Tides block stopped working

For some reason it is almost a week that Tides_1.2 block stopped working and in its place Data N/A is only shown. I checked the related url in
https://www.tide-forecast.com to see if their server is down but their site is working fine for my chosen location. So I guess that the process of decoding and stripping their data in the php meteotemplate tidesBlock file should be amended to probably include any changes that tide-forecast might have done in their page.
Any help on above?

Hi
just checked mine and I have the same but a cache file is created but the data in it is different to an older file I have on a backup
I also notice the plugin is giving the same error probably for the same reason

Same here Data N/A.
TidesCache.txt is beeing created and updated but it looks like they have redesigned their html page and parsing data from there is not giving any results because their html code is somewhat different now.
I have been trying to fix the issue but my knowledge is too short for that and the result is always the same: no results
Help, pleaseeee!
I had never imagined that there were so many fishermen visiting my site just looking for local beach weather, tides and moons

I think i figured out what changed in the html of the Tide-forcast website:
Do the following:
In tidesBlock.php change line 55 from:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/<h1 class="tab">Tide Times for (.*?)<\/h1>/',$html,$matchesPlace);
to:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/<h1 class="title is-4 has-text-primary has-text-centered">Tide Times for (.*?)<\/h1>/',$html,$matchesPlace);
Change line 71 from:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/\<section class="tide-events not_in_print"\>(.*)?\<\/section\>/',$html,$matches);
to:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/\<section class="section tides-content-table tide-events not_in_print is-imperial" >(.*)?\<\/section\>/',$html,$matches);
Change line 80 from:
Code: Select all
$explodeDays = explode('<td class="date"',$predictionDiv);
to:
Code: Select all
$explodeDays = explode('<th class="date "',$predictionDiv);
Change line 84 from:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/rowspan="[0-9]">(.*?)<\/td>(.*?)$/',$explodeDays[$i],$matches);
to:
Code: Select all
preg_match('/rowspan="[0-9]" >(.*?)<\/th>(.*?)$/',$explodeDays[$i],$matches);
Then the block is working again.

Thanks, Asobig, there's a bucket of salt water heading your way.
It surely works for me.

Followed Absobig's instructions and all is well. Had to make one change in line 71.
I had to change new line 71 from tide-events not_in_print is-imperial to tide-events not_in_print is-metric. This dependings what
https://www.tide-forecast.com does not show as height, meters or feet.
preg_match('/\<section class="section tides-content-table tide-events not_in_print is-imperial" >(.*)?\<\/section\>/',$html,$matches);
- OR -
preg_match('/\<section class="section tides-content-table tide-events not_in_print is-metric" >(.*)?\<\/section\>/',$html,$matches);
Tide plugin can also be fixed by applying changes to ...
line 69
line 85
line 94
line 98

For the life of me I can't get this block to work again? I installed the 1.3 block that was just updated in the blocks section
http://www.meteotemplate.com/web/blocks.php
The block is caching the data from
https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations ... des/latest
Im stumped???

In case you hadn't noticed, your tide plugin isn't working either!!!

So I have tried to get this Tides Block to work again on two different servers with absolutely no luck. One is my paid hosted server and the other is on my PI3B+.
If someone would not mind posting their entire working tidesBlock.php here so I could try using it to rule out any syntax errors on my part. I would appreciate it.
Nevermind I got it to work again

the block is working ok for me after the update, but when I tried the changes in the plugin, the page loads but no graph or data is showing and if metric is used instead of imperial I get data N/A

I think the formatting has changed again as all appears to be offline. Any ideas anyone?
