How to display station name on Dashboard?

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

How to display station name on Dashboard?

Post by broadstairs »

I have started to run CumulusMX for the first time. I have a GW1000 and a GW1100 and run one copy on Linux (GW1000) and the other (GW1100) along side Weather Display (GW1100) on Windows 7. At present I am doing this to test out whether I have a problem with disconnects from the GW1n00 because of a network issue or whether it is a WD problem perhaps. Anyway the default dashboard does not indicate station name on the display so I'd like to know if I have missed a setting somewhere which allows this as it is easier from a distance to see which one I'm looking at if the name is displayed clearly rather than having to check the URL.

Is this possible and if so what have I missed?

For now I've edited the index.html file for the interface to add the data. I think it would be a good idea if there is not a setting somewhere I've missed to add the station name to the dashboard if not permanently then as an option.

It's not present as an option, but easy enough to add if you put an extra line of html code into the template file for the dashboard, eg index.htm
You can add the text of your choice, anywhere you want on the page!
