Problems with apparent temperature

Post by ortega »

Hi!
I have problems with apparent temperatures.
In the cumuluswebtags.txt (1.15) there´s a tag under all time high for Apparent temperature ($apptempH), cumulus doesn´t process this tag to the cumuluswebtags.php but the time-tag is processed with correct time and date.
The tag ($apptempL) works fine.

Someone else having this problem?

Where did you get this file? It looks like whoever created it has confused dew point and apparent temperature - possibly it's a "cut and paste" error. What does that line which starts "$dewpointH" look like in the original file - the one with the web tags in it? The items starting with "$" aren't Cumulus web tags, they are PHP variables. The Cumulus web tag for all-time high apparent temperature is "<#apptempH>".

If you look in the cumuluswebtags.txt file, you will see the closing ">" characters are missing for the dew point section just before the apparent temp section. Fix this and you should be OK.

Unfortunately I cannot see the file in the Wiki file store through the 'files' page, so I cannot update it. David (or yourself?) will have to do it.

I just tried uploading a corrected version anyway, and the site doesn't allow it - error message:
"Files of the MIME type "application/x-php" are not allowed to be uploaded."
Which would imply the wrong MIME type is set on the server for .txt files?
txt is listed as an allowed file extension.
