I've reworked my moonphase code and (hopefully) we can now show a different image for each day of the moon-cycle.
Here are the images, as well as a bit of php code to display them.

Cheers.

Hi Graeme, I'd like to use the new way on my site, but i'm not clued up on what to do with php, so i wondered if you could guide me through it?

Regards.

PS: Good work!

Hi Mapantz,

If you're not using php, it can be done in javascript.

My javascript is very rudimentary, but this should work for you:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var Lat="<#latitude>";
var hemi=Lat.substr(0,1);
var imagen = "<#MoonAge>";
if (hemi=="S") imagen = (-imagen)+29;
document.write('<img src="/images/moon2/'+imagen+'.png"/>');
</script>

I've updated http://weather.gktnet.com/public/weather/moonphases2.zip to include this code.

I think its funny the time we spend doing tweaks to our weather pages
that 99% of visitirs will never notice ! But all part of the fun

Thanks for doing this. I really like these moon images.

The only thing I would mention in the text file is that the path of the imagefile may need to be changed to the include the subfolder that Cumulus is running under. I spent about an hour trying to determine why the image did not show.

I have my site running under .../Weather/index.htm, so I had to add /Weather to the code

document.write('<img src="Weather/images/moon2/'+imagen+'.png" alt="No Image" title="Moon is
