Hi

I am not on a computer that has ICQ or MSN! It is hard for to know what is wrong without seeing the USERCP, I know it something simple, I just can not guess! Let try to install MSN, as I think they don't want me installing ICQ, be back in a second!

Update to display forum home view (Jul 15, 9:47 PM EDT)

This is the update for the forum home weather view....

This can be done many ways but I think I will only do it one way, so that this final update that will support the AdminCP addon that I will release to control the weather system....

Lets begin.....

(1)

Go to Languages & Phrases >> Phrase Manager

In the Phrase Type selectbox, select 'Posting'

When it changes, select pages '9/10'

in the list below you should see 'weather_none'

Delete it!!!!

When the page reloads, click the button 'Add New Phrase'

Make sure you are still in 'Posting'

Then add the new phrase below...

Code:

Phrase Type: Posting

Varname: weather_none_one

value....

copy below this line....
<span align="center">--<font color="ff0000"> NO FORECAST SELECTED </font>--
<br />
<br />
Use the Forecast Options below to configure your weather display
<br />
<br />
--<font color="ff0000"> NO FORECAST SELECTED </font>--</span>
copy above this line....

Click 'Save'

When the page reloads, , click the button 'Add New Phrase'

When that page loads, change the Phrase Type to 'GLOBAL' in the selectbox

Then add the new phrase below...

Code:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Varname: weather_none_two

value....

copy below this line....
<span class="smallfont"><font color="ff0000">--</font> no forecast location has been configured, click the weather icon to the left to select one <font color="ff0000">--</font></span>
copy above this line....

No go to 'Styles & Templates' >> Search in templates >> search for 'FORUMHOME'

open 'FORUMHOME'

Then find the following....

Code:

<head>

right below that add....

// change the url to the url you are using

Code:

  <if condition="$show['forecast']"><if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/forecast/css/main.css" />
</if></if>

Now go almost to the bottom of 'FORUMHOME'

Find what is below....

Code:

</table>
<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

Right above the '</table>' add what is below...

Code:

<!-- the weather condition -->
  <if condition="$show['forecast']"><if condition="$forecast_home['location']!='0'">$forecast_home[data]<else /><tbody>
   <tr>
    <td class="thead" colspan="2"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_weather')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_weather" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_weather].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$vbphrase[local_weather]</td>
   </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_weather" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_weather]">
   <tr>
    <td class="alt2"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather"><img border='0' src='$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/weather.gif' alt='$vbphrase[local_weather]' /></a></td>
    <td class="alt1" width="100%" align="center"><div class="smallfont" align="center">$forecast_home[data]</div></td>
   </tr>
  </tbody></if></if>
<!-- / the weather condition -->

Save...

Now go back to Styles & Templates >> Styles Manager

Use the selectbox, for the style you are adding the weather system to....

Scroll UP >> select >> Add New Template

Then add the following template....

Code:

Title = current_weather_two

template value.....

copy what is below this line...
<tbody>
 <tr>
  <td class="thead" colspan="2"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_weather')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_weather" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_weather].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>$tpl[location_header]$tpl[location]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_weather" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_weather]">
 <tr>
  <td class="wic"><div><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=weather"><img border='0' src='$tpl[current_icon]' title="$tpl[current_text]" alt='' /></a></div><div class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_temp]</div></td>
  <td class="wic">
   <table border="0" cellpadding="1" width="100%">
    <tr>
     <td class="ihs">$tpl[time_text]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class="ihs">$tpl[humd_header]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='ihs'>$tpl[vis_header]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='ihs'>$tpl[ultra_header]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='ihs'>$tpl[baro_header]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='ihs'>$tpl[direct_header] ($tpl[direct_type])</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td class="smallfont">$tpl[local_time]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class="smallfont">$tpl[current_humd]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_vis]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_ultra]</td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_baro] <span><img border='0' src='$tpl[icon_baro]' alt='' /></span></td><td width='4'></td>
     <td class='smallfont'>$tpl[current_direct]</td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </td>
 </tr>
</tbody>

copy what is above this line...

Before you do the next thing....

Find out the following.....

Code:

(1) What is the starting 'field#' for the weather system
(2) What is the ending 'field#' for the weather system

If you fields are....

field11, field12, field13, field14, field15

Then your starting field# is -> 11
And your ending field# is -> 15

(3) find out what option (#) is option : weather in profilefield.php

To do this >> Go To >> left nav >> User Profile Fields >> 'add new profile field'

just click 'continue'........

When the page loads..... >> 'View Page Source'

Look for......

<select name="profilefield[form]" id="sel_profilefield[form]" tabindex="1" class="bginput">

Below the above select name  you will see 'Options : Weather'

<option value="?">Options: weather</option>


You want the value where the '?' is....

After you have these values copy them to notepad or whatever your system has

// field_start = 11 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// field _end = 15 <- this an example, yours may be different!
// option_id = 6 <- this an example, yours may be different!

Now open ./profile.php

find this....

PHP Code:


			
    'places' => array(

        'weather_new',

    ),

replace with....

PHP Code:


			
    'places' => array(

        'places_display',

    }



    eval ( print_standard_redirect ( 'redirect_updatethanks' ) );

}

Now in the code you just replaced, find the following special tags and replace them with the values I told you to save right before you opened'profile.php'!

Code:

(1)  field_start, occurs (1) time

change 'field_start', to the (#) that is the value for field_start!

(2) field_end, occurs (1) time

change 'field_end', to the (#) that is the value for field_end!

(3) option_id, occurs (2) time

change 'option_id, to the (#) that is the value for option_id!

