Errors in "utilslog"

Post by Juan Maria Vilaro »

Hi, apparently "cumulusutils" works correctly, but when I check "utilslog", I get these four errors. Since I have very little knowledge, I don't know how to solve them to get the best performance from the program.
Regards

Hi Juan, could you please post the full log please?
And not the latest but that specific one of 00h11 which may be of the 13th (as that will be the website run)
And please, as you moved back to the FWI directory, could you change the map URL again as well?

(I can respond this Friday morning then I'm off until Tuesday)

Thanks. Yes, there seems to be an issue with a duplicate Rain chart which I do not understand fully in your case. There also is an issue with your menu (Extra) which may be related.

Could you post - through PM if you wish - your CutilsCharts.def and your CutilsMenu.def?

If I can't solve it today, as said it will be next week.

Thanks.
You copied the CutilsCharts-examples.def to CutilsCharts.def instead of CutilsCharts-default-for-use.def.

Please use as advised the CutilsCharts-default-for-use.def to start using the ChartsCompiler.
CutilsCharts-examples.def is for study purposes and contains an intentional error.

Concerning the menu: is there a reason why you want the Extra menu in the Graphs menu? Do you have Extra Sensors at all? If not, please remove the menu entry Extra under the Graphs. It is highly confusing because it is unknown what you expect to be in it.

Thank you for using the user menu and ChartsCompiler but if I may give a warning: first use the defaults, then start adding step by step what you want.

For quick iterations use the command 'CompileOnly' (for the charts output of the compiler) or 'Thrifty Website' (for menu changes, this is currently the fastest way of regenerating the menu)
