Guidance, please

[n8bmb]

Am having an issue with the templates updating the info on the server.  Can someone please tell me EXACTLY what files should be uploaded by Cumulus, what should be processed (or not) or remote filenames changed (or not).

Have tried many different variations and nothing seems to make a difference.  Or, is it something I am not doing - Am almost at my wits end here!

Hi,

It depends on which template you have downloaded, but for all php template
a file is universal: wt_data_inc.php!

You begin by sending all files AND folders to your website and tell Cumulus
to process the file as indicated in instructions. What cause most problem is
the name of your remote (web) folder. Usually, it is public_html, but could be
internet, www... or what else!

Hope this help!

Sort of - I will assume, then, the ONLY file that is supposed to be "processed" by cumulus is the wt_data_inc.php file?

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi n8,

As I told you, I don't know which template you have choosen
and haven't any link to see what is going on... then, with as little
informations I have, I couldn't say much.

I think that you are using a Php template, because you posted
in "Php Templates" section... but you don't give informations
about that neither!!
Then, please to be helped, you need to send more infos!

Using "Weather Blues V2".  Site is n8bmb.com/weather - need anything else?

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi n8,
(Your first name could be a good thing too!) 
First thing, your template is completely mixed! 
You probably have downloaded and installed Weather Blues v1
template before installing v2! Then, all is mixed, as I see in your
first page that you have all <#...> webtags, and these are for v1
Html template and v2 is PHP template!

Then, first thing to do is to wipe all that you have downloaded from
this site and begin from zero, with a clean install. After, you will be able
to follow instructions with really better chances of success

Follow attentively that link: http://weatherbyyou.com/wb_sheet.php
... and drop a post if something go bad!

I checked what you said, then went and downloaded (again) the V2 version - and just for giggles (BEFORE I even unzipped the files to anywhere) I decided to check the code from the fresh downloaded file (wt_data_inc.php).  EVERYTHING in the code is what you said it shouldn't be <#.....>.  So is this the problem, then?  If so, then it seems you have packaged the incorrect code into the .php files.

Hi n8,
What a complicated thig this php! 

wt_data_inc.php file is a "converter" file, then it's normal to have things like:
$temp = '<#temp>';

because Cumulus processing convert it to something like this:

$temp = '21,2';

Then, have you ticked case "ftp?" and "process?"

Regards,

Yes, both "ftp" and "process" are checked for wt_data_inc.php.  Is there any other file that needs to be adjusted the same way?  Should ALL files in the local computer be uploaded by Cumulus or just a certain few?  This is one of the things I was asking in my original post.  What should be checked, unchecked, etc.   There could be something I am missing here.  Just trying to figure out what it is.  If someone has correct Cumulus settings, I would appreciate the help here.

[Mr.Meteo]

Send ALL files with ftp software to your site!

Process the ONLY file: wt_data_inc.php! See 1st post

(More than 500 dl on that template w/o problem!)

[n8bmb]

Ok, this is getting to be real stupid.  I KNOW ALL FILES HAVE TO BE PLACED ONTO THE SERVER VIA FTP.  WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER FILES THAT NEED TO BE UPLOADED BY CUMULUS OR IS THE WT_DATA FILE THE ONLY ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED BY CUMULUS?  ARE THERE ANY OTHER SETTINGS THAT I MAY BE MISSING?   

[uncle_bob]

IS THE WT_DATA FILE THE ONLY ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED BY CUMULUS?

Yes, that is all that needs to be processed.
All the template files need to be manually uploaded to your webserver in the structure as downloaded from this site.

[n8bmb]

Ok, so just that I am clear, the wt_data_inc.php is the ONLY file that gets uploaded and "processed" by Cumulus.  ALL others are placed on the server.  There are NO OTHER files that get uploaded or processed by Cumulus.  Correct?

[uncle_bob]

Correct
