The pop-up for “Visual Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights and VHF Radio Aurora Indicators” used in the sun-block is missing the essential file to do all the calculations.
There seems to be no replacement for that file yet.
https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/products/geospace/planetary-k-index-dst.json
I browsed the file-tree but did not find a file yet at https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/
Those who are using the status pop-up will get a red exclamation mark for an outdated file.
@ALL => block the download of the file
=> PWS_load_files.php around line 257, set the line with fnctn_load_file (‘Aurora-kindex’); to comment with a #
#
# load k-index, can always be loaded, just check age
$filename = $fl_folder.$kndx_fl;
$allowed_age = $kindexRefresh*$times;
$url = 'https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/products/geospace/planetary-k-index-dst.json';
#fnctn_load_file ('Aurora-kindex');
@those who use the stauts checking => remove the . . ./pwsWD/_my-settings/status.arr file.
It will be rebuilt in 24 hours max.
@ALL if you do not want the incomplete/old aurora pop-up
add the following lines to your . . ./pwsWD/_my_settings/extra-bloks.txt
script = sun_c_block.php
popup_not1 = not
end
or change the PWS_blocks.php script around line 386 by changing
array (‘show’ => true, ‘popup’ => ‘aurora_popup.php’, to
array (‘show’ => false ‘popup’ => ‘aurora_popup.php’,
$script = 'sun_c_block.php';
$blck_ttls[$script] = $head_sun;
$blck_rfrs[$script] = $rfrsh_sun_moon;
$blck_ppp [$script][] = array ('show' => true, 'popup' => 'moon_popup.php', 'chartinfo' => 'popup', 'text' => $moon_txt );
$blck_ppp [$script][] = array ('show' => false, 'popup' => 'aurora_popup.php', 'chartinfo' => 'popup', 'text' => $aurora_txt );
$blck_ppp [$script][] = array ('show' => true, 'popup' => 'meteors_popup.php', 'chartinfo' => 'popup', 'text' => $meteors_txt );

Thanks, I used the first one of the list, seems to be updated most frequently.
