Cumulus Support

Its changed to first quarter, waxing cresent picture not changed yet to first quarter. All pictures in moon directory have chmod 666.

I need to see what is being uploaded in moonphasetag.php but I have tested the following MoonPercent values

48% = Waxing Crescent
49% = First Quarter
50% = First Quarter
51% = Waxing Gibbous

which matches what Cumulus MX is saying in the webtags and as I pointed out to what is Topic https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=13983

So whats the verdict then please......

I need to see what is being uploaded in moonphasetag.php

Unless I can see this file I cannot help, but I know others are using this with no problem, so I can only surmise that the php file tag is not being updated correctly.

I have local filename moonphasetagT.txt to remote filename /var/www/moonphasetag.php and process is only ticked.

I have ticked realtime in extra web files and it's updated itself.

So is it processing it correctly and what does /var/www/moonphasetag.php contain?

/var/www/moonphasetag.php

<?php

$MoonPercent = "60"; // current percentage of moon visible -- negative value = 'waning'
$latitude = "N&nbsp;52&deg;&nbsp;37'&nbsp;32""; // station latitude

?>

Ok 60% in the N is Waxing Gibbous which is what it is showing.

Hi there,

maybe a silly question:
In the original first release post (post 10 on Topic Page 1) it is stated, that this code is both for HTML or PHP users.
I have tried it some months ago until I learned, that my website does not support php at all which was the reason that it didn't work for me, therefore I gave up.
I know almost nothing about php or HTML, but what would I have to do in such a case. Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Hi Wilfried

Maybe this is what you might be after? https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... ase#p65438

I knew nothing about PHP back then (I still don't know anything if i'm honest ) anyway, GraemeT kindly did a Javascript way of showing the moon and it's phases, which I used on my site back in 2012. I recently got my site back online after some time away, and I started using the same way again on my new site, as it has been flawless for me. The link still works to download all of the moon phase icons: http://weather.gktnet.com/public/weathe ... hases2.zip

There's also a text file in the zip to show you how to add, either the PHP code or Javascript to your site.

Cool - thanks a lot for this hint - I'll give it a try asap.

Hopefully I don't need too much help in addition

Thanks again,

Wilfried

Super ! Tried your solution this evening and it works great!!
The moon picture looks really nice and and the implementation doesn't need to link to an external website (which may be offline eventually) ...
Moreover the picture isn't a black disk on a black background at new moon as in the other solutions mentioned in this thread.

Thanks a lot again !

Hi there - still I'm REALLY HAPPY with the MOON PICTURE.

Everything seems to work perfect .. I just noticed one minor detail ... two questionmarks in the left top edge (see screenshot).
They came with the insertion of the moon picture javascript (and can be removed again when removing the code snippet).

I tested, what might be the reason and found out, that inserting only the few lines

<td rowspan="3">
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</td>

which are obviously doing nothing results in the question marks being created.

Not that this is a real problem but I would like to know the reason behind or what is going wrong ...

Any ideas ?

Wilfried

I think you may have accidentally pasted an unknown character or space in there by mistake?
If you open up your indexT.htm on your side, put your cursor just before <td and press delete until the empty space has gone, then press tab to indent the line again.

hmmm, don't think so.

I have done as you suggested, thanks for the quick response, but it didn't help.

In addition I found out, that the code in indexT.htm seems to be clean:
but after indexT.htm being processed by CumulusMX, the output in index.htm which is uploaded to the web site looks as follows:
(screenshots taken with the editor Notepad++)

hey - what happened ?!?!?

I have been out of the room for a few minutes and the question marks disappeared ?!?!

Maybe you have been right and with my file editing in order to get the screen shots I have fixed the problem without noticing ?
( I have used the function "convert tabs into spaces" in Notepad++ for example.

Anyway the problem's gone - thanks a lot for your help!
