Website newbie question
I am trying to setup my weather website and am having issues I have the website but it is not updating. http://home.comcast.net/~lynnt-wa/weather/
not sure what I am doing wrong, I am not new to building websites (but haven't done so in a long time) and I believe I have all the files uploaded to my "weather' directory and you can see that the pages are loading.
Any help will be greatly appreciated I can send screen prints of my directory or whatever is needed.
thanks
Lynn

Re: Website newbie question
Your updated pages are appearing one level up
http://home.comcast.net/~lynnt-wa/index.htm
Although all the rest of your files, including realtime.txt, are correctly in your /weather directory.

Re: Website newbie question
Lynn, the pages don't automatically refresh, intentionally. If you really want them to do that, you'll need to use one of the usual techniques, e.g. a meta 'refresh' tag, or javascript or whatever.

Re: Website newbie question
Thanks Steve,
BTW great program!!! could I make a request for the future tho? - I was using WUHU for uploading info to cwop, weather underground etc. and I really liked the feature they had on their control panel* and that was a link to those websites: http://home.comcast.net/~wuhu_software/ would be nice to be able to send info to all of these sites from Cumulus because I love the fact that I do not need two programs running to get info and it creates a webpage too.
*see attached file
Thanks for the super program and your help.

Re: Website newbie question
I'm not quite sure what you're asking for, the ability to upload to those sites - Cumulus does all of those already. Or the hyperlinks from the setup screen to the appropriate sites?

Re: Website newbie question
Sorry for not making myself clear.
I was asking for the hyperlinks to these sites - just makes it real easy to check everything at once.
And can I upload to AWEKAS? I do not see that one in the upload area.
thanks again,
LynnT

Re: Website newbie question
As I understand it, AWEKAS just requires a file of a particular format to be uploaded to the root of your website. I believe someone has created a template, using Cumulus web tags, of the correct format, so all you have to do is add that to the custom files list. I may be making this up; but the AWEKAS web site does mention Cumulus, so it must be possible somehow.LynnT wrote:And can I upload to AWEKAS? I do not see that one in the upload area.

Re: Website newbie question
Steve,
I had found a template on the forum for a short .txt file but Othmar (administrator) at AWEKAS said that was old and we should use the awekas_wl.htm template - I believe that is posted here too (it also on the AWEKAS site http://www.awekas.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=229 with variations for different weather stations) but I had to make a change in it for it to properly display the date here is what my .html file looks like.. The only value I don't seem to be able to get is pressure tendency to show up at AWEKAS I put the (what I believe to be ) the proper tag but it is not reporting at AWEKAS... I might try the <#presstrendval> tag and see what that does.

Re: Website newbie question
<#presstrendval> is the trend in figures, which is probably what awekas wants, rather than <#presstrend>, which is words - "rising" etc.

Steve,
Actually FYI and anyone else running this template, I found out that it is the trend in words that AWEKAS wants.

Re: Website newbie question
Hello
We have a question at our forum about data transmission to AWEKAS. Can anybody write a litte manual at your forum (and/or) our forum.
I think data transfer now ok with CUMULUS and new file format. (like post LynnT)
Thanks Othmar

Re: Website newbie question
