They're on the 'default' gauges page supplied with Cumulus, and they use the realtime.txt file, which you are already uploading. That's all you need (as long as you follow the instructions).

Sorry, I thought you had removed the gauges from the page. But they are there, it's just that you seem to have done some modifications to the page which I don't understand, which appear to be the cause of the problem. Something to do with "AC_FL_RunContent" which is giving a 'not defined' error.

Error: AC_FL_RunContent is not defined

Yes. It seems to be looking for the AC_FL_RunContent script and not finding it. Perhaps you need to upload it.

I'm sorry, but my knowledge is limited also - I don't know what that script is. When someone gave you the web page templates, didn't they give you any other files, and instructions?

They gave me these templates to change
- indexT.htm
- gaugesT.htm
- todayT.htm
- yesterdayT.htm
- trendsT.htm
I think that the gaugesT.htm they gave me doesn`t have the gauges i am looking for.

The gauges are in the CumulusRealtime.swf Flash file - which you have uploaded - and they are loaded by the gauges.htm file. But they're not working because of the missing script.

If i change to the old gaugesT.htm i will loose the Greek language and many people will not understand what they are reading.I think i can live without real time wind data.

Well done. I don't know why it was changed in the first place, when it works perfectly well as it is.

Because that's when your realtime.txt file was last uploaded: http://kalamata.meteoclub.gr/realtime.txt

Have you still got realtime enabled? If so, you probably have some sort of FTP problem so you'll need to turn on ftp logging and look at the realtimeftplog.txt file.
