I’m reading the directions on installing the gauges, but am I supposed to use the Cumulus directions to get started, cause when you scroll to the WD directions, all that is listed is this:
These files will work with WD if you switch the following value in gauges.js:
weatherProgram : 0,
To…
weatherProgram : 1,
This will make the script use the WD customclientraw.txt file rather than the Cumulus realtimegauges.txt file. A template for this file suitable for processing by WD is provided in the zip file - customclientrawlocal.txt
To process the customclientrawlocal.txt, in WD you need to:
in control panel, webfiles/web page setup, real time ftp setup
see the custom client raw file setup...and tick to create that
make sure the needed customclientrawlocal.txt is in the clientraw folder location
The provided HTML files gauges-ssT.htm etc, are designed to be ‘processed’ by Cumulus before uploading to the web site and renaming as gauges-ss.htm This processing replaces all the tags like <#location> with general information about your station (the station name) in this case.
To use the templates with WD you will have to manually edit the HTML file, and replace each of these tags with information appropriate to you. I suggest you then save the file as gauges-ss.htm
You will also want to replace the Menu bar at the bottom of the HTML page which is specific to the Cumulus sample web pages.
customclientrawlocal.txt
The value for Humidex is set to Celsius by default. You may want to change this tag from %humidexcelsius% to %humidexfaren% if you use Fahrenheit as your temperature scale. (there is no WD tag to report the value in your default scale). This and the forecast tag (see above) are the only things you should have to edit in the ccr file.
I’m confused as where to start and which files from the zip folder I’m supposed to upload to my server. thanks.
