Re: Webtag pages ready for review

You can choose to ignore input from me, or you can choose to learn from my experience, as it was not just uncertainty about the best way to list tags that stopped me from keeping my Wiki pages up to date with MX new tags. Many MX releases ago, I did a comparison of WebTags.txt files (taking one prod...

Action Done: The migrated to hosiene Wiki

Freddie's instruction https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=167147#p167147 specifies this "General Discussion" sub-forum. I even quoted what Freddie wrote in my original post. This "General" sub-forum does include a significant thread about the Wiki , and that may be why ...

Observations for the migrated Wiki to the hosiene server

If you experience any issues relating to the migration then either start a topic in the "General" forum (preferred) ... It appears that after migration, any reader with no existing access can create a Cumulus Wiki account. Unless I am wrong, one person has already created two accounts tha...

Re: BST to GMT - am I missing something?

The issue is the way Cumulus is designed, as Freddie has hinted in all his posts. The main issue is that data stored by Cumulus MX, in recent history, CSV files, and into database tables, all use clock times, and those overwrite or have gaps at any DST changeovers. Operating your Cumulus computer at...

Re: Web Page to display snow depths from diary.db

I see you have added this to your original post: I have been informed this will only work if you run a website version from your local machine. The same machine that CMX is installed. I am working at making it usable on public website but this will probably take some time to figure out. You have bee...

Re: Web Page to display snow depths from diary.db

Here in UK, we call sum of daily snow depths, like in your tables, the snow index, expressed in centimetres here. The legacy Cumulus 1 software reported snow index, calculated from snow depths entered, for all possible periods. Steve Loft had a web page all about it (it was at www.weatherfaqs.org.uk...

Re: Using Extra Sensor 1 as main temp/hum

I have cumulus working with my ancient WMR968 and Windows 10 PC. I'm using Extra Sensor 1 as my main humidity/temp sensor but I can't figure out how to make Extra Sensor 1 as the "main" sensor. Log Extra Sensors is checked. Thanks much, Robert Perhaps you could try searching the Wiki for ...

Re: Chart display problems and data download.

PaulMy is doing an excellent job of helping you, and I'm not about to take over. However, Paul did say he was not familiar with technical issues, so I don't think he will mind if I mention what is causing your issues, and I expect you will find the background explanation removes some of your frustra...

Re: Alternative CumulusMX Interface

The other reply to my post, that is developer-oriented, (and my reply to that post as it was addressed to me) should be ignored by you and other readers. If I miss changes to other aspects of the js files then the changes should be able to be simply copied across. I am not a developer, have never be...

Re: Alternative CumulusMX Interface

The majority of releases of MX include far more changes than are specifically mentioned in the release announcements, so anybody trying to keep up to date with all the changes will struggle. Therefore I am not surprised you have not tracked all the MX standard interface file edits in your alternati...

Re: Two errors in Cumulus MX 3.21.1 b3205

A question: is it necessary to update the whole folder? or only the CumulusMX.exe file must be updated? For release 3.22.1, which is the one your recent post references as having a bug with the rain code fix, the release announcement specifically mentions a change in another file, so yes you are ex...

Re: 14 years ago today...

CMX is far, far, more complicated, and much harder to use Sorry swfs don't agree with this See if you still disagree if I expand my point: I first installed Cumulus as a way to get information onto a web site anyone could view, back then I was unaware of any other way to do that. Nowadays, whether ...
