Title: Radar Implementation
Post by: avoorpool on August 09, 2012, 12:51:24 PM

Hi Jacques,

I managed to implement the EC radar image (from ec-radar.php script, Ken True).
See: http://altonaweather.ca/ecradar.php
However, I would like to implement a second image (National Radar) on the same page (template).
I've used your .PHP implementation like in WUforecast.php, however I can't get a second .PHP file on the same page.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

I don't know how you do it!

You have to be more specific to show, what you're doing:
- Which file your are using,
- Where do you "include" it?

Maybe a bit of code?

Regards,
Jacques

HI Jacques,

I have uploaded to webserver */radar/ the file ec-radar.php (downloaded from Ken True).
Modified the setting to WKR (= Ontario)
Modified my html file into: ecradar.php with the following code:
<h3 align="center"><u>Live Radar Update for South Western Ontario.</u></h3>
      <br />
      <?php
            // That is what we call a php file inclusion
            // WU forecast is takin place in that "hole" in your page
            include('ec-radar.php');
         ?>
      <br />
                  </div>

This image now shows perfectly in the WB template with address:
http://altonaweather.ca/ecradar.php

I would like to add another radar image which is setup in the file:ec-radarnat.php (also uploaded to the server directory */radar/ec-radarnat.php

The question is of how to combine both into the WB template (= ecradar.php) file.

thanks,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

I'll have to check your script, but usually, you just have to duplicate
"include" to achieve your goal.

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Since I'm not sure if it is possible to have 2 of the very same scripts running on the same page, I added a 2nd tab in the submenu: [Radar Ontario] and [Radar Canada]
In this way it's clearly divided and the Canada Radar (ec-radar-NAT.php) is a nice cliackable map where you can select every radar station in the country to see a detailed radar map..  :)
On days like this (and the coming weekend) it's good to see these images, since we've already had >55mm of rain so far.....It looks like there is more to come...

Have a nice weekend,

Cheers,
Arthur
