Many thanks in advance.

Yes, Chris..
The Australian conditions block, too.
Both return the 'Data unavailable' message.
AS it happens they are both in the same menu block. I don't think that's the problem as another block is not affected.
I suspect that it's either a BoM problem or it has altered some of its data formats.
Regards,
John
P.S. - The link you posted does not work.

No, stuee, Chris merely mentioned that the incorrect link to his site had been adjusted.

Hi All
Anyone figure this out yet? I've tried playing around with it no luck.
Cheers

I had a very similar problem with one of the skins for weewx - it turns out that the BoM requires a "User-Agent" entry in the HTTP header that retrieves the data.
NOTE: USE THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR OWN RISK
I edited the 'currentAustraliaBlockLoader.php' file at around line 64 to change:
to be:
Code: Select all
$opts = [
"http" => [
"method" => "GET",
"header" => "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36"
]
];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$html = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
I have no idea if you need all that text in the 'User-Agent' line but I copied that from somewhere a while ago and it works. Experiment if you like.
I suggest that you backup the file before editing it.
Also the location of the file probably depends on where you installed Meteotemplate but for me it was in the subdirectory meteotemplate/homepage/blocks/currentAustralia.

Thanks Susan, but where do I find currentAustraliaBlockLoader.php? It's not in the warningsAU block folder

@tpweather - sorry but I've only just seen your message.
I gave the location where the file was on my system. I suggest that you grep for 'file_get_contents' and see which one(s) are in an appropriate place and probably look something like '"$html = file_get_contents($url)".
By the way, I see in my post above I incorrectly typed the code I altered: it was not 'file_get_context' but 'file_get_contents'. The replacement code is correct though.

Yup thanks Susan. I realise that now. sorry, I am talking about the warningsAU block. I do not use the Australia
Current Conditions block, hence my confusion! I'm really keen to get the warningsAU block up and running if you have any suggestions??

It looks like several AU blocks stopped functioning due to changes in data source
