Hi Jacques,
I know I might be "ahead of the game", but I'd like to know how I can add more tabs to the current ones I have.
I can "shrink" the existing ones and add 1 or 2 tabs, but that wil probably make the text too small, too little to read :D
I've seen Weather Blues sites with a 2nd row of tabs, or..............is it just a matter of having patience and wait for V2 (with drop down menus)...??
Thanks,
Arthur

HI Jacques,
In addition to previous thread, a bit more information.
I would like to add a page with N-America, Canada and zoomed Toronto area radar images.
For now, can I add a page without showing it in the tabs??
i.e http://altonaweather.ca/radar.htm (http://altonaweather.ca/radar.htm) with a link on one of the other pages, but this (radar) page (tab) will not be shown in the exiting header (tabs)
Thanks,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
So manny pages!! Are you still a weather station... or plan to challenge Weather Network? :lol: :lol:
I agree with you that your menu is pretty full, you couldn't shrink it more, to still be
readable! Surely a solution could be to duplicate menu bar, but that solution is... so so!
As you mentionned, it would be more wise to prepare your new page, but wait to include it
on new v2 template. ;)
I'm working on so many things at a time, but all have to be in place!
- Meteo du Quebec's forum restructuration (thanks to virusdunil help)
- Weather sky final release and its documentation. (finishing today)
- Weather Blues v2 (work to do: 2 days)
- Move english content from Météo du Québec to Weather by You!
- Finish EC module in 2 versions
Then, you see I'm pretty buzy! But if things goes well, Weather Blues v2 will be
available early next week.
A thing that could help me, if you had some time to "approve" my documentation
for Weather Sky (I work on last page, 80% done), I'll be free to work on Weather
Blues v2 this week-end. LinK: http://weatherbyyou.com/ws_sheet.php (http://weatherbyyou.com/ws_sheet.php)
EDIT: 100% done, at noon! :D
Then, a lot of stuff for next days!
Regards,
Jacques
Ps. I'll be glad if you could be more critic on my English! :oops:

Hi Jacques,
There's a lot on your plate!!!!!!!
I'll be happy to check on the Weather Sky template. What I've seen so far is pretty well done!! Easy to understand in a step-by-step way.
AS for your English, don't worry too much about it.
As long as the essance of your explanation is good to understand (which always is the case) it serves the purpose and that's to explain of how to implement the template on the web (and the different steps to do so).
IF you want me to so, I'll check it completely over the next day (Saturday), and will copy/paste in a Word document some of the grammar corrections.
D'accord??
Cheers,
Arthur
PS: At the moment I'll make a direct link on my first page [RADAR] which will open the [link] page in which the radar image is displayed. I have the image and link to Wunderground radar but it doesn't "run"....Just a "static" image......
Maybe have a look :D :D
Thanks
-
HI Jacques,
I figured it out with the Wunderground Radar image.
Put a link in [now] page to [links] for the time being.
Once more pages become available (V2) the radar section will get its own page with other temp/UV etc etc country-wide overviews.
Cheers,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
New pages are going real good! :D
For English "corrections", I wasn't thinking about grammar! I think almost
having the right word (ex. then/than, there/they"re). "Anglos" could read it
because fault is small and they replace wrong word in their head with right one.
I'm in a small town with no chance to practice... I've worked at Montreal
during 7 years, but never had chance to practice neither... Then, with only
readings opportunity, I've talk/write as a 5 year boy! :lol:

Jacques...welcome aboard,we're in the same boat :lol:

HI Jacques,
After my "battle" with RecordT and related issues kept me swearing and sweating behind my PC till 3:45am, I'll have a look as soon as I've followed your instructions in regards to the new Record page :D
Keep in mind that English is NOT my "mother-tongue" either......... :roll: :roll:
Born and raised in The Netherlands, I arrived in Canada 12 years ago..
Having said that, English is the official 2nd language in Holland and practically all Dutch speak it better than they play soccer :roll: :D :lol:
(I started in grade 3, did an official language course in Cambridge, UK for 3 month after high school (my parents' s opinion was that English was just as important as to get your drivers license :lol: ) so all and all I'll give it a try to make Weather Sky's template in this way OK.. :roll:
Cheers,
Arthur

About the new tab...yours is pretty complete...i guess...
Ive added a second row on my site just for the maps... im working on that ;)
-
Hi Arthur,
I've thinked about that a few, and what do you think of it?
Duplication of menu bar is not very "stylish", instead prepare to v2
by "grouping" pages. In WB2, you won't have more place on the menu bar
to add new items "in-line", you'll have to group pages!
Then: now, today and yesterday could be grouped under "Recents"... and so on!
As menu are independant from page to page, you just have to add a "Home" item
to return to return to main page (index.htm)
By this you prepare to V2, and could add brand new (sub) menus all over!
Just an idea!
Jacques
-
HI Jacques,
Sounds like a good plan (I've seen it in your beta version of WB2.)
However, HOW do I "group" pages like [now], [today], [yesterday] into 1 [home] group...???
And if so, how will it be displayed (I probably have to add somekind of a "drop-down" menu element..???
Thanks,
Arthur
-
Hi Arthur,
Could be something like this: (yellow is for new item)
[attachment=0:p3mz872u]bew_menu.jpg[/attachment:p3mz872u]
All htm page menu is independant, then remove item you want (the <li>...</li> ).
In today and yesterday keep only <li>...</li> index, today, and yesterday
(But NOW "title" have to be changed to HOME!)

