CUtils 6.7.1

Hi Hans

I just updated CUtils with the latest patch and the stray white line and < have disappeared from the header

I have been working to include a virtual Davis VP2 console on my local website and have achieved a working simulation but only within the default CMX website. This is linked on my index page under my home sites tab via the CUsermenu.txt file as follows:-
<a class='nav-link' href="http://192.168.0.119/CUtils/davconvp2CU.php" target="_blank">Davis VP2 console</a>

Whilst this works for me it would be nice to have the console embedded in CUtils rather than linked through CMX as per the attached screen shot of the console which is fed live data. Perhaps I can work on a solution.

Keep up the great work

Hi Andy,

OK. Using another CMX website as a report to CUtils is a bit ... double? If you can get the Davis Console image in the CMX standard site, you can also get it within the CUtils framework and have only the console image in the reportview (the right pane).

1. If you could separate out the PHP procedure from the CMX website, you could use it in an iframe in the user menu and get rid of the CMX webpage. The iframe would be something like:

   Code: Select all

   <iframe src="https://yourURL/davconvp2CU.php" width="100%" frameborder="0" style="border:0;height:75vh;"></iframe>

   in a davcon.txt file. That davcon.txt would be put in the menu like:

   Code: Select all

   <span class='nav-link' onclick="LoadUtilsReport('davcon.txt');">Davis Console</span>

2. You could create a UserReport (a txt file the BODY part of a HTML file written in HTML and javascript) where you can code whatever you want and use the webtags (see the wiki). For the realtime data I would have to design something which I was going to do anyway to serve modules in general with realtime values (like e.g. Extra sensors and AirLink which now have their own specific realtime engine). I could not do that tomorrow, it would definitely come.

Hope this helps.

Hi Hans

Thanks for the help, once I got onto it this evening 5 mins gave me the required result

The attached pic shows just what I was trying to achieve with live data feeding the virtual console.

Now, that looks very nice to be honest.

Could you publish here how you did it and change the title of the post to 'Davis Console in CUtils' (or similar).
Or, alternatively, could you mail me how you did this (i asume you used the iframe method) and i will update the post.

NB: why do you duplicate the title and location info from the header (takes space from the buttons below)
