Archive Weather Display Live Discussion/Questions
1

1.05 now available for download from the Weather Display site.

Main changes to v1.05 -
Large scale rewrite behind the scenes to make it more object oriented - mainly in preparation for v2 and to reduce file size
Line wrap sorted for Metars
Tooltips added
UV sensor added
Rainfall gauges animated
Heat index/humidex option
Ability for users to enable or disable buttons with config file.
More icon keywords added
Comments taken out of config file and put in readme to reduce file size.

Note that to get the heat index/humidity option to work correctly you need to be using WD v10.12p or later. You must also update your wdlconfig file to the new version.

Julian, Sorry I can’t get it to work. I just keep getting a blank screen.
No errors.

Is this a bug, or am I doing someting wrong?

In setting the value “Humidex” or “Heatindex”, the WDL screen always opens with Humidex. It will change if I select the “Heat” button, but always opens with Humidex.

I’m running ver 1012q of WD.

Thanks

Sorry my fault. I left off a tag in the new wdlconfig file. I’ll ask Brian to upload a new version but in the meantime you can correct it by adding

after the line that says

and before

Did you upload the your exited index.html and wdlconfig.xml… AND the wdlv1_05.swf files?

Yes Here is the wdlconfig.xml contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> mynumber Jeff Mauzey F mph in inHg ft 4 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 humidex

AND Here is the htm file for displaying the wdlive screen

Hi Jeff

Looking at your source code I would expect your wdlconfig file to be at http://www.mauzeynet.com/newweather/images/wdlconfig.xml but when I go there all I get is a login prompt. It looks to me like WDL can’t load your config file.

Did you remember to update the flash movie, but uploading the file wdlv1_05.swf?

At first I didn’t upload this file, and got a blank green page.

Julian, That is strange.

I can veiw wdfulldata.xml and all of my other pages.

http://www.mauzeynet.com/newweather/images/clientraw.txt

But not wdconfig.xml

http://www.mauzeynet.com/newweather/images/wdlconfig.xml

Yes that’s the same for me. Try moving the config file to another directory and see what happens. Do you run your own web server?

Julian

12

Yes

13

Are the NT permissions for the config file the same as for the others?
Are you running URLscan? If so make sure there aren’t any settings in the ini file that could cause it to be denied.

But try putting it into another directory first.

I did have to add IUSR to the permissions for the .xml and the .swf files for it to work. that is the first time I have had to do that. The files from the 04 version worked fine, but the 05 version I had to add permissions.

Wierd :?

15

Indeed. At least it’s working now.

WD Live working great here (updated version). I really like the mouse over features. WD Live is really terrific now. :smiley:

CaptDilli,

I see you have the same problem I have. The little cloud does not always slide up the scale. Even though you show a cloud base of 6625 right now, the cloud is sitting at zero.

Oops?

I haven’t seen this or been able to reproduce it yet. If anyone notices this please let me know the altitude of the cloud when it happens or if you notice anything consistent about when it happens.

Thanks

Julian
