Hi there
I'm a Geography teacher at the British International School in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), and i am in the final stages of setting up our new Davis Vantage Pro 2 plus weather station.
I have successfully tested the station with Cumulus, and it is collecting data. (Which i will hopefully be able to delete once the station is ready). I have no coding or website training, so I am at a slight disadvantage here!
I was planning on using wordpress.org + host to make the site (would have a blog and other Geography related items on there), as the school is unlikely to give me a specific section of the website where the templates could easily be uploaded to.
Firstly, can anyone give me an idiots guide to what i need to do with the Cumulus data, and what files/folders have to be uploaded?
Secondly, from the website perspective, what do i have to do in order to show the gauges and 'real time weather'?
Thanks in advance
Mark

Re: Setting up a website for Cumulus data
I can't help with the specifics of hosting on wordpress.org, but instructions for setting up the standard Cumulus web site are in the help, and in the wiki, starting here - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Website_setup
The 'standard' realtime gauges work automatically with the standard setup assuming you select the realtime options in Cumulus (as explained in the wiki). If you want to use the (much nicer) SteelSeries gauges, see that section of the forum - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=21. The announcement thread in that section will point you at the section of the wiki to get you started.
