New name for HWS-Template (WD34) ** Closed **

There seems to be confusion for new users of the HWS-Template (WD34) version, especially Brian Underdown is still getting multiple requests each day from non-weather34/ users.

The code of a weather 34 / version and the WD34 version is more then 90% different, especially the way the scripts operate internally. As I can not answer an internal weather34/ question, BrianU can not answer the WD34 questions either.

As requested by BrianU, I already removed all links to weather34 in the April version.
Also almost all credits with BrianU’s name or “weather34” are already removed from scripts and documentation.

But new users or users of very old versions see the 34 in WD 34 and address their questions directly to one of the e-mail adreses of weather 34 => BrianU as those links/email are embedded in all weather34/ versions, new or old.

BrianU answers those questions and direct them to the http :// wd34 .weather-template .com https://pwsdashboard.com/ website.
I asked him to not answer those mails but forward them to my email weathertemplate (at) gmail.com which I use for all my scripts/templates. Maybe that will lessen the work, but not the confusion.

I assume that a name change is a long term solution. It will lessen the confusion in the future, but I am hesitant to define a new name without the feedback from you, the current users.

If you propose a new template-name, it should be generic without my name as this is more and more a community effort and some users are already writing new blocks to be used by all.

And doctors allowed me a 12 day vacation :D/ as from tomorrow, so I post this poll here.

I will read my mail and your proposals, but answering or posting is more difficult until July 29.

I’m not a user but I voted because I see the confusion, and I think you deserve credit for all the work and structure you have put into this.

Just check here: https://pwsdashboard.com/

Hope this removes me from some interrupting emails.
If anyone find public references to weather 34 in the Personal Weather Station Dashboard (PWS_Dashboard) website, please post those here. I can probably remove them next weekend.

I will then also update the uploads removing the weather 34 fav.ico and the like.
There should none be left in Leuven Home Weather Station (wf version) which also tests the WU-api with decimals and with correct High-Low values.

After that it is time to start with the October release. :smiley:
Post your ideas in the “Wish-List” topic

I removed one from bio_popup.php today! Think I got all the others earlier. . .