Hi Jacques,
Looks great to me...!!!!! WAUW....!!
1) Where does the 2nd menu bar comes from??? (create a new "id_buttons"....???)
2) I forgot how to change the [tab] size / font. I remember I changed something in a .css file, but where (anyhow, that's for later to perfect display again, after I figured out the 2md bar.. :D )
Cheers,
Arthur
-
HI Jacques,
Figured it out by checking the "source" on http://www.meteohebertville.com (http://www.meteohebertville.com)
Now.......this will keep me busy for Sunday!!!!!
Question remains (once I'm done) where to adjust [tab] size and fonts....
Thanks,
Arthur
-
For now,ill keep v1 for my cumulus display and continue messing around with this V1 :lol:
Ill install /adapt V2 for Weather Display ;)
-
Hi Arthur,
You have to check style.css file, to find this:
#buttons a {
...
font-size: 18px;
padding-top: 20px;
...
}
and for space between them:
.but {
padding: 0px 10px;
}

Hi Jacques,
I'm on my way...!!!!!
However, when the website is opened, it shows 2 [tab] lines.....
How do I separate, so when initial [home] page is displayed, I see only 1 row, and when I click on [recent] it opens the second row?????
So far so good.......
I want ot separate "local information" (area links, images etc) from the actual weather information, so this gives a good opportunity to make a [tab] AREA with all related info (and not in 1 page [links]....
Cheers,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
For your index page, you have to define you new menu
with categories: (the principle)
A - B - E - I - J - K pages
first submenu:
B - C - D pages
Second sub menu
E - F - G - H pages
Then for ALL "B" Group, you have to change each and every page menus
for this 2 rows of menus.
A - B - E - I - J - K pages
B - C - D
for ALL "E" Group, the same thing:
A - B - E - I - J - K pages
E - F - G - H
and so on, for all your pages.
(No need to change "NOW' for "HOME" page if doing 2 rows)
Regards,
Jacques

HI Jacques,
I came a "long" way I guess.......
However, 2 questions remain:
1) I've renamed my [images] tab into Area Info (want to have 2nd row for non-weather only)
So far so good.......
However, when I click on [Area Info] it automatically opens the [images] page.
I'm adding some links as well, so I want to open with [home] and then select which page to see.
Same for [recent].
When I click on [recent] it opens automatically with [today] although there are tabs with [home] [today] [yesterday] [live radar]
What do I change to open the second row with [home]...??
2) Of course I keep a "sharp" eye on the validation since the changes.....
Guess what: Suddenly all these changes introduce 1 error (see attachment)
It seems I can't use the <id_button> twice???
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
That you want is a dynamic menu in javascript, can't do that in pure html!
That's why my solution was to swap ONE menubar depending on page.
You know now, a <a href"..." tag is a "Go To Page", then you couldn't stay
at that page and only open 2nd menubar (1 or 2 menu is the same)... without javascript (or Php)!
For javascript menus, see: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/)

Hi Jacques,
I can live with it for now (when a visitor clicks on [recent] it's obvious he/she is interested in recent information, so when it opens directly in [today] the info is actually quite recent........ :D :D :D
Cheers,
Arthur

Finally...ive modded all my pages with the new set of tabs between 3 towing calls
also added 3 real gauges on main page but ill change them for another model,maybe the linear's one with LEDs...http://http://www.wilmslowastro.com/steelseries/demoLinear.html
-
Looks great.....but...... :D :D
The first page doesn't "scroll" when I use my mouse wheel....???
Same with original gauges page (with implemented Cumulus Realtime)..
How come..???
Cheers,
Arthur
(My new tabs are on the way, one more final adition to make for today..!!)
-
ehhhhh thats a good one :shock:
its working on my side :roll:
for cumulus realtime,i forgot to remove the link ,its been removed,
ive cheked all my pages and all i can say is they are all working with the mouse scroll
ehhhhhhhhhh...Same with original gauges page (with implemented Cumulus Realtime)..where did you see that link ????
hummmm
-
Just checked it a minute ago, and the first page and gauges do not scroll by mouse. I have to use the slider.
Other pages are OK.
Cheers,
Arthur
-
humm...any clue ??
its scrolling normally on my laptop and main computer...and also on the basement's computer.
could it be a script file that can do that ? like a gauge script ? since gauges are on those pages...
what browser do you use ?...i have checked with IE,Firefox and Chrome and all ok :?
-
It really is kind of weird, since all your other pages scroll normal (so it's not my mouse :D ).
Is there in any way a "lock" that might be on the page somewhere.
I've noticed this from the beginning, when you had at first the Cumulus Realtime page connected to the gauges page. (The Cumulus Realtime page doesn't scroll here either, so there might be a "left-over" from that still on your gauges page after you removed the Cumulus Realtime...???? Do you have the original gauges-ss file from before you added the Cumulus Realtime?? Just check if there's any difference....
That's all I can think of..
Cheers,
Arthur
-
Please try de gauge page ;)
-
well...ive tried to visit my website on my cell phone,GalaxyS and guess what...the web pages are not scrollable (the same mentioned above)
shish :?
-
Avoorpool...
i think ive found it.
please chek it out :mrgreen:
and if it works on your side ill tell you what was wrong :lol:
-
PERFECT..!!!
Works well.
What was the problem (just curious!!)
Cheers,
Arthur
-
Hi Jacques,
With all the modificationsin in the menu and sub-menu bars, fortunately I'm back to the "green" (= W3C validation) stamp for all pages (including the ones with 2 menu bars!!!!)
Cheers,
Arthur
-
The problem was in the ''head'' tags.i cant tell what was it precilely but,ive copied the head from another page and passed it in index.html.after that ive copied the needed scripts for the gauges and it did the trick ;)
