#recordsbegandate

Post by Farminator »

My all time records web page reports "Records began on 03 March 2012". Technically that's true, we installed Cumulus that day and used it for a few hours to try it out. In fact I just switched to using it permanently today, January 11th. This makes the record data quite misleading, having missed summer and fall.

I've deleted the "dayfile.txt" entries for March 2012, I've deleted "Mar12log.txt". Where do I change "#recordsbegandate"?What else do I need to change, short of editing the html?

My Davis Vantage Pro2 datalogger loaded data since 19 November, 2012. I'd like the report to read "Records began 19 November, 2012."

Stop Cumulus and edit cumulus.ini. Look for the StartDate= line and edit the date. Be sure to use the same format.

That helped me too, hence I changed the <#recordsbegandate> tag to 25 September 2011 when I updated Cumulus from v1.9.2 to v1.9.3 at first as my <#recordsbegandate> was wrong. Now, I just did what you told Farminator to do and I now use the <#recordsbegandate> tag again. :D

Thanks Steve

Will
