Cumulus Support

Thanks Steve for the <#yesterday> webtag, which I requested only a short while ago. Brilliant to have it included in the very next beta build. This is astonishingly good service. I have donated again - your support for and development of Cumulus is without peer!


I already have the tag in action, using the format parameters as you suggested: http://www.longley.fr/weather/yesterday.htm

That was quick - well done!

<#yesterday> is useful for those with midnight rollovers,
but if you have 9am or 10am rollover, it is wrong in the period between midnight and rollover hour, so a yesterday tag that worked like <#metdate> would be more helpful ?

Yes, that did occur to me, but I forgot to add it; I'll do that.

How did you get the day of the week to show up? Mine only display's 12/3/2012.

Use the 'format' parameter; see the last section of the web tags help page, or the wiki, here: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Webtags#Ti ... _Parameter

I see, thanks!

Hi Steve,

I implemented the <#yesterday> tag as well, but only see () after 'Yesterday's Date'...
Is the tag 'activated' after the first rollover time (midnight tonight)..???

Thanks,

Arthur

No, it should work straight away. Make sure you've got the 'case' correct, it has to be <#yesterday> all lower case. If you can't work out what the problem is, zip up the template and attach it.

Edit: according to your web site, you're still using build 1053?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've attached the yesterdayT.htm file as well as the todayT.htm file (for comparisson).
Today's added time & date shows correct.
Yesterday only shows () (see attachements.

Thanks,

Arthur

Your template is correct. The problem is that you're apparently not using the build of Cumulus which introduced the web tag (1054).

Hi Steve,

Oops

You're always 'too fast' with new builds
I try to keep up with them, but haven't checked lately.
My appology.

Will update right away!!!

Cheers,

Arthur

Back in build 1055 on 9 December 2012, you introduced web tag <#metdateyesterday> as promised earlier in this thread. Has anybody been using it?
I've just run my test page (as first mentioned in https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... 3&start=11, but attached again in the zip) on your current build 1057 and it includes that new web tag and other more recent new tags. I have included a screen extract above with the two metdate tags. My current session of running Cumulus, is short, rollovers were done based on logged data. So I may not be doing a valid test, but it looks like the newer tag could be processing the wrong date?

Yes, it's a copy and paste error.

OK in latest build.
