I am very happy to hear of any bugs or issues you are having with these blocks, and will try my best to sort them out.
For ease of tracking please lodge comments, feedback, requests etc against this topic for this Block.
Issue:
- Version 2.2 of warningsAU stopped working when BOM prevented screen scraping access. Also threw errors in PHP 8.x.
- Version 3.0 is attached which addresses this issue(s), includes enhancements, and fixes other bugs to enable it to run on PHP8.2. Tested on PHP7.4 and PHP8.2 using MeteoTemplate v19.0 Cranberry.
v3.0 - 9 January 2025
- 20250109 (in warningsAUBlock.php) Replace retrieval of XML (rss) feed using SimpleXML commands to using rss functions from Feeds.php, courtesy David Grudl (https://github.com/dg/rss-php). This is to overcome blocks by BOM on simpleXML and loadcontent calls.
- 20250109 (in warningsAUBlock.php) Updated data source message to refer to BOM for latest info.
- 20250109 (in warningsAUdetail.php) Replace retrieval of XML (rss) feed using curlMain commands to using rss functions from Feeds.php.
