Cumulus Support

Dear Cumulus Support Forum members,

I helped a friend of mine back in 2013 to setup Cumulus on his PC. It worked find up till now, even under Windows 10, but the gauges seem to rely on Adobe Flash Player. Since Adobe will/has stopped Adobe Flash Player support and browsers are also actively removing support for it (https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/202 ... d-support/), he is considering finally moving to Cumulus MX.

We are just wondering if Cumulus MX gauges still rely on Adobe Flash Player? Or have they long since been changed to HTML5 (or other) technology?
If Adobe Flash Player is still being used in Cumulus MX, are there any plans to phase that out from Cumulus?

The gauges in CumuulMX do NOT use Adobe Flash Player they use Javascript.

We asked this question, because when the Adobe Flash Player was uninstalled, all gauges stayed at 0. After reinstalling Adobe Flash Player, they started working again. But I can't really correlate that if the gauges are JavaScript. These should not affect each other. Any thought on what might be causing this?

Did you try a different browser? I don't have flash player installed on any of my systems.

The Gauges work with JavaScript and html5 afaik

Just for clarification, which version of CumulusMX are you working with?
Do you have a site URL?

Enjoy,
Paul

Cumulus 1 default website indeed uses flash on realtime wind speed and wind direction gauges, which are on the bottom of the gauges page. I didn’t even remember this, but checked my own page that this is the case. However if flash is removed from computer, it should not affect any other gauges, just those two. If the website is customized, then I guess anything is possible. A website url would definitely help on giving more specific advice.

CumulusMX does not use flash by default for anything.
