Webtags with time parameter in array?

Looking at the webtags which accept a time parameter, is it possible for Cumulus to process them as an array rather than processing and uploading each individual tag with it's time?
For example, currently I have:
Code: Select all
$WX['RecentOutsideTemp m=5'] = '<#RecentOutsideTemp m=5>'; // 5 minute Recent Outside Temperature
$WX['RecentOutsideTemp m=10'] = '<#RecentOutsideTemp m=10>'; // 10 minute Recent Outside Temperature
$WX['RecentOutsideTemp m=15'] = '<#RecentOutsideTemp m=15>'; // 15 minute Recent Outside Temperature
$WX['RecentOutsideTemp m=20'] = '<#RecentOutsideTemp m=20>'; // 20 minute Recent Outside Temperature
$WX['RecentOutsideTemp m=25'] = '<#RecentOutsideTemp m=25>'; // 25 minute Recent Outside Temperature

It would be possible, with enhancement, for a web tag to produce an array of values, yes. So something like this would be possible:
<#RecentOutsideTemp m=5to25step5>
which might produce the string
10.5,10.6,10.5,10.4,10.3
for example. Is that the kind of thing you had in mind?

Yes, exactly Steve. That would eliminate a lot of separate 'time' tags.

I'll see about doing it in 'new' Cumulus. Remind me
if when I forget

Would love to see this as well as it would make the template creation a lot easier. I currently produce a previous 72hr observations style page based on an array of values. The way I'm doing it at the moment is having a PHP template file that contains data like this.
$observetemp = array('<#RecentOutsideTemp>',
'<#RecentOutsideTemp m=31>',
'<#RecentOutsideTemp h=1 m=1>',
'<#RecentOutsideTemp h=1 m=31>');
Cumulus processes it and uploads it. It's then just a php include for the main page and I can process it in PHP as a normal array.

Ok, but it sounds like my memory may be as good/bad as yours. I'll complete an 'enhancement request' too.
If I recall correctly, in another post, you mentioned you hoped to increase the amount of tags that can accept the 'recent' parameter so this would be really helpful
