Cumulus Weather Diary

[glenn.vadney]

Anyone,

Does anybody know how to manipulate the "log.xml" file in the data folder so that you can enter snow lying in fractions of an inch........., the default is whole integer.  I need to add decimal places to this line:

<FIELD fieldtype="i4" attrname="SnowDepth"/>

Thanx..............

HI Glen:

I post a question on Sandysoft under "Fine Offset" form titled log.xml I would like to be able to add a decimal to mine aswell. I asked this a while ago and one person told me it couldn't be done. My on line name is monkey38 so it will be easier to find it in the forum on sandusoft.

Hi Glen:

Below is what was suggested to me to try and I thought I would pass it on to you aswell.
I have not done this as it is all greek to me.

1. Change the snow unit to '1/10 inch' in Display Settings
2. Record your snow in 1/10 of an inch units in the Weather Diary (i.e. multiply your measurement by 10 so for '0.5 inch' and '10.5 inch' enter 5 and 105
3. The data entered in your 'Current:' field is already flxible so no change needed here
4. Change the hard-coded unit description in the indexT.htm to suit
 
Not pretty but should show snow more precise,

Hi Glenn: Below was posted from Steve the man that wrote the Cumulus program.




Can't be done, sorry. One day I may change the weather diary for something better, and improve the way snow is recorded. The only way to record tenths of an inch is to put the value in as tenths of inches, e.g. 2.3 inches would go in as '23'.
