How create other gizmo?

Hi everyone here .
I have again one interesting problem,but I don’t know I’ll- if capable him explain in such a degree simply,to you are him all twigged.Website of my cities(domicile) portrayals actual data about weather,which gains from me(WD 24/7).Indeed do not like them design gizmo generated and upload on server over FTP from of my WD.When the view on http://www.pocatky.cz/new/pages/index.Php catch sight of,in what form on their website picture my data.Form which you see on website of my cities is created mine friend(webmaster),which one of data ,which generate WD forms other design and send round her over its hosting on website cities.Me it seems this progress uselessly very intricate that is why ask: might I create form,which suits website of my cities right on the WD and straight her send round on www.pocatky.cz/new/pages/index.Php without any middleman? If it programme WD will prove create,you can me write detailed progress step by step.I would have most grateful behind every counsel.If me perhaps owing to imperfect translation of my PC translator don’t you understand,write me it upon this seats and I try to ensure translation over friend Jeff and his friend which talks Czech.Thank you to all Jirka

Uoy’re URL’s give an error:

`Not Found
The requested URL /new/pages/index.Php was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.27 Server at www.pocatky.cz Port 80`

Do you mean you like a customised screen with your own background and your own weather data on it (like the one in my signature)?

It is a capitalization error. Maybe the translation software got carried away. The url is
www.pocatky.cz/new/pages/index.php

I should have noticed that :oops:, ah well after a long day at work :wink:

I think a CustomScreen will let you create something like that. Don’t know if you can put an arrow in to show the trend, though.

Have a look at http://weer.khoe.nl/, select ‘Diensten’ (=Services) and choose the link in the first row (Banner), last column (http://weer.khoe.nl/banner.htm might also work.

Succes,
Chow.

Hallo Chow,it seems that you are big specialist over PC and you can advise st. to with thing,which I too I don’t understand.Several your proposals,which I look - over on your very happy website me prompt,he should put create some similar picture (gizmo) what after me requires provider official website cities Pocatky.Mostly similar is that what attach like screen capture.Indeed now springs question if anything like that manage and I? You have some idea how would are me could with it help? Jirka

Hi jirkapocatky,

There is an excellent FAQ bij krevilnaz here: http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/8886.

All you need is a suitable background. I used Google to find backgrounds. I had to make the image somewhat lighter, so you can read the text.

Please, first read the FAQ. If you get stuck let us know …

BTW: just put another CustomScreen on my bannerpage.

Success,
Chow.

I thank you to you behind auxiliary arm.Refer to
http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/8886 .
I already read earlier,but I am afraid that the whole production proofless draw close until successful ends.Alarm I have from possible unbuild already groovy setting WD.But I will try it.Thanks Jirka

Hi jirkapocatky,

Can you tell what didn’t work out?

Where did you get stuck?

The first time I tried, I couldn’t make a CustomScreen either. Later, when I tried again, all suddenly made sense.

If all fails there is a plan ‘Z’ (although I don’t know if that will work at all … have to consult Brian for that).

Success,
Chow.

At the weekend thereon break in.Give know. Meanwhile much word of thanks behind support. Jirka

Hallo Chow,could it be me please describe exactly step by step progress how do you do that your picture,which me seem fit for me? Yesterday I it a little tried,but I have alarm,that if me nobody unsuccessful in start of arm,perhaps it uncontrolled and I’ll do some disaster.Already I know that I have to press “View”, then “Custom screen” start option background ,then genuine mouse pick out individual entries.When the it then everything somehow tag together together, how and where it save? To the “webfiles”? A how so set so that it upload on server? Jirka

hi
when you right mouse click on the custom screen, there is an option to set the upload times to the web site…

also , now, the title of this thread is the other gizmo…you can set wd to create a 2nd gizmo, gizmo2.ig…in the web files/web page setup…is that not what was required…asa now we are onto the custom screen and how to use that?
tip with selecting the custom tag…once you release the mouse after scrolling through the custom tag, you might find yoiu over shot…then position the mouse over the tag to use and then click on that tag
note their is a special tag where you can set the text to display
also, right mouse click on the custom screen , you then toggle to show or not show the objects in that list
then simply click. hold, and drag the obecjt to where you need it
to resize, move the mouse over the object, then while holding down the ctrl key, move the mouse

Fifth line from the top, Jirka (‘Set update/upload time to webpage’).

