custom forecast : THANKS !

[aeropic]

Hi Steve,

I've just tested the new custom forecast "string.ini" file... It works like a charm.
Many thanks for this function which allows a first step into internationalization .

Alain

PS : in the string file for forecast, there is missing "not available"

[steve]

Glad you like it, I might continue with it as the fancy takes me...

I realised that 'not available' was missing, but it's only there for a short time until the forecast appears (assuming you have the forecast switched on). I'll perhaps add it with the next batch.

Here is a first french translation of the strings file.
It could maybe be more accurate as my skills in meteorologie are not that great !

Hi,

I just upgrade to the build 871 Cumulus version and put Alain's French Strings.ini in cumulus folder, but Cumulus shows just "Clear" as forecast!!

What did i forgot ?

Laurent

P.S. In station configuration i enable "cumulus forecast"

I just upgrade to the build 871 Cumulus version and put Alain's French Strings.ini in cumulus folder, but Cumulus shows just "Clear" as forecast!!

Sorry - when I put the forecast code in originally, I forgot to change the code for the WMR928 so that it could use it. I'll upload a fix later today.

[laulau]

Thank's for the prompt reply, it'nice.

Are the strings.ini forecast reported in the forecast webtag ?

Laurent

Are the strings.ini forecast reported in the forecast webtag ?

Yes, the forecast webtag uses the same strings.

I have added this to the Cumulus Wiki, and will also include translations for all other languages shortly.

David - many thanks.

Tried using this,but it retains the original descriptions? Does it take a while for cumulus to recognize any edits to the strings.ini file? I've edited the original and the copy files but still reads "settled fine" ??

[beteljuice]

I assume - because it's an ini file, you would need to restart Cumulus for any changes to take effect.

[bnwrx]

Retsarted several times,no change, rebooted, no change. The data is current but the forecast still shows the old forecast words ie:settled fine ?? Where is it getting this from? I've named it strings.ini and have edited it. Must be doing something wrong here.

[steve]

If you've restarted, assuming you've put the file in the right place, I can't think why it wouldn't work. If you upload your strings.ini file I'll have a look at it.

[bnwrx]

Just figured it out. The file name was strings.ini.ini . Now it works! Sorry to not have checked that!

[steve]

Sorry - when I put the forecast code in originally, I forgot to change the code for the WMR928 so that it could use it. I'll upload a fix later today.

Build 872 has this fix.

I've also added the moon phases to the list of strings that can be edited (and the words "Forecast" and "not available").
