Website Problems

Post by Grimers »

Hello everyone,

I've recently decreased the height of my Davis Vantage Vue from 6 meters to 2 meters to get accurate readings except for wind. Also, as well as this, I reset the data at 08:24, however I'm getting this weird error on the home page "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime." Does anyone know what this is about? Also, every web page except the trends page isn't updating, there are no errors in the MXDiags files and I've tried restarting the program several times to no effect.

Cheers,

William

This is pointing to your "Last Rainfall:" so what is the value?

Null, because the data has been reset. But, that's not what is causing the website to stop updating. I've just restarted Cumulus MX again and no luck, I don't know if it's the website server or Cumulus MX...

The only thing I have done, is moved the CumulusMX folder to Program Files (x86). Could that be the issue?

Fixed! For some weird reason, Cumulus cannot be placed inside the Program Files (x86) folder! How strange!

It's in the readme for Cumulus 1, and mentioned in a FAQ.

Program Files is a normally a read-only folder, writes are redirected depending on the OS version. You can alter the permissions on the Cumulus folder to make it behave like any other folder - but its best to avoid Program Files.

That makes sense, I remembered that the Program Files and the Program Files (x86) folder has certain permission which causes Cumulus to have issues.

Mark, I hope you don't mind me asking you again for help and feel free to decline this offer this time as this is a very minor thing, but I've recently changed the grid.js and the cumuluscharts.js file to how I want, however when I hover over the legend on the trends (which is now unselectable) the hand icon still appears. This may cause some confusion to some users as they think it's selectable when it isn't. I tried changing this code:

Code: Select all

cursor: 'pointer'
To:

Code: Select all

cursor: default
But, it didn't change the hand icon to a normal arrow icon. Do you know why this is the case?

Thanks very much for everyone's help on here, it's greatly appreciated and I am learning from you.

Cheers.

Unfortunately not, that's code to disable selecting the legend items but I've already done that, I just want to change the icon from the hand to the normal arrow.

That is attributed to a mouseover event.

Edit: It's probably down to some css styling somewhere.

Try adding...

Code: Select all

legend: {
            itemHoverStyle: {
                cursor: 'default'
            }

Mark, you're a star, I didn't see that code mentioned anywhere. Thanks very much.
