I am suggesting that you work through the straight forward basic pages first and get each one working. Focus on one at a time. You will build skills in the process.

Right now you appear only to have the home page and the status pages working properly.
Gauges is close but says it is off line.
Tables, Records, live console, and graphs tabs/pages are all missing data.
So you should work through those one at a time to sort out why they don't have data and get that sorted.
By then you should have a better idea on how to get the console working.

It seems that you have the unprocessed template files on the website. So you should start with how to ensure they are being processed and sent to the right place.

Once you have all this working then move on to the console scripts:-
As already posted, because you are using a different template system there will be issues with the presentation with your template as the CU version of the console scripts assume the Cumulus standard weatherstyle.css You will need to install that to begin with then once you have the console working you can adapt your template's style sheet(s).
The ./davcon/davconCU.css will always be required.
You also need to be sure the required data files are being processed and sent to the right place. All this is well covered in the davconCUHowTo.txt file included in the download package.

The download page on our website clearly indicates that the 'Live' Davis console Script Packages are only offered for Cumulus and Weather Display with Saratoga or Cumulus HTML websites. Many users have adapted the scripts to other templates but we have no involvement with nor offer any support for those adaptations.

I take it davconfcst.php is generated by Cumulus (from davconfcstT.txt)

could you try to remove the "./" from this string

Line 91 from davconvp2CU.php so it reads:

Code: Select all

$fcst_data = 'davconfcst.php'; // contains var $interval required for meta refresh
and not this:

Code: Select all

$fcst_data = './davconfcst.php'; // contains var $interval required for meta refresh
just to see it that fixes anything. (it may not do, but worth a try.)

looking at your http://www.davisworthing.co.uk/davcon/ folder

the filenames have a capital letter I wonder if the icon is not being found/read correctly.

take a look at mine

http://www.conligwx.org/davcon/ all filenames are lowercase.

Perhaps this is the issue? or its permissions on the files or folders.

does your real console show the correct forecast icon?

Most webservers (linux/apache based) are all lower case by default and it is best to keep to that standard.

other than this, there must be some bug in the code that doesnt like your setup.
