Re: New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

I heard back from the developer. The nearest-station is always zero. At the moment PirateWeather only integrates model data and does not use station data in the API which is why that value is always zero. I've released V2.52 of PW-forecast.php which removes the display of that in the Conditions box....

Re: New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

In Pirateweather JSON, the "nearest-station" : 0 data in "flags" is used for that conditions display. That works with DarkSky (who's API this mimics). Maybe Pirateweather just hasn't set that variable for the "currently" display and defaults to zero. Don't know, but I'l...

Re: New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

I've seen that too on occasion. It didn't hang around long enough for me to debug, but I suspect the MerryTimeline JavaScript is having a problem with the Browser DOM that gets flushed when the page is reloaded. I'll need to keep the browser tools enabled while multiple reloads are done to see if a ...

Re: New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

For Pirateweather, after you sign up for an api key, you have to 'subscribe' to the beta service. Do a view-source of your page, you'll find a JSON return that looks like {"message":"Forbidden", "Subscription":"Ensure that subscribe is clicked for this endpoint: ht...

Yep.. appears to be in meters for all displays (without any real documentation on their part). :bash: I've updated VC-forecast.php V2.02 - 23-Feb-2023 to fix Conditions distance display for km or miles and time displays on hourly/conditions It's on the script page , the github distribution and the u...

Re: New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

Looks like a bit of bad data from the VisualCrossing JSON "stations": { "EGHH": { "distance": 22268.0, "latitude": 50.78, "longitude": -1.83, "useCount": 0, "id": "EGHH", "name": "EGHH", "quality...

Re: Incorrect tag values display on website

The cache file USNO-moondata.txt is not used/created by the current get-USNO-sunmoon.php since the USNO discontinued their API a couple of years ago, and have only now restarted publishing it (but with a different JSON format and query structure). The get-USNO-sunmoon.php forces a calculation to be ...

Re: Incorrect tag values display on website

Those values come from Cumulus, but are overwritten by code in ajax-dashboard to use date_sun_info() time, and your lat/long. In CU-defs.php there is $sunrise = $WX['sunrise']; $sunset = $WX['sunset']; $moonrise = $WX['moonrise']; $moonset = $WX['moonset']; and your CUtags.php?sce=dump shows $WX['su...

Re: Incorrect tag values display on website

It looks like you added those (Daylength, Tomorrow's Daylength) to the stock ajax-dashboard. The issue is that the Daylength is a time in hh:mm format, and the tomorrowdaylength is a string with embeded time in it .. you can't feed that through the fixup_time() function (which is expecting only a st...

New OpenWeatherMap and VisualCrossing weather forecast scripts available

It's been a busy late Jan/early Feb with coding to add two more sources for international, multilingual forecasts: OpenWeatherMap (https://openweathermap.org) and VisualCrossing (https://visualcrossing.com). Both provide limited-use free API keys available. Both providers only give one daily icon pe...

Re: New PW-forecast.php script for international/multilingual forecasts

As you likely know, after Apple bought DarkSky, the ability to get new DarkSky API keys vanished, and the API itself is soon to be withdrawn from availability. Fortunately, a PhD student has cobbled together an API using public weather data (GFS, GEFS, HRRR) on Amazon Web Services and is offering a...

Re: New PW-forecast.php script for international/multilingual forecasts

Just did a small update of PW-forecast.php to V2.51 of the script to automatically set the timeline display to ampm or 24hr time based on $timeFormat/$SITE['timeFormat']. (If the time format has 'g', then am/pm is used, otherwise 24hr time is used). Available on the script page, the Template update ...

Re: Webtag pages ready for review

Mark, I consider the CUMX WebTags.txt is the authoritative source for available tags.

We should strive to document all the available tags in the Wiki, and remove/correct tags in the Wiki that are not supplied by CUMX.
