Station Name

Post by wd40 »

I tried to change the station name on the Cumulus setup page from the name I used when I first set up Cumulus but the change does not take. Is this because the data base is tied to the original station name and this is a safeguard?

Do you mean the name in the 'Location' box on the station settings screen? The one that appears at the top of the standard web pages ("xxx weather"), and gets put in web tag <#location>? That seems to be working OK for me, and I haven't changed that code for a very long time. Is it saving other settings OK?

Yes, other setting are saved. I changed the wind speed to round and that worked just to make sure.
The name on the main display is Zoar Rd, as you can see I changed it to Zoar Roa but that does not take.

On the main display? You mean here?

That caption is configured in the display settings, not the station settings. A bit confusing, admittedly.
