Steve, again thank you for your work on this latest update to Cumulus. It must have kept you busy for a while!

Much appreciate the results though....

Here is my modified page: http://woodlandweather.org/monthlyrecord.htm

All you've done so far is change the format for the value that is shown when you first go to the page. If you look near the top of the file you'll see the declaration of a set of Javascript variables, e.g.

var hightempT = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=2>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=3>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=4>", ...

Those are the values that the Javascript code uses when you click on a button. You have to change all of those. Somewhat tedious, I realise, and I suppose a single setting in Cumulus to override the format parameter would make it rather easier. But you only have to do it once, and a clever text editor makes it much easier.

Thanks Steve. A little tedious as you say but it only has to be done once. Well worth the effort for the extra dimension it gives to users' records.

I second this. A great deal of effort has gone into providing this enhancement, a great job

Here is the link to my page for anyone interested http://www.pc-king.co.uk/weather/monthlyrecord.htm

Is there a "Highest monthly windrun" (like the rain) ?

Also you have daily 'range' (low / high) for temp, is there similar for pressure ?

Yes webtags in the helpfile like edited <#ByMonthWindRunH> <#ByMonthWindRunHT> also for daily tempranges, not for pressure ranges

No - I haven't introduced any new statistics, just added month-by-month versions of the existing ones; neither of those two currently exist.

But clearly, adding new useful statistics is always on the to-do list. Another one that occurred to me recently (and has been mentioned by others) is "driest month".

Good effort on this Steve, very good feature.
I wish I have been using Cumulus for longer, but this is something I been wanting to do with my manual data from the last 3 years, once I catch up on all my old manual recordings.

Hi Steve,

Before I go ahead and make all those format changes I wanted to check something with you.

The image below is how I would like to display the Monthly Records. I want to split the date into multiple parts and place them in different cells. Will this be possible with the data in an array?

What you could do is create three arrays for the components of the timestamps:

var hightempY = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=yyyy>", ...
var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format="'Day 'd">", ...
var hightempT = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=hh:nn>", ...

and then when you create your cells, give them IDs of (say) TempHY, TempHD, TempHT, and change the code in the changeData function to change all three fields, i.e

document.getElementById('TempHY').innerHTML = hightempY[month];
document.getElementById('TempHD').innerHTML = hightempD[month];
document.getElementById('TempHT').innerHTML = hightempT[month];

Thanks Steve. I'm pleased it's possible. I shall need to read your suggestion a few times so it sinks in.

Steve,

I'm having problems with the day number element. I've used your code as a guide but there is a syntax error in this I can't resolve.

var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=2 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=3 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=4 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=5 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=6 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=8 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=9 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=10 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=11 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=12 format="'Day 'd">");

Can you spot the error?

Yes; the first double quote for the format parameter will be taken as the termination of the array item. I don't know enough about using quotes in javascript to know how you get around that, particularly as single quotes are also used inside the format parameters. In some languages, if you want a double quote inside a string, you put two double quotes, e.g:

new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=""'Day 'd"">"

but I don't know if that works in javascript. It may be that you have to 'escape' the quote character somehow, maybe with a backslash...

This doesn't cause a syntax error.

var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=2 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=3 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=4 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=5 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=6 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=8 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=9 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=10 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=11 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=12 format='Day 'd>")

I removed the double quotes after format= and between d and >. Not sure if that will work but at least it doesn't cause an error.

I'll battle on. Thanks for your answer. Quotes and where to put them is always a bit of a nightmare isn't it?
