Add Cloud base.

Post by K8POS »

After looking at some of the other users, I see that several have added the Cloud base gauge to your pages.
I am very pleased with the set up the SS gauges offers, but would also like to add this one to my set.
I would like to shift the UV index and Solar gauges to the left and add it in at the bottom right.
http://melvinweather.com/gauges-ss.htm
1) Where does one get the needed image files?
2) I think I have to edit the gauges-ssT.htm file that is on my computer, as well as the gauges-ss.css that is on my web server?
3) I read in one of the post that "tip11" is used for this gauge?
4) Is there a way to increase the size of the pop up graph?

Thank you for the terrific brilliant work you have done on this add on to Cumulus.

If you wait a week or so we are currently Beta testing version 2.5 of the gauges that includes the cloud base dial as standard which will save you messing around with the current version.

Hey, I can wait!!!
I think what you guys have done with them so far is awesome!!!!

Still need to figure out how to make the pop up graphs bigger, a bit hard on my old eyes.

Pop up graphs can be made bigger by altering this code in the CSS file gauges-ss.css.

Code: Select all

.tipimg{
  width: 438px;
  height: 175px;
}
You obviously need to keep it linear i.e increase each by the same percentage i.e 20% bigger =

Code: Select all

.tipimg{
  width: 526px;
  height: 210px;
}
Note it is likely that the pop up graphs will be replaced in Cumulus MX as the trends images have been replaced with trends graphs see
http://www.dmjsystems.co.uk/weather/trends.php &
http://www.dmjsystems.co.uk/weather/gauges-ss.php for 2.5beta gauges running on Cumulus MX data without trends pop ups.

Thank you, I got it.
I like the "NEW" trend graphs.
Rain graph is missing "Total Rain" but I like that it gives you an hour by hour showing of how much fell each hour.
Still not sure about the gauge pop ups with out the graphs.
Both look nice, but I guess the graph pop ups on the gauges is a bit redundant.

Ok, just found a flaw in my thinking.
The gauges with the pop up graphs look great on a desk top, but overwhelm a phone screen.

The gauges you showed me here: http://www.dmjsystems.co.uk/weather/gauges-ss.php
Would be the better way to go.
Would still like to see some sort of TOTAL rain fall on each of the graphs.

I am sorry but I do not understand my gauges at that URL do not have any graphs?

Yes, I know they do not. And they should stay that way.
I have the STOCK SS gauges, with the graph pop ups. They are fine on a desktop computer, but not good for a Phone/tablet.
Leave them the way you have them.
Please do let me know when you are ready to make the new release, I am ready to have a go with them.

@K8POS, if you wanted to have the graphs show on a desktop and not on a smaller screen, you could add a media query.

Just as a side note, the graphs are 'responsive' and 'if' used on a 'responsive' template should display well on any size of screen.

I have added an option in 2.5 to not display the graphs on mobile sized screens and it also reduces the width of the pop-up.

The gauges could do more to be responsive, maybe a future release.
