Help with Dashboard & Highcharts customisations

[pacificblue03]

Hello,

I have been recently editing my dashboard as per:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/104TqRW ... drive_link

Beneath the Temperature reading, how can i replace the minimum temperature with the minimum reading since midnight? as id like to know what the overnight minimum was not the one right at 9am. I tried to use the webtag for Min since midnight & it did not work. It just showed a -- where that value would be.

Also, for the highcarts charts, how do you change the background colour? i tried to edit the DIV background but that doesnt work. I went through Charts.js & there was no success. I would like to make it darker to match my "dark mode" theme.

Thank you for your assistance

For the minimum temperature, you could set up MX so that it finishes its recording day (rollover time) at midnight. This is the default for a MX installation. To change from a 9am rollover you have to select the "midnight" option in Settings -> Station Settings -> Log Rollover.

Hi Freddie,

I am not looking to roll-over at midnight as the meteorological day is 9am to 9am, but even the weather sites show the "overnight minimum" this is what I am trying to achieve, I tried the span for the appropriate Web Webtag but it does not work.

Hi Antonio,

Okay, I understand what you're trying to achieve.

The reason your spam doesn't work is because the tempMidnightTL webtag isn't included in the standard data transfer files, such as websitedata.json. To add it you would need to edit the template file websitedataT.json. This template can be found in the "web" directory of your CumulusMX installation.

Hi Freddie,

Unfortunately the web folder is external to the interface that is local "dashboard" so i guess it cannot be done, unless there is a local file which defines the tags. Thank you anyway for the help

Oh crikey, sorry I thought you were talking about your website. That webtag will be available to the interface, as the interface uses the CMX API to get its webtag values. You can see it for yourself if you try:

Code: Select all

http://<cmx-ip-address>:8998/api/tags/process.json?tempMidnightTL

So there must be an additional bit of configuration somewhere that will cause that span to become populated with data. You could have a dig around in the javascript code, or maybe look at the CMX source on GitHub. Sorry I can't help any further but I have never tinkered with the interface before.

Yep that did it! i can see "13.1" as the min, compared to 19.0 at 9am...

Hopefully i can find the way to add it! ive actually done a lot to the dashboard, you can see in my original post (if the link works) or i can re link it.

Just thought i would mention,


Ive edited the file dashboard,js
i have added line:
tempMidnightTL: inp.tempMidnightTL.toString(),
But the dashboard still displays --.-

So what am i doing wrong?
