesterday we had .08" but the .04" wasn’t added to months total yet.
https://www.shermanctweather.org/pws09/index.php

I thought that the history showed the highest daily values not totals

That is correct.
The highest value recorded on a day in the month, year or all-time
Wim

Don’t work last hour precipitation for WeatherFlow station.

Thanks for bringing this error to my attention.
Updated script attached

I don’t know if you have spotted it, but your ‘radar’ link in the rainfall block has gone behind the footer because of too many items.

Thanks for noticing that.
Tom

Is adapted in the next beta, Leuven Home Weather Station (wf version)

Wim

Beta version September 12 ready for download.
The “combined” javascripts are now separated in individual scripts and I included the latest versions.
Also the naming of .js and .css is consistent.

But I need to change the definition of the dates in the graph-script, so there are no date times in the graphs for now.

===

No end to the problems with WU. The .CSV are still prone to errors/missing data. But the API also has its faults.
For the October release, I consider to leave the WU-graph data as it is for now.
I have tested multiple solutions so as soon as WU is ready, I can put the most fitting ones into an extra update.

Wim

Hello
new beta release 1909c installed …
for my two templates as shown No data for the charts! normal ?
because i see on your link that the graphs are still OK (=> data from our weatherstation) …

Regards fto

I really hope you understand that this is a beta version of the scripts. therefore not suitable for production websites.

FRENCH: J’esp


re_
naturally, rest assured I understand the purpose of the beta versions and yes likely improvements for a stable version !
the old version worked without worry

i had also read your post of 12 September for the bug reporting data on the charts :oops:

the url link is this postponed in your post “Reply # 13”
it is the same beta version ?

https://pwsdashboard.com/pwsWD/w34_graph_xx.php?period=day&type=temp
the definition of the dates in your graphs are here very visible ?! it was the object of my interrogation simply :wink:

Thnx and Regards fto

I added an update to remove the error (not showing date and values) in the popup’s
Also added translation for the popups
