CumulusMX and Cumulus1 UI style Multilingual Websites

[HansR]

It was a long, long time ago, but I was a system analyst/programmer once and well used to taking format decisions for internal data and user interface. I'm not going to continue the wider discussion Hans wants, but Cumulus (like any software package) is free to decide what formats it works with, and it is not for anybody else to say it must only produce output obeying one set of format rules.

That's all very fine but:

1) Are you the one who takes this type of decisions?
2) What about V4?
3) I do not necessarily want a wide discussion, but I see this issue (or discussion) pop up much too often (and I made my own decisions, no problem there).

Yes, I think it is time to rethink something. If I am the only one, fine so be it. But technique, thought, experience and the software itself evolves. I am not questioning anybody's competence, but I don't think it is good to ignore other competent opinions either. And I definitely think it's a bad thing to ignore evolution.

The problem is that not all the web tags required by these web pages are available in RC format.

Well, the RCxxxx tags are a bit redundant now, all numeric tags can use the option "rc=y" to force dot decimals.

I exchanged in the realtime-xMXT.txt the "normal" tags against the "RC"-tags and it works: https://www.buchenau-net.de/Wetter/CMX-UI_5/index.php (static site)

Code: Select all

As already writen, unfortunately not all needed tags have a "RC-counterpart". So I tried to use the "rc=y" (tested with <#temptrend rc=y> and <#apptemp rc=y>), but without succsess. Did I understand something wrong with the "rc=y" option?

I think the syntax is

Code: Select all

<#temptrend format="rc=y">

[Frank G]

Code: Select all

<#temptrend format="rc=y">

Tested, but doesn't work.

[mcrossley]

Sorry, my bad, I thought rc=y was implemented globally - it isn't, only some tags. I checked and it's still on the *long* todo list to do rest.

No Commas
See the first post this thread.

There is now a .zip file available with all the files and all the RC - no commas changes that are officially available.
There is even a HowTo file and the official list of tags that can accept the RC switch.

I am not sure if everything will be fixed with these changes but it is the best I can do at short notice.

[BCJKiwi]

Hmm not working for me.

tested and see the output to the page is
16.861107607179
where apptemp is 19.4

Tried a round(......,1) and it does produce a decimal 1 xx.x but sometimes no xx.0 just xx but the degrees are off.

It seems to move around. Anything from 14 deg through to 18deg when apptemp is stable in the low 19deg range.

$RCapptemp = round(<#temp> + (0.33 * <#hum>/100* 6.105 * exp (17.27 * <#temp>/(237.7 + <#temp>))) - (0.7 * <#wlatest>) -4,1);
and
<?php include_once('CUTagsx.php'); echo $RCapptemp; <br> ?>

I'm running it at realtime so wondering if it has something to do with wlatest so trying at interval when wlatest is updated as well (presumably. But ajax is running on the page and it updates apptemp at realtime.
In th eforst minute after interval it sat at 18 when apptemp was 19.2

[sfws]

Answer deleted, it quoted incorrect regular expression.

[mcrossley]

$RCapptemp = round(<#temp> + (0.33 * <#hum>/100* 6.105 * exp (17.27 * <#temp>/(237.7 + <#temp>))) - (0.7 * <#wlatest>) -4,1);

Apparent temp should use the average wind speed, not the latest raw value. If you use wlatest then the result will jump around all over the place.

[Dennisdg]

Request for help please.

I've got CumulusMX UI up and running but cannot get either Current Conditions and System Forecast to work.

In Settings.php I have set $show_cc_conds = 1 and $show_stnfcst = 1

Running Davis Vantage PRO2

I guess I've not set something right?

Thanks Mark for putting this at the top of your long todo list with v3.5.4 (3075). It seems to work.

Here is my realtime-xMXT.txt with "rc=y" option:

Hi Frank,
Looks good.
I presume you are still working on the Charts as they don't yet?

Enjoy,
Paul

[Frank G]

I presume you are still working on the Charts as they don't yet?

Yes. For whatever reason, they're not working yet. But one thing at a time, at the moment I'm still working on the German translation ...
If you have a hint for me what I did wrong with the charts, I would appreciate.

Frank
