Cumulus Support

I've setup some old scripts for highcharts on my (local) pi webserver the generated databases by CX are working fine a great compliment from me to the efforts from Steve, I thought this was for future implementetion , when dataeditors are availble I switch over to MX in productionenviroment

I just fancied an interesting diversion. Doing things like the data editors is going to be long and tedious...

Ohno thats a pitty any suggestions for the most comfortble way to do this meanwhile nano isn't quite helpfull I also miss the headers for the fields in texteditors, but I've patience.

What particular functions do you need most urgently? Some of it is easier...

Editing the values in the monthly files is most important for me and today.ini the last one is easy and has no priority or isn't needed at all I think an editor for the Monthy files is the most difficult to programm I don't need a realtime.txt editor wrong data are modified or deleted in myphpadmin.

Ron, I'm probably misunderstanding you, but on first read you seem to be saying you feel priority for MX is to provide an editor that is not available in Cumulus 1. You talk about missing headers and that only applies to log files.

I assumed you were suggesting priority to edit the monthly log files, but perhaps you mean editing the monthly high and low extreme values of month.ini?

I'm not using MX but I know I find the latter, i.e. ability to edit out the odd silly extremes produced by my Fine Offset (when Cumulus is in catch-up after re-starting) a useful feature in Cumulus 1. But the .ini files have a series of "parameter=value" rows that are easy to identify.

As for my few edits of monthly log files I've not found it that slow to do using a spreadsheet program (I use "Calc") inserting the header columns into the first row before editing the log and then deleting that before saving. But I believe "Cumulus Toolbox" provides an alternative approach for log files that might suit you.

I mean the Month logfiles and a little less the Dayfile, ini's aren't a problem for me . I can't use Toolbox on the pi and want to run all the weather stuff on the pi only so thats why I prefer editing the values in MX. An option couldt be a samba connection to the pi but haven't succes with that atm and if so I'm not sure I can connect Toobox to the shared /data dir on the pi , maybe I can investigate that I'm thinking just right now.

Thanks Ron for that clarification, so it is a feature not in Cumulus 1.9.4 that you want prioritised in MX.

Yes indeed I should not ask for this atm But I had CumulusToolbox so there was no need for it.

I've done some investigations with WinSCP I can ad an editor to files on the pi , Windows notepad and notepad++ will do ! , I tried to ad CumulusToolbox this could work but it needs the cumulus.ini file when I can get a smb connection to my pi on a 'shared cumulusMX dir' but for some stupid reason I cant get a samba connetion to the pi I've tried diffeent thing once I saw the pi in the network has somebody succeed to make a smb from windows 7 to the pi ? If so can you post the samba.conf ? without real passwords ofcourse.

This is what I use in my smb.conf. Low security!

I have a samba share finally (thanks Steve) I can run now in WinSCP by rightclicking a Monthly file on the /data on the raspi by associating CumulusToolbox to that file Toolbox asks for the Cumulus.ini you kan easily browse for this file if you have set you smb browsing the dir so far so good, I openend May but...

As you can see all the data are loaded in the first cel of the date... sigh..

Maybe its because the locale on my win7 PC is Dutch , I can't find any settings what causes this I dont have a phpwebtag parsed but this is for alerts only I think will try this another time I also set WinSCP to Enlish did had no effect for me.

I hope that some users with UK or US locales are helped with my investigations probably it works fine on a windows pc with UK or US locales..
