I'm getting successful enough to start trying some very minor modifications. :o I'm going to edit the /partners/partners.txt file to see if I can get a different page to display.
Following the almost line-by-line instructions, I have two "Partners" image links in the "You find our weather info also at:" section of the page. They are Weather Underground and Citizen Weather Observation Program. The WU link opens a page with my data in a standard WU display. That's fine.
However, the CWOP link opens a window with a display of my registration data, APRS info, and very little actual weather info. The info comes from the 'gladstonefamily.net' server. It is useful to weather station owners, but not so much people just wanting to get current Wx and/or forecasts. I'd rather have the CWOP display that comes from 'findu' domain, assuming that is in keeping with their TOS.
I changed he following in /partners/partners.txt:$arrPartners[$name]['href'] =
"http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/".$arrPartners[$name]['id'];
to: "http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=".$arrPartners[$name]['id']."&last=12";
This 'hardwires' the last 12 hours of data on the display. Removing the ."&last=12" lets the display revert to the last 5 days version. There is actually no change in the historical time frames available, the setting simply pre-selects one of the choices available.
These edits don't change the only warning I have up to this point. That warning will be cleared, I think, in a future part of the instructions on how to assign multiple counties in the NWS weather warnings. The error reads:"nws-alerts: Checking more than four warning/county codes can delay the loading of your pages. You should use a cron job to get the data." I'm not worrying about it, right now. It can also be hidden when I change the background-color...
Question: Am I going to find that this screws up something later on in the template?

Your question: CWOP:
As I am not familiar with CWOP I can not assist you with that. This page is build as asked by users of the Template, based on what they are used to.
If you give me an URL to sites / pages how you would like to have it, I will try to add that. But you are totally free to modify the scripts to your liking.
Your question: NWS: That message comes from the Curly-NWS scripts. They warn you that you should choose:
1. To use less county/cities in the warnings
or
2: Use a cron job. There is a readme which describes the need for cron
weather2/nws-alerts/NWS-alerts_read_me.html
My question 1: I am one of the last humans who is not a clairvoyant. So if you need support, please always supply an URL to your website.
There is no globe under your avatar, so there is no way I can check your pages (CWOP this time) with the demo site to see what you want to accomplish. Or give you a clickable link to the nws readme. It will save both of us some time.
My question 2: Can you please post questions about the template at the WeatherCat Web Templates board? (http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?board=5.0) It was now posted under a board I never visited "WeatherCat Integration"
By posting questions in "WeatherCat Templates", I am warned by the systyem automatically that there is maybe a new topic regarding the template.
