Newbie needs help.

Post by weka1 »

I am using a fineoffset WH 1081 or one of its rebrands, no real title on it. It appears to works fine when fineoffset is selected in the configure area. However the instructions I have for uploading to a webpage seem to be incomplete. I have made up a directory on my web page and included a directory in it called 'images' and loaded the picture.jpg file to it.
I have loaded the following files to this directory:
weatherstyle.css
wz_jsgraphics.js
folder dbimages and all of its contents
cumulusRealtime.swf.
My instructions then go on to using Web Tags which I don't want to worry about at this stage.
I have clicked on Web Update and a page has been sent to the webpage. However no data ever changes on this page and on the guages page there is a lot of text but no guages.
Can some one please help me and tell me if there are more files that I should have uploaded to the web page or some other action I should have completed.
Thanks

Thanks for your assistance but things are still not right. In my webpage directory I have
dbImages which contain gif files.
images -containing picture.jpeg
Web-Images containing things like rain.png - temp.png etc
Web - containing guages.htm - giages T.htm - Index.htm etc
Web Files - containing db image and cumulusrealtime.swf
there are three other files under those directories
Cumulus realtime.swf
Weatherstyle.css
wz-jsgraphics.js

I have tried to refresh the page a number of times however the webpages do not change and show the original data and date from two days ago. There is no background image or anything but text
Click on the guages hyperlink and there is three guages at the bottom and text above (The thermometer images etc do not show up
and all the other pages have old and original data in them.

Not sure what I have done wrong -
Any further assistance appreciated.

Hi

On gauges page: seams that dbimages is not there.
http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumulusweather/web/ and shold be also folder dbimages and images

From local C:\Program Files\Cumulus\webfiles to http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumulusweather/web/
From local C:\Program Files\Cumulus\webfiles\dbimages to http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumuluswe ... b/dbimages
From local C:\Program Files\Cumulus\web to http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumulusweather/web/ ( not the T.htm files.)
From local C:\Program Files\Cumulus\web\images to http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumulusweather/web/images


On the gauges page cant find the files in dbimages (like rainl10.gif)

If you want backgrond picture copy from:
Local C:\Program Files\Cumulus\webfiles\picture.jpg to http://www.kowhaiphotos.co.nz/cumulusweather/web/images or make new picture rename to picture.jpg


Hope thise is for help... :)

Yes - you've created a folder called web under cumulusweather and you're uploading the pages to there. I think that you actually intended to upload them to cumulusweather, not cumulusweather/web, because you've created images and dbimages in there.
