I am working on the Leuven template.
Note that Mr. van der Kuil has many of the parts of his full Template as stand-alone pieces (click the left, white tab). I use his NOAA Forecast and the Meteoalarm scripts, for example.
As discussed earlier, it is easier to install the complete Template starting with release 2.8. All settings are done with Q&A and most answers are either from a selection box, or there is a detailed description where to find the info. After a one-time installation
any complete page or part or component of the template can be used in one's own website.
Example this the earthquake script on my website:
http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/index.php?p=Earthquakes&lang=enIf I wanted to use that same page in another website , I would define a iFrame and use the same link with one additional field:
http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/index.php?p=Earthquakes&lang=en&ipadAnd the result: There are no menus,banners, messages whatsoever. Only the main part resides.
There will be no newly developed stand-alone scripts from me, and although the current stand-alone scripts are still available, the best way to go is to use the template to load the needed scripts in your own website. With one installation
all available scripts can be used. If one does not want realtime data, there is no upload from WeatherCat needed.
Another example, you want to use the Davis console: upload of weather-data is necessary to get this:
http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/index.php?p=console&lang=en&ipadThe green colors and box is CSS. One time change to fit into your website.
Disadvantages when using stand-alone scripts:
1. Every script needs some, often the same settings, done in PHP
2. For every script the same CSS changes has to be made to blend the script in your own web-site
3. Every script needs to be maintained
And it is far easier to give support as the scripts inside your own website can be tested by me in your (hidden) template environment.
