Revamped Weather Website using MX Cumulus and MODX CMS
Posted: Sat 08 May 2021 5:10 pm
I've been running a website on the South Coast at Worthing for well over 25 years, I was uploading weather data and a webcam image back in the days of 14.4 modems!
The site is mainly used by wind and kitesurfers, and over the years has had various iterations.
I came back from the French Alps 8 days ago and was in self-isolation / quarantine, so what better time to finally get my head around Cumulus.
I have to admit to probably downloading Cumulus a couple of years ago, but was concerned about switching from USB to Serial using the Davis Utility and losing all connectivity.
So I finally bit the bullet, and ended up doing a complete redesign of my site.
The back-end CMS is an old version of MODX, I used a template I know well as I design sites, but bringing in the MX Cumulus content was challenging to say the least!
But I'm very pleased with the end result and so are my end-users!
Though think there are a few issues with conflicting JavaScripts possibly Google Ads !!??
