The link to the CSS file uses a Cumulus web tag (<#isdaylight>), so it has to be processed and uploaded by Cumulus:





You can add another 10 files by editing Cumulus.ini (with Cumulus stopped). If you look for the entries for existing files, you should be able to work out how to add new ones. The ones you can set via the settings screen all end in 0 to 9 (e.g. ExtraLocal0=...), you can specify another 10 ending in 10 to 19. But: Cumulus will automatically upload most of the ones you have listed at the moment, as they have the same names as the 'standard' files. So you can remove those and make sure you have 'include standard files' ticked. The same goes for realtime.txt, just tick the boxes to get Cumulus to upload it.

Edit: I've just noticed that your pages with 'standard' names have the correct link to the CSS file. What must be happening is that you do have 'include standard files' ticked, so these are being processed and uploaded as usual. If you have literally put a URL for the remote files (e.g. http://robertyelverton.info/weather/system.htm) then these will not be uploaded as ftp does not understand http URLs. You have to specify a path on your ftp server.

Hi Robert,

This template doesn't need to be all processed by "optional" files processing.

All the files with ending "T" letter (indexT.htm, todayT.htm and so on) are treated automaticly by Cumulus.
if you follow installation steps at that link : http://meteoduquebec.com/sunny_weather.html
You'll see at Step 1 and 2 wich files has to be copied in C:\Cumulus\web folder (if you install Cumulus in C:\Cumulus\)

Finally, at end of this web page, you'll find a section called "Processing optional pages". You then have to add only 3 files at max :
- System.htm file has to be processed each time, to be "up-to-date" with the state of your station.
- infos.htm and webcam.htm files need to be process only one time to insert infos (but could also be process eaxh time without "dommage" it's up to you!

Then I hope you a lot of fun with this template ...and don't hesitate if you need more assistance!

Cheers,
Jacques

Thank You to both! I have removed all the standard pages from the:
Configuration>Internet>files section because I do have the Include Standard Files and Images checked.

I also put the ftp path for the extra files.

C:\Cumulus\realtime.txt > /public_html/weather/realtime.txt
C:\Cumulus\web\system.htm > /public_html/weather/system.htm
C:\Cumulus\web\infos.htm > /public_html/weather/infos.htm
C:\Cumulus\web\webcam.htm > /public_html/weather/webcam.htm

Now everything is looking good except for the webcam page. Looks like the layout is broke. So a little help on what is missing? I bet it is just one line. Grrr...

When all pages are done and working properly then I will start making changes, like turning the webcam page into just pictures since I do not have a webcam.

Thank You once again!

Hi Robert,

Could you specify wthat wrong to see... I see a perfect page! But my eyesare little old!
(all other pages seem to be ok to.. except graphs page... need a smaller big graph, good size is 720 x 288)

Here is what I see.

Odd, I just opened it in FireFox and it is displaying perfectly.

But in MIE 8, the above image is how it is displaying. Looks like a broken table. Sadly most people still use MIE.

Hi Robert,

With Firefox it's ok, with safari it's ok, with IE9 it's ok, but in IE8, effeftively, there's a bug!
Do you have tried to use a fresh from the Zip original file?

Jacques

That was the first thing that I tried was to copy the original file (that I keep safe and unchaged) over the one in the web directory. (sigh)

I will try shutting down Cumulus, deleting the webcam file from the web directory, deleting it from my server on the net. Then doing a fresh copy to the web directory from the original and see what that does.

Hi Robert,

My excuses, I've just take a look at the Demo and the problem is present too!

When I create a page I always check with IE9, FF7 and Safari on iPad... but the problem is with IE8 only!
(...Then that's for you Bill (Gates)! )

I'll check that page today and will send a new page shortly!

Thanks for your Quality Control!

Jacques

Nope, that did not work either. It displays the same. (sigh)

LOL! Love that hammer smilie! Microscrew stays buggy and they have a bad habit that when a new version comes out they stop fixing bugs on the older versions. But the majority of people are slow to update. Also compounding the problem is that MIE is still the mojor browser used because it comes already installed on new PC's and the majority of web users still do not know that there is better out there and never update thier browsers. I tend to stick with the version number that is one below the newest release until an even newer version comes out.

No problem on me finding that bug. Hope it does not wreck your day to much.

I found the mistake.

The current html coding is: (notice where the <div id="header"> is)

<div id="container">
<div style="float:right; width:100px; height: 100px; margin: 50px 135px 0px 0px">
<img src="images/ghost.png" alt="" usemap="#system" />
<map id="system" name="system">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" alt="" href="system.htm" />
</map>
</div>
<div id="header">

I have corrected it to the proper placement. (notice where the <div id="header">) is now.

<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div style="float:right; width:100px; height: 100px; margin: 50px 135px 0px 0px">
<img src="images/ghost.png" alt="" usemap="#system" />
<map id="system" name="system">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" alt="" href="system.htm" />
</map>
</div>

This is on the webcam.htm. I have also already corrected the original file on my PC. The error is in the line 15-22 range.

Well, I have now turned the webcam page into a picture slideshow. Please check it out. It is a work in progress as I just threw some pictures together real fast and did not even bother with proper descriptions/captions.

Hi Robert,

Your website looks pretty good!
You've done a real well job with your webcam page! Good idea

A little trick, if your slideshow is in javascript? many times we could place our initialisation script at the end of page, just before </body> (instead of before </head>). It cut initial page download quite a few... for a snappy loafung!

... and a suggestion for your menu... "slideshow" is little bit long for that menu... maybe it coukd be named... Images... or Photos??

Like we say in French.... Bravo!
Jacques
