Title: WeatherCat Weather Data not current
Post by: Hugh Whalen on May 18, 2022, 08:55:36 PM

I am using the Saratoga templates. When I click on Status I get the following. Any idea on what is going on here?

It's hard to tell from just an image, but I think it's a mismatch between what WeatherCat uses for date format and what the template is expecting.

In Settings.php, there is the entry:

Code: [Select]

$SITE['WDdateMDY'] = false; // for weather software date format of month/day/year.  =false for day/month/year
If your date looks like day/month/year in WCTtags.php?sce=dump, then =false; is the one to use.
otherwise, set it to =true;

It also assumes that the date delimiter is either a / - or . but the order is MDY or DMY.

I can't tell more without a link to a public URL to your weather website...

Hope this helps...

Thanks, Hugh.

In your WCTtags.php?sce=view, I spy your Date as

Code: [Select]

da|05/18/22|// Date in the format of month/day/year:|:and that is what is in $WX['da'] which WCT-defs.php puts into the $date variable.
In your Settings.php, you have

Code: [Select]

$SITE['WDdateMDY'] = false; // for weather software date format of month/day/year.  =false for day/month/year
which doesn't match the month/day/year format.. change that to

Code: [Select]

$SITE['WDdateMDY'] = true; // for weather software date format of month/day/year.  =false for day/month/year and that should fix the issue in wxstatus.php display of the age of the weather data.

Thank you for keeping us straight on your template, Ken! You (along with several other folks providing external services) have been an asset to the WeatherCat community!
