System information page is showing wrong os

Hi Folks,
I am using Weather Blues version 2 Template. I have noticed on my website that in the About System information page, in the system configuration box, it says that I'm using Windows version 8 x 64 build 9200,
but I am using Windows 10 operating system.

Please does anyone know how to rectify this.

Also in the Station status box the station type name is going outside of the box, is there a way of rectifying this?

My webpage I am talking about it is at http://branksomeweather.co.uk/system.php

Kind Regards
Michael

It's presumably using the <#OsVersion> web tag in some way? The component which supplies that to Cumulus doesn't know about Windows 10. You will need to edit it to either manually correct it, or remove it. I can't help with how you do that as I don't know how it all works - if it uses a PHP include file of web tags, the best way, if you want to correct it rather than remove it, would probably be to edit the template for that.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the reply to my message. Yes it is using the <#OsVersion> web tag, it is also using the php code script.

I will have a go at editing the template etc.

Many Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

As a "patch", you could simply edit file wt_data_inc.php.

Locate these lines (#686):

//-- Section WEBTAGS SYSTEM --
$OsVersion = '<#OsVersion>';


... and change text... <#OsVersion> ...with something more accurate.

Also, be careful with future updates en this file.

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Jacques,
Thank you for your reply to my message. I have sorted it now, here is the code if anyone else wants it.

Locate these lines (#749-750):

//-- Section WEBTAGS SYSTEM --
$OsVersion = "Windows 10 Pro 10586";


Many Thanks for your help Jacques.

Hi Tom,
All you need to do is find and edit file wt_data_inc.php. in your website folder
and Locate these lines it is near to the end of the file so just look for Webtags System.

//-- Section WEBTAGS SYSTEM --
$OsVersion = '<#OsVersion>';

and then change it to
//-- Section WEBTAGS SYSTEM --
$OsVersion = "Windows 10 Pro 10586";

or what ever you want to put in there.
I hope this helps? let me now If you need any more help with it.

I know this is long after the original post, BUT the wrong OS showing in my Weather Blues webpages has been driving me nuts for months. Thanks for the info, now I can rest at night :lol:
