Meteotemplate - process of updating

[alexvanuxem]

Thank you!

no idea why this gone missing suddenly, maybe just me....

Downloaded Update_19.0, and update completed without an error. Site seemed to be functioning without issue, but there is a problem that showed up later.

Although everything appears normal initially, specifically the current block is updating normally, I noted that in the System Data block, the next day that it was blank. I logged in as admin, and when I look at the database, there are no entries after the point that I updated my site.

Hi,
this is very strange. I have 3 users reporting this, others say it is fine.

I would like to know:
- which PHP version are you using
- which software do you use for the updates

I'm using PHP 8.1

Hi Jachym,

I have had once the same issue (please remember my mail), after replacing the API.php all was fine and database was updated again.

Hi guys,

if your template stopped updating once you updated to PHP8.x, please try replacing the api.php code with the one below, it should help.

Code: Select all

do have a file ?

had some outages due to updating, imported data but its not saved in database

cheers

a

[milesb]

The last api.php I received from Jachym resolved the database update issue.

[alexvanuxem]

to be clear, the api.php that Jachym shared only in code here a few posts above?

[FSC830]

Just click to "Code: Select all" (see headline of code block) and paste the clipboard afterwards to a new file api.php, then you will got it.

Regards

[spd2612]

Is there any updates in that Api file ?
Mine is working fine now updates are thru the ecowitt plugin with the original API from Cranberry
I have had them get corrupt before

I received the file directly from Jachym, but it is the same as the one he posted in this thread. (I compared the two files with Notepad++)

Hello everyone,

I had installed version 19.0 without any problems but I noticed that the interactive banner no longer worked.
So I reinstalled the files
createConfig.php
setup.php
header.php
the banner works again but it made me go back to Template 18.0.
I upgraded to Template 19.0 but the banner no longer works.

A solution ?

THANKS

[amonphi]

Hello Everyone,

I confirm that I also installed the 19.0 version, enabled first PHP8.2 In Altervista without errors, slowly I see how it behaves because some Bolcks do not load anymore but, if I remember correctly some of them were an updated version of @davidefa and maybe I will have to restore them.

More than anything else, someone can tell me if now I owe or not also update MySQL from version 5.6 to version 8 in Altervista? I am not very experienced and I would not like to do damage especially at the database.

Hi all,
I have just done the upgrade from 18 to 19 and PHP 7.x to PHP 8.2.10.
As far as I can see after a quick look most of the site is still working OK, EXCEPT the Steelseries Gauges plugin (4.0) is no longer working (all showing 0/min). This still works on my site if I run under PHP 7 but not if I run under PHP 8.2.
Any ideas?
Justin
PS Thanks Jachym - great work!

[Sydpub]

Same here: no ssGauges or RSS feeds at php 8.x. Fine at php 7.2. I presume these issues will be looked at when the blocks and plugins are addressed. In the meantime I'll remain at 7.2. I'm very pleased that Meteotemplate is receiving attention... thank you Jachym!

This php upgrade version does not work for me.
But I can very well live without it.

But worse is the fact that netatmo doesnt kommunicate with the weater program. (Weather Display)
What is the point of having a weaterstation if it doesnt registrate temperature and wind on a weatherpage?

I em considering buing a new weather station that acctually work.

Also I think that the webcam (block and plugin) should be updateted bacause the webcam doesnt work either.

[amonphi]

Instead I,
it will certainly be my ignorance on the subject but, I continue not to understand why if I have activated PHP8.2 in the Altervista, in Meteothemplate I still tell me that "You Are Using Php Version 7.3.33". I updated it 2 days ago but, still nothing.
I feel frustrated!

Having said that, after updating to the Version 19.0 I have slowdowns in opening the template and loading the following blocks:

forecastGraphical
outlook
meteogram (I have V4.0, ok to version 3.6)
lightning
currentMap
rain (I have the V7.2, sometimes it loads it sometimes not, and I have to force it manually)

I hope someone knows how to help me

Thank you

Hi Jachym,

I have had once the same issue (please remember my mail), after replacing the API.php all was fine and database was updated again.

Regards

The database not updating has returned for me. The new api file initially fixed the problem, but the database stopped updating on 9/1/23 at 3AM. The Current block is still updating as normal.

[justinhow]

I have back revved the PHP to 7.4 as I was finding that my meteotemplate site was showing offline too much. The realtime current bloc/dials were still showing current readings though.
FYI - I use the meteotemplate API (from Weather Display)

[milesb]

My site has always shown "Online" after update to 19.0, the only issue I've encountered is the database updates.

[DadOfZelda]

Hi,

A short report after doing an upgrade to v19

The update went on with no problem, only green checkmarks.

The site seems to work normaly on php 7.4.

I changed to php 8, and as some others says i did not get any updates. and also some blocks stop working.

I got http error 500 when running CRON for the updates file. (I use the meteohub process)

When change back to php 7.4 on webserver updates work again, but still some block not working as ssGauges

UPDATES!
After a day or two my block ssGauges start to show information again. But still on php 7.4

Kind Regards
Christian

[justinhow]

Lets hope we get an update from Jachym about these reported issues soon.

[spd2612]

Im on php 8.1.26 and my update to 19 has not had any issues except for current block which is expected alot of blocks and plugins are old and out of date

Benn running fine since it was released
