Weather by You!

I have recently switched to Cumulus MX on a Raspberry Pi and two issues have come up on my Weather Eden based site. The most important one is that the graphs do not update. I contacted Steve and he said he was pretty sure people are using the MX graphs on the Weather By You templates but he couldn't tell me how to do it. So I'm asking here if anyone knows...? The other issue is that the Feel Like Temp always says 0.0 and the Feel Like (with sun) temp always says 255.0. Steve didn't know how those values are generated from the Cumulus data. That issue isn't as important to me but the graphs not updating is. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this working? Thanks. My site is at:

One more thing - the graph images (that aren't being processed OR uploaded by Cumulus MX, are the standard Davis Weatherlink graphs that Weather Eden uses.
Any Ideas at all?

I am having a similar issue with the graphs not updating. Using CumulusMX on a Raspberry Pi. Help in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

I can now tell you what the issue is and what needs to be done, but I can't tell you in detail how to do it, although I think I could figure out how if I was going to do it but I decided not to, at least for now. The issue is that CumulusMX does not process and upload the graphs like Cumulus 1 did. Instead, the (blank) graph images get uploaded to your site only once, manually by you, when you first install CumulusMX, and CumulusMX only uploads and updates the data for the graphs, and the data gets added to the blank graph images in the browser, using javascript, when you or anyone views the page (client side processing rather than server side). So the only way to get it to work is to somehow incorporate the graphs page that comes with CumulusMX into your Weather By You template. Or perhaps somehow modify your WBY template to work the way the CumulusMX one does using javascript. I reverted back to Cumulus 1 for that reason and because it has some features I prefer. Anyway that's the issue. I had a PM conversation with Steve about it on the Cumulus forum and he explained it to me.
Also - I made a mistake in my post above yours - the graphs are Cumulus graphs NOT Weatherlink. It had been so long that I forgot where they came from.
