That’s great. It’s always best to use a complete install rather than copying individual files/folders.

I’m glad everything is working OK now. :)

Neil
But it's not like on the initial install I didn't use the install. I just unzipped the folder locally and then transferred it via sftp versus me transferring the zip file to the Pi and unzipping via the command line there in this instance. Just seems weird. Maybe the difference between EOL characters windows vs linux? Who knows.

Neil I assume with the additions that Mark has done in 3159 that there will be an update?

Hi

Does your system retain the sound settings using the default interface?

On my rPi, I can set a sound to play and it does not retain the setting even using the default interface. I therefore think this might be something to refer to Mark. It could also be something to do with the rPi. I don't think it is something introduced by my AI.

Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Additional Update to the data and extra data log editors.

I have made more changes to the javascript files associated with these pages. You can now not select a date in the future on either page - not a lot of point but now you cannot do so accidentally. Also made the calendars disappear after a date is selected.

Read the included readme file for more information.

Hi Neil,

Just updated the interface files and noticed that when I go into the Data Logs Editor it defaults to the date of 9th November instead of 9th December. Other than that, the only other suggestion I would make is that when you go into a record to edit it the non-editable fields (first three) are in white whereas all the other fields which are editable are the background colour. Normally the editable fields would be white.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Trevor

If you read the included ReadMe file I have included details about the changes I have made to the javascript files. The original scripts loaded only the current day whereas you can now select both the start and end day. If you would prefer either or both log editing pages to load the current day initially then you need to change line 10 in the datalogs.js file and extradatalogs.js as shown below:

Code: Select all

var then = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth()-1, now.getDate());
to read:

Code: Select all

var then = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate());
This will force both 'from' date date pickers to show todays date and load just todays data.

With regards to the colour of the input boxes, the three read-only boxes are coloured light grey by the datatables stylesheet. If you would prefer to have white editable text boxes then make the following change to line 48 (datalogs.html & extradatalogs.html):

Code: Select all

background-color: #fff;
You might also want to add the following additional style to keep the background colour of the date pikers.colour:

Code: Select all

#dateFrom, #dateTo { background-colour: var(--l4);}
Hope this is ok.

Is a cookie supposed to be saved when we change themes? If I choose a theme, then closed the tab, the theme reverts back to default when I open the dashboard again.

Hi all

I have now updated the upload package to reflect the changes and to make the 'To date' selector start as today. The start Date selector has been altered to start 7 days before 'now' but you can select today if you wish.

If you prefer to have both start as today then again edit the datalogs.js and extradatalogs.js 'then' line as shown in the previous post.

You can download it from here:

Hi

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.
