I am not really complaining about that, because now it is 12 boxes which makes it look nice. Reducing it to 11 would not.
That is really strange, I tested this myself and it worked. If you still have the Sun info than you probably did not set the parameter correct.
It must be:

Code: Select all

ShowUV=true or false
ShowSolar=true or false
I do not force lowercase but simply write out the value in the inifile to the code. So, if you have a capital letter than something fails: true or false MUST be lowercase.
In future I shall force it lowercase.
sutne wrote: Fri 15 May 2020 10:48 am Then I will put out a question: For us that do not have Solar, could we have something else in that box?
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately no. That would increase the complexity enormous. For now this is only a show/no show.
The number of boxes btw if both are switched off should be 10 making the sun and the moon the only two boxes on the lower row, filling the row evenly spaced.
That, I thought, was quite nice. It still shows symmetry.

The situation with only UV or only solar is of such minor occurrence (mostly sun/UV go together) that I am not thinking of making exceptions here.
sutne wrote: Fri 15 May 2020 10:48 am Another minor thing: on the iPad the Status is centered, should have been next to the Led.
I don't have an iPad, but an Android tablet where it does not do that (neither does it on my phone).
So, sorry for Apple, guess they are wrong :lol:

Actually, it is a right align of the menu handled by bootstrap so there is unfortunately little I can do here. I assume the Apple iPad is the only thing that does that?

No,
this is from a Windows10 PC running Chrome:

@sutne: Regarding the solar/UV
I see I only worked on the second dashboard where both solar and UV are removed.
Indeed on the first dashboard there is only one box -solar - to disappear.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, my fault.

I will have a look at it because 1) the box must not show and 2) I will see how it behaves when it has disappeared. As you correctly remark, it is dependent on the size of the screen and above that, I have configured it to arrange automatic so I cannot predict now what the result will be.

It will be a bit later though because the number of remarks is increasing and I need to finish something first.

Regarding the alignment on iPad / Chrome
As the accompanying image shows, from my laptop, your site looks OK in Chrome (as it is with the other users, see the map).
Looking again and a third time I see that you have chrome there in a small window because the menu toggle has triggered. OK so that means, that if the menu toggle is active apparently the navigation bar does justification of its content. I'll see if it is possible to change that behaviour but it has no priority.

In Day Records numbers have two decimals. Should be one as the rest of the system.

Yes, good spot. Did not see it since its genesis :)
Just missed it for 3.5.7, will be in the next release.

The Compass Rose works well on my page. :clap: :clap: :clap:

A curiosity; if you stop at the records menu, by selecting the desired month, you can see that, for all of us, March has disappeared:

@kocher: btw, the wind in 2017 seems to have an aberration with all other years. Data corruption? Error in software or was it a strange year? That may disappear with 3.6.1 because of the change of fields in calculation.

Saludos a todos

First of all, I must point out that, thanks to the information provided by the "cumulusutils.log" file, I have discovered several errors in the cumulusMX file "ago14log.txt" that would otherwise have been very difficult to detect; Now, I think, everything is solved. :D

I have a couple of possibly stupid :bash: questions:

1) how can I change the name of the user menu?

2) Can I configure multiple user menus?

Thanks to Hans for his patience

Greetings from San Sebastián

No stupid questions, only if you ask three times the same thing in a row... ;)

The file CUsermenu-example.txt has the following content:

Code: Select all

<li class='nav-item dropdown'>
  <!-- Just put a link on the UserMenu text                                                  -->
  <!-- a class='nav-link' href='http://google.com'>Google</a                                 -->

  <a class='nav-link dropdown-toggle' href='#' id='navbarDropdown' role='button' data-toggle='dropdown' aria-haspopup='true' aria-expanded='false'>
    UserMenu
  </a>
  <div class='dropdown-menu' aria-labelledby='navbarDropdown'>
    <a class='nav-link' href="https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06f5696?53.259,6.932,8" target="_blank">Windy (excl)</a>
    <span class='nav-link' onclick="LoadUtilsReport('Windy.txt');"> Windy (incl)</span>
    <a class='nav-link' href="https://wow.knmi.nl/#1211bb08-6c93-e911-80e7-0003ff59889d" target="_blank">KNMI WOW</a>
    <a class='nav-link' href="https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IWAGEN6" target="_blank">WU</a>
    <div class='dropdown-divider'></div>
    <a class='nav-link' href="https://topotijdreis.nl" target="_blank">Topo NL</a>
    <a class='nav-link' href="https://waterinfo.rws.nl/#!/kaart/waterhoogte-t-o-v-nap/">Waterstanden</a>
    <div class='dropdown-divider'></div>
    <a class='nav-link' href="/wp/" target="_blank">The Blog</a>
  </div>
</li>
If you change the word: UserMenu you ave changed the word visible on the menubar which I guess would be the name of the menu.
kocher wrote: Sun 24 May 2020 11:02 am Can I configure multiple user menus?
Yes, you can. Actually it is only one usermenu, but you create more drop-down columns in that menu if you create a new <li></li> pair below (or above) the existing one and fill that in a way similar to the example you will have the second user menu (see e.g. Segur-le-Chateau who has three such entries).

Good luck!
Hans

Thank you very much Hans.
