data import

[alexvanuxem]

Hi

I have difficuties uploading historical data.
Everytime I get 504 Gateway Time-out.

This is the file: https://www.sint-katelijne-waver-meteo. ... /jan22.txt
Even show field numbers doesn't work.
Thes are the settings I use

https://www.sint-katelijne-waver-meteo. ... /jan22.txt
Field delimiter
(tab)
Decimal separator
. (period)
Header row
Yes
Import type
Skip existing

uploading to api.php every 5 minutes.

Which is the best source to use: weatherlink live, weatherlink, wu, pws weather, wc, ?

If my wind redirection is not in degrees how do I convert the export file to it?
in the example i changes the wind direction to 0.


Many thx

- uncompress the attached file in the admin directory ( backup the original files ), added alphanumeric bearing conversione ( N, NNE, NE... ), so you can import your files without additional conversions, and a few PHP 8.0 compatibility fixes
- configure import parameters as below
- Show field number, Test import and Import should work as expected

If I recall correctly Jachym suggests calling api.php every 1-5min ( database is updated every 5 minutes )
Sorry, can't comment about the best data source ( no experience about that ).

thank you,

it works, the 7.4 php way.

are you sure the 8.0 php works? even if I set my webpage still at 7.4 like it is now?
I saw your mods for full 8.0 php upgrade, are works well.

uploaded data since 2019. the template is just wow!

need to dig in into all the statistics.

thx

Yes, php 8 mods are backward compatible
Full php 8 transitioning is still a work in progress

[alexvanuxem]

thx, uploaded all your ph8.0 mods and they work.

One thing I'm struggling now is the rain data. They rain block doesn't show the correct daily rain, etc....
Some graphs also doen't show the correct rain data.

Any ideas?

Thx

Yes, the rain data should be a 'daily cumulative rainfall (since midnight)' but the data you imported has the rain data as rain in the last 5 minutes interval ( I didn't noticed it ).
You have to repeat the import process ( unzip the attached script in the admin directory ):
- set Import Type to Overwrite
- set the new option to Enabled

Nice... if you like a more colorfull windRose block you may try this ( it has a few problems on some server, it does not show the axis grid )
