Cumulus Support

Dear all,

I like the look of the Odometer for the windrun. I have upgraded to 1.6.5 but when I try to get it to work all that happens is I loose both my wind gauges.

Would anybody like to have a go at writing a simple set of instructions for implementing the Odometer.

Hi Geoff,

This is what I did:

In realtimegaugesT.txt
Insert :
"avgbearing":"<#avgbearing>","windrun":"<#windrun>","press":"<#press>"

In gauges.js
insert at line 617 :
labelNumberFormat : g_labelFormat,
useOdometer: true,
odometerParams: {digits: 4}
});

Insert at line 1442 :
}
gauge_wind.setOdoValue(data.windrun);
gauge_wind.setArea(g_wind.areas);

...and it should work...

BTW
Your site looks great, but for my eyes, your menu buttons don't contrast well with the orange text against the brushed aluminium background.

Cheers,

Thanks Graeme,

That works like a charm.

Thanks for the comments regarding my site. I agree that there isn't enough contrast between the menu buttons and text but I haven't come up with a good alternative yet. I don't want to make the text black becasue that is too boring but I also don't want to add more colours because that will distract from the colours that make the weather information more readable. I will consider it further.

Thanks Graeme, that was on my "to do list" to look at today. I got more time in the garden now.

I was thinking maybe a "Windrun" label underneath the odometer would be a nice touch.

That would be nice.

Sadly, my javascript skills aren't up to the job, everything I touch at the moment seems to break something else, so I'll leave for someone more qualified to sort....

...might just give it all a rest for a couple of days....

Right next challenge for me is to try and get the odometer to work.

Have created a www.cm2weather.co.uk/test.htm
Which uses a copy of the s test.js

But after making the changes, I get no dials again.

Back to the drawing board.

Whoops, missed out a comma.

All working now, will now update the main gauges-ss page when I get a minute.
Once again, thanks to all the clever people here who have posted.
