Hi

Both interfaces are working correctly here. Can you zip up and send me your 'MainMenu.html' and 'thirdparty.html' page so I can check them.

No. I do not use cookies but you do need to use the button 'Use as default' on the Theme page to make the theme load after you have closed the tab / browser. The downside for this is that if you use a different browser, the theme will revert but the upside is you are not posting information back and for for no reason.

Neil
haha - I totally missed that! Thanks. :)

My weather station is on a remote location and i use a smatphone with teamviewer to get access to the raspberry pi running cumulusmx,so the problem may be in the MobileMenu.html

Code: Select all

<a href="#" class="w3-bar-item w3-btn w3-theme-hvr ai-slim ai-subMenu">Thirt party uploads</a>
that should be

Code: Select all

<a href="thirdpartysettings.html" class="w3-bar-item w3-btn w3-theme-hvr ai-slim ai-subMenu">Thirt party uploads</a>
I will try that later and post feedback
Edit: This change fixed the problem

Oops. :bash: Thanks for finding that out. I'm impressed that you use a phone to configure your station. I will update the zip file and make sure that this omission is corrected.

Thanks for the quick answer, i'm using a phone because the weather station is in my farm 50 km away from my home and i can access the phone remotely using teamviewer host and use the phone to access any device connected to the same local network including the raspberry pi running cumulsmx.

Hi Neil,

Posting this here in case you don't see my original query. I went with a Pro Subscription on Weatherlink.com and entered my API details in Cumulus but when I restart Cumulus it doesn't see the details. Mark suggested I might not be saving my changes and to check the Cumulus.ini file. The ini file did not have any details so I tried again and saved but still no details showed up. I then made the changes using the default Interface and changes were posted to the Cumulus.ini file.

In the Alternative Interface I receive a message saying changes have been saved so you might like to check why the changes aren't being posted.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Neil,

One more issue I've found is updating using the Records Editor. I try and change a value and receive the following -

The above was using this Month's Records Editor.

Hi Trevor

I have a fix for you. I omitted to make the api calls inside the table use the interface root. I.e they should all look like the code below:

Code: Select all

<td id="highTempVal" data-pk="1" data-type="text" data-url="/api/edit/thismonth" data-title="Enter new high temp value" class="column-right"></td>
<td id="highTempTime" data-pk="2" data-type="text" data-url="/api/edit/thismonth" data-title="Enter new high temp date/time"></td>
Yet another oversight on my part :bash: .

This file has a corrected version of the page:

I may have missed any instructions but is there any way, apart from editing each of the relevant html files, to exclude the presentation of solar data blocks/gauges. I have no sensors for this information having only a stock standard Davis VP2.

Hi Keith

I think you'll find that all blocks are shown in the default Interface as well as the AI. The reason is that if / when you upgrade or expand your system, you don't really want to have to go back and edit the Interface just to see that the device(s) are working correctly. You can turn off the solar / UV gauge by editing the gauges.js file - this is documented in the wiki somewhere.

Having said that, if you do want to edit the html code all that is required is a style 'w3-hide' to be added to each block that you don't want to see. It may be something that I can add to the AI as a separate configuration option that I am looking at for future releases.

You could look at the graph config file via the local API to see what values are enabled.

Hi Neil

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have done this by "remming out" the relevant 4 lines in this file.

I have done this in the relevant files and it works well. :D :D

Values for solar have not been enabled in my set up.
