Since July 1, 2014, my almanac data is not displaying on my website.
http://www.empireprairieweather.com I am using the meteobridge plug-in software for this site.
It may be something else causing this issue, but the website developer seems to believe this data come from my meteobridge server. Anyone have any suggestions?

Running Meteobridge Linux 3.3.8 mips (LE), FW 1.0, MeteoBridge 2.3 (2547) on a Asus WL-330N3G
At my meteobridge test site:
http://www.wiri.be/weather2/index.php?p ... MB&lang=en
all values are displayed correctly using the following MB-tags.
Code: Select all
$ws['sunrise'] = '[mbsystem-sunrise]';
$ws['sunset'] = '[mbsystem-sunset]';
$ws['moonrise'] = '[mbsystem-moonrise:<00:00]';
$ws['moonset'] = '[mbsystem-moonset:>00:00]';
$ws['lunarPhasePerc'] = '[mbsystem-lunarpercent]';
$ws['lunarAge'] = '[mbsystem-lunarage]';
$ws['sunrise'] = '05:33';
$ws['sunset'] = '21:58';
$ws['moonrise'] = '11:58';
$ws['moonset'] = '00:05';
$ws['lunarPhasePerc'] = '32.5';
$ws['lunarAge'] = '5';
Also on the MB Saratoga test site
http://www.wiri.be/saratoga/ the values are displayed correctly.
Code: Select all
Sunrise: 05:33
Sunset: 21:58
Moonset: 00:05
Moonrise: 11:58
So better check your tag files on your Meteobridge, do a "Reload template" push button on the MB push services tab and see if anything changes on your site.

Well, I tried that just now. No change. I tried this the other day also.

Well, then we have to check the files as uploaded by Meteobridge.

Seems perfectly OK to me, these lines are directly from your upload file.

The data is arriving at your webserver.
Maybe someone made a script change the last days?
Maybe a new version of a script added on june 30?
Any ideas about that?
Keep us posted,
Wim

Sorry to bother you again. The error is definitly not in Meteobridge.
When you look into the source (html) of your page (right click in chrome, select "view source" or something like that):
Code: Select all
<!-- get-USNO-sunmoon.php - Version 1.02 - 03-Dec-2011 -->
<!-- loading ./cache/USNO-moondata.txt from http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_pap.pl -->

<!-- fetch function elapsed= 1 secs. -->
<!-- loading finished. -->
<!-- USNOdata
Array
(
)
-->
The moon information is loaded form the USNO website using get-USNO-sunmoon.php - Version 1.02 - 03-Dec-2011.
The information retrieved is EMPTY. So that is the explanation.
This is the error returned, check
http://www.empireprairieweather.com/cac ... ondata.txt:
Code: Select all
<h3>Sun and Moon Data for One Day</h3>
37
<p>No latitude specified.
<p>No time zone specified.
5c
<br>
Better post this error on the
http://www.wxforum.net/index.php
There is more know-how of errors with the USNO script then here at Meteobridge.
By the way, the Meteobridge supplies all that data fine. No need to use an extra script, I think. Curious why this script is there.
Maybe you used WeatherLink in the past?

I got it resolved this morning! It was something weird. I was trying to cater my website more for my community. I entered a sentence in the location line not realizing this would affect things. I guess I just need to leave stuff alone.
