Hi Linda,

Yes, you can run the CumulusMX UI style multilingual website on you local network

BUT

You would need to install a webserver on your local network and configure CumulusMX to deliver the files to the local webserver instead of to a webserver on the internet.

Thank you for your comprehensive reply, this is the sort of thing that I was looking for. I’ve found sitting with an iPad and being able to look at my weather data on CumulusMX a brilliant experience. For what it is,the Pi is a wonderful piece of equipment, which has the advantage that as long as you have your data backed up, it’s relatively easy to start over if you really mess up!

Thank you also for the link to the article, the one thing I’ve found is that some times there’s almost too much information especially for a beginner, it’s a little overwhelming! I’ll start to slowly make this my next project and something to do during this lockdown.

Hello I run Brian's UIMX on a Raspberry pi3b, and also a local NGINX webserver on the same RPI.
That runs without any problems for a while now, just look in my signature for the url.

Alternatively, I do describe how to set up a web server using apache 2 at https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Setting_up_Ra ... _server.29

I understand the too much information issue, which is why I explained in the quote I include above, there are MANY articles about setting up a web server on a Raspberry Pi. Do a search yourself to find the article that suits you. Here are 4 that you might try:
https://www.slicethepi.co.uk/install-apache2-with-php/ - just a short page to read, how to install apache
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... r/nginx.md - from the Raspberry Pi makers, how to install NGINX webserver
https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2013/ ... pberry-pi/ - Lighttpd is a lightweight web server application that works well on the Pi.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /apache.md - from the Raspberry Pi makers, how to install apache

There appears to be something strange going on with yesterday's dominant wind bearing under the Today/Yesterday menu tab.
My page shows 95° SW. Indicating the at least one of the fields is incorrect.

When I view page source I can see a bearing of 225 which looks correct for yesterday.
I have noticed that if I refresh the page 225 flashes up momentarily before showing the lower figure. This is more noticeable on BCJKiwi's and PaulMy's sites, which have the same "error" and where the response, for me, is slightly slower.

I am on Cumulus1

My page is here http://www.fordingbridgeweather.co.uk/c ... ayyest.php

Hello,

I have the same phenomenon at home. A screenshot of the CumulusMX site and the Cumulus interface, with different data for yesterday.

OK,

Have tracked the cause to a typo in ajaxCUmx.js

FOR C1
Search ajaxCUmx.js for
domwindbearingY
( at line 956 in C1 )
var domwindbearingY = realtime[3]; // dominant direction degrees yesterday

REPLACE with ( or just edit the line )
var domwindbearingY = realtime[133]; // dominant direction degrees yesterday

FOR MX
If you have the .min version of ajaxCUmx.js ( MX sites ),
do the same for the ajaxCUmx.js file in src ( at line 934 )
rename ajaxCUmx.min.js to something else so you retain your customisation settings, and copy the modified ajaxCUmx.js to the main folder and rename to ajaxCUmx.min.js and update your customisation settings.

That's great thank you.
That's sorted it for my Cumulus1.

I have another question on the Today/Yesterday page.
Is it possible to remove the UoM from the Today's Hourly Rainfall field and Yesterday's Rainfall Rate Max and Hourly Rainfall fields?
It would make things look more consistent.
Thanks,
http://www.fordingbridgeweather.co.uk/c ... ayyest.php

OK,
More typos in ajaxCUmx.js

C1
Remove + uomRain from
lines 990, 995 and 1005

MX
Remove + uomRain from
lines 962, 967 and 977

Thanks for letting me know

Thanks a lot.
I had looked at those lines but with my lack of expertise wasn't keen to tinker.

CumulusMX and Cumulus1 UI style Multilingual Websites

Cumulus1 Version 2.1.6 now available in first post.

This 2.1.6 Cumulus1 update is a catch up on the various changes that have been happening in ver 2.1.4, 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 of the MX version.

A lot of the changes in MX have been to charts which do not apply to Cumulus1.
However there are a number of other 'improvements' that are included.

The current version 2.1.6 can be viewed at https://silveracorn.nz/cumulus1

Dennisdg noticed my site (and others) was showing -20 for the feelslike guage.

It seems the latest builds include an old version of realtimegaugesT.txt dated 4/03/2015

This is a file from build 3099 dated 31/10/2020 which includes feelslike.
