Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
There are three ways that the <#snowdepth> tag could give zero:scotweather wrote:Are there any suggestions on how to solve the diary problem not updating Cumuluswebtags.php yet?
1. It doesn't find an entry for today in the diary
2. It finds an entry, but it contains zero
3. It gets an error trying to read the diary
At the moment, we don't know which one is happening, but the third is the most likely, since your diary does contain a non-zero entry. I added some diagnostics at build 965 of 1.9.1 so that it would log any error to the diags file rather than just trapping and ignoring it. I just need someone to try it.

Thank you.

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
That's interesting; I didn't actually do anything that would make it start working, I just added logging for when it didn't.scotweather wrote:I downloaded and installed the 1.9.1 beta and entered in today's snow depth and cumuluswebtags.php is now updating

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
Hi there ScotWeather & Steve,
My apologies for not mentioning this sooner but, I too have been having the same issue as you ScotWeather with the latest stable build Ver 1.9.0 Build 958. The only way I could get it to update the Cumulus PHP Webtags and indeed the standard #webtag, was to restart Cumulus.

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
I hate to tell you this but.... I have the exact same problem in 1.9.1
Enter a value in the weather diary the other day it displayed now when I put an entry in for today, cumuluswebtags shows $snowdepth to be 0 (zero).
So its doing exactly the same even an application restart didn't sort the problem.
I've attached my debug file and log.xml again

I'm not surprised, because I haven't done anything to fix the problem.scotweather wrote:I hate to tell you this but.... I have the exact same problem in 1.9.1
The new error message goes to the diags file, not the debug log.I've attached my debug file

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
I've attached the diag files from 1st December 2010 through to todays.
I upgraded to 1.9.1 on the 2nd December so if anything is obvious from yesterday and today you might find what's going on.
Hope I've attached the right files you need.
Thanks
Kate
p.s. there is an error in the diags files "Error reading diary file: ClientDataSet1: Missing data provider or data packet"

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
That's a shame, that's the same sort of error you get when the file is corrupt. But at least it proves that the problem is number 3 in my list. I'll see what I can come up with.scotweather wrote:Error reading diary file: ClientDataSet1: Missing data provider or data packet

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
It's the log.xml file. I'm wondering if there's some sequence that causes that file to appear to be corrupt to the web tag processing code. But if a restart doesn't clear it, that would seem to discount that possibility.scotweather wrote:Which file is the diary file ?

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
I have a theory about the problem. How do you start Cumulus? From the shortcut created by the installer? If not, does the shortcut you use set the working directory correctly (the 'Start in' folder)? I've unintentionally set the path for the log file for the web tag code with a relative path 'data\log.xml', but after that all the paths use the application folder in case the working directory hasn't been set up. So that one path could become invalid and the file will appear to not exist.
I'll fix the code in the next build; in the meantime could you check the above?

Re: Snow Depth in Cumulus 1.9.0
cumulus is installed c:\Cumulus with all its default folders. and the Start in is set to C:\Cumulus
I also use the installer shortcut that was placed on the desktop to launch it and it also launches at startup.
