'Idesign Simplicity' Template by Brian Underdown

pricey · 27 March 2017 17:01

Hello. Like the look of the template so will try and give it a go. Not an expert so be gentle.

Trying to open the easyweathersetup.php. All i get is (see image attached).
Have created pws in root directory, i assume it’s inside public.html, uploaded the unzipped dashboard zip to it but when i try to open it i get (see image) and the fields are filled with code.
Also it seems to be opening the file locally (see image) I thought php was a server side file.

Using core ftp. I am right clicking and selecting edit.

Any ideas. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks Steve.

where has the 24hr time format gone in 34GM had to put the last version of 34E I have back on to get 24hr format back
what do I need to alter in version 34GM to get 24hr time format as I am a 24hr format person and have been both while I was working and at home, for the last 15+ years.

There is a little IE 11 bug with the PM in the new time format, it jumped to the other box.

weatherist34 · 28 March 2017 04:34

good morning hcorrin and forever

I have addressed both issues , you can now select between 24 hour and 12 hour display via the easyweathersetup.php (see screenshot) and hopefully fixed IE11 alignment (still no windows based computer working here) see http://boutiquehotelitaly.com/devpws/

files updated was index.php,indexearthquake.php,wxcharts.php , updater.php, easyweathersetup.php and all css files .

Main Clock Format Option Updated (28-Mar-2017)

For 34GM ONLY now includes optional 24 hour or 12 hour format display , setup via easyweathersetup.php.

as always download via Weather-3Four - Where can we find out the weather

Thank you very much.

Hi Brian
thanks for sorting 24hour format

Steve
had a look at you site as you are in a similar area to me suggest you change the moon rise value in easysetup to 1 instead of 0

Hello everyone, I have a ws1001 and I would like it to work with ws1001.txt. It is a week that I try not succeeded. the site is http://lokaleolucavale.altervista.org/pws/index.php
What should I write exactly in the server.ini file? please

atsio · 29 March 2017 20:29

Well, for some reason, the page conditions and forecast are not updating!
It was working fine with cron jobs version, but the standalone version is not! :roll:

Good morning atsio

A quick check I found this in http://www.meteothes.gr/pws/jsondata/wuweatherupdate.txt

“response”: {
“version”:“0.1”,
“termsofService”:“Login | Weather Underground”,
“features”: {

}

		,
"error": {
	"type": "keynotfound"
	
		,"description": "this key does not exist"
	
}

So double check your API key input .

Good morning

Drop me a pm sometime or email we can try a few things, it has been tested an being used on latest firmware release 2.3.7 http://www.claydonsweather.org.uk/ or Piet’s custom https://www.sauwerdmeteo.nl I use firmware 2.3.3 without any issues .

Think you can also use the weather display software but I’m not sure anymore as the template does not use json file extensions anymore or cron jobs .

If you can possibly create a sub domain like http://weather.lokaleolucavale.altervista.org it would be much more advantageous so we don’t interrupt any of your existing templates you are using

arnold72 · 30 March 2017 11:57

thanks for the reply, the firmware is 2.3.7 with your own design, I bought the ws1001 for 2 weeks and I’m experiencing some things, the address is only lokaleolucavale test, the officer is working lokaleolucac.altervista.org which stands with wd. regarding my problem is that wu is regularly updated every 16 seconds, while the json no

Brian, although I double checked the api key in settings file yesterday, it didn’t work! I’ll give it a try again later when I’ll be at home and
let you know how it goes!

Do I have to place the api key in anohther file except the settings?

Hello good evening

Just add the API key via the easyweathersetup.php

no need to edit any code direct in terms of settings everything is driven by setup menu…

Let us know if you cant resolve but you shouldn’t have a problem.

Brian

weatherist34 · 30 March 2017 16:23

atsio

forgot to say earlier , using the easyweathersetup.php has really eliminated the editing of settings.php so becareful not to add the api key directly in the settings.php you should let the setup screen do it for you .

Brian,

I just updated to the latest version and a lingering problem still happens. When I first open my homeweatherstation: frontrangeweather.net/PWS, one or more of the 9 windows do not open. When I refresh the screen it’s a different mix of what does not open. I hope someone can help me here.

Thanks,

good morning

Im not understanding clearly what the lingering problem is , i went to your page and all loaded fine albeit it was not on current version of template. however when I just double checked there were internal 500 errors being flagged up .

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) (barometer.php)
[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) (windspeeddirection.php)

which is saying you don’t have the server resources to load the elements/modules

i can help you but i would need your ftp details and tweak the .htaccess to see if that will resolve .
dealing with 500 internal server errors can be either quickly resolved by modifying the .htaccess or increase memory limit via php or a teething long process battling
hosting limitations set by hosting company.

I had similar issues two years ago when I first put this together using a host company called HOSTMETRO after something like 100 email exchanges with them I gave up and moved it all over to my ICDSOFT account i was using for other work/projects etc issued resolved .

i would say in advance if this causes an issue i would not run the this template alongside and just continue with what you have http://frontrangeweather.net has it is working fine and looks great.

feel free to drop your ftp details via pm I will take a look to see if i can help…
