FWI Calculator Software

[southfranklinweat]

Hi Jenny and Wolfie33,
I appreciate this is an old thread, though hoping someone has an answer to my question.
I finally got around to creating a complete list of fwi parse tags to upload as a php file to tinker with and found that there is no ^fwigfdi^.
In the last .pdf I have it displays as per below; (note ^fwiffdi^ is assigned to GFDI).

11) ^fwiffdi^ - Last FFDI
12) ^fwiffdi^ - Last GFDI

When I changed it to ^fwigfdi^ it did not return a value, is this a known issue or is there possibly a way I can amend a file somewhere or would it require author change, I assume he will not be making changes now.

Kind Regards,

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the New Zealand Forum

I had to drag my thinking cap out for this one and try and remember what I did and why

Looking at my coding I am using fwiffdi for both FFDI and GFDI for the current value and of course that brings back the same result.
I can not remember why though so I might drop a line to the author.

The GFDI year and all time record do work for the high value but not the low value.
e.g. Year:
^stayhighgfdi^^stayhighgfdid^

Hopefully the author will have your answer.

Cheers
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for that, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yes all the others work, just not the current.
Though strangely the .xml files contain the current GFDI, though it must be hard coded as I can't find how they are generated.
Kind Regards,

Hi Tony & Welcome!
Sorry, I'm no help on that. While I did try running it for a short spell last year, I found my old system started to chug slower & slower.

FYI, last time I looked the author was bound for Europe for a good few months of mountain climbing, but he could well be back now.

Hi Folks, its been some time (3 years+) , but given the amount of spare time I now have (thanks COVID-19), I have rewritten great swathes of the original FWI CALCULATOR application. It is now up to version 11.2.1.112. It is available at https://www.arthurspass.com/fwicalc/

I think I have ironed out most of the Windows 10 issues, though you might like to install it to "C:\FWI" folder rather than the default "Program Files (x86)". If it is already running on your system, install it to the exact same location so all the data & configuration files are maintained. There should be no issue with using "Add/Remove Programs" to remove a previous version if necessary as all config and data files are not deleted.

If you simply want to overwrite the existing version (not recommended) see the "Corrupted File" section on the website. There are now 5 application files and 2 help files. These should all be copied across. Once the new version is run, there is no turning back.

Any issues let me know via the website email! I am hoping to now keep this project running.

I typed a long message and the forum deleted it.

I'll try again on the weekend.

Well thats odd.
Have not heard that one before.

I suggest type it up in wordpad or note pad.
Then copy it across. That way if it does it again you will have a copy

Cheers

Thanks Jenny, appreciated.
This issue still resides in this new/latest version.
In the last .pdf I have it displays as per below; (note ^fwiffdi^ is assigned to GFDI).

11) ^fwiffdi^ - Last FFDI
12) ^fwiffdi^ - Last GFDI

When I changed it to ^fwigfdi^ it did not return a value, is this a known issue or is there possibly a way I can amend a file somewhere or would it require author change, I assume he will not be making changes now.

How do I obtain the GFDI value.

Graeme is the any chance you could take a look at it please.
Kindest Regards,
Tony

Good Evening,

Ok yes FFDI and GFDI both return the same reading for the current time/day.
There is not a separate Day reading for ^GFDI^

However both return different readings for the Year High and low
plus for the All time high and low.

I use for the day ^fwiffdi^ for both FFDI & GFDI readings.

For the Year I use:
^stayhighgfdi^  ( Year high)
^stayhighgfdid^ (Date Year High)
^staylowgfdi^    (Year Low)
^staylowgfdid^  (Date Year Low)

and for all time:
^stahgfdi^ (All time High)
^stahgfdid^  (Date All Time High)
^stalgfdi^   (All time Low)
^stalgfdid^  (Date All Time Low)

Have a look at my page.
Right click on it and select view source.
See if that helps at all.

Yell if I can help further

Cheers
Jenny
