AJAX Humidity Problem

Hi Ken,

For some reason the AJAX Humidity unit "%" doesn't flash like all the other units when the ajax-dashboard.php updates?

Why is this happening?

Thanks

Will

Two reasons,
1) the % is outside the <span class="ajax" id="ajaxhumidity"> ... </span> and only things inside the span are replaced.
2) the AJAX update for ajaxhumidity doesn't include the units (%).

The other weather variables include the units because they are selectable based on settings in the ajaxCUwx.js script -- Humidity is always in % irrespective of other units choices.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Hi Ken,

You haven't told me how to fix this...

Do I add something in the ajaxCUwx.js file?

Thanks for you help...

Will

Leave it alone !

The figure will 'flash', if you change the script then any future updates will simply revert it back.

Hi guys,

Ok, I've just been speaking to Steve.

It had to make some changes in the realtime.txt file.

I simply created a .txt file and named it "realtime.txt". Then, I put in all the realtime.txt tags and added a % after the tag <#hum>. Then, I used the "Files" tab in the Internet Settings to make Cumulus process, Realtime and FTP the file.

Then, after all that...it worked! :D

Thanks

Will

Read (and understand) my first reply -- it has all the details of why the % unit doesn't 'flash'.

Read (and understand) BJ's comment - you can choose to change the behavior by altering both ajax-dashboard.php and ajaxCUwx.js, and afterwards, providing your own support for those mods as future releases of the two scripts occur.