Using my example values I would change the following lines in the replaced code above!

PHP Code:


			


// my example values....



// field_start = 11 <- this an example, yours may be different!

// field _end = 15 <- this an example, yours may be different!

// option_id = 6 <- this an example, yours may be different!





    // special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )

    $w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );



    // after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)

    $w_fields = array ( '11', '15' );



    // special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )

    $forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( option_id );



    // after changing the above (occurs 2 time in the replace code)

    $forecast_fields = verify_profilefields ( 6 );

after save and close profile.php!

open ./index.php

find the following.....

PHP Code:


			
// ### WELCOME MESSAGE #################################################

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])

{    // registered user

    $showmemberwelcome = true;

}

else

{    // guest

    $showmemberwelcome = false;

}

replace with.....

PHP Code:


			
// ### WELCOME MESSAGE #################################################

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])

{

    $showmemberwelcome = true;

    // special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )

    $w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );

    $w_m = 'field' . ( $w_fields[1] - 1 );



    if ( strpos ( $bbuserinfo[$w_m], 'always' ) )

    {

        $show['forecast'] = true;



        define ( 'DO_WEATHER', 1 );



        include_once ( './includes/functions_weather.php' );



        $forecast_home = forecast_valid ( $w_fields );



        if ( !empty ( $forecast_home )  )

        {

            $forecast_home = fetch_forecast ( $forecast_home, 2 );

        }

    }

}

else

{

    $showmemberwelcome = false;

    $show['forecast'] = false;

}

There are (2) special tags in the replace code above, be sure to change them just like you did before!

These are the tags you need to replace in the replace code above.....

PHP Code:


			
    // special tags you need to change ( 2 -> field_start, field_end )

    $w_fields = array ( 'field_start', 'field_end' );



    // after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)

    $w_fields = array ( '11', '15' );

After save changes to ./index.php and close it!

Open....

./includes/functions_user.php

find the following code!

PHP Code:


			
function fetch_profilefields($formtype = 0) // 0 indicates a profile field, 1 indicates an option field

{



    global $DB_site, $vboptions, $stylevar, $customfields, $bgclass;

    global $vbphrase, $altbgclass, $bgclass1, $tempclass, $bbuserinfo;



    // get extra profile fields

    $profilefields = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield

        WHERE editable = 1

            AND form " . iif($formtype, '>= 1', '= 0'). "

        ORDER BY displayorder

    ");

replace with.....

PHP Code:


			
function fetch_profilefields($formtype = 0) // 0 indicates a profile field, 1 indicates an option field

{



    global $DB_site, $vboptions, $stylevar, $customfields, $bgclass;

    global $vbphrase, $altbgclass, $bgclass1, $tempclass, $bbuserinfo, $new_forecast;



    // get extra profile fields

    $profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == option_id ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );

There is (1) special tag in the replace code above! You need to change it to the value of 'option_id'

using my example.....

PHP Code:


			
    // special tag you need to change ( 1 -> option_id )

    $profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == option_id ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );



    // after changing the above (occurs 1 time in the replace code)

    $profilefields = $DB_site->query ( "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield WHERE editable = '1' AND form " . ( $formtype == 6 ? "= '" . $formtype . "'" : ( $formtype ? ">= '" . $formtype . "'" : "= '0'" ) ) . " ORDER BY displayorder" );

Save changes and close ./includes/functions_user.php

Download the file new_weather.zip

Move the folder 'si' in the zip file to, ./forecast/img/

over write the current ./forecast/css/main.css, with the new one in the zip file...

copy 'weather.gif' to the ./images/misc/ directory of the style you are using!

overwrite ./forecast.php with the new one in the zip file
overwrite ./includes/functions_weather, with the one included in the zip file!

All done...

1. Adds forum display
2. 20% speed gain...
3. fixes sort order in location select boxes
4. setups the weather system to plugin to the new Admin CP 'Weather Manager', which will be released on the 23 of July!

Need help just post!

why-not,
You are simply amazing! The update has been installed, a warning to everyone else doing this: if you have issues with forecast elements not showing double check your field start and end dates, I got so wrapped up in the instructions that on the index.php changes I entered 15 instead of 14 in one place and it took me a few minutes to figure out what went wrong.

Again thank you for this amazing hack on behalf off all my users (who have had nothing but praise in the thread I started about the feature).

MikeRoweForums · #**117** 07-16-2004, 02:09 AM

Absolutely amazing.

Just installed the entire hack and your most recent update on my test board (for version 2 of my site), everything works perfect. This is one of the most in depth hacks I have ever seen. Very good work.

NuclioN · #**118** 07-16-2004, 07:24 AM

Upgraded and all works very well. Great job!

Question..how important is the cron job in this function and will there be an instruction to set these in the admin cp?

It would be nice to display the forumhome weatherinfo right under the navbar. Then it has to be smaller i guess. How to do this?

Let me look at putting it there, I think I can make something that will work for you! Check a little later today, say around 11:00 AM EST/EDT...

I started working on adding this to the AdminCP, VB cron task. I should have it done before leaving for the office this morning! Say around 9:00 AM!

NuclioN · #**120** 07-16-2004, 09:16 AM

Tnx that would be nice. I've placed the actual code in forumhome under the navbar but it is to large and it pushed the other tables to far down. If this could be done on a few lines it would be perfect.

Natch · #**121** 07-16-2004, 11:47 AM

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but can I ask why you designed this with a external CSS file ? Why not use vB styles to format this - it would make a bundle more sense to do it this way?

Not denying the value of htis hack - I think it's amazing! but this is just bugging me a bit ...
