upgrading to php

[shapka]

                                           Hi Jacques (once agn)

Now that I have played about with html template although not to successful having looked at other members webpages I like the look of the php version.

   Now comes inevitable question on ur html template instructions it was quite clear on extraction which files went where either to the internet or to the programme cumulus. however I am total unsure on wxtraction where the files all go to enable my website to up ad run.

finally re my previous query about remote files I still haven't worked it out I think its cos I did not configure my directories in my web space right so I am thinking of deleting everything and start agn with ur php template.

                                    Plse Help I understand that im coming more like a full time job for u

                                                             cheers Shapka

Hi Shapka,

You could first check templates on the site. All templates
have its own detailed "installation guide", so you could start
by seeing if it sound not too complicated for you.

A small thing that you need to solve before, is where to put
your optional files like the system.htm page that caused
you some headache. Php templates are based on this optional
files processing in Cumulus.
So, take a look... and do your classes! 

Regards,
Jacques

do you have instructions on your website for installing PHP and javascript in a suitable way to work with your PHP templates? the "information" page for Weather Blue 2 starts by saying there was a previous page of instructions.
thanks so much,
michael

Hi!
Also I am new to php. I have managed my weathersite in html since june 2009. Well, at least cumulus did. It has run by itself quite free from problems but I have thought for a while that it's boring and "same old, same old".

I have never done anything in php and I don't understand it. I have to agree with the post-owner that the guide starts with

"information" page for Weather Blue 2 starts by saying there was a previous page of instructions.

But somehow I found that previous page and in my opinion, I have done exatly as the guide says, and still I cant get Weather Eden to work.

First:
Wich files should be on the harddrive among with what?
Clean installation of cumulus and all of its folders? Where to put Weather Eden files?

Second:
Is it only 2 weather eden files being processed by cumulus?
How should the foldertree look like on the server?

A small thing that you need to solve before, is where to put
your optional files like the system.htm page that caused
you some headache. Php templates are based on this optional
files processing in Cumulus.

<--- What do you mean?

Sorry for stupid questions, but I hope you can enlight me. ( As I were 6 years old  )

Hi Glen,

Templates are simple "throw it in your website". All files and folders are already
set in the .zip file. So unzip it in a distinct folder somewhere in your pc and take
the whole bunch to your website with your favorite Ftp program.

Then, in your Pc, you still have all those files, including the 2 data files needed
to be processed by Cumulus: wt_data_inc.php and wt_month_inc.php

Problem solved!

On my server, I found a setting to show php error-messages. I switched it on, and suddenly a message occured like "error php bla bla bla string 596 etc etc" .
I found it, and recnogized it as an url to a webcam that cumulus write as original in the software. I deleted it and "voila", there it was! 

But i wonder if the language cant change in the top menu "Now Today Yesterday" and so on?

Thanks for your nice template work!

----
Whats this?

Warning: include(wt_months_inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /customers/8/7/1/samone.se/httpd.www/cumulus1/multirecords.php on line 26 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'wt_months_inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /customers/8/7/1/samone.se/httpd.www/cumulus1/multirecords.php on line 26

The font and size of it is also NOT the same as the other pages.
---------
Is there a way to put things in sidebar (weather eden) in only one file or do I have to copy/paste same code in all today, yesterday and so on?

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Glenn,

For menu language, no, there is no translation for these words.
(I'm always having a plan to "upgrade" translations... but time!)

For warning messages, page are looking to include file wt_months_inc.php
(see spelling with an "s" as processed file name)

For side column, it was planned to be different from page to page,
so no "include" was used.

Jacques
