Next consolewd version

[wgcampbell]

No - wasn't trying to be funny - sorry if you took me wrong.

Actually if someone wants one line only log files, can't they use the wxlocal.html -> wx.html option?  It doesn't appear that the wxlocal.html file has to be a properly (formatted) structured html file.

[Weather Display]

yes, they could

another thing that would probably need to be optional
did you need the file to be date stamped, so that it restarts with a new month?

[wgcampbell]

No, I wouldn't need the date stamp - logrotate takes care of that, is very simple to use, and offers many options.

i will see if i can get an update out today with the ability to create a appended custom logfile

also I am going to investigate the possibilty of creating jpg image graphs,like the full version, by dyncamicly creating them in memory...

[Weather Display]

new update ready
from the download page
or
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/consolewd.tar.gz
see the options added to the config.txt to create a custom log

[wgcampbell]

First, thanks for providing this option.

I downloaded the new file.  I see two options in the config.txt file:

Code: [Select]

custom log out=/home/geoff/wdisplay/customlogout.txt
do custom log=Y
...and now have a new "consolewd" executable.

I have a customlog.txt file (in my wdisplay directory) that reads:

Code: [Select]

%date%,%time%,%bara%,%temp%,%hum%,%indoortemp%,%indoorhum%
Running GoWDconsole.sh does confirm "will update custom log" and confirms the "custom log out" file.  But I'm not getting a custom log out file any where that I can find.  Am I missing another related option in the config.txt file?

[Weather Display]

I guess I should actualy test, rather than just assume the code will work.....will test today...

[Weather Display]

i found out the problem
a flag that was being reset

new vers 5.8 ready now

also for where you set the custom logfile file name, just have the file name to use after the =
i.e remove the // and the words after that

I also have improved the Davis VP syncing....applying that to the full QT version now too

[wgcampbell]

OK, it looks like I'm getting close.  It says "updating custom log now", but I get no log file.  And yes, I did get rid of the comments after "custom log out="  .  The "custom log out" file (if created) would be located in the "wdisplay" directory - nothing unusual.  Other things seem to work -  "clientrawdaily.txt" and "clientrawextra.txt" seem to be getting updated.  Interestingly though, wxlocal.html option doesn't create a wx.html file either, and it seems like I had this working before.

???

the custom log is working OK for me
in testing here
make sure that the filename you set after the = then also has no spaces after it
I had not tested the wxlocal.html -> wx.html, but I will test that is still working

[wgcampbell]

OK - now it's working.  Had the full path before for the (custom log) file name - looks like that was the problem.  wxlocal.html still doesn't seem to be working, although that's not something I am going to use.

Thanks...

just realised you will need to set
Use this filename instead of wx.html=

in the config.txt file
