Couple of webtags giving ----

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Couple of webtags giving ----

Post by thecivvie »

I have a template that I use to post to a forum daily. I upgraded to 3033 this morning and now 2 are giving ---- results:

<#TtempTL>
<#TpressTH>

Are the two I noticed

The dashes are displayed when the timestamp is invalid - specifically zero, which is the default when no time has been set. Your web site seems to be displaying the time of today's low temperature correctly, is that using the <#TtempTL> web tag, or does it get it by some other method? Is it showing correctly in Cumulus itself?

I checked the template and there are several ---- in it. It uses realtimetags as part of the update.

Cumulus is showing a lot of 00:00

I think it's the same bug spotted by Mark with the reading of the ini files. 3034 should fix.

You may need to 'rewind' if any ini files were written using bad dates. If so, find the backup folder that was created when you first ran build 3033 and copy all of the files from it to your data folder before starting MX.
