EDIT - please disregard this post, left because it has been responded to
Now I am really confused...
I noticed that \CumulusMX\interface\now.html had one block with heading "Humidity" and another with heading "Temperature and Humidity".
I edited the latter to just "Temperature" and got an instant change when I reloaded that page within the user interface (without stop/start of MX engine).
However, earlier I had made a small change to \CumulusMX\interface\todayyest.html. That page remains unchanged when viewed within the user interface, so the interface is not viewing the page it should somehow. EDIT - this problem has been resolved, I put an opening HTML comment tag in a position that upset the browser.
Could this be the problem I am having with settings, the interface is not reading the file it should? It fits in with what I was seeing about dates.

Re: Build 3069 - does anyone else have problems with Settings?
If you make changes to interface resources (whether it is HTML, CSS, JS) then they will be used by MX instantly. What is probably happening is that your web browser is cacheing the resources, so you are seeing cached copy rather than the one you have actually changed. Try clearing out your browser cache - or doing a forced refresh of the page you are viewing.
Incidentally - regarding the problem you are seeing with the settings menu: have you been using your "dev tools" window (usually opened by F12) to look for problems? This is an invaluable resource that will flag problems that a web page has accessing other resources, or problems with the resources themselves (e.g. javascript exceptions/errors that may otherwise be hidden).

Re: Build 3069 - does anyone else have problems with Settings?
Freddie, thank you for your helpful advice.
Here are the two main Development windows, console and network for station settings.
I have been doing that. I also close firefox and start it again as well as clicking reload, plus I have been approaching the problem pages from all other possible pages. For the todayyest.html I mentioned, it was not doing a cache, but I have sorted that problem, the browser did not like what I surrounded with the HTML comments, it upset the table structure, having moved the offending opening comment tag to a slightly different place, it has accepted my modification instantly.
No, I have not been doing that, but you are right it has been useful to me in the past. In this context, I was so wrapped up in being proud of myself for trying MX, I have not looked outside the MX files. So I am doing that as I type here.freddie wrote: ↑Mon 23 Mar 2020 8:25 am have you been using your "dev tools" window (usually opened by F12) to look for problems?

Foolproof Firefox reload from server not using cache is Ctrl+F5. Reloading the browser does not ensure that all elements are reloaded from server it looks at the temp(cache) area first for images etc. first.
To make it always load from server.
To make it always load from server.
If you want Firefox to always download the latest files then you can change the doc frequency setting like this:
type this into the address bar: about:config
you will see a long list of settings with a "Search" bar at the top of the page
type this into the Search: browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
double click on the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency line to edit it
change the value to: 1
press OK to save the change

Re: Build 3069 - does anyone else have problems with Settings?
Agree all your points, David. I have used about: config before to change properties as mentioned in Firefox developer announcements. I have changed it from 3 to 1 although I'm sure my problem is not cached pages.
Re Station settings etc. I have overwritten the original files (html and json by fresh copies from the download. AS I EXPECTED, no change.
Re todayyest.html: There is absolutely no point in editing this page, the entire tables are overwritten, see the post I am just about to make in the "Cumuus MX Interface Customisation" sub-forum.

This should be the right list. It was created with
Code: Select all
Dir /s > MxFiles.txt

Re: Build 3069 - does anyone else have problems with Settings?
Thank you, I have downloaded that list.
Since my earlier posts, I too have installed 3070 distribution, and with that (as a fresh install in a new folder) I am seeing ALL the settings pages correctly. So I have not actually needed to use the list.
