Website integration doesn't work

    Hi everybody,

    I'm running the blitzortungscript on this link, but i want to add the map to my wordpress en drupal website. It doesn't work for me... Can someone give me some clear steps because i already copy and pasted the code in the manual.


    Regards and thanks!

    Hi Nicolas,

    if you use Wordpress, search and install the plugin "Shortcode Exec PHP".
    Then you create your own PHP-File like MyBlitzortung and upload it on your web server (by FTP).
    Now you must include (PHP.net ) the PHP-File in the plugin and insert the Shortcode in an article or a page.

    Thats it :)

    Best regards

    @ Gonzo, thanks for the reply but i don't really understand it..

    I installed the plugin. then i made a random php file with the name "bliksemdetectie.php' and with this code in it:

    <?php
    include "http://weerstationwaregem.be/public_html/bl…blitzortung.php";
    ?><html>
    ...
    Eigenes HTML oder PHP...
    ...
    <?php
    bo_show_map();
    ?>
    ...
    </html>

    But after that i'm stuck. Could u show me how the includes work with screens?

    Best regards

    Nicolas + PS: u have a solution for drupal aswell?

    Sorry, I have no idea about Drupal.

    Use this code in your "bliksemdetectie.php":

    PHP
    <?php	include "/public_html/bliksemdetectie/waregem/blitzortung.php";?><?php bo_show_menu(); ?>	<div id="myblitzortung">    	<?php bo_show_all(); ?> 	</div>

    Then search this window in your Wordpress.
    You write "lightning" there where "[hello_word]" stands.
    And you write

    PHP
    include("/server_path/to/your/bliksemdetectie.php");

    there were "return 'Hello world"';" stands.

    Now you create a page or an article and insert

    Code
    [lightning]

    .

    If this doesn't work check your server path at both include command.

    Thanks till now,

    I uploaded the file bliksemdetectie.php with the code like u wrote. Then i made a shortcode with the title bliksemdetectie and the code inside it. But i'm getting this error then when i'm testing it.

    Warning: include() [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nicolhf59/domains/http://noodweer.be/public_html/wp…-class.php(967) : eval()'d code on line 1

    Thanks!

    Öhm ... I dont't know... I think you must check your server-path.

    Try this in your bliksemdetectie.php:

    PHP
    include "/home/nicolhf59/domains/noodweer.be/public_html/bliksemdetectie/waregem/blitzortung.php";

    And this in the plugin:

    PHP
    include("/home/nicolhf59/domains/noodweer.be/public_html/bliksemdetectie/waregem/bliksemdetectie.php");

    I'm here again..

    Did the things u said and pasted the shortcode 'lightning' into 1 webpage and it doesn't work for me :(

    "Warning: include(/home/nicolhf59/domains/http://noodweer.be/public_html/bl…semdetectie.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nicolhf59/domains/http://noodweer.be/public_html/wp…-class.php(967) : eval()'d code on line 1"

    Myfile.php looks like:

    <?php
    include "/home/nicolhf59/domains/http://noodweer.be/public_html/bl…blitzortung.php";
    ?>

    <?php bo_show_menu(); ?>
    <div id="myblitzortung">
    <?php bo_show_all(); ?>
    </div>

    I uploaded it to my directory of the blitzortung software.. Do i need some extra coding in config.php or so?

    Thanks for help

    Hmm...

    Please try this:
    Create a file with the name "test.php" and this code:

    PHP
    <pre><?php
echo(dirname(__FILE__).PHP_EOL);
echo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].PHP_EOL);
echo 'PHP Version: ' . PHP_VERSION . PHP_EOL;
?></pre>

    Then upload the file to your "/wagerem" folder, call and post the result.

    Regards
    Daniel

    Ah, ok. You can delete the "test.php".

    Next attempt :)
    Change the include path in your bliksemdetectie.php:

    PHP
    include "/home/nicolhf59/domains/weerstationwaregem.be/public_html/bliksemdetectie/waregem/blitzortung.php";

    And in the Wordpress plugin:

    PHP
    include("/home/nicolhf59/domains/weerstationwaregem.be/public_html/bliksemdetectie/waregem/bliksemdetectie.php");

    Hi Daniel! This works but the CSS gives me a problem. It looks like it's broken into my theme - screenshot

    I think we are almost their

    Fine :)

    Oh, I forgot that. You must edit the "header.php" from your Wordpress theme.

    This is the path to the "header.php" File:

    Code
    /[wordpress_folder]/wp-content/themes/[theme_name]

    Between the "<head>"-tags, you must insert this new line:

    Code
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.weerstationwaregem.be/bliksemdetectie/waregem/style.css" />

    Warning: If you update the theme, you must insert this line perhaps newly.

    Great the wordpress integration of Myblitzortung is a succes now!

    Do i have to edit something more in the bliksemdetectie.php file or config.php file to see the graphs of myblitzortung? I don't see them actually. The dynamic map is fine.

    Thanks Gonzo for everything and the clear explanation. Now i just need that information for drupal aswell :p

    regards,

    Nicolas

    I have another possible suggestion, to avoid loosing the changes after an update of the wordpress theme. It's untested, but it could work:

    1. Create a new css file somewhere, i.e. "my.css" .

    2. Put the following line in it:

    Code
    @import url('url/path/to/myblitzortung/style.css');

    3. Add the following line to your existing css from the wordpress-theme at the end of the file:

    Code
    @import url('url/path/to/my.css');

    4. You can now add own styles in the "my.css" after the @import-line.

    Two benefits:
    - If you update the wordpress-theme, only the single line gets lost. Same with the MyBlitzortung style.css.
    - No PHP-Code has to be changed

    Thanks for the usefull information, but it's a fact i don't know much about those computer language..

    A short review of the steps i made to implement the dynamic map into wordpress

    1. i made a new file with the code in it
    2. i updated wordpress with the php plugin
    3. i put the shortcode intro a html page
    4. i see the dynamic map
    5. i edited the header.php for the right css

    5. do i need to edit the config.php or the new file with the php code to see the graphs?
    6. how do i easely put the dynamic map intro drupal?

    Regards,

    Nicolas

    Pff, it doenst' work anymore........ Mylightningdetection works on a link but when i want to put the map into wordpress or Durpal i don't see anything or i see the dynamic map without graphs of the archive...

    Can someone just post a clear explanation with screenshots of how i integratie it on a EASY way......

    Regards

    Simply read the documentation:

    Quote

    Graphics

    To deliver the graphics, a helper script is required. The URL to this script is specified by the constant BO_FILE in config.php. The easiest way is to use the blitzortung.php from the MyBlitzortung directory....

    Example:

    PHP
    define('BO_FILE', 'http://weerstationwaregem.be/bliksemdetectie/waregem/blitzortung.php');

    This should be equivalent:

    PHP
    define('BO_FILE', '/bliksemdetectie/waregem/blitzortung.php');

    You should also set at least BO_ARCHIVE_URL and BO_ARCHIVE_URL ! See documentation for this.

    Another thing: You could increase your amplification of your station a lot. Currently, it only detects a 1% of all lightning strikes - that's almost nothing.

    Thanks Tobi for the support. I"m going to try that.

    How do i increase the aplification :o? I just mounted the detector into my room and by night it's going offline (bad radiation?)
