Cumulus Support

you need to create an external script which redefines all
the LANG.xxx values, and then calls the changeLang() function

I hope you enjoyed the ginger beer -

Is there a new gauges.js with the changeLang() or did I miss it in the new zip?

George

It's still cooling

The changeLang() function is in gauges.js - starting at line 1341

The changeLang() function is in gauges.js - starting at line 1341

But my question really is: where is the new gauges.js - it was not in the zip you posted for v 1.0 - at least not that I found.

Don't let that ginger beer freeze before you get to it.

George, that is odd, other people have downloaded it OK. I just tried from another laptop and it was OK too. Maybe you have a bad copy in your browser cache?

Thanks Mark

That got the Baro fixed -
My wind gauge is in Kph when all my settings are mph

Dont think I screwed up

Hi Ron, yep my mistake, line 266 of gauges.js should read

cumulus.windunit = 'mph';

It looks like this got changed somewhere along the way when I was exchanging scripts with Ray. I'll update the zip shortly...

EDIT: First post in this thread now contains v1.0.1

Also it looks like you may have edited the file at some point and not saved it as UTF-8 as you have odd characters in front of the degree symbols.

Mark

George, that is odd,

It is indeed - PeaZip was not reading the folders -I switched to WinZip and they appeared.

GW

mph edited and fixed here - thanks

Mark, it is not and was not your mistake - I changed the 'mph' to 'km/h' when I first received the scripts.

It certainly did not (and still does not) make sense to me that the default UoM (unit of measure) settings for the pressure, the rain and the temperature were in metric and, for some unknown reason, the default UoM setting for the wind speed was in imperial!

Are the UoM settings not read from the 'realtimegauges.htm' data file, and if so, why is one UoM setting in a different format than the others?

I just noticed a little display problem with the gauges, a conflict between the title and the UoM ... The french-translated string length for the wind speed (ie: 'vitesse du vent') being a bit longer than the english string, the UoM below the title disappears (seems to be over written with something else) - after further tests, it seems the UoM on any of the gauges will dissappear when there are more than 11 characters in a gauge title! Any way of preventing that without making the title font size so small it can only be read while wearing thick glasses?

In the mad mixed up UK, we have half heartedly adopted metric units. So whilst deg C and hPA (or mb) are the norm, we still generally measure speeds in mph (or knots if you are nautical).

The script was written originally for my purpose and by default the wind speed is in mph. If the script detects that you use m/s or km/h it will switch the gauge to those units. The default value will continue to used if the script detects mph in the realtime file (it saves a gauge redraw), by changing it km/h we got the wrong units displayed for people using mph.

Clear as mud!?

Mark -- do you have the new package running on your website? When I click on the gauges page it says v0.9.

I've installed Cumulus 1.9.2 and SS Gauges 1.0.1 -- so far no issues. I did NOT update the Cumulus web templates (yet).

Thanks

Jim, timely reminder, I've updated my live page to a test version of 1.0.2 now.

Mark what about my second question about the number of characters in the gauge title?

Not really. the only options are a smaller font, or move the text around to a different place. I guess I could move the units to below centre, and move the title down to where the units are currently. But this is moving even further away from Gerrit's code which means more changes to move across and test when he updates the code, and I'm already a couple/few of updates behind him.
