Cumulus Support

I was reading a post on here a few days ago and someone was looking for a way to summarise yearly data in a table. I thought I would set myself a little challenge to do this, but also not to use PHP as not everyone has it enabled on their webservers.

The result is a pure HTML & Javascript page. No database needed, just the dayfile.txt on your webserver. An example of what I 'threw' together is here.

And of course, I wrote a wiki page as I ended up adding several options to customize it. Colours, layout, data sets and how to change from English to another language are all inlcuded in the wiki.....AnnualDataSummary

UPDATE -- a PHP verison is now included giving you the choice of which one to use

Great job David , saw you also implented the different separators , will soon give it a try, works fine in IE9 too.

edit works fine with mine delimiters http://www.apeldoorn.tk/weer/datasummary.html

For some reason you don't count values between 0,1 and 1 as a value by rain and wind

A possible failing in the Javascript -- on mine it treats 0.1 as a value and shows it. On yours it does not so I assume Javascript has a problem with 0,1 as a value. I will see what I can do

Very good. I get frustrated sometimes that I don't have time to try the 'add ons' that people produce, but this looked so good, and so easy to set up that I had to give it a go.

I added the units to my headings

Thank you David,(again!!). This is great for us NON-PHP people.

Should we add the dayfile.txt to those files Cumulus uploads to the website?

That looks great. Thanks for the effort and thanks for keeping the none-php people in mind.

Is there a routine somewhere so we can chart those data ? Someone ever used Google charts ?

Yeah -- the units are not included in the dayfile so I had no reference -- this was why I ended up giving an easy was to customize the headings; then I decided to allow all the text to change.

NO

This would upload your dayfile every 10 minutes (or however often Cumulus updates the site)

I use Cumulus Toolbox -- which is a bit of over kill just for this simple task, but I use toolbox for other stuff too. I guess we could do this one job with the windows scheduler task.

Excellent, thank you David. Got it to work and also started to use Toolbox

One observation; for the years I have full 12 months data (2009 and 2010) then for the Min/Max tab whenever there is a date that has low temperature of lower than -9.9 which has 5 charactors (i.e. -10.0) then the data is shown on 2 lines with the '-' sign on the 1st line and the 10.0 on the second line. This does not occur for years where I do not have full year's data - i.e. 2008 when first started Cumulus and this year when we are only into March. Not sure if that is my monitor, or if another setting issue?

It could be any one of a number of things -- basically the text is wrapping as it can not fit it in the cell.

You could edit the dataSummary.css Drop the 70% to 65% or less, but it is getting a little small. This is the code used when it is displaing the min/max temp. together.

Alternatively increase the size of each cell slightly Maybe 70 pixels

But if you increase the size, the table may need to get bigger too try 1000px

Your browser could also be affecting it depending on zoom and screen resolution, but less likely

If it helps the diagnosis, Paul's page looks fine from here.

Thanks daj, that's just great

Been amusing myself playing around with this and it's not looking too bad: http://www.southuist-weather.info/wxdataannual.html and comparing it to how the TNET tabular data looks (php): http://www.southuist-weather.info/wxdata.php

Using Cumulus Toolbox works really well for uploading the dayfile.txt once a day

David, set the smallfont to 60% and now all on 1 line. Text getting a little small so may experiment with the table settings, etc. now that I've got a feel of such settings . Thanks very much.

Bloomin' excellent. Just what my site was missing, and I didn't want to get into SQL etc. Well done David and thank-you!
