Silverlight CumulusRealtime.txt access

Post by avoorpool »

Hi Steve,

I'm having a dilemma with the choice of the correct Realtime.txt extension in order to display within my website.
I've implemented the Silverlight page in my template, however it's 'tricky' to select the correct extension in CumulusRealtime.xml for the Realtime.txt file:
When I enter in the .xml file 'altonaweather.ca/Realtime.txt' and my website opens with 'www.altonaweather.ca', it doesn't show the data, just displays 'Loading Data' since it can't find the extension.
I noticed this when I Googled my site, and it opened with http://altonaweather.ca (I've set the extension in .xml for http://www.altonaweather.ca/realtime.txt, so I waited till the cows came home, but no display update :D
Any solutions or suggestions from your side in how to avoid 'disappointed' visitors looking at a page that "doesn't work"....??

Thanks,

Arthur

Does the readme.txt not explain this? The one on my PC does, maybe I haven't updated the download?

Hi Steve,

I was happy to get it all (Silverlight) working some time ago, however as a 'stand-alone' url, I never bothered about a possilbe different access.
I do have the Readme.txt file in which indeed this 'problem' is described, but I didn't re-read if after implementation in my template.. :oops: :oops:
It all works fine now!! Thanks for the hint. ;)

Cheers,

Arthur
