How about a hamweather add on mod. I have the program all setup and working on my site but would love to have it fully integrated.

Marty it would depend on the program used.

Integrating it should not be that hard depending on what level.

http://www.steelheader.net/weather/hw3/hw3.php
is the direct link and it uses a header but would be nice if it could have selectable style sheets

program is free but database updates to make it work properly are 20 bucks for acess. Worth the money for what the program provides.

I would have to see the program to give you pointers but you could integrate it like I do with Photopost/Reviewpost. Have you tried that

Have you tried defining the user authenticate function in the new program and then setting the user stylesheet to $fstyle and then making the programs css link $fstyle.css

Chuck I haven't tried anything yet, I just got it up and running properly yesterday. They will be releasing a new php image addon shortly what would be a great addition to our pal boxes. It has lots of potential just thought I should share the program since my integrations skills are pretty limited and we have a great mind trust here.

that would be very useful for all sites whose activities are outdoor-related

Although not really an integration you could always wrap it with the generic page mod and it would still appear to be within the site.

That would be what I call BASIC INTEGRATION eric

Giving the appearance of being the same

If you have a weather station at your home, I would suggest ambient weather's software, I have it fully intergrated into my weather site at http://alawx.com I also own hamweather but never was able to get it setup the way I wanted.

I checked this out and it is pretty neat. If one made a generic page like eric said, can one put frames in it for the pages to run in?

an iframe statement would work

I don't know if it's just that Im use to how threads was written but it appears HamWeather is not that easy to convert over to a threads appearance bcause it wasn't written in PHP looks like it was converted to PHP because the templates are all .html's where I would expect .tmpl's and they are full html where I would expect php...

update was released for hamweather so it can use the upcoming images release.

Scroungr I agree

Okay I managed to wrap hamweather very easily.. using the generic page ONCE I added $threadsdevconfig=$config before the require to the hw3.php and then added $config=$threadsdevconfig after the require.. I also managed to create a Pal Box that only takes what I want to show and then gives a link to the new page..

Love to see it. The images addon isn't supported on my server so I need to wait on my host upgrade or move to new server.

I've had it ever since the php BETA version came out. Keep in mind now, I am NOT using the mysql db for hw data, and this is for the BETA version. I haven't done the final release yet. Drop the attached txt file into the root directory of your hw3 program. Rename the weather.txt to weather.php. Add the following to your languages/online.php file:

$ubbt_lang['weather'] = "Checking the weather";

That's it. Keep in mind that my hw is NOT in the same directory as my threads. Demo here : http://www.fish-tails.net/weather/weather.php

Quite simple, don't need anything else. The hw program sets cookies for saving the users prefs rather in a db. Enjoy.

Forgot to mention. If you want the users prefs to use the selectable css, you'll probably have to edit each of the html templates for hw. I only use one style sheet, so it was not a big deal to me.

One more thing, you have to edit hw3.ini.php line 7 to read something like this:
scripturl=weather.php
this is so all call are made to weather.php and not hw3.php .

yeah I made a pal version also. www.couch-tomatoe.cc

Very nice. Care to share?

I will have to write some instructions up but can do..

Thanks!

Cool guys I added a image forecast using a image includes that is from the old perlimage add on. But would probably work with the new phpimage add on. I will convert when I switch servers.

I would love to see your mod for the pal box. It looks good.

I am sure there are a few of us that would love it.

yeah, this is a great addon. I really the results. Does it allow registered members to keep their location current?
