New Saratoga AJAX/PHP template plugin for WeatherCat now available

[saratogaWX]

My thanks to Dave of parsonsweather.com for contributing his mod to have the wxtrends.php page work with WeatherCat.

I've done several mods to his code, fixed a few PHP 8+ issues and released the WCT-plugin.zip for saratoga templates today (6-Jul-2026) in the distribution. 

Saratoga users should use the update tool with a query of *-base, WeatherCat plugin, 06-Jul-2026 to fetch the updated files. 
Note that the distribution has a Settings-weather.php in it which you don't have to use (see below for the change needed)
Also a new template/WCTtags.php is required (for the variables used in the wxtrends.php. 
Have WeatherCat use the new template file and wait for it to upload.

Change your Settings-weather.php to un-comment the line

Code: [Select]

//$SITE['trendsPage']     = 'WCT-trends-inc.php'; // WCT-specific trends page

Then change the line in flyout-menu.xml from

Code: [Select]

<item wxonly="WD,MB,MH,CU,WEEWX" caption="Weather Trends" link="wxtrends.php"/> to

Code: [Select]

<item wxonly="WD,MB,MH,CU,WEEWX,WCT" caption="Weather Trends" link="wxtrends.php"/> and the wxtrends.php menu item should show in your flyout menu.

Ken, thank you again for continuing your support of WeatherCat and assistance with a few php8 issues I was having.

I'm glad you could use and update the wxtrends script I modded for WeatherCat use with the Saratoga template.
