Current conditions (tag and .txt)

Hello,

I would like to insert the current conditions in a file with the <#currcond> tag. The problem is that according to the wiki this tag uses the file currentconditions.txt which does not exist for me.
I created it manually in the root folder but as I suspected it is not updated and the <#currcond> tag returns nothing.
Are there any options to enable in CumulusMx to enable automatic current conditions?
Thanks.

If you look in the Edit dropdown on the CumulusMX menu you will find Current Conditions. It is here that you can add the current conditions locally at your weather station.

Current conditions was always designed as either a Manual way to add the conditions or if you had a program that produced local conditions you got it to output a Text file with that name and Cumulus and CumulusMX picked the detail up via the Web Tag.

About 7 years ago Jenny Leez with the help of a few others came up with an automated way of setting it and that is available here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12831
