Plugin Sea temperature

[poppelsepien]

Yesterday I've installed de sea temperature plugin. I followed the setup but I only see the text and temperature itself but no graph. What's wrong?

Your data file is empty

{"city":"Vlissingen","avg":[],"max":[],"min":[]}

[Jachym]

Try deleting the cache folder. If it then starts working it was a temporary issue. If not, it means your server is unable to load data from the data source

[poppelsepien]

I've deleted the cache but no result. In de cache directory are 2 files: data.txt en current.txt. In the current.txt file you can read the current temperature and in de data.txt file is only the cityname filled in, the average, min max fields are empty.
{"city":"Vlissingen","avg":[],"max":[],"min":[]}
So, why are several fields empty and some not?

[Jachym]

I think your server has general problems loading data from external sources, because you have the same problem with other blocks/plugins, do you use some free webhosting?

[poppelsepien]

I use my own ubuntu server with Apache.

[Jachym]

OK, well I really dont know how to help you

Hi poppelsepien

I have exact the same issue

Copy the data.txt from my zip to your plugin cache folder

and enjoy

Jachym, the script cant parse the seatemperature.org page

[Jachym]

Copying the file to cache folder is useless because it will be automatically deleted once the cache expires (12h).

Yachym in my case data.txt has been never overwritten since 3 weeks
(the data.txt) current.txt yes it's overwritten


Edit: Since 5 weeks (21/09/2017)

[Jachym]

Yes, but the plugin will not work correctly, it needs the current.txt as well

Jachym

current.txt works fine. (is updated regularly)
data.txt is not updated (and i want this)
I have input the data only once in data.txt manually, i have no other choice

But the plugin works fine.

Jachym

Your data.txt (niagara fails) at meteotemplate.com
are not altered-updated too
since June 16, 2017, 3:47:56 PM

[Jachym]

Yes, but current is.

[Jachym]

Data.txt is loaded once for the location specified (so if you use different location then he cannot use it), these are records which do not change. Current data is cached for 12 h.

[nikokara - BANNED]

Ok
lets make an experiment.
rename data.txt to old.

and give this temporary as location in the settings:
https://www.seatemperature.org/europe/g ... rhaven.htm

wats happen?

Hi
I just tried this plugin and got the same current.txt with a value in and data.txt with just the site in no values for the site I had chosen Blackpool as nearest to my location taken from seatemperature site
So based on the data.zip posted earlier and using the data shown on the January page for Blackpool I was able to get the data required to fill in a data file and put it in the cache and that works.
I know my host has some limitations that may stop the data.txt from being populated with data, but when I tried it on my local test server it also failed to get data in the data.txt.
not sure what the full url is for getting this data.
