TCH-Thomas Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Im looking for a weather service to use on a site. Requirements International weather Customizable with colors, fontsizes etc... Cost: Zero (free) All ideas appreciated Quote
kajoiner Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Check out the one that I found and see if it will suit your needs. You can get it from the home site www.bsatroop98.org with frames or directly Here. It is free and was easy to set background colors to match the rest of the site. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 The Hamweather looks good. Thanks kajoiner I viewed the demo and have one question. Which one should i choose to view in demo? HAMweather 3 Core Distribution using the included flat file Freeware Databases HAMweather 3 Core Distribution using the flat file databases from the HWdb Update Service HAMweather 3 Core Distribution using the the SQL database from the HWdb Update Service Quote
kajoiner Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Personally I tried the SQL first, but the file they provide to create the tables is to large for phpadmin to process. The max file size is 2mb and the one provided by Hamweather is about 12mb in size. I started breaking it down into smaller files to process it and then decided it wasn't worth it and went with the flat files. I have had no problems with it, but I am not seeing a large usage on it. If you plan to have tons of viewers, you may want to go ahead and go with the SQL. Just a warning, I don't know how much space the SQL will take, but the flat file version takes about 10 meg of disk storage. Kevin Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 Ok, thanks again Kevin (and for the warning too) Now i will just have to wait for the move/change of server 48 so i can try it. Tic, toc, tic, toc... Quote
