Extra Web Files - Additional Option.

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Extra Web Files - Additional Option.

Post by Phil23 »

One for consideration of @mcrossley.

Would many find an additional option column in this table useful for pages that are to be uploaded more often than the default setting of 10 minutes & not as frequently as the Real time value.

Maybe a column called "Periodic" with a global setting elsewhere, (Min? Sec?).
Or Maybe a column to select & a second for the period.

The idea comes to mind having just made a basic page that is viewable on a Kindle.
Updating at the real time rate is a bit excessive & the 10 minute period is a bit slow for heavy rain.

Would anyone else find this useful for additional custom pages?


Cheers

Phil.

Its possible but.... time!

A hacky workaround, is you could call a script at the realitme interval, and the script only uploads the required files every so many calls, or on odd or even minutes, or whatever you want.

Can anyone else make a suggestion on this?

Was thinking a simple script (cmd, vbs or Powershell???), that simply increments a counter value, probably stored in a file..

If for example it was set to count from 1 to 12 & then execute the conditional command & start over again.

Next catch would be processing & uploading the htmT file.
Assuming that would be a whole other issue.