I think to have understood (Google’s translation from Czech to English isn’t really ready for release, I guess :wink:) that he doesn’t like the design of the standard gizmo’s.

Good ones.

Note that you can probaly best resize the screen only after you’ve finished your design. And if your screen resolution isn’t that high it can happen an item you selected is placed just out of sight at the bottom (so scroll down if it seems nothing has happened).

After you resized your CustomScreen, tell WD to not display the scroll bars. That way you can’t accidently loose your settings, because you forgot to scroll your CustomScreen to the topleft of the editscreen … I learned the hard way. The settings aren’t really lost, but it’s a little work to restore them again

Success Jirka,
Chow…

Thanks Brian ,thanks Chow,you are much worthy and selfsacrificing,but i be preggers dead lost.Solve for example how abandon,remove custom tag,or thermometer ,which i portrayed and subsequently him i want immediately again remove namely are completely primitive arrangements with which here annoy.When me something begun interpret as to the in detail,lose connection and i don’t understand what as a matter of fact do you speak.Perhaps behind it can in part imperfect translation .Best comprehensible go in for me screen capture,where’s denotation what i have where tick,or set.It is but very lengthy education doodad illiterate like is me,Is me it so very sorrow,that proofless alone in this programme anything create.I hopelessly no-hoper. Jirka

to remove a visible object (custom tag or thermoter), right mouse clic, and then click that name again…its a toggle…to show or not show

Hi Jirka,

The translation will be part of the problem. You are using Google? I don’t see a Czech to English (or English to Czech).

I’m from the Netherlands so my English will have a Dutch “accent”. If that is translated to, say, German and you translate it to Czech, you’re bound to loose something (and that’s an understatement :wink:).

Making screen shots is a lot of work and at the moment I haven’t that much tools installed on my WD-computer (I try to keep it lean and mean), but I have an idea (plan ‘Z’).

I don’t know if it’s possible (Brian?), but …

  1. If you send me the background picture by mail I will make a simple example. Include in the mail the path to the background picture!
  2. I will create something simple.
  3. I mail it back to you (a section of the WDISPLAY.INI).
  4. You integrate the section in your own WDISPLAY.INI.
  5. You have a starting point and it’s maybe easier to comprehend what you should be doing.

It is a bit risky, because if you make a mistake integrating it, you might lose data and/or configuration setting. So you must make a backup of your WDISPLAY.INI before you integrate the section I send.

Before I go ahead I would like to know I Brian thinks it’s possible this way … (I know, there are a few traps, but I think :wink: that I have them covered.)

yes, its a way, using the wdisplay.ini file and sections from it…
but for testing,you could have a test version of WD (thats what i do)
i.e have a file called 2wd.txt in that test location
then the wdisplay.ini becomes wdisplay2.ini
(or 3wd.txt and wdisplay3.ini, etc)

Ok Jirka,

Let’s give it a try. Send also a copy of your WDISPLAY.INI too, so I can instruct you exactly where the sections I send you need to be integrated in your working version.

It will be tomorrow, as I’m turning in now …

I will install a second copy of WD (good tip Brian, tnx)… on my “working” PC, so I won’t ruin my weather computer :wink:

Ok Jirka,

I received your files. And I see you’ve already created a CustomScreen! Very well!

I experienced a network outage this morning, so I will look at them later today.

BTW: I prefer to keep the discussion going on this forum, so if anyone else has ideas/corrections they can join in.

Hi Jirka,

You put the ’
