Upgraded to CumulusMX and banner has stopped showing

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Upgraded to CumulusMX and banner has stopped showing

Post by geoffw »

As you can see below I use 'Banner' as a signature with Cumulus. I've just upgraded to CumulusMX and moved "banner.php" into my weather main directory but it does not appear to be reading the "realtime.txt" All I'm getting is a blank box that links to the revised website.

# CONFIGURATION INFORMATION

$SITE['version']        = "3.0";
$SITE['hloc']           = "./";
$SITE['datafile']       = "realtime.txt";

$SITE['usettf']         = "yes";        # Set to No to use default fonts
You've selected truetype fonts, but you don't seem to have a fonts directory with the fonts in them at the configured location (according to my browser, at least).

Just set "$SITE['usettf'] = "yes"; # Set to No to use default fonts" to "no" and they are back!

Thanks!
