Sandaysoft

I have been playing around with the annual data summary. I would like to add summaries for windrun, windchill, and sunshine hours. I have tried to edit both the readDayfile.php and readDayfile.js using the following: ['sunhours','Sunshine','Hours of Sunshine',true],

I'm having the following problems:

I'm not sure what to put in the first element for the system variable . I'm just guessing when I use sunhours, windchill and windrun. Is there a list of the variables which correspond to each entry in the dayfile.txt?

Using what I have shown above, when I check the resulting web page, there is a button labeled Sunshine, a question mark above the table instead of Hours of Sunshine, and the values in the table are those from Max Temp. http://www.the-vermin.ca/silversprings/annualdata/datasummary.html

Apparently there is more to it than just adding one line to the readDayfile script. I know other users have been able to customize the information that is being displayed, but I'm not able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

I modified mine to display wind run, hi / lo pressure but deleted avg temp and min/max as displayed here: http://www.brisbaneliveweather.com/annual.php

I'm using the javascript version so I edited my readDayfile.js file with notepad ++ to look like this:
http://www.brisbaneliveweather.com/readDayfile.js

To add Rain Rate for example....
add this
['rainrate','Rain Rate','Daily Rain Rate (mm/hr)',true],

'rainrate' names the variable, 'Rain Rate' labels the button, and 'Daily Rain Rate (mm/hr)' is what is displayed above the table.

Then I had to add this line:
break;case'rainrate':tablelayout+=label_items[3][2];dayfilecol=12;

dayfilecol=12 points to the column number in the dayfile.txt file. (The first column in the dayfile.txt file is the 'date' column and is number 0, so Rain Rate in the dayfile.txt file is column 13, but 12 in the readDayfile.js )

To display a 'zero value' for the Rain Rate, I also modified this line and added:

if((parseFloat(wd_data[dayfilecol])==0)&&(dayfilecol==14||dayfilecol==1||dayfilecol==12)){$(data_cell).addClass('zerovalue');}}

Have a look at my readDayfile.js and have a play around and experiment. You should be able to add Sunshine Hours easy enough. Don't forget to make a back up of any files you are modifying, just in case.

I hope this helps.

I actually just realised that the scripts I included in the pack are slightly 'minified' so all the whitespace is removed making it very difficult to read and modify. I should upload full versions

Thanks Dan and David,

Dan, I had looked at your readDayfile previously when I was trying to figure this out. It was considerably different than the readDayfile I was attempting to edit, so I assumed that it had something to do with having a .js table in a .php page. That should give you an idea of the knowledge level I am dealing with here.

However, with the help of your explanation, I will have another look.

Thats true. David hadn't released his php version when I tried this but I am slowly converting my site to php. The js version was quick and dirty and works well so I left it as it was.

Hi guys.

have been trialling the summary and it works great on my site using the js. script ..

http://www.philcdav.webspace.virginmedi ... mmary.html

What i hoped to do was use the modified script to include pressure.

I replaced the script with Dans mod. but it failed to work at all, just gave blank fields.

Help please

Question -- you wanting Max or Min pressure for each day? Also, the pressure stored in the dayfile is Sea Level (just so you know!)

You have two different css files to edit

weathermain.css - shadowed-border - width: 850px (increase to suit)

datasummary.css - table_container - width: 840px (increase to suit)

Correct but this will only fit them across in one row. I want to add more labels so I need two rows please.
Thanks for help so far

Jenny, is this what you are looking for: Annual Weather Data Summary - I also have this stand-alone PHP script: Annual Weather Data Summary

Yes thats it. Lots of labels on more than 1 row.
Can Davids readDayfile.php be written so I may do this please.
I will attach it.
many thanks for your help

The beteljuice suggests ...

Where the humble <br /> is inserted is a cosmetic rather than logical decision ie. some button 'labels' will be long - some short, so doing a simple count (say 6 labels / line) won't necessarily look good.

You already have a "data available" array which contains field names, label names and a flag to create the button.

Why not create an additional flag to create 'a new line' following that button ?
Example: (Edit: a REMark in the middle of an array won't work )

Then add a line of code to make the menu construct look like this:

Should work, but I've got a few things wrong lately
