WeatherHarvest BETA v0.7.0 - Ready! |
|
seventhseal
writes "Weatherharvest BETA v0.7.0
What's new?
Now that I've gotten over killing databases, I've gotten down to some real data collection and a few bugs.- Fixed parsing errors
in index.php
- Added NOAA BUOY Marine Data for the WORLD! (HUGE addition, pretty cool) There is an initialization table
upgrade from 0.5.0 to 0.7.0
- Added Weather Summaries - NOAA lists summaries for selected cities throughout the world. This simple
routine allows you to see the collected data for those specified regions
- Added Canada to the list of weather cities. No radar
yet, but it is coming!
Installation Instructions
Power users - if you want to upgrade - you can! If you have successfully
installed BETA 0.4.0, you may apply WHUpgrade0-4to0-5.sql. If you have successfully
installed BETA 0.5.0 you may apply WHUpgrade0-5to0.7.sql.
Apply the rest of the code in it's respective location as with previous installs.
Just to be SAFE! The zip file provided is based on a directory structure "/www/phpnuke6.5/...". This is what the development
machine is. Future PROD zips will start from "html" under your particular PHPNuke version.
Steps to success:- Unzip and copy files to their correct locations in your PHPNuke site
- CHMOD the "modules/WeatherHarvest/cache"
directory to 777
- Apply the WeatherHarvest0-7.sql file AND WeatherHarvestMORE0-7.sql. It is applied through the mySQL command line or through an admin tool such as phpMyAdmin. This file will wipe
old databases, and create new ones.
- IMPORTANT: Before activating your block and module, you must go through your admin panel and set up your defaults in
the initialization table. All paths are based on "root" and must have a trailing '/' You'll receive errors if they are entered wrong.
Your cache paths from "root" should all be the same. If you are a power user, you can set up a seperate cache path for radar images.
- Note: Cache timeout is for cleanup and regeneration of data files. NOAA typically updates every 30 minutes unless
a significant event is taking place.
- HTTP protocol is the preferred. If you choose FTP, you could experience a "slow" site.
I give you the lodaed gun - use it wisely!
- Once you have successfully saved your initialization data, activate your block
and module. You may place the module in your "links" block, as it now has menu options for users.
- At this time, you may want to set up your
default site city. You perform this through the admin panel.
A quick note about root paths Keep in mind that the root
path of an Operating System and the root path of PHPNuke are very different things.
When trying to find the root path of your hosting Operating System, you need to
telnet to the system, change directories to '/' ('' for Windows systems), and
then progress until you are back at your sites home directory. The root directory
of your PHPNuke install will minimally be the home directory of your site (where
you are when you first log-in to your telnet session). I know this can be confusing,
and it's certainly not easy to explain - but it makes a HUGE difference in your
ability to read/write to various directories in your site path.
BUG Reports and Wish lists
Let me know what's going on! Use the forum at www.ibdeeming.com to report all issues or make
suggestions. Anyone who's worked with me in the past knows I'm pretty wide open!
What's Next
I have begun the design and initial work on the following:
- Looping Radar
- WeatherHarvest Block ADMIN
- More radar images in the database - they're not all there because it's a
manual entry process, and very boring!
- Admin functions for the weather stations
- Zip code support
- Weather forecasts
Nothing is in any particular
order, and again, feel free to post your wish lists!
THANKS!
Thanks for using this "add-on" I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it!
