WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Hi Ken,
I have seen BCJKiwi's script and have asked him about his layout. He says I need to upgrade my WU-forecast.php script to v1.31.
I have looked all over your Website, your Twitter, WXForum and Sandaysoft but I can't find it.
Please help,
Thanks
Will

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
That's because my most current release of WU-forecast.php is Version 1.30- 01-Jun-2012
I'd been playing with a V1.31 to handle the some funny PHP pcre misfires, but it's not quite ready for distribution. V1.30 is working fine for most sites as far as I can tell.
Is there a specific issue you are looking for V1.31 to solve on your website?
Best regards,
Ken

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Hi Ken,
Yes, there is. The layout BCJKiwi has got. I like how he has his day forecasts on the top row and his night forecast on the bottom row. Apparently, this can only be accomplished with v1.31.
Thanks for your help.

Ah, well he has modified the script in other ways to produce the result. That's a fine idea, and perfectly reasonable.Will Grimsley wrote:Hi Ken,

The only downside is if the script needs changes in the future (due to WU website changes), you'll need to fix it yourself.
The WU-forecast.php script is considered a 'Replace old script with new copy' by the updates utility since most folks do not modify the script if they are using the template set.
So.. if you change the stock script, then you support it and no questions will be entertained about why your modified copy doesn't work sometime in the future. That's the rule of 'your code, you fix it'.
Enjoy...
Ken

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Hi Ken,
Ok, thanks. So, this means if I change it, I have to keep on changing it as updates come along?
So, there is no point updating WU-forecast.php, until v1.31 is available.
Thanks for your help.

1) all my code is free, and you are free to modify it as you see fit.
2) I only provide support for my code, not for any of my code you modify
3) if you modify my script(s), then you are responsible for all future maintenance of the scripts with your modifications
4) questions about why a modified script no longer functions (or does not work as expected) are not likely to be answered
Short form: you are free to modify my scripts, but if you do, then you assume sole support for the modified script.

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Ken,
Somehow I received your script v1.31 but I'm not sure how since it is not on your site anywhere and does not appear to be in any of the .zip downloads from your update site.
I had assumed it was the current script when discussing my changes with Will.
I did indicate he should update as I just wanted to be sure that as I had it working on 1.31, that I did not want any 'gotchas' arising from the differences between 1.30 and 1.31.
I applied all my mods to 1.31 using diffmerge and it runs fine. I have had no issues with 1.30 or 1.31.
I have checked further and find all the changes you made in 1.31 are in a different area from any of the mods I have made.
Would you recommend I revert to 1.30 or leave in the 1.31. changes?

There are only 4 differences in the pcre request options on preg_match/preg_match_all trying to slice/dice the return page from WU.BCJKiwi wrote:Ken,

When we'd talked earlier about issues with WU-forecast, I'd suggested you try the pre-release V1.31 with the new pcre options and that seemed to work .. I don't think you need to revert to V1.30, but I would be interested in seeing your two-row day/night forecast mods .. it looks like that may be a popular option to use. So.. if you'd send me your script, I'll see about incorporating it into a final V1.31 release and others could share in your bounty
Best regards,
Ken

Ken,
Sent you a pm with the file and explanation of what I was trying to achieve and how I managed the subset of that which can be seen on the website.
Appreciate your interest.

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
The Latest 'News" I received with my current WU-Forecast script is a message that this script can not be used (although I has run with no problems for a long time...)
See attached message that is displayed.
Is Wunderground 'fooling' around again with changing their layout?????
Does anyone has the same message??
Thanks
Arthur

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Hi Arthur,
Yes, I am having the same problem at my end. It looks like WU have made some changes to their website when the WU-forecast.php script went down.
Currently on the WU-forecast.php script, it says you need to update the script... but because there isn't any update available to support this, you can't.
So, it looks like we'll have to wait for Ken to tweak the script in order to accommodate these changes.
Also, this is temporary until Ken fixes it.
Hope this helps...
Will

Re: WU-forecast.php Script v1.31?
Hi Will,
Thanks for the message.
A while ago I saw a similar 'surprise' from WU, suddenly changing the Temp from Celsius into Fahrenheit.
Lasted a day before it changed again.
Hopefully this will resolve itself as well
Cheers,
Arthur
