Cumulus Support

Hi, hope someone can help me with the following as I have no idea how to accomplish this at the moment!

I will be using Photoshop to create a graphic rich web site to display the weather data from my station via Cumulus. Sitegrinder 3, a PS plugin creates all the code from layers in your PS document http://www.medialab.com. This plugin works brilliantly by the way!

I can use layer hints to link to external media files, html pages etc but I haven't a clue whether this can be achieved or not. I'm not a programmer so any technical speak may go over my head, so offer any advice in very plain english if you can please.

Thanks

I'm not sure I am even clear what the question is!

I think this is it, but the sentence starts as a statement "I can...." I think it becomes a question, but I am not sure what you are asking

can you expand?

Sorry, it is a bit mis leading isn't it. What I'm asking is how I link to the live data so that it can be displayed within my custom web page.

Which 'live' data? Have you already got 'live' data on the server?

At this stage I have no web page up and running therefore no live data.
What I'm asking, and this may or may not be possible is - can the live data from my AWS
be uploaded to a custom web page?

For example, say I have designed my page with an area I want to display the live temperature, how do I get the live temperature reading to display in this specific area on my web page?

Sorry if I hadn't made myself clear, It was late when I posted the original question!

Cumulus has a built in facility to upload webpages pre-populated with station data to your webserver. You can modify those pages if you wish to your own taste.

Alternatively, Cumulus also has the facility to upload a data file with all the common data readings contained (i.e. current temp, wind speed etc), it's called realtime.txt. You would then need some scripting to read that data and present it on you website.

My advice would be to get Cumulus uploading the default webpages, get familiar with it, then use your own program to customize those pages to your own design using your preferred editor. Hope that helps, but do ask if I've mis-interpreted your question.

Thanks, I will try that first.

Have a good look through the Wiki on this forum, and also the Cumulus help file on how to get your website up and running. If you really get stuck, just ask.
