Cumulus Support

The beteljuice has been playing as usual.

Herewith an alternative Monthly Extremes page (Template) using <#webtag>s.

Requires Cumulus V1.9.3 or above OR Cumulus MX

This example won't update and is for illustrative purposes only:

Alternative Example

SEE LOWER DOWN FOR NEW Neil Thomas template version

You can set the 'default' view.
You can give the visitor the option of views (or not).

Although it's full of JavaScript, it is JS 'safe'. If a visitor has JS disabled then they see the 'normal' (list) style for EVERY month (the nav buttons should then scroll up / down to the required month).

Edit: Zip files contain BOTH v1.9.4 AND MX versions - use the right one for you !

Template file only needs to be processed / uploaded once every 24hr. - rename to suit yourself.

Edit: Mar 2021 - MX versions ONLY, incorrect hours:mins format bug fix.
ALL versions - jQuery newer ver 'called', and future js bug fix.



Editing / language changes:

There are a LOT of things that require a very good knowledge of find and replace techniques.

If you change ANYTHING with a time format in it I recommend changing one at a time and testing !!!

If anyone does a non-english version could they please post it for others ?


(My eternal thanks to Steve for helping me in some nasty debugging - and to paulmy with the MX version )


New mx 10.3 template version ONLY

The beteljuice is slowly trying out his playthings in the 'new' Neil Thomas templates ...

This one is a rewrite to use the weatherdata.json file instead of having to be processed / uploaded by Cumulus.

Part of the README.txt file ...

zip file contents:-
alt_monthlyrecord.htm
css/alt_mon.css
js/alt_monthlyrecdata.js
this README.txt

Upload the files to your website.

Menu:
There are two ways you can handle this:

1/ (NOT recommended) back-up your existing monthlyrecord.htm and rename alt_monthlyrecord.htm to monthlyrecord.htm.

2/ (Prefered) Copy and BACK_UP YOUR EXISTING js/ menu(type).js
Edit the filename in the (new) js/ menu file

That's it ...

Easter Egg ...

(You'll have to download the file to find out )

Well done Beteljuice

for some reason Dreamweaver's error-checker protests there is a syntax error on line 185, but I can't find it...

The page works ok, though.

Cheers.

Minor bug fix (already)

Wet / dry 'from' month was one out.

It doesn't look as good in IE8, sorry.

Views ok in IE9 and Chrome, although sizing is slightly different.

If you are checking the Template - I'm surprised that's all it's screaming about !

That is first of many Cumulus processed time formats and contains lots of single / double quotes and < >.

Should test OK once processed by Cumulus ?

That's why I had so much trouble debugging it in the first place

Yes, that's better...

beteljuice wrote:Should test OK once processed by Cumulus ?

Correct, no problems once all the quotes and tags converted.

Firefox validation plug-in picks up 789 warnings!

Firebug 1.9.1 plug-in is all clear.

Are you talking about the html validator which seems to have been a bit sick for nearly a year ?
Anyways - It works - until someone find out differently that is ...

I'm using HTML Validator 0.9.5.1 and Web Developer 1.1.9
They're ok for most pages, but some with lots of javascript seem to get too complex for the validator, so I generally just leave alone.

Edit: ...after making a mental note (which I usually forget in 5 minutes)...

Sign of the times ...

You build a better mousetrap ...... and everyones too busy playing with their mobile 'phones

Love this!

Just worries me about the upload every 15 minutes, as it's quite a large file.

Regards.

Valid comment ....

It only really needs to be processed / uploaded once every 24hrs sometime after your station 'roll-over' time.

I will let someone else describe the technique of removing it from 'standard' upload and using 'toolbox' or whatever to do the business.

Any volunteers .....

That's a good shout, i use toolbox already. So i guess save the monthlyrecordT.htm somewhere else? Then open the monthlyrecordT.htm up in the default upload folder and delete the contents?

Regards.

List style displays "F" but table style displays "C". Can I edit this somewhere?

I think I found it, I edited lines 632-636 and 648-352.....
