Is there a "Highest monthly windrun" (like the rain) ?

Also you have daily 'range' (low / high) for temp, is there similar for pressure ?

Yes webtags in the helpfile like edited <#ByMonthWindRunH> <#ByMonthWindRunHT> also for daily tempranges, not for pressure ranges

No - I haven't introduced any new statistics, just added month-by-month versions of the existing ones; neither of those two currently exist.

But clearly, adding new useful statistics is always on the to-do list. Another one that occurred to me recently (and has been mentioned by others) is "driest month".

Good effort on this Steve, very good feature.

I wish I have been using Cumulus for longer, but this is something I been wanting to do with my manual data from the last 3 years, once I catch up on all my old manual recordings.

Hi Steve,

Before I go ahead and make all those format changes I wanted to check something with you.

The image below is how I would like to display the Monthly Records. I want to split the date into multiple parts and place them in different cells. Will this be possible with the data in an array?

What you could do is create three arrays for the components of the timestamps:

var hightempY = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=yyyy>", ...
var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format="'Day 'd">", ...
var hightempT = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=hh:nn>", ...

and then when you create your cells, give them IDs of (say) TempHY, TempHD, TempHT, and change the code in the changeData function to change all three fields, i.e

document.getElementById('TempHY').innerHTML = hightempY[month];
document.getElementById('TempHD').innerHTML = hightempD[month];
document.getElementById('TempHT').innerHTML = hightempT[month];

Thanks Steve. I'm pleased it's possible. I shall need to read your suggestion a few times so it sinks in. :lol:

Steve,

I'm having problems with the day number element. I've used your code as a guide but there is a syntax error in this I can't resolve.

var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=2 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=3 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=4 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=5 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=6 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=8 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=9 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=10 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=11 format="'Day 'd">","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=12 format="'Day 'd">");

Can you spot the error?

Yes; the first double quote for the format parameter will be taken as the termination of the array item. I don't know enough about using quotes in javascript to know how you get around that, particularly as single quotes are also used inside the format parameters. In some languages, if you want a double quote inside a string, you put two double quotes, e.g:

new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format=""'Day 'd"">"

but I don't know if that works in javascript. It may be that you have to 'escape' the quote character somehow, maybe with a backslash...

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 6:53 pm

This doesn't cause a syntax error.

var hightempD = new Array("<#ByMonthTempHT mon=1 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=2 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=3 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=4 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=5 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=6 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=8 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=9 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=10 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=11 format='Day 'd>","<#ByMonthTempHT mon=12 format='Day 'd>")

I removed the double quotes after format= and between d and >. Not sure if that will work but at least it doesn't cause an error.

I'll battle on. Thanks for your answer. Quotes and where to put them is always a bit of a nightmare isn't it?

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:46 pm

I've made progress. I decided to dump the Day = bit as double-quotes didn't work either. Instead I've named the columns so it's clear what is what.

I've only changed Highest Temperature at the moment just so I can see if it works.

I have two queries.

1) If I use the format in the data array to define how I want each element of the date to appear is it necessary to use format again in each td element? I can't think why it would so I haven't included it.

2) When I first load the page I'm still seeing the old date and time format but after hitting a month button it then shows each element of the date and time correctly in its own cell. Why do I still see the original date/time on first load?

Other than that it looks like I have the basics working.

Here is a slight variation on Steve's default page. I've just amended the date/time format slightly, and made it so that the current month is always displayed on entering the page.

You can view my data here: http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/monthlyrecord.htm

Note the navigation menu is wrong for my site (it is the default) and I had to zip the file below as you cannot attach html or txt files.

EDIT: File removed see later posts for an updated version

You've answered your own question. The reason you have to do (1) is because of (2). Unless you add some javascript that triggers when the page is loaded. I'm not completely sure how you do that, possibly by changing the <body> tag to:

<body onload="changeData(0);">

I was going to suggest that in my previous post, but my javascript knowledge is already being stretched :lol:

steve · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:03 pm

Mark, why does:

"<#ByMonthDailyRainHT mon=1 format="'day' dd, yyyy 'at' hh:mm">"

work in your code but apparently didn't for Ray? Why doesn't the double quote starting the format terminate the array item?
