Cumulus Support

Steve,

I am a new to PWS's.

Running latest ver of cumulus from a NasReady Media Server. I launch from a laptop running Win7.

Station setup: Davis Weather Vue ISS to Envoy with WeathlinkIP Data Logger.

Everything works great with the exception of the 'Help' menu. The problem with the help menu started when I saved Cumulus to my NasReady. Clicking on 'Help' from Cumulus brings up the Help screen and the left partition shows the table of contents, but the main screen does not show the License info. I can expand the table of contents but clicking on a topic does not bring anything up in the main window.

The help menu worked great when I was running Cumulus on my laptop C drive.

I did a comparison of the 'Security' permissions as seen in the Properties panel for both the Help folder and the Help HTML file within the folder for the install on the NasReady vs the install on my local C drive and the properties are different. I have tried unsuccessfully to make the priorities on the NasReady install reflect those for the C drive install.

This is not a huge issue, but it would be nice to have it working.

Would like to say that I am enjoying Cumulus immensely. Will donate soon.

It does look like a security issue. Have you tried right-clicking on the help file, selecting properties and clicking 'unblock'?

Steve,

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I have even gone into the firewall advanced securities control panel and unblocked.

Something going on with the HTML link. I am having the same problem with the Weatherlink help file.

Is there a way to get at the full help file from your wiki site?

I assume you mean the component pages, as you already have the full help file? I've been thinking of making it part of the wiki. The trouble is that's yet one more thing for me to keep up to date. You could use a help file decompiler, there seem to be a few available to download for free.

Steve,

I downloaded PDFlite (freeware) which is a CHM to pdf converter. It works great. Problem solved.

Thanks for the support.

Bob.
