Hi Ken,
why are these no longer the settings.php?

Code:

$SITE['WUname1']   = 'City Level';      // tooltip label for mode=1
$SITE['WUname2']   = 'State';   // tooltip label for mode=2
$SITE['WUname3']   = 'Sate an other areas';   // tooltip label for mode=3
$SITE['WUname4']   = 'Midwest US';   // tooltip label for mode=4
$SITE['WUname5']   = 'Entire US';      // tooltip label for mode=5

thanks Beau

With this V3 release of the templates, I removed those WU-radar-inc.php settings from Settings.php, and only kept the settings needed for running the maps on the main page. All the settings for WU-radar-inc.php are now done in that script itself (using the WU-radar-testpage.php?show=loc ), and it was proving hard for folks to do the setup there, then copy back 'some' of the settings into Settings.php, so I dropped the entries in Settings.php and the directions.

Best regards,
Ken

hi Ken,
you may went to use outdoor temp an hum not indoor

Code:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CU support function - CU_CBI - Chandler Burning Index
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function CU_CBI($inTemp,$inTempUOM,$inHumidity) {
   // thanks to Chris from sloweather.com for the CBI calculation script
   // modified by Ken True for template usage
   
   preg_match('/([\d\.\+\-]+)/',$inTemp,$t); // strip non-numeric from inTemp if any
   $ctemp = $t[1];
   if(!preg_match('|C|i',$inTempUOM)) {
     $ctemp = ($ctemp-32.0) / 1.8; // convert from Fahrenheit   
   }
   preg_match('/([\d\.\+\-]+)/',$inHumidity,$t); // strip non-numeric from inHumidity if any
   $rh = $t[1];

   // Start Index Calcs
   
   // Chandler Index
   $cbi = (((110 - 1.373 * $rh) - 0.54 * (10.20 - $ctemp)) * (124 * pow(10,-0.0142 * $rh) ))/60;
   // CBI = (((110 - 1.373*RH) - 0.54 * (10.20 - T)) * (124 * 10**(-0.0142*RH)))/60
   
   //Sort out the Chandler Index
   $cbi = round($cbi,1);
   if ($cbi > "97.5") {
      $cbitxt = "EXTREME";
      $cbiimg= "fdl_extreme.gif";
   
   } elseif ($cbi >="90") {
      $cbitxt = "VERY HIGH";
      $cbiimg= "fdl_vhigh.gif";
   
   } elseif ($cbi >= "75") {
      $cbitxt = "HIGH";
      $cbiimg= "fdl_high.gif";
   
   } elseif ($cbi >= "50") {
      $cbitxt = "MODERATE";
      $cbiimg= "fdl_moderate.gif";
   
   } else {
      $cbitxt="LOW";
      $cbiimg= "fdl_low.gif";
   }
    $data = array($cbi,$cbitxt,$cbiimg);
    return $data;
    
} // end CU_CBI

Beau,
I think you may have a misunderstanding of the role the variables named in a function definition actually do.

In the line

Code:

function CU_CBI($inTemp,$inTempUOM,$inHumidity) {

the CU_CBI function has three arguments with symbolic names (used ONLY inside the function itself) of $inTemp,$inTempUOM,$inHumidity . When the function is actually called (earlier in the CU-defs.php script by

Code:

list($chandler,$chandlertxt,$chandlerimg) = CU_CBI($temperature,$uomtemp,$humidity);

The current value of $temperature is assigned to the function's $inTemp variable, the value of $uomtemp is assigned to the function's $inTempUOM variable, and the value of $humidity is assigned to the function's $inHumidity variable.

The assignments for $temperature,$uomtemp,$humidity happen further up the CU-defs.php source at

Code:

$uomtemp = $WX['tempunit'];

$temperature = $WX['temp'];

$humidity = $WX['hum'];

So the function is really calculating the CBI based on the outside temperature and unit-of-measure and outside relative humidity.

Using functions allow you to isolate calculations and pass information to the function from different sources. The function definition statement just serves to declare the function name, and the internal(to the function) variable names that will receive argument values when the function is called.

Best regards,
Ken

Any one using Cumulus with Ken's templates would you post the link here? I'd like to get some ideas on adding Cumulus features. My test is http://www.komokaweather.com/wxindex.php

Now available .. a updates page you can query to find out what's changed since you downloaded the Beta or Release versions of the template sets. If your query results in changed files being listed, you can also click on a link to download a .zip file with all the changed scripts. The page also allows you to save the selections for easy use next time (requires browser cookies to be enabled).

Enjoy!

http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/updates.php

BTW.. I strongly recommend that all Beta testers and new Release users try the page and download the fixes

Best regards,
Ken

That wasn't a ajax-dashboard issue, it was a missing </div> in the old wxindex.php .. just replace that file.

Hello Cumulus colleagues!

I have been testing this amazing template from Ken! With Ken help of course

, and now I have found a problem.

I want to send to my web host a file: CUtags.txt. But when upload this file hte cumulus have to rename that file to CUtags.php. Then in my web the Ken script work with it.

The problem is cumulus do not upload and rename that file. I'm using the Cumulus beta release v1.9.1 (build 974).

Thank you in advance.

If it's a 'realtime' (often uploaded) type file;

Internet options => Files

Left-hand panel - Local (PC) file
Right-hand panel - webhost/newfilename

Realtime - checked, ftp - checked, and if processed by Cumulus - checked

But it's like you have said that I have cumulus configured.

Look at my print screens:

Somebody have an answer?

You don't have a remote path to CUtags.php .... something like /folder/CUtags.php so the file goes to ? You can set ftp-logging for a while.

The CUtags.php don't need the realtime ticked so the setting for that file is good.

Thank you very much! :clap:

I did what you said and it works fine now!

This is the link for my temporary tests: http://www.meteoelvas.com/estacao/wxindex.php

Once again I am thankful to Ken, for the given help!

Beau the 'fire danger' files are not part of the templates - I have attached the 'fdl_images.zip' file in case those are the images you are looking for.

If, instead, you are looking for the 'fire weather' files, they are include in the 'usa' template set an can be found in the 'ajax-images' sub-directory.

n9mfk wrote:

Neither the 'cbi' nor the 'fwi' have been include into the 'ajaxCUwx.js' or the 'ajax-dashboard.php' files as Cumulus does not produce data for the fire weather.

Hi Ken,
My php-ajax template doesn't work as I wish I've mentioned before that I've no decimals in the temperatue (I use a comma in Cumulus) although this site http://www.meteoelvas.com/estacao/wxindex.php (not mine) shows the values with decimals (comma's)

I think it's something with the date notation in my CUtags.php the date is 18-2-2011 (day month year) but the date on my site is http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxindex.php 18/12/1999 (day december ?? 1999 ?? so very strange..) The page doesnt update by itself most values are correct allthough..

The CUtags.php is updated every 15 minutes and realtime.txt every 60 secs , the status page doesnt update for Cumulus weather data this is because the date is wrong I think.. the date notation in my realtime.txt is 18-02-11 (dd-mm-yy) I hope there will be a solution

BTW on your instruction page

Quote:

You should now be able to see a data file on your website
http://www.yourwebsite.com/realtime.txt

This file will be used by the ajaxCUwx.js JavaScript to provide AJAX updates to your pages.

It seems there is a code in ajaxCUwx.js looking for a 'valid' realtime.txt

Update I think the wrong readings have more to do with my WUtag.php http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/CUtags.php?sce=dump
