Flash

What would be really nice would be if either one of you could figure out how to optionally use the linear (thermometer style) gauges :smiley:

What will happen with WDL on the desktop

when you say desktop, how do you mean exactly?
do you mean WDL built into WD
or viewing WDL in a browser on your pc locally?

It did have a linear gauge for temp Niko,

demo: http://www.meteotemplate.com/templateTest/testing/index.php

But I have learned a lot since I made this so I would further optimize it

Oops, sorry not to be specific Jachym, I forgot you had made one, but I was thinking this was about the Steel Gauges :oops:

it is about steel gauges/series too
as an alternative to WDL

On my local PC, Brian


that is WDL built into WD
that uses internet explorer
so I presume that will be OK for a while yet ?

I wouldn’t use ie, it is dead too… Replaced by Edge

its not directly used, but uses the drivers for it

Apparently it works in Pale Moon,too :smiley:

For viewing WD Live on home network, I have been using Swiff Player from http://www.globfx.com/products/swfplayer/ for the past couple of years.
Has worked perfectly with shortcut to xxxxx\wdisplay\webfiles\wdlv6_09.swf on computers running Windows XP, Windows 7 Pro (64) and Windows 8.1 Pro (64).
I assume a web browser is not required in this case.

Cheers

Yes, there are many programs that will display Flash, but the problem is that many people have WDL on their websites and if the users dont have a browser that supports it, it will not be displayed

Another nail in the coffin…

And so it continues… 8O

I thought apple already blocked flash quite a while ago, what am I missing?

I believe that was only for its mobile devices

Hi all,

Ive recently bought WD and love it, Brian helped with getting WD to read my station and it works great, thank you so much.
Ive always really liked the look of WDL, its perfect in my opinion…but, its flash and just spend 5 minutes on the internet
looking at all info about the ‘powers that be’ wanting to kill of flash forever and I really feel its going to happen soon.

Steel gauges are nice, but I really wanted the WDL look for my homepage because its just great. So its either steel or just a basic
wd page for me on my home page, if only WDL could be converted easily to html5, but coding is never simple I suppose.

Can anyone give me some links to good pages built straight from wd, not wdl ?

Thanks, Michael

some people have integrated the steel gauges into their web pages (along the top)
example web page templates include the Saratoga Dashboard, Meteotemplate, Leuven, Alternative Dashboard, Carterlake

Thanks Brian,

I have been looking at various threads including that one, I think I may just see what I can do with wd’s own page creator.

Unfortunately, I think it is only a matter of time before this will not even be possible to enable (not it will just be disabled by default)
