What I was suggesting was that telling people on a PUBLIC forum that the solution to your problem was to hot link images, was not a good idea.
The forum is archived by many search engines at a very fast clip. Google has already archived the posting pretty much forever.
Reference to the radar page which is new and still under development is not the same thing. I have not posted the code that script uses for that very reason. It’s not completed yet.
This weekend, I am working on the caching code which I completed on the webcam page late last night.
I also am not a proponent of hotlinking. Causes too much uncertainty and broken pages, images etc. A perfect example of why I say this, for example, is using NWS or similiar on our weather webpages. While this action is allowed and generally the only way to do it, most scripts currently in use do go outside to get the info, look at how many “emergency” messges are on the forum if NWS should go offline for a period of time.
Additionally, and more importantly to me, is if I have to pay for bandwidth, I want my bandwidth being used for it’s intended purpose… people coming to my site and looking at the information supplied, not someone stealing my hard earned created information to diplay on their website and inferring it is their original work.
This is way off topic, Steve only mentioned away that he was doing it, then folks jumped on him for doing so, plus you purposely hotlinked his images to this forum, a bit childish to say the least but mostly hypocritical.
Kevin, Most are using others sites bandwidth in one way or an other, whether it be direct hotlinking, look at your (RADAR PAGES) or using a script to grab images from another site look at your webcam page (WEBCAM PAGE) this in turn is also using another sites bandwidth.
It does seem a bit ironic that the people waving the “no hotlink” and “bandwidth theft” flags are doing this very thing on their public sites, either by a “hotlink” or cached images/information!!.
I agree with Bashy most of us are doing the same thing and therefore I have no axe to grind!.
EDIT: In the interest of peace and harmony I have removed the offending code/link from my previous posts.
Ah good ol PHP 4 and 5 differences I am getting a depreciated function split() which is screwing things up in a couple of locations, anyone come up with a fix?
Use this URL to get to it (the code has some stuff in it to redirect to a test Opera mini-browser if you leave out the param):
I do that, and now I see the following errors:
Warning: include_once(cell_ajax-dashboard.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/c/n/y/cnyweather/html/cell.php on line 84
It appears you’ve removed the cell dashboard file from the root directory.
