SOLVED Weather By Zip "Improved" Again

[Trimline2]

Appears that the Weather by Zip has been broken again due to NWS page changes. Has anyone else noticed?

Trimline2: Fixed...

cd /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
rm -f nv-weather-zip.*
wget http://nerdvittles.com/trixbox123/nv-weather-zip.zip
unzip  nv-weather-zip.zip
rm -f nv-weather-zip.zip
chown asterisk:asterisk nv-weather-zip.php
chmod 775 nv-weather-zip.php

 

[Trimline2]

Yes indeed, thank you!

Ward - Here's a twist. You can toggle between Flite (Jason) and Googlettes (Sally).

For extensions_custom.conf:

;# // BEGIN Weather by ZIP
exten => 947,1,Answer
exten => 947,2,Wait(1)
exten => 947,3,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=7)
exten => 947,4,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=10)
;exten => 947,5,agi(googletts.agi,"Hello.  This is Sally at the Ward Mundy Telephone Company. At the beep enter the five digit zip code for the weather report you wish to retrieve.")
exten => 947,5,Flite("This is Jason at the Ward Mundy Telephone Company. At the beep enter the five digit zip code for the weather report you wish to retrieve.")
exten => 947,6,Read(ZIPCODE,beep,5)
;exten => 947,7,agi(googletts.agi,"Please hold a moment while we contact the National Weather Service for your report.")
exten => 947,7,Flite("Please hold a moment while we contact the National Weather Service for your report.")
exten => 947,8,AGI(nv-weather-zip.php,${ZIPCODE})
exten => 947,9,NoOp(Wave file: ${TMPWAVE})
;exten => 947,9,Set(foo=${FILE(/tmp/weather.txt)})
;exten => 947,10,agi(googletts.agi,'"${foo}"')
exten => 947,10,Playback(${TMPWAVE})
exten => 947,11,Hangup
;# // END Weather by ZIP

You do need to add to nv-weather.weather.zip after line 465 - "$retcode2 = system ("cp $tmptext /tmp/weather.txt") ;"

$msg = chr(34) . "Your report was successfully downloaded. Please stand bye." . chr(34) ;
execute_agi('EXEC $tts $msg') ;
 
//$retcode2 = system ("flite -f  $tmptext -o $tmpwave") ;
$retcode2 = system ("cp $tmptext /tmp/weather.txt") ;
$retcode2 = system ("$tts -f  $tmptext -o $tmpwave") ;

This simply adds the extracted weather report to the /tmp file for Googlettes to read. Toogle back and forth by commenting/uncommenting the reporter...

Just logged on to my Incredible PBX for Asterisk-GUI (CentOS) on DO. The update ran for weather by zip.
However when I try to use it any word after Local weather conditions for (city) are gibberish .

Thanks,

Jeff

jrglass: Oops. Forgot to push one out but it wasn't Asterisk-GUI. I'll take a look.

 

[jrglass]

Thank you

 

[wardmundy]

Thank you

Give me the ZIP code you are using so I can try it.

jrglass: Forgot we had moved to SQLite 3 as a test. Here's the fix, and we'll push it out...

sed -i 's|nv-weather-zip-sqlite3.php|nv-weather-zip.php|' /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf
asterisk -rx "dialplan reload"

 

[jrglass]

That got it fixed!

Sigh, today I see the below. I wonder if changes to the pages have happened yet again...

I do see in the log the zip and city is correct, but no /.../tts wave file is created.

Trimline2: NWS is getting uglier. Not sure why a public weather site funded by taxpayer money would go to such extreme lengths to blow us out of the water, but that's exactly what they did. Somebody seems to have forgotten what the 'S' in NWS stands for.

Going forward, they'll have to break Google Chrome compatibility or rewrite their code (which takes much longer and is more expensive) to keep us out. Of course, these clowns have nothing better to do, but at least they won't detect our TTS access any more. Now we look just like any other Chrome browser session.

New fix is posted and we'll push it out. Or you can grab it yourself:

cd /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
rm -f nv-weather-zip.*
wget http://nerdvittles.com/trixbox123/nv-weather-zip.zip
unzip  nv-weather-zip.zip
rm -f nv-weather-zip.zip
chown asterisk:asterisk nv-weather-zip.php
chmod 775 nv-weather-zip.php

Why is it in this world now, everything useful you come to count on goes to ? I just want to know.
