Status / overview page?

[tschak909]

The information here should be folded into the General Info Plugin. The various bits can be emitted as events, which can be intercepted by both the General Info Plugin, and responded to by the system to do different things.

Essentially, most of this stuff would be folded in as a data grid, with custom data grid cells, with images set for the bits inside the cells (a new screen handler in Orbiter would be needed for this.), with the normal data grid fields still set, so that not only can standard orbiter show something nice, but qOrbiter can also pick up the data.

This is going to take some learning and work for someone who does not yet understand how to make new orbiter displays/code, but it would be worth it.

I'll see if i can work something out next week...

i assume you know howto write a plugin. Would you mind you share your knowledge?
I would like to help to write a plugin.

it'll take a while. The first thing is to figure out how to get the information into a form that the plugin can parse. Examples of this could be, writing out to a text file, talking to an external shell script, etc.

UPDATE: Before i ran a script to read the sunrise/-set from the log files. This wasn't best practice since it was a higher load for the system, just to get this value.
I found out that php has a command date_sunrise and date_sunset that calculs your sunrise timing. This based on your lattitude and longitude. And let these values now be in the database.

So i've update the status page:

• first grep the latt and long from the db
• get the offset from the timezone
• use this with date_sunrise
• ...

Hello,
downloading of the scripts doesn't seem to work anymore. Would it be possible to get the files from somewhere?

"oniriabe.dyndns.org:1111/packages/status.zip" gives 404 Not Found

[brononius]

My bad, should be back online...

A new package have been generated (only index and images)...

[Techstyle]

I get a 404 error also

[brononius]

grrrr,

I'll need to add that webfolder to my restore procedure. 
Should be online again...


(and now, update my restore procedure...)

Give it a try with:

Code: [Select]

tar -zxvf status.zip

[coley]

Give it a try with:

Code: [Select]

tar -zxvf status.zip

thanks that worked - maybe rename the file to .tgz might be a hint at the archive type

[brononius]

Done...

And link is updated in first post...

Your task, if you actually give a damn.

Find me an OPEN api for weather for your country if you live outside the united states. this is getting done now.

And why shouldn't I give a damn? 


Normally, the weather part is based on the timezone.
I'm from Europe/Belgium, so this is outside the United States. And it works over here.

What's your timezone if i may ask?
This way i can change my server's timezone and have a look why it's not working for you.

ps This will not be in the next 2 weeks. I'm busy with another project that takes up all my time now... So please be patient...

What I meant was what service are you using for europe. Im planning on rolling this functionality into the climate plugin and didnt want to ignore people outside the US.
