Beau,
Please attach a text copy of your Settings.php to a reply, or put the wxindex.php page on your site. I can’t determine what the problem is without seeing how your settings are done.

Beau,

Try capitalizing the radar name last three characters to

$SITE['noaaradar']      = 'ILX';

Hi ken that worked are there any other setting i need to set for wu
also do you get the lat a n long from wd also why did you use a file for just the graph data Thanks Beau

ktrue · March 16, 2008, 2:43am

Beau,
there are multiple settings you need to do for the WU radar besides putting stuff in Settings.php

The directions for WU-radar setup are at http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-WUradar.php#WU-radar

I don’t get the lat/long from WD – you’ll need to put that in the Settings.php file in decimal degrees. Those settings are used in several places for the UV forecast, the nearby earthquakes, and the WU-radar to highlight your location on the close-in maps.

I don’t understand what you mean by

why did you use a file for just the graph data

– which page are you talking about?

Ken

Hi Ken I was Talking trends-inc.txt why is it its own file
thanks Beau

ktrue · March 16, 2008, 2:31pm

Beau,
The majority of the data presented on the trends page is used nowhere else on the site pages so the testtags was used for data that is common to many pages, and the trends-inc used for just that one page.

$SITE['tz']          = 'CST6PDT';  //NOTE: this *MUST* be set correctly to
// translate UTC times to your LOCAL time for the displays.

should be CST6CDT

You are in Central Time zone correct Beau?
