Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

@HansR, I'm not trying to avoid technological progress, just trying to minimize the 'attack surface' of a hobbyist's website. Recently, there have been multiple 'supply chain' attacks where miscreants have infiltrated backdoors/other malware via open-sourced software via CDN distributions. Some have...

Re: Meso-map stopped working

I think it's a Kristal hosting issue.. their Cloudflare caching is default enabled and includes Immunify Anti-malware checking. Sigh.

Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

Stuart, I share a longtime aversion to excessive use of JavaScript in websites -- it runs in the browser, and if it comes from a CDN, there's always the possibility of it not being available (internet issues) or, recently, getting malware via an infected CDN distribution. CumulusMX is designed to be...

Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

I agree.. we have to eliminate Highcharts from our usage and replace with an open source graphic package (JavaScript) I'm looking at: ApexCharts https://apexcharts.com/javascript-chart-demos/line-charts/ ChartsJS https://www.chartjs.org/ https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js https://www.chartjs.org/do...

Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

I'm starting my experiments with other open-source JavaScript packages by first adapting Mark's existing Highcharts to the Saratoga template Then I'll modify the scripts for each tested package. Here's what my adaptation of the existing Highcharts looks like: 2024-04-09_CUMX-Highcharts.jpg 2024-04-0...

Re: Meso-map stopped working

Running /mmap/mesonet-map-json.php?debug=y on your site
shows you're getting the wsidchk challenge like @Bridger .. contact ukwx.net and have them either allow your ip w/o challenge or to turn off the immunify plugin on their hosting.

Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

Hi Mark, I'll keep you posted on my explorations. PlotLY is a D3 wrapper :) Been a while since I've explored the wild world of JavaScript packages. I do want something that can be loaded locally as a file, not have to depend on a CDN (or use NPM) so it's easy to setup and maintain locally. With so m...

Re: Important - Highcharts Licensing

I'm doing some experimentation with replacing Highcharts with open-source graphing products like ChartsJS, Grafana, PlotLY .. each has their own ecosystem with some using SVG and some using canvas. I'm looking to replace the graphs in the Saratoga template Cumulus plugin for CumulusMX. So many packa...

Answer: yes.. old keys for api.aerisweather.com will work with data.api.xweather.com and new keys ...

This update to Base-USA template now shows a green pin over the station's location (based on Settings.php entries for latitude, longitude, and cityname) The update has 3 files (nws-alerts-details-inc V1....

Re: Webpage not displaying

The curl 'failed to connect' issue is a problem with your webserver's connection -- it's something the hoster needs to address in the routing for outbound connections to weather.gc.ca -- the script just reports the issue (but can't fix it).

20th Anniversary of Saratoga-weather.org

First light was on 7-Feb-2004 with a one-page website on Comcast Homepages (html only). Wow.. I've been retired that long too :) The current Saratoga-weather.org site design went online September, 2009 and has proved very durable and it uses many of the scripts I developed/shared. See the script his...

Re: Heads-up USA alerts.weather.gov is changing.. script updates are required.

Ok, the update is ready on the update tool for Saratoga templates and also in the standalone GitHub distribution . In the Base-USA distribution, I've removed atom-advisory.php and atom-top-warning.php as those scripts are now deprecated in favor of the nws-alerts.php V2.00 script set. That required ...
