Cumulus Support

Hi BCJKiwi,
I noticed that daytime is be reported at night

The day night info comes directly from the cloudbaseT.txt data file through the tag <#isdaylight> so if cloudbase has it wrong, then Cumulus is sending the wrong info (or the script has been changed?). So please check the Cumulus setup (and that the file is being uploaded?).

17:06 would have been before dusk (which is about 17:19 for you now) hence 'isdaylight' would correctly have been 'true'.

I uploaded CloudBase script and it works fine: http://slesinpogoda.cba.pl/cloudbaseCU.php

Now I would like to replace the Outlook window with WU forecast with CloudBase script, just like here: http://silveracorn.co.nz/weather/
Could you tell me where (what file) I should change the code? Is it to add only "<img src="cloudbaseCU.php" alt="cloudbase" width="100" height="200" />"?

My website: http://slesinpogoda.cba.pl/wxindex.php All upgrades done.

That is in ajax-dashboard.php
line 359 and 675 to 681

Done Thanks for help. You saved my time.

Oops! I am using MX now, so don't know if that is the problem (I thought that I had checked everything since switching) but somehow cloudbaseCU has failed due to a generated request for SH-moon43.gif that a) doesn't exist and b) it is daytime.

Text file is...
24.4 18.1 0.0 15 1010.6 68 5.0 360 755 C mm hPa km/h m 43 7 1 935 0.0 0.0

There seems to be a problem with the parsing of the data file, so it's getting the wrong fields for some of the items. I don't know whether this is because of something that MX is doing differently. It looks like the script is taking your latitude (43) as the moon age, rather than the 7 following it, which is the actual moon age. Similarly, it's looking at the wrong field for 'is daylight'.

Looks like it gets condensed in my post but in the editor there appears to be an additional blank (or non-displayable) between m and 43

The code in Cumulus (1 and MX) which handles the latitude 'dp' parameter pads the field to a minimum width of dp+3, so in the case of dp=0, there's a leading space. Presumably the script expects a single space as delimiter rather than one or more spaces.

Assuming it does work OK with a file generated by Cumulus 1, then the floating point formatting routines in Delphi must work differently to those in .Net - Delphi truncates and .Net pads left with spaces.

Not sure what you are suggesting.

Sounds like you are saying that the same situation would have occurred with Cu1, which isn't the case.

Oh, just saw your 2nd response. So... you will do something about it?

I'll have a look at it to see what I can do.

If you change this line in the script:
to
it will split the string using one or more whitespace characters as delimiters.

Thanks for that.
I was just looking at the code and saw the $data = explode(' ',$file[0]); but was struggling to think how I could change it.
Will give it a try.

Update: Thanks, that worked great!
