Daylength

Post by jensdk »

Hi Steve
Suggestion: A webtag that could show the change in daylength since the day the daylight turns over (solstice?). I've looked in the wiki, but didn't find it.

Thx for a super program.

Hi Jens

Not sure what you mean, however do any of these help

<#daylightlength>
Length of daylight in hours and minutes (dawn to dusk)

<#daylength>
Length of day in hours and minutes (sunrise to sunset)

See this section for a complete list ....http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Webtags#Da ... Sun.2FMoon

Hi David

Thx for your VERY quick answer, but sorry no it doesn't help.
What i'm looking for is a tag that could help me show something like: The day has now been extended
x hours x min since dec 21.

Ok, I understand now. Certainly there is currently nothing in the tag system, as you already noted. I guess it could be done with some Javascript on the web page. Its basically the difference between day length on 21 Dec and today. Thinking......

Yes, I guess if I were to add it to Cumulus, that's how I would do it. It's not high priority for me at the moment, as it's more an 'almanac' feature. I'm sure it could be done quite easily on a web site independently of Cumulus, though.

Hi Steve and David.
I wasn't expecting a solution right away, but since I don't know anything about javaprogramming, I was hoping for someone to tell me how to do it. I am very willing to learn ;)
Maybe you could put it on the wish list Steve ;)
