Moon.bmp not displaying properly in CumulusMX

[richard_newberry]

Can anyone tell me how to generate a realtime moon image in the indexT.htm file please. I have copied the image from cumulus 1 to images In CumulusMX and it just displays a full moon all the time.
It appears as well that yours doesn't display on your weather station either Steve.

Thanks.

MX doesn't generate a Moon image, if you want to retain it you will have to use one of the other solutions people are using. A google of forum should bring them up.

Thanks for replying mcrossley, is that the php script which someone did?

[mcrossley]

Some people are using PHP, others are using homegrown and third-party JavaScript solutions.

Here's one which many people use - http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_module.phtml

To avoid scripting you could get 9 graphics to illustrate the phases of the moon, load them up to your web server. Then use the tag <#moonphase> to bring up the correct illustration. (eg <#moonphase>.jpg) More work would be to upload 29 illustrations showing the 'day number' and use <#MoonAge>. Even more work would be to have 101 illustrations and use <#MoonPercent>! At that point I think getting to grips with some kind of script would be easier.
