Okay. I seem to have a permissions problem.
At http://www.ladads.info when we click on the banner ad, we are going to a blank page with:
http://ladads.info/banners.php?op=click&bid=8
instead of going to the link address at
http://www.jurisdictionary.com
Now when I am logged in, the redirect goes to the correct place.
So how do I modify the permissions so that the banner ads go to the correct link when not logged in.

To get the metar decoding to work again, change the index.php line 54 to:
Quote:
I changed the 'http' to 'ftp' and deleted the extra /pub/ in the file name.
I don't know what the vlindex.php file does. It seems the same as the index.php file.

echo "";

Your second link was not working because the spot where the ICAO is meant to go was empty.
Quote:
I think the above corrections should fix that. The code is looking to insert the $icao into that text line. So for some reason, your $icao was nul.

Then in the vlweatherblock.php file
I changed:
Quote:
to
Quote:
Once your config.php file is set correctly, you can uncomment that line in the vlweatherblock.php file.
Then comment out the two lines below that would undo those settings.
I changed:
Quote:
// include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/modules/vlweather/cache/config.php');
$vlweatherset['icao'] = $options[0];
// $vlweatherset['country'] = 'US';
$vlweatherset['pref_units'] = $options[1];
// $vlweatherset['timeoffset'] = -8.0;
to
Quote:
include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/modules/vlweather/cache/config.php');
// $vlweatherset['icao'] = $options[0];
// $vlweatherset['country'] = 'US';
// $vlweatherset['pref_units'] = $options[1];
// $vlweatherset['timeoffset'] = -6.0;

Okay.
In the cache folder, I changed the 'config.php' file.
2 changes
1) The vlweatherset was changed to my default icao. In your case it should be KORD.
2) The vlweatherset offset was changed to my timezone offset.

Those other 13 show up with all of their associated locations because you missed cutting out the part of the SQL list AFTER the United States. I reviewed the list and it looks complete.
Start and end with:

Prune back to

Start and end with:

Only 13? The unadulterated SQL list has at least 100 other country choices. Recheck that SQL file.
If you know how to edit your installed SQL database, you can probably find and delete them from that rather than uninstalling and reinstalling.
I think I had two other minor problems to deal with on this module
1: Correcting the time. There was a minor problem with getting the time right because of daylight savings time.
2: On the main weather page, one of the links didn't work.
I forget the exact solution to those two issues because it was a long time back. They might be posted here under my name from 2 years back.

I can't see the 'save' settings unless I am a user. You would need to activate me so that I can log in.

By modifying the Weather block!
1 Select Admin/Blocks
2 Then Select EDIT for the Weather block.
3 Under OPTIONS enter the 4 letter default ICAO station
So how do you find the weather station code?
If the block is up and running:
1 Go to the Weather block
2 Select CHANGE SETTINGS for the block from the menu.
3 Use the drop down menus to pick your weather station.
4 Your 4 digit weather code will be displayed.
======================================================
If you have not already installed the module:
1 Then edit the XOOPS_VERSION.PHP file
2 Line 36 has the code for setting the block options
Quote:
3 Change the station to the station you desire.
4 Then load the module.
To find your station:
1 Go to the SQL folder
2 Look in the vlweather.sql file for your station.
======================================================
Note:
If you are only after providing Weather for your local area and not for the world, trim that SQL file down to size. There is no point in installing 5,131 Weather stations if your users are only going to pick between 1 to 4 stations.
Why make it hard on them?
