I have updated to CW11c and CU11c, as well as this new davconvp2CU.zip even though I don't have UV or Solar as yet, and all seems to be working well.

OK there's mention of a Saratoga version of this Davis live console script................Can anyone let me have a copy for downloading ? File in question is: davconvp2cw.php.

28 October 2013
Updated to ver 2.1a
Further code refinements, stability, tests for files etc
Added a few further options and further unified code with the CW version.

21 October 2013
Version 2.0 has arrived.
A rework of the file structure, bug fixes and enhancements!

29 September 2013
Davis 'Live' Console
VERSION CU1.1d

This is a new script for Cumulus
(there is a separate thread for Cumulus generated Websites here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=10598)
It is adapted from the original script by Axelvold for Weather Display and subsequent updates by others.
Project has been discussed with and code submitted to Axelvold and Allessandro Bardi (who supplied the version that this script mostly resembles).
It retains all the original credits, copyrights and GNU licence etc.
It has been some months in development with subsequent on-going refinements and testing.
It is offered for use, as is, without any commitment of support but I am open to constructive suggestions and will assist as and when I have the time and inclination.

Significant changes have been made to numerous aspects of the script and it's concept, graphics and various other elements.
It utilises a specific tag file for this script delivering only the required tags in the format to suit the script.
This presents either the Vue or the VP2 / Plus 'Live' Console. (two separate .php scripts)

It works with a webserver that supports a recent version of PHP with GD2 graphics (i.e. pretty much any Apache based webserver).
The scripts include live updating via javascript/jquery so client browsers require javascript loaded.

A working version of both the Cumulus and Saratoga based websites can be viewed at;
Cumulus version - http://silveracorn.co.nz/cumulus (navigation bar option 'console')
Saratoga version - http://silveracorn.co.nz/weather (menu item 'Live Console')

As these scripts receive data from Cumulus, either or both the Vue and VP2 versions can be used even if you don't have a Davis console!
However you will need a console that delivers a forecast string. Forecast strings and icons should work for SOME LaCrosse and Oregon Scientific models but as I don't have access to any of these stations this functionality is not tested.

All configuration options are in the main davconvxxCU.php script
The only settings required for Cumulus users to get started is to add a navigation bar item to the ....T.htm files and to add the setting 'Plus' if you have a VPro2 Plus.

There is a .. HowTo.txt file which describes all the steps required to add the package to you website.

Edit 1 23 Sep 2013
OK it's Back with a bit of a tidy up here and there but just one real change as advised by Mark Crossley - many thanks.
8 previous downloads
Revised to Version CU1.1b to resolve FTP issues found by PaulMy
No need to update from 1.1a if you have no issues with the operation of 1.1a
7 downloads

Edit 2 26 Sep 2013
Ver CU1.1c
Change to auto refresh from 1 hr to 10 mins (works in I.E.) - refreshes graphs more often
Re-instatement of GET retries - it seems that Firefox times out sometimes if other data is being downloaded at the same time (graphics etc) as realtime without this.
Add missing table data to davcon24T.txt
Some minor code revisions
Revised HowTo instructions.

If you only use the Vue version you should still update the .js file in the davcon folder.
Recommend all update from previous versions.
The _Upd.zip contains all files except the static libraries and graphics in the _Full.zip
Full - 4 downloads, Upd - 2 downloads

Edit 3 27 Sep 2013
Incorporated into ver CU1.1d

Edit 4 29 Sep 2013
Ver CU1.1d
Some code revisions, moved some blocks to functions
recoded barotrend arrow
added imperial unit variants for rain decimal places, and for barotrend arrow
Updated HowTo
PLEASE CHECK THE HowTo CAREFULLY as there is a change to the location of the jquery.min.js library! This was done to reduce issues of conflict with multiple loading of different versions.
It is preferable to load only one.
Recommend all users update from previous versions.
The _Upd.zip contains all files except the static libraries and graphics in the _Full.zip

Edit 5 30 Sep 2013

Edit 6 21 October 2013
Version 2.0
This version changes the main file structures.
There is now a single file with all the code that is not console type specific.
There are two separate -inc include files, one for vp2 and the other for vue, that contain all the console type specific code.
A 'Page updated' indicator has been added.
Imperial mm/dd layout fixed and more logical setting layout - thanks to suggestions from n9mfk
More robust file loading/checking routines
See the file header and the ....HowTo.txt file for full details on changes, installation and configuration.

The _Upd.zip contains all files except the static libraries and graphics in the _Full.zip
Please ensure you apply ALL the files in the ..._Upd.zip if updating an earlier version as all files in the update package have changed in some way.

Edit 7 28 October 2013
Version 2.1
Hopefully this will be the last revision (E&OE!)
Note this _Upd package requires Ver 2.0
The _Upd.zip contains all files except the static libraries and graphics in the _Full.zip
If you are updating from an earlier version please download ver 2.1_Full

Edit 8 - 3 November 2013
Version 2.1a
Note this _Upd package requires Ver 2.1
The _Upd.zip contains all files except the static libraries and graphics in the _Full.zip
If you are updating from a version earlier than 2.1, please download ver 2.1a_Full
Changes are mainly housekeeping;
Reverted to previous version of meta refresh code as there seems to be some timing issues on some webservers.
Tidied up messages
Removed one unused line in showage.js which generated an inconsequential error.

Enjoy!

Try this link that is right there in the first post of this thread (and as you quoted) https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=10598

You will need the full CW package if you are going to run it in the Saratoga template environment as all the files except the graphics are different!

You can't mix and match files between the two systems.
