I am trying to create a banner, first for my website and then to use when posting messages on the forums here, but I have been going round in circles despite reading a lot of previous messages on the forum, so much so that I am now asking for some help, please.
I am using Cumulus on a Windows 8.1 computer running 24/7 uploading data to my website at <www.g4bue.co.uk/en/Weather/>, Wunderground and WOW, and that is all working fine. I now want to add a banner to the bottom of my home page <www.g4bue.co.uk/en/home/> and have been trying to use the following Wunderground banner:
<object width="290" height="130"><param name="movie" value="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/pws_min ... sh&lang=EN" /><embed src="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/pws_min ... sh&lang=EN" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="290" height="130" /></object>
This shows an outline of the banner on my home page with "Loading ..." and a start > shape button in the centre. When I click on the > button, the banner appears as it should with accurate data, apart from the dewpoint figure (that is currently showing 90% instead of the 54.4% displayed in Cumulus).
How do I get rid of the > button so the banner displays properly when the home page is displayed, please?
Also, is there any reason why just the humidity figure is wrong, whereas all the others (temperature, dew point, rainfall, pressure, and wind speed and direction) are correct?
Also, when I view my home page using Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop, it shows the banner as described above, but when I view the home page, also using Chrome, on my ipad, it doesn't show the banner at all.
Finally, is there a better banner (and perhaps a simpler one that is easier for me to get working properly) than the Wunderground one I have been trying to use? I tried a TNET Services banner for Cumulus but couldn't get that working at all, despite ensuring the banner.php file is in the same folder as the Cumulus realtime.txt file.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Chris

Re: Wunderground Banner Problems
Thanks David but there are so many messages at that reference, I don't know which one to try!
Can you direct me to the best one, please?
Thanks
Chris

Re: Wunderground Banner Problems
If you follow the second post it takes you to https://www.tnetweather.com/projects/downloads and the banner code and a PDF file describing the setup is available from the line Cumulus PHP-GD Banner.

Re: Wunderground Banner Problems
The link that David posted is what I use. Initially the default, and edited it slightly about a year ago to show a bit more colour and background.
Enjoy,
Paul
