I have been attempting to re-create some popular Twitter based data strings that our station previously provided. That option in our weather software broke when Twitter changed their API back in 2012. Until I purchased my Meteobridge PRO I had no way of providing these hourly and condition based strings of weather data which go from our station's Twitter account over to our station's facebook page.
I have managed to get the [act] type delivery to work just fine, but I have another type of string posted below that relies on daytime high values that also need to include the time stamp of those highs displayed in the 12 hour AM-PM time format.
Here is the Twitter string I need to produce with the MBP as it would appear to users on Twitter and facebook:
Solar Highs Today: Temperature: 90.8 F at 3:23 PM * Solar Radiation: 786.00 watts/m^2 at 1:02 PM * UV: 5.50 at 1:01 PM
So far, I have found no way to produce this string using the existing scripting options shown in the Meteobridge Wiki. Everything using timestamps appears to be in 24 hour/Military Time format only. Any of you running a station that serves a community in the USA knows that folks expect/desire their events in the 12 hour time format, not military time.
I personally don't care for it either and much prefer my time stamps in 12 hour format. If the MB scripting library allows this to be done, it sure isn't something that jumps off the page!
Do we have any Meteo script experts out there that can create such a script for me?
You would be doing me a HUGE favor if you could provide me with the MB formatted script to deliver the above mentioned string exactly as you see it here in this post. While I could likely work with bits and pieces, I would prefer the whole thing so that I know in advance that it works. I try to avoid doing too much testing of scripts on our Twitter account due to the number of users who follow it.
I am sure many current and future MB and MBP owners would also appreciate having access to such a script, as well as other common data strings that could be posted to Twitter which have already been tested to be contained within that service's character limitations and free of any characters not supported by Twitter.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I had my version up and running in a couple of minutes!
