Geeklog Forums

Hi all, I am a new user and just downloaded the weather block. How do you install it? I didn't see any install instructions. Thank

The Weather block is a PHP block. You need to add the phpblock function code to your lib-custom.php file: function phpblock_getweather () { global $_CONF; $path = $_CONF['path_html'] . "weather"; include_once($path . "/display_weather.php"; $display = getweather(); return $display; } After you've added the code to lib-custom, create the PHP block from the block admin. The PHP block should call the function phpblock_getweather.

I live in a rural Alabama town and I can not get the weather block to get my city. I wrote a simple PHPblock to pull images off the weather site of our local TV station. function phpblock_weather () { $retval .= "<img src=\""; $retval .= "http://files.raycommedia.com/waff/weather_images/temps.jpg\" width=170"; $retval .= "\">"; return $retval; } ?> You place this at the end of your lib-custom.php file. Also you would need to find the picture of your local weather of your choice. ----- "This is my router this is my switch. One is for routing but I don't know which."

What about the sql file. Do I create a new database or add it as a table to the geeklog database? Thanks again for any help

I am not pulling any info from the database. You can look at my site at Career Academy

Ok...I got everything working except in guest view...no weather info shows up. It works great when logged in as a user but not when your a guest. I tried setting the default settings in the database for the guest user but the info still doesn't show up. Helllppppp Thanks again for all the great support your giving. Cregar

How do you set the default for users? I know that they can set it themselves, but how do you set one for people who haven't set it, yet? Visitors and people without their default set get a link to a nonexistent image file and a -18 degrees celcius reading.

It's in the data... There should be a record in your weather table with a sbgdefault = 1: SELECT * FROM weather where sbgdefault = 1; The weather block will use this record for all anonymous users.
