Hans

Thankyou

I need to head out so will return this evening to have a look in more detail

So If I basically upload that file you sent into the the right folder I should start to see something ?

Not as long as yours as I only have 3 years of data for Burnham-on-Sea.

Thanks

I have uploaded the file .http://www.bramptonweather.co.uk/utils/CURPTTest.txt

That appears to work - but doesnt show up in the reports section http://www.bramptonweather.co.uk/utils/ as an option

I think this is too difficult for me to understand unfortunatley. :?

Paul,

You must not upload it to the server but to the utils directory on the CMX machine.
But never mind, as you concluded... It's not for you.
Sorry, can't help you.

Regards,
Hans

Thats fair enough Hans - I understand

If anyone does read this and would like to make a page or template that I can download and use that would be most appreciated. I think it may be a useful tool to have.

best wishes

Hi

As a result of my post a few days ago I was contacted by private message and provided some help and code

I have changed my index.htm page and a .json file (websitedataT.json)

http://www.bramptonweather.co.uk/

As a result I now have frost hours on my main page BUT - the data its showing is wrong and I am not certain on how to overcome the issue

Its showing 671hrs of frost for today and the same for the season 671hrs, clearly incorrect. I have gone into the settings and adjusted the chill hours to zero but no change

Any thoughts on what may be wrong ?

Chill hours is a running total, but it's not about showing frosts. It starts on October 1st, and it tallies up hours where the temperature didn't exceed 7°C.

Mine is currently 564.9 hrs.

Sounds like it was never going to show what I thought it would show !!

Even if you change the setting to zero 0?

Yeah I guess that could work..

You would then get the number of hours of below zero for "today" <#chillhoursToday>

And then the running total since the date you set the chill hours to start from. <#chillhours>

The only problem I can think of, is that there might be cut-off date for chill hours? So, if you have an air frost past that date, it wouldn't add to the total.

Update - I have now changed it to #chillhoursYest

This has changed the figure to 3.7hrs - its still not right but I will now wait until anyone says I should edit the todays.ini file or just wait until tomorrow at rollover and see if it updates itself ?
