Cumulus Support

Hi guys.

Am currently moving my html website over to WordPress.

The general pages are fine but am looking for help with the weather pages.

I would like to include the Stainless and Cumulus pages as well as my own html content.

Has anyone done this already please?

I never integrated mine, just added a link to my /weather/ folder. there are plenty of threads about this, none seem to have any definitive answer.

I have ported most of the content into a Wordpress site but not yet the steel gauges. However, I've done this by using php to provide the data into php scripts embedded in Wordpress using a plugin.

There should not be any problem but you will need to link in the required script files and make sure they point to wherever you upload the data.

Why don't you use the normal html files created by Cumulus and use iframes in wordpress
I didn't worked with Wordpress so far, always used joomla, but it should be possible to parse "external" pages also in wordpress. Nobody will be aware, that they do not belong to your wordpress website,

I did this because I didn't want to constantly upload html content that doesn't change. I created a number of 'data' files (3) that just contain the id and cumulus tag for the data that I required then used php to load the data and output the required values. This seems to be less of a load on the ftp process between my station and my website.
I am starting to use the same technique with MX - using JSON to access the data sent to the site.

My original, i.e. current site is http://weather.oaktreewebs.co.uk while the wordpress version (incomplete) is http://oaktreewebs.co.uk. It's incomplete because I am currently redeveloping the original using w3.css and JSON.

...but it looks nice......

Why thank you.

If you want to see the current development of the original site it is at http://weather-mx.oaktreewebs.co.uk but it's only early days at the moment. I am trying to develop my own JSON files from my database rather than upload the JSON files provided. This is partly due to my having additional sensors and wanting to include them in the charts.
