Intractive banner is stuck to blue sky

Hi All,
My interactive banner is now blocked on "blue sky" for a couple of weeks.
I know it is linked to the metar specified in the general configuration. I have check my Metar plugin, it is up-to-date (code LSGG)
http://www.meteo-cugy.ch/template/pages/metar/index.php
It looks like the information is no longer taking into account my Meteotemplate.
Does anyone noticed the same ?
Thanks
Alain

Hi,
Effectly @mchd17 It's a https issue,
Change this in /template/header.php (Line 172):
Code: Select all
$urlMETAR = "http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/".strtoupper($ICAO).".TXT";
by this:
Code: Select all
$urlMETAR = "https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/".strtoupper($ICAO).".TXT";
In my website it's working now

I also had to change code in /template/scripts/headerMetar.php
line 326 and 327
Code: Select all
//$no = "http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/x/stations/";
$no = "http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/x/stations/";
To this
Code: Select all
//$no = "https://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/x/stations/";
$no = "https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/x/stations/";

Give it a bit of time, try control panel/clear metar cache

I made the code changes listed above, and mine started working properly. Go to the metar station you have entered into your main setup and make sure they are reporting correctly. I've had that issue in the past. If their sky report is not changing your banner won't change.

I am having the same issue of the banner nor changing. I have just done the code changes as above and cleared the cache, may take some time to change, but looking at the METAR weather plugin it says "invalid METAR code EGLF" which is the correct code for Farnborough. Whatever airport I put in (I.e. heathrow, gatwick, Odiham) it says invalid code.

I just went to the NWS report for your METAR station. It is not reporting sky conditions at all. That seems to be the issue rather than your code changes.

Also I have the same problem I changed the code in /template/scripts/headerMetar.php, I also emptied the cache but it doesn't work, if I go to open the interactiveBanner.txt file I find written N / A while the Metar page works perfectly.
