Cumulus HTML Transaprrent tags
Posted: Wed 03 Sep 2008 7:43 am
Hello Steve,
I recently started using Cumulus, and have to compliment you on a great job!
I am so taken by it that I'm writing a Yahoo Widget (and Ubuntu Screenlet) for my desktop that reads data from a web page posted by Cumulus.
The way I do it is by simply posting an XML file that the widget scrapes periodically, and updates.
I have one comment, and two questions:
Comment
1) I think there is a typo in the help file for tags. The normal wind gust max tag for today is and the time tag for it is as opposed to the published
Questions:
1) I can get the history data for wind speed and time only for today ( ), and yesterday ( ), but can't seem to make the tags for all time Max Wind Speed and time to work. I may simply be a dunce and am using the wrong tags here.
2) Does the comma separated values as given by the tags correlate? In other words would the value given by an array wdirdata[0] be the wind speed at the time when the wind direction was given by the arry value wspddata[0]?
Kind regards
Jan
