Hi there. You're templates looks great, thanks!
But there are to things I miss there.
No1 is the total change in days length hours and minutes since winter/ summer solstice and how many minutes the days length has changed since yesterday.
Will this be possible to implement?

Hi,

Day lenght difference between days aren't included in templates as Cumulus have only
one webtag for that and it is "not recommended" by Cumulus, as stated in the wiki:
Quote
<#tomorrowdaylength> 
A string giving an approximate predicted difference between the length of daylight today and tomorrow. This web tag is unreliable, and its use is not recommended. Its use is therefore not supported (i.e. you use it at your own risk).

So, a reliable script has to be developped to adress this enhancements.
you could add it to "Wish list" (in forum menu) and if others agree something
would be done.

Regards,
Jacques

Unreliable? Howcome? If you have the lat-long the numbers will be super accurate. There are tables for this, so it will not be predicted but taken from a table.. By the way Cumulus already has the change in minutes-seconds from today until tomorrow.:-)  See the link: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html
