Thermometer inclusion

Post by griffo42 »

Hi

Have just changed to the Cumulus software and whereas the thermometer showed correctly when I was using WeatherLink, it does not appear after my change to Cumulus. I note that there is a suggested line (in green as a comment help &c) in thermometer.php to include in ones Saratoga scripts. Should this be substituted for that in the ajax-dashboard.php file?

Thanks

Hi Keith,
It would help to have the URL of your weather website that is experiencing the problem. Hard to diagnose based on description alone :(

I think the reason the thermometer is misbehaving is due to the realtime.txt file is missing on your site -- Have Cumulus upload the realtime.txt file and the thermometer should work.

If you don't want to use the realtime.txt file, then change Settings-weather.php from

Code: Select all

$SITE['ajaxScript']     = 'ajaxCUwx.js';   // for AJAX enabled display
$SITE['realtimefile']   = './realtime.txt';  // directory and name of Cumulus realtime.txt file
to

Code: Select all

# $SITE['ajaxScript']     = 'ajaxCUwx.js';   // for AJAX enabled display
# $SITE['realtimefile']   = './realtime.txt';  // directory and name of Cumulus realtime.txt file
and the AJAX functions will be turned off. -- they require the realtime.txt to operate.

Hi Ken

Thanks you very much. Now upload realtime.txt and it works perfectly.

Check out http://www.kstwx.net/wxstatus.php -- you also need to be uploading the CUtags.php every 5 minutes to ensure your website shows current info.. looks like it is about 7 hrs behind right now.
