New Weather Station in Jersey (UK) Using The Sunset Templates

[dononecrocker]

First i would like to say thanks to everyone involved in creating all the available templates, you have done a fantastic job.
I would like to be able to say i managed to get everything working 1st time but i can't.
Although i have managed to add some nice location photos and a bit of customising i still cant quite get the finer details of a couple of the templates working on the Sunset Templates.
1. The GAUGES wont update for some reason.
2. The RECORDS Tab seems to include two headers and does not have any relevant data for each month.
3.The TRENDS tab shows old data only
Any help to resolve these problems would be greatly appreciated.
you can find my weather station at the link below

Hi Don,

Trends and gauge pages depends on Cumulus images, then be sure
tht "include standard images" is ticked on page Configuration --> Internet --> Files.

For your records page, replace your page with a fresh copy and for "numbers",
you have to initialize it; see that post: http://weatherbyyou.com/forum/index.php?topic=515.msg1731;topicseen#msg1731

Hope this help,
Jacques

Thanks for your help Mr Meteo - i have now managed to sort out my RECORDS multi-records problem and have updated my monthly records accordingly.
Still having problems with my Gauges not updating and also my TRENDS are noyt updating but i will have another go at resolving this problem.

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Don,
Things are going better!! 

For images problem, as I told you, tick option "include Standard Images"
in Cumulus menu Configuration --> Internet --> Files tab (see picture)
and see on your website (with your ftp program) if image timestamp change!

Hope this help,
Jacques

Hi Jacques - thanks for your comments - i have processed as suggested but still my gauges do not work - any ideas? i have included a photo of my setup at present.

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Don,

You processed wrong file! Don't process ss_gauges.php
for Steelseries it's realtimegaugesT.txt

Local filename : realtimegaugesT.txt
Remote filename:realtimegauges.txt

Regards,
Jacques

Thanks very much Jacques - my Gauges are all working as expected now.
just one more problem - On my SYSTEM page the details regarding the battery status is spread across the screen - is this correct or do i need to amend the data somehow to resolve?

Hi Don,
Your site is looking good. The photos brought back memories of a day trip we had to Jersey a couple of years ago.
Did you have any of the snow that hit the Cherbourg peninsula a few days ago? A friend of mine in Saint Pierre Eglise was snowed in for a couple of days which I think is a bit unusual.
We had a few flakes but most fell to the east of us.

Hi,
I must admit that I have not a Davis, so I've not worked on it! 

To solve your problem, a little modification to line #119:

<td style="padding-left: 70px; padding-right: 25px"> <?php echo $battery. ' '.$txbattery; ?></td>

Your text will be aligned.

But problem with Davis seems that 'channels' are 'ok' if no sensor is present!
So, you probably have not 8 sensors!, so you can probably 'call' only channel
that you have, like this:

<br />House<?php echo $txbattery1; ?>
<br />GreenHouse<?php echo $txbattery2; ?>
<br />Stable<?php echo $txbattery3; ?>
...

Hope this help!

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Pete - thanks for the comments of the site i intend on updating with more photos soon. The island was at a standstill for 2 days with drifts hiding some cars and 3ft drifts in my garden - this amount is probably quite small compared to some areas of the world but as we probably have less than 1inch in the usual year we are never ready for a large amount.

[dononecrocker]

Hi Jacques - again thank-you for your quick response - which file do i need to modify?

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Don,

Edit the system.php file!

Regards,
Jacques

[dononecrocker]

Thanks again Jacques  - realised it was the system_txt.php and now sorted.
Any idea why my gauges weather forecast does not scroll?

[Mr.Meteo]

Hi Don,
That's a clue! Page looks ok, no errors generated.
Try to put a fresh copy of 'lib' folder, in your site!

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Don,
To make your gauges forecast scroll, in your gauges.js file, try changing the code at about line 464 from

alwaysScroll      : false
to
alwaysScroll      : true

It worked for me.
