Fresh Weather Display

Hi, I must have been asleep when this came out, I only knew about it the other day when I posted about WDL using flash. My question is how hard is it to install, I cannot seem to find anything about it, or am I missing something somewhere.

its very easy to install
set a couple of settings in the config file (e.g the url to your clientraw file)
upload the files to a directory on your web site
then view the web page (freshwdlmaster.html) in that remote directory in your browser

Home page GitHub - Yerren/FreshWDL: FreshWDL is a pure JavaScript alternative to WDL.

Forum thread JavaScript WDL version 1.0.0 alpha.

I just uploaded the files to the same place as WDL, there’s no confusion. And it works well!

Thanks guys for the help, I take it that it does not use flash then, it’s a replacement for the flash version, I will have a go at it latter.

Great to see FWDL and mine is here Weather Display Live.

Only it isn’t updating every few seconds like WDL does - the clientraw.txt files are definitely being updated tho’.

Have I missed something?

its updating every few seconds for me when I view your site
maybe try a different browser or use ctrl F5 to refresh the page

I see the windspeed updating every few seconds.

Is there a limit setting for how long it will continue to live update (anti camping) ?

Thanks Brian, that’s interesting. Apple/ Safari seem to be at the root of the problem - I also have to force WD to refresh otherwise past data (the main display *.gif file doesn’t refresh - a problem that started recently.

how do you mean by force WD to refresh exactly?
