Cumulus Support

I use the Saratoga templates for my main site. It is looking for a file - realtime.txt - which was part of the b3107 release, can't find it so is not showing the correct weather info. at any minute. I have searched and cannot find such a file in the current release (b3116) of CumulusMX.

The Brand new default web site (Neil Thomas version and this is great) seems to get its data from the file - websitedata.json. How do I now get a file in the form required by the Saratoga templates from the changed new style output data from CumulusMX? Help please.

My Saratoga URL is https://www.kstwx.net/index.php
My Neil Thomas CUMX site URL is: https://www.kstwx.net/cumx/index.htm

So this is NOT a template query ....

The Saratoga template uses two main files for weather data:
1) realtime.txt (uploaded by Cumulus/MX at frequent intervals and used by the ajaxCUwx.js JavaScript to update SOME of the weather data)
2) CUtags.php (uploaded at 5 minute intervals by processing the CUtags.txt files into CUtags.php)

The CUtags.php is controlled by the Extra Web Files upload screen. realtime.txt is a selection in the Internet Settings/Web FTP Settings.

The Saratoga templates do not use the new websitedata.json file, that is only for the new default html templates.

Thanks for your reply.

CUtags.php is OK and correctly shows the current data.

I cannot find a file realtime.txt in my installation of the b.3116 issue of CumulusMX. If realtime.txt is necessary to correctly update my Saratoga based website, I would very appreciate it if someone would tell me what I need to do to fix the matter.

Hi,
The realtime.txt file is created in v3.10.1 just like before and is placed in the CumulusMX folder.
To upload realtime go to Settings = Interval settings = Realtime settings - Enable realtime and set the interval, and tick if to FTP.

Enjoy,
Paul

See the attached Internet settings.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my original post. All good.
