Hi, and welcome to the Weather-Display community!
I’m just a bit confused about which version of the Carterlake templates you are using. Is it the full site set from http://www.carterlake.org/webtemplates.php (i.e. http://members.cox.net/carterlakeweather/templatewebsite1.zip ) or the AJAX versions of the Carterlake templates from http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-WD-AJAX.php ?
For either set, you don’t need to delete files in your Weather Display \webfiles directory. Just unzip the contents into the webfiles directory. If you’re using the AJAX version, then the entire \ajax-images directory needs to be uploaded to your website (as /ajax-images ) in order to display the wind direction and current condition icons.
You can use notepad (or other text editor) to customize the contents of the wxlocal.html … wxlocal9.html files in the \webfiles directory. At a minimum, you’ll need to change the site name and contact info.
The carterlake ‘readme.doc’ (and my ‘readme.pdf’ in the AJAX set) do need to be updated with current screen captures in the settings as the Internet File Creation panel has changed quite a bit since the doc was done. If you don’t want to change the names of the uploaded files, then you probably don’t need to change the default settings in Internet File Creation tab – you will need to set up the regular FTP functions, and do the image file uploads in the doc.
If you have the AJAX templates, then you’ll need to upload the /ajax-images files once to your website, and set up the real-time FTP for clientraw.txt (so that AJAX can display the real-time conditions).
Hope this helps…
Best regards,
Ken
