anyone can set this on there web page, by downloading this file:
then exctract to a folder on your PC, and then upload those files to your web site (i.e by using, action, manage my ftp server, in weather display or a FTP program like cuteftp or WS_FTP)
then the url becomes: http://www.myurlgoeshere/svg.htm
easy as that
but, you need to either have real time clientraw enabled (if permanent connection (see under setup, webfiles/web page setup, real time ftp, tick clientraw upload)
or
use the customise internet and file creation upload to schedule times to ftp the clientraw.txt file (mine is set to every 10 minutes)
what I will do though is get wd to check for internet conneciton, and upload that file every 3 seconds if there is internet connection active…
or might try and get a HTTP web upload to work (but I need a post to form)
I have added some html code to the page…i.e instrucitons at the bottom, and a station header
You will need to change those, in the svg.htm file…i.e the station name at the top,and the info about the url to use at the bottom
in fact, you can add any html code you like
even some xml code to a wd generated xml page, etc
and in a new 9.94e, uploading now, I have made it so that even people with a just a dial up connection, like me, the data is auto updated every 3 seconds while there is a internet connection!
tick that option in the real time ftp setup (setup, web files/web page setup), and also tick rename the file on the server, as that much better, stops the NAN from appearing (if your server accepts that)
I also fixed the busy performing current… error thats been with the real time ftp for a while now…
this is real neat!
and its free, and anyone can use it with the latest version of WD
(I will change the version number to 9.95)
i had a few bugs in the zip file, so redownload, re extract, re set the header and url info, and re upload to your web site, and then it will be OK
2 people have this working now:
also, you most likely will need to tick update the clientraw.txt file under setup,ftp/internet setup, client/server (i will hook that in to the other setup menu)
I set my url and the the real time viewer is working except that temp. is 37.7 & humidity is 70% but feels like 140 degrees. Also I have your heading on the real viewer. How do I change the heading.
My url is http://www.shermanctweather.com/svg.htm
hi
did you set the units as english?
try that:
click on edit config, then reload the page to be able to reselect the units, and you will need to re enter your URL
header:
that is explained in the first post:
you need to adjust that in the svg.htm file before you upload it (and the note at the end of that file about the url for people to use
i.e just use notepad.exe to open and edit that file
ah, ok, you are refereing to 37 as oF
when i view you page in oC, i.e metric, you only have 2.6oC, but your feels like is 61oC!
what version of weather display?
again, I would like to thank Greg (rupp) for all the work he has done on this
Now, Ricky has added more in the code to display your current weather icon
so re download the zip file and reset your info in the svg.htm and e upload the files
i will look at putting the current update time next to the station name…
also, you can add in other html to the start or end of the svg.htm, like to show the autoscale graphs, or a link to your main weather page, etc
next to get rid of the need for cookies, as some people block them, and its not needed…if you want to view someone elses data, you will just have that url bookmarked…easy …but i will have a link to view english or metric on the page…easy (i.e 2 sets of svg setup files)
no more use of cookies
instead just a link to metric or US/English
and the URL you just need to change in the main.svg and the main2.svg (i.e the US/english one)
and the header/station name in the svg.htm and the svg2.htm files
(and add in any other links you want, or any other html code you want to those files)
I am not a expert in programming, so I don’t understand what the realtime update thing of WD is all about. I should be great but why?
All I know is that realtime viewing of WD data is in theory only possible with a constant datastream to the server!
I upload my WD data only every 15 minutes to my provider
???
ALSO A PROBLEM: when I click on the link of Brians SVG page, I get an “error in line xx” error. (I installed the SVG viewer)
Could SOMEONE please write a clear manual for WD so everybody can use ALL the features instead only the experts.
Hi
well, the main thing is to give it a go, and there are lots here who can help
i have designed it to be also used with only a dial up modem, as well
you just need to tick that option, under setup, web page/web files/real time ftp setup, then tab across to the real time ftp setup
thats all i have (a dial up 56k modem)
i.e it updates the data when you are connected to the internet, automaticly detecting that…and then starts again next time you connect to the internet (this may cause problems with excissive ftp session though , depends on your ISP)
there is a readme.txt file in the Weather Display - Downloads
you just need to adjust 2 lines of code in 2 files before you upload the files to your web page (you can use wd to that , under aciton, manage my ftp server)
the first line is in svg.htm (open in notepad.exe), i.e the station name/header
and the url to your clientraw.txt file in the main.svg (replace the url to my clientraw.txt file with the url to your web page (minus any file name on the end))
oh and the default untis to use (default is Metric, change to English), in the main.svg
i just dont find much time to do proper help…but others might…and they could then email me the files to inlude in the online help and i can update it
its a windspeed column bar graph
see my site: http://www.weather-display.com/windy/svg.htm
(some people seem to still have a cached verison of when i had a script error though)
Brian,
Tks… I guess when I get back home this weekend, I’ll update to the latest WD and see if I can also get this to appear on my svg. I think I’m running 2 versions behind at this point but do have the latest svgxtra files on my ISP’s server as I can do this remotely.
