Steelseries Gauges for WD

I’m running I.E. 8. Does this mean that this script will only run with I.E. 9? Or can it be modified to run with older versions?

Thanks, Doug

Maybe that it’s IE9 and up then.
I updated to IE10 last week and it works OK for me on that so maybe try updating. You should get it through standard Windows Update.

Thanks weatherbee, maybe I’m missing something but I can’t see that setting in there. Can you help?

Thanks,

Simon

Line 16 for me in guages.js
var g_count                 = 5;   //download data counter (secs, default 60)

Thanks Doug,

Can’t think how I missed that!

Would there be too much editing to make the gauges work with the existing clientraw.txt
I’m currently uploading?

I’ve been working on a page that combines the ajax page and the dials. Not perfected yet but what do you think?

Impossible, most of them are tags who are not in the clientraw.

BTW guys these gauges are html5 only, so make a redirect for older browsers (IE8) to your old page.

Jacco

Ah ok. So I’m confused then.

{"ver":"5","date":"<#date format=hh:nn>","temp":"<#temp>","tempTL":"<#tempTL>".......

This is the realtimegaugesT.txt file that came with the download. Which do I change in this file and then save as a
2nd file to upload in realtime?

Sorry, I just need a push in the right direction. :oops:

Go back on to Jacco’s website and download the file called “customclientrawlocal.txt” at the bottom of his download page. :wink:

Tony,

Go here http://www.hetweerinruinen.nl/steelseries-gaugs-for-wd and download the customclientrawlocal.txt. Put in in your web folders and then go to the realtime setup page and set it up to update there.

wetherbee…you are reading my mind/1 http://stillweather.com/index2.php

Jacco…thanks for the tip about html5 that’s a nice solution!

Jack nice job. Yours is much better balanced than mine.
How did you get the graphs to work?

How did you get the graphs to work?

Thanks, and they really are not yet, look at the data, it’s wrong. Working on that though! Jacco posted something about it earlier, going to look at that now.

Jack

Jack,

Those pages you’ve created are beautiful! When you’ve figured out how to implement the graphs properly, would you be kind enough to write a tutorial here, for web novices like me?

Thanks,

Simon

Thanks Guys. I’m getting there. http://cnyweather.com/gauges-ssT.htm

Barometer is updating in inches but the gauge shows in hPa

In the clientrawlocal.txt change hPa to in, the units are hardcoded :wink:

Jacco

Starting to get the graphs working with jpgraphs and as Jacco stated using wxgraphs. A good tutoral for wxgraphs can be found here http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/28585.

My gauges are a heavenly modded version of theese same steel gauges :smiley:

Biggest issue with theese are, what have been pointed here too, that they will not work in IE’s below 9 (FF/Chrome are OK).
There are no way around that (tryed to found while i did my own ones without luck).
Yes, html5 are cool, but, so long a pretty big precent of the visitors use old IE’s (50% of all IE-users on my site use IE < 9), thanks to that XP-users are stuck on IE8, will it be a “problem”, have system what works also in IE8 or create 2 different pages shown depending on browser. Sigh…

After much playing i went to a version where i used my old gauges as base wich works also in older IE’s and copyed only needles etc codes from theese new gauges. No rocketsience inside, just plain canvas-code so its easy to copy once figure out how it works. As backgrounds i used screenshots of the generated gauges without needles/numbers. As result i got new gauges what works also in older IE’s :smiley:

Depends on what you find an big issue Henkka.

If you have for example an ipad, and you go to youtube, you are also directed to a page optimized for ipad.

At the moment is is impossible to be compatible with all users, so then you have to make a choice.
Keep your website “old-fashioned” to satisfy all your users, or make a website with the latest technology,
and create a fallback for the ie8 xp users. Well then for me it is a very easy choice.

There will be xp users for ever, xp is almost 11 years old and end of life. Remember those days where in the
footer of a website it said: This page is optimized for Internet Explorer 7!

W7 is so much better than XP in my humble opinion anyway :slight_smile:
(and it works just fine on an older pc that was running XP (just done that here OK))
