[srdudley]

G'day,

I have downloaded the Month_patch_fro_Sunny_Weather_v1x from the site but not sure how to use it, can someone please advise.

Do I have to change anything to make it work correctly?

Thanks and HNY

Hi sr,

This archive contain 2 filres:

- css file to send to your website
- recordT.htm to replace the current local file (to be processed)

Then when Cumulus update your website, a new records page
will be displayed.

Hope this help!

Regards,
Jacques

Thanks for the reply, but when I select the menu item on this page for All-Time, it goes to monthrecord.htm, which is un-formatted via a CSS and does not give me the all time records.

Hi Sr,

Sorry, I've give you indications for other Template. For month patch
in Sunny Weather Template, there is a "twist":

firstly, rename the original Cumulus\web\recordT.htm page to monthlyrecordT.htm.
Copy new file recordT.htm to Cumulus\web folder. Then tell Cumulus to process
the new file in menu Configuration --> Internet --> Files

For Local filename you have to browse to locate file monthlyrecordT.htm
in your Pc.
Remote Filename is the place to send your page monthlyrecord.htm
ex. public_html/monthlyrecord.htm (remark no capital T)
Finally, you have to tick options FTP? and Process?
Hope this will be better! 

Regards,
Jacques

G'day Jacques,

Thanks for the reply, I have followed you steps, and the page now loads and shows the all time records, only problem now is it does not look like the rest of the site, just a white page with no sunny weather style.

Please advise how to make the page look the same as rest of site.

site is located at http://www.vk4fsrd.net/wx

Thanks

Hi Sr,

Problem is only because that page belong to the Cumulus Standard Template,
not to the Sunny Weather Template!

Take a new copy from .zip file.

Jacques,

Thanks all working now, thanks for your help, I am new to using CSS and still learning.

Would you be so kind as to assist me with one other small item, on my site as www.vk4fsrd.net/wx
I am making some small changes to the sunny template for my use, I have so far combined the infos and system pages and also added a lightning tracker page. My question is, in the menu items at the top, I would like to have one of the menu items show as a different colour, the one that links back to the main site, labelled VK4FSRD home, I would like this to appear as white writing on a black background so that it stands out from the others, can you explain how I could alter the CSS to do this.

Thanks

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Sr,

To change the style of your menu, you can use a css trick
to modify style for the last menu item: li:last-child

You have to edit both the night style file sunny_weather0.css
and the day style file sunny_weather1.css

Look to find a serie of menu styling sections starting with: #menusite
Under them, add a section like this one:

#menusite li:last-child a {
   background-color: black;
   color: green;
}

That will give you a black tab with green text.

Hope this help!

Merry New Year,
Jacques

G'day Jacques,

Thanks for the reply, I could not get the following to work

#menusite li:last-child a {
   background-color: black;
   color: green;
}

So I did some research as to why this was not working, it may be the browser I am using as Google says that some versions of IE have a issue with the li:last-child code in CSS.

I had to use #menusite li.last-child  in the CSS and then use <li class="last-child"><a href="http://www.vk4fsrd.net">VK4FSRD Home</a></li> in the html page.

This all seems to be working fine now, I have also added a local Rain Radar page. 

My next project will be to work on some custom header images.

Again thanks for your help

Happy New Year

Regards
Steve
