PHP/AJAX Website Template Set - WxSolution Setup

Overview

There is one setup required in WxSolution for the proper operation of your template set. Please follow the setup instructions in the sections below to have WxSolution upload your WXStags.php file, and your daily graph file.

Setup to upload WXStags.php

Select either the WXStags-comments.txt file (larger, but with comments) or the WXStags.txt (smaller, without comments) as the template file source from the distribution .\WXtags-template-files directory in the WXS-plugin.zip distribution file.

Then copy the chosen file in to your wxsolution\Forms\HTML directory and name it WXStags.php

Configure WxSolution for internet uploads by going to the WxSolution, File, Properties, Station Setup, FTP Reports panel

Make sure to specify your FTP server name, your FTP userid and FTP password and tick the Enabled checkbox. Also tick the Daily Graph and use the WXSdailyGraph.png name for the graph. Then press the Additional Files... button.

and press the Add button.

Fill in the entries on the FTP File form with:
Name: WXStags
Source File: (the location for the WXStags.php template file, usually in your Forms\HTML\ directory)
Destination File: WXStags.php
Interval: 5 minutes
File Type: Text

Then press OK to save the entry.

Press OK to close the FTP Files dialog.

Press OK on the FTP Reports to close it and save your configuration.

Then you can view the uploaded tags (after a WxSolution upload cycle) on your website as:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/WXStags.php?sce=view (see the raw source after processing by WxSolution)

http://www.yourwebsite.com/WXStags.php?sce=dump (see the contents of the resulting $WX[] array with WxSolution tag names and data values

Note: if you experience issues with your website showing PHP error messages like "unexpected end in WXStags.php", it may be due to a slow FTP connection such that your browser is accessing the website as WxSolution is uploading the WXStags.php, and has not yet finished.
To remedy this issue, you can upload your tags file to WXStags-new.php, make sure that WXStags.php is writable by PHP, and the V1.04 of top.php will automatically copy WXStags-new.php to WXStags.php to ensure you have a complete/fresh copy when your website is accessed.
