Thanks Ken. I think that has fixed one problem but I appear to have another related to my location adapted for England.

The error log is now complaining about line 433:-

[12-Dec-2011 21:19:07] PHP Warning: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/admin4/public_html/NOAA-reports.php on line 433

That line is as follows:-
$rpt = preg_replace('State: Cheshire', 'County: Cheshire Country: UK', $rpt, 1);

Hi Ray,

The preg_replace would need to have a delimiter in the regex on the first argument like:

$rpt = preg_replace('/State: Cheshire/i', 'County: Cheshire Country: UK', $rpt, 1);

then it would execute correctly.

Best regards,
Ken

I reverted to the standard piece of code for the location and it seems to have fixed the problem.

One last question. How do I generate files for all the months I have data for? Had a look in the Help but nothing jumped out at me.

Glad the spec on the directory fixed the issue.

In the Cumulus, View, NOAA Monthly Report (and NOAA Yearly Report) there's an option at the bottom of the window to specify the Month/Year (or just Year) for the report. Select 'Update Report' then you can do a "Save" selecting ANSI file type.

Repeat for your missing reports, then manually upload the historical file(s) to your NOAA-reports/ directory.

Best regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your help with both questions. Given the location code works I'll leave that alone for now.

Regarding choosing another month/year for NOAA data I don't see an option at the bottom of that window. I'm running Cumulus on a netbook with a 1024*600 resolution. Might that be the reason?

Steve, should I be able to see the option at the bottom of that window to generate data for another period?

- caught between regex and str replace

- example corrected, cheers

Probably, can you remote desktop into your netbook and specify a larger desktop size?

Where do I find the noaarep.css :?:

It is created when you launch NOAA.php. It should then be uploaded to the NOAA-Reports folder on your server.

NOAA.php

what's that? All I have is NOAA-reports.php...

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:11 pm

That will display the climate reports but if you want a webpage with the same look and feel as your other pages that's where NOAA.php comes in. http://www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk/NOAA.php

I just took the vanilla NOAA-reports.php and uploaded it to my web-server.
And this is what I get: http://www.ibtest.dk/vejr/NOAA-reports.php
It doesn't look as nice as Beteljuice's sample display....

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:22 pm

It's all a bit beyond me I'm afraid. Hopefully beteljuice will be along to help out.

I've had one other person report this problem.

It seems to be a permissions thing where the directory won't allow the noaarep.css file to be written.

Copy this lot as noaarep.css and upload it to your site.

Code:

/* default stylesheet for NOAA Style Reports ala beteljuice */
/* overall container */
.noaa_rep_container {
    font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;
    width: 635px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}

.noaa_rep_container a, .noaa_rep_container a:link, .noaa_rep_container a:visited, .noaa_rep_container a:hover, .noaa_rep_container a:active {
    color: #000000; 
    text-decoration: none;
    background-color: white;
}


/* container for nav buttons */
.noaa_rep_nav_container {
    font-family: lucida console, courier new, courier, monospace;
    font-size: 8pt;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: left;
    line-height: 2.2;
    text-align: center;
}


/* the nav buttons themselves */
.noaa_rep_nav {
    text-align: left;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px; /* NOT IE8 and below */
    padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
    color: #808080;   
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    font-weight: bold;
}

/* modified year button when used with expand - collapse (same as above but 'flattened' left-hand side) */
.noaa_rep_nav_alt {
    text-align: left;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    border-radius: 0px 10px 10px 0px; /* NOT IE8 and below */
    padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
    color: #808080;
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    font-weight: bold;
}

/* expand - collapse button (single line) */
.noaa_expand {
    color: #000000;
    border-radius: 10px 0px 0px 10px; /* NOT IE8 and below */
    background-color: #DDC81D; /* dirty yellow */
    cursor: pointer;
}

/* expand - collapse button (full menu) */
.noaa_expand_alt {
    color: #808080;
    border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px; /* NOT IE8 and below */
    background-color: #DDC81D; /* dirty yellow */
    cursor: pointer;
    visibility: hidden; 
}

/* nav button hover color - NOT IE8 and below */
a.noaa_rep_nav:hover {
    box-shadow: 0 0 7px #007EBF;
}

/* nav button hover color - NOT IE8 and below */
a.noaa_rep_nav_alt:hover {
    box-shadow: 0 0 7px #007EBF;
}

/* highlight selected year or month button - NOT IE8 and below */
.noaa_selected {
    box-shadow: 0 0 7px #FF0000; /* red */
}

/* highlight selected year line */
.noaa_selected_line {
    background-color: #FFFF00; /* yellow */
}


/* container for the actual report file */
.noaa_rep_container pre {
    color: #000000;
    font-family: monospace;
    font-size: 9pt;
    font-weight: normal;
    text-align: left;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px; /* NOT IE8 and below */
    padding: 20px 0px 25px 20px;
    background-color: #f9f8EB;
}

Thanks beteljuice.
Your noaarep.css did the trick.
(Suggest you include it in your package - alternatively write a note telling other persons about the problem)

beteljuice · **Posted:** Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:56 am

It is actually within the script

- but for some set ups won't come out to play :lol:

As for the note ........

........ we just wrote it :clap:

Thank You. That copy did it for me to. Now I can link to them.

One question though. Is there one where all years and months show without having the drop down option to click on? I mean go to the php page and there is everything laid out?
