I note your comment, I set these up to enable them to run on the CUtils site. Unfortunately the white background on these pics did not look good on the CUtils coloured background and hence the need to amend and publish.

But thanks for the work done in getting the davcon system up and running, you will see from the screen shots above just how is has been integrated into CUtils.

The Davcon package was rewritten for the MXUIwebsite.
The image background for the MXUIwebsite template is transparent.

The images for the Davcon package on our https://silveracorn.nz/weather/wxscripts.php page -'Live' Davis Console package for Cumulus 1 & MX only is not the same.

If it were me, I would use a totally transparent background a la @BCJKiwi, and apply any shadow if required via CSS. Then it can become optional as to whether you have shadow or not.

But on the surface there does seem to be some reinventing of wheels going?

The Davcon package on our https://silveracorn.nz/weather/wxscripts.php page -'Live' Davis Console package for Cumulus 1 & MX was written specifically for the Saratoga template.

The package included in the MXUIwebsite template is significantly different in a number of areas, the images just being one aspect.

Please find attached the refined images for the VP2 console for use on the CUtils site. The Vue console images do not need any change as they already have transparent backgrounds.

I have added a VP2 virtual console to my site. Originally, I wanted to use (as usual with external scripts) the command

Code: Select all

<?php include('davconvp2CU.php');?>
but it didn't work out. I.e. only half of it worked (the menu.js script didn't work).

However, thanks to this tip,

Code: Select all

<iframe src="davconvp2CU.php" width="100%" frameborder="0" style="border:0;height:75vh;"></iframe>
I can enjoy a working script in the template I use on the website.

Thx 👍
