Meteotemplate - new free website template

Found it! Webfiles/Web Page Setup/Realtime Client FTP settings. My switch was OFF, so I turned it on and clicked Start Now. My meteotemplate is now online!

Thanks very much Niko and all others of you who helped me get this going!

I feel so stupid. #-o

That’s good news :smiley:

No! Everyone learns!

The important thing is it is worknig now! Im really glad to hear that Dan, let me know if you need any help with installing the blocks, plugins etc. Or if you have any other questions. Either here on the forum or you can email me or even call me on Skype.

Re the latest bug fixes, I have installed them but getting error messages as follows For the header Quote
Warning: gmmktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /web1/user53995/website/meteotemplate/scripts/headerMetar.php on line 299</blockquote>
No, this is again something odd about your server, the scripts should work fine even today.

I am getting a bit annoyed with my hosts servers throwing up erors to various pages the above being the latest, I have contacted them on several occasions and sent them copies of the various files for their tech people to try and sort out but all to no avail. Can anybody reccomend a reliable (not too epensive) host I could transfer my site to. I paid for a years hosting with “Easily.co.uk” but am really not happy with the service so I think I will have to bite the bullet and move. No one else seems to have these issues. :?

Hi Phil,
sorry for the problems, I could look if I can make some changes on your server. I am of course not 100% sure this is also not my fault, but I guess not, since if you look, no-one else has reported any errors and I already have over 40 people that updated the script

Hi guys,

two plugin updates:

Scales 2.0
The new version now also includes Fujita Enhanced scale and the Australian tropical cyclone classification. Big thanks goes to Gavin for his ideas and data provided.

DEMO: http://www.meteotemplate.com/template/plugins/scales/index.php

Radial Graphs 2.0
Based on your feedback I updated the recently released Radial Graphs plugin. New version includes icon tooltips to make it more clear for your users.

Enjoy

Hi guys,

I forgot mentioning I have two new regional blocks.

Forecast - Spain
I was asked if I could create a fully localized textual forecast for Spain, so here it is. It is a 2-day forecast for all the Spanish provinces.

DEMO: http://www.meteotemplate.com/template/indexBlockDemoNarrow.php?block=forecastSpain

Current Conditions - Sweden
And another regional block, this time for Sweden, which shows the current conditions for all the major Swedish cities (temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, wind speed and wind gust). Data is cached and can be sorted easily in the table.

Hi
well I think this is just my station compare that is not working on my host server

Metar url in explorer http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/EGNS/2016/6/16/DailyHistory.html?format=1 gets data but the http changes to https
WU url in explorer http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IBALLAUG2&month=6&year=2016&day=16&format=1 again gets data but the http changes to https

so I changed the http in lines 56-66 in both compareMetar.php and compareWU.php to https but sadly still got Data N/A even tried error_reporting(0); in them both but still the same so took out again.

I notice that no cache files are being create in the stationCompare folder.

for what ever reason the scripts on my site are not getting the data which is clearly available.

on the bright side a least its not giving an error message.

Even if that was the case (which I doubt) A messgae from the hosts saying “its not our servers that are the problem” would be nice, but nothing at all doesn’t help!! Think I will send a strongly worded e mail!!
Phil

I have just installed some of the latest plugins, wdParser, Scales and radialGraphs. All working fine except for radial graphs, no data showing on the graph.

It is because of that error in the header.

I guess the only fix for now is to disable the interactive banner. There is a problem with retrieving data from the new source.

Can I replace the header with the pre Blueberry version or will that just cause more issues?

No that wont work, that used Yahoo, which changed their API, which is why I transfered it to Metar.

New Plugin - Climate Classification

Hi guys,
I am glad that my PhD exam from climatology is successfully completed (the grade even surpassed my expectations  ) and as part of the revision I made for myself an interactive page that covered one of the chapters, in particular the one about climate classification.

I thought some of you might be interested so I made it into a plugin.

There is a brief description of the various classification schemes and then several described in detail, including images, animations, graphs, interactive calculators (find what climate type you live in based on a particular climate classification and your station data, you can also change the numbers and recalculate), maps and examples.

Congratulations on your results.

I guess the only fix for now is to disable the interactive banner. There is a problem with retrieving data from the new source.

How do I disable the interactive banner?
Phil

in the setup.php at the bottom in the customization section

congrats on your exams Jachym ! :slight_smile:

Good job Jachym!

When will you be finished?

:smiley:

Next exam is in October, then last one next yr in May.

My plan is do the exams in these first yrs and then last yr concentrate just on writing the thesis.

Theoretically you can do PhD in 3 yrs minimum, maximum is 7. But the problem is that if you have a normal job (in my case full-time job, part-time job and Meteotemplate :D) people usually do it much longer than 3 yrs, more like the upper limit.

Still I want to try, but 3 yrs is minimum and I just started this September. This was my second exam. So far so good :smiley: Two As LOL

Hi
do https url’s require a ssl cert on the server to work
