Adding images .....
Posted: Mon 18 Aug 2014 1:02 am
This is probably a dumb question because I have missed something in the FAQ. I did look .....
I am doing a basic sort of setup for an airstrip. I figured out enough about the templating to chop the front page template down to something simple. All I want is temp/humidity, wind speed/direction, QNH, sunrise/sunset, rain last hour/today. For this application it is OK to update every 30 minutes. I also want to add webcam pix (mainly so aviators can get an idea about the cloudbase. I can generate the pix OK outside of Cumulus - the idea is that the latest pic will be in a specified folder with a specified (constant) name - overwritten by new ones. Actually it's 4 pix, taken looking N,S,E and W
The pix are quite small - VGA res is fine and quality does not have to be all that great.
So I assume I take something like the "trends" template and butcher it to display just these images and the latest ones get uploaded on refresh .... ? Most of the fancy stuff in Cumulus is not of interest for this application.
I really like the idea that there is no server-side stuff. I can do PHP, but this site really does not need to be flash.
Or have I missed something about how this would be done .... ?
