Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Kapo,
After translating the error into English it looks like there is an error with a
String to Integer conversion.
I have wrapped three areas of code within a "Try and Catch error handler", to see
if I can pinpoint the exact part of the code causing the problem.
Can I ask that you download the test version 1.5.4g below and screen capture all
error messages that get displayed and post them back here.
Please note that there could be up to three MessageBoxes that get displayed.
Also if you get any other errors please post them back here again too.
Sorry, for all this testing!
Hopefully I can get to the bottom of this and get you running 100% without
errors
Thanks
Mark

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Mark!
Now my CRTDG has worked for a few days without any errors. So here in Finland everything seems to be o.k. with this.....
Only that page isn't ready where it ought to be seen... But it is only my fault....

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Mark, I hadn't expected you to spend your valuable time on my thought, but if you're so inclined the sunshine gragh that Cumulus produces is included in the Trends tab, not sure if that is helpful.
Best regards and a Happy New Year.
Paul

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Paul,
I have had a look into the sunshine graph.
But unfortunately it looks like I wont be able to add it.
The reason being, is that (as far as I can see) Cumulus sunshine graph
records the daily amount of hours the sun has shone
for, and displays a months worth of data within the graph.
Which I presume that this data is held within another log file
other than the realtime.txt file.
As Grabber only reads the realtime.txt file which does not
hold cumulative daily figures, this will mean that I can not
create a graph, sorry.

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Mark,
I have updated to v.1.5.6 and all seems to be fine
And no problem at all on the sunshine graph as I already have it on my home page from the B-L program. I had just laughingly mentioned it as it is one of the Cumulus trends graphs. But these are created by Cumulus from regularly reading a file I have added in the data folder and that is not in realtime.txt. Thanks for looking though and very much appreciate your grabber, and the nice additions you have been adding.

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the feedback.
I've tested for a couple of weeks prior to releasing this new version
just to make sure the email alerts work, which they have done
flawlessly. So hopefully once you have entered in all your email details
you will be up and running with them
All the best
Mark

Re: Cumulus RealTime Data Grabber - Tool
Thanks for your program development Mark.
I only found this little gem a few days ago and have added it to my weather PC and incorporated it into my website. Don't know if others have done this, but I've added it to my general set of HTML pages with the page header I've used for my other pages. When visitors look at my Charts page they can substitute the standard charts for your charts and associated information. Took me a while to get it all up and running, but it was fun and rewarding.
http://www.karoondaweather.com
Just choose Charts from the menu and then the button Alternate Charts.
