Hi bigmac,

Sunny weather is a real basic project to offer a diffrent look for a standard template.
It'a a "cute" template, easy 5-minutes instal with all webtags integrated,. All that, spiced with some "Cumulus trickeries" to do a real living website.

But that template is a bit limited by it's small screen size. Then I launch "weather Blues" who is much wider template to have space for a lot of improvments. Then it's just the begining!

I plan 2 base template to develop with time. Weather Blues is the "nature theme" one and in a few I'll present second template with "futuristic" look... theses templates will grow with "modularity' in mind!
Today first template will be easy to install, and optional pages will be sent to enhance your base. Then users will be able to take one or all "modules" depending on it's level of knowledge!

Then a lot planned!

Jacques

Hi Mark,

As you know Cumulus is now an 8 pages weather engine!
Then content is here!! And it's THE most difficult job to do... having something good for visitors!
Templating it is just the 'wrapping" around the candy! :lol:

But thanks to say that will not be all available... for the week-end! :mrgreen:

Jacques

Jacques, i know someone asked you, but you know the gauges page, have you given any thought to put the steel series gauges in there? I don't know how easy that would be to do, or even install after?

And remember the steelseries offers more gauge variations than I have used (http://idisk.mac.com/han.solo-Public/St ... eries.html) Gerrit also plans on porting his latest traffic light widget to javascript as well.

Why not day/night for each of the seasons ;)

The 'trick" could be applied to anything else, just by using <#isdaylight> webtag.
On your page you just have to insert something like that "picture<#isdaylight>.jpg"
and having 2 pictures named picture0.jpg and picture1.jpg! Switch will be automatic!

And why stop there, you could also have pictures that are nice and sunny, and some stormy, then also use the <#forecastnumber> tag, something like "picture-<#isdaylight>-<#forecastnumber>.jpg You could reuse a few images to cover a range of forecast numbers. I realise that the forecast isn't a 'nowcast', so you maybe you could use the <#rrate> and or <#beaufort> tags to select an image. The <#rrate> would have to converted using a bit of javascript to a 0/1 value.

picture-<#isdaylight>-<#beaufort>

or something like (incomplete)...

<script .....>
var r = <#rrate> == 0 ? 0 : 1;
document.write('<img src="picture-<#isdaylight>-' + r.toString() + '.jpg" />');
</script>

Jacques, if you want any hints using the steelseries drop me a PM and we can discuss direct off-list. I have customised the gauges from Gerrits standard download. The linear gauges I have only tweaked slightly, they could probably be tweaked some more, and I have some additional little features I want to add to the radial gauges.

Hi Bob,

No! Sorry, no download available for now! :(
Text pages are finished. Now I'm working on gauges page to build
something different for this template too!

And since I think many users liked system page, I'll work
on something different too!

Then, to follow...

Jacques
