Cumulus Support

I am trying to setup my weather website and am having issues I have the website but it is not updating. http://home.comcast.net/~lynnt-wa/weather/
not sure what I am doing wrong, I am not new to building websites (but haven't done so in a long time) and I believe I have all the files uploaded to my "weather' directory and you can see that the pages are loading.
Any help will be greatly appreciated I can send screen prints of my directory or whatever is needed.

thanks
Lynn

Your updated pages are appearing one level up

http://home.comcast.net/~lynnt-wa/index.htm

Although all the rest of your files, including realtime.txt, are correctly in your /weather directory.

WOW thank you beteljuice - now I will figure out what in the world is happening there - probably a Frontpage issue - yes I know

I'll work on this later right now having a Guinness and celebrating St. Pat's Day!

Thanks
LynnT

Thank you thank you - got page up and working http://home.comcast.net/~lynnt-wa/weather/
the only thing is - It will not automatically refresh the page - manually yes but not automatically any suggestions. I will search the forum too.
thanks
Lynn

Lynn, the pages don't automatically refresh, intentionally. If you really want them to do that, you'll need to use one of the usual techniques, e.g. a meta 'refresh' tag, or javascript or whatever.

Thanks Steve,

BTW great program!!! could I make a request for the future tho? - I was using WUHU for uploading info to cwop, weather underground etc. and I really liked the feature they had on their control panel* and that was a link to those websites: http://home.comcast.net/~wuhu_software/ would be nice to be able to send info to all of these sites from Cumulus because I love the fact that I do not need two programs running to get info and it creates a webpage too.
*see attached file

Thanks for the super program and your help.

Lynn

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for, the ability to upload to those sites - Cumulus does all of those already. Or the hyperlinks from the setup screen to the appropriate sites?

Steve

Sorry for not making myself clear.

I was asking for the hyperlinks to these sites - just makes it real easy to check everything at once.
And can I upload to AWEKAS? I do not see that one in the upload area.

thanks again,
LynnT

As I understand it, AWEKAS just requires a file of a particular format to be uploaded to the root of your website. I believe someone has created a template, using Cumulus web tags, of the correct format, so all you have to do is add that to the custom files list. I may be making this up; but the AWEKAS web site does mention Cumulus, so it must be possible somehow.

Steve

Steve,

I had found a template on the forum for a short .txt file but Othmar (administrator) at AWEKAS said that was old and we should use the awekas_wl.htm template - I believe that is posted here too (it also on the AWEKAS site http://www.awekas.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=229 with variations for different weather stations) but I had to make a change in it for it to properly display the date here is what my .html file looks like.. The only value I don't seem to be able to get is pressure tendency to show up at AWEKAS I put the (what I believe to be ) the proper tag but it is not reporting at AWEKAS... I might try the <#presstrendval> tag and see what that does.

Big THANKS to whoever created this template!
If I can be of any help to anyone please e-mail me.
LynnT

<#presstrendval> is the trend in figures, which is probably what awekas wants, rather than <#presstrend>, which is words - "rising" etc.

Steve

Steve,

Actually FYI and anyone else running this template, I found out that it is the trend in words that AWEKAS wants.

Oh, right. Thanks!

Steve

Hello

We have a question at our forum about data transmission to AWEKAS. Can anybody write a litte manual at your forum (and/or) our forum.

I think data transfer now ok with CUMULUS and new file format. (like post LynnT)

Thanks Othmar

Othmar,

Thought I had it done - what exactly do you need? and I will try to post it so people can read this topic and find the template what else can I do for anyone who wants to make Cumulus and Awekas work together.

Working great for me.

look at here to see output of the template
