JavaScript WDL version 1.0.0 alpha.

I can confirm it works in testing here
very easy :slight_smile:
not sure how much info I am allowed to spill though :wink:

Feel free to tell all about it :lol:

It has come up that we will need some sort of config file, for very basic things. At this stage I am thinking it will set date format, the nameā€™s of clientraw files, and default units.
Is there anything else along those lines that anyone can think of, that might be useful to have customisable?

Also, would people be interested in seeing the GitHub repository? Technically (for those of you who havenā€™t heard of it before) it is a service which allows for contribution to open source projects such as this, but is also has tabs for reporting bugs or adding suggestions, as well as letting people see what is currently being worked on / what is planned. If anyone would find this intersting / useful, Iā€™ll happy chuck up the link here, for now :slight_smile:

kewl
here is my test
http://weather-display.com/windy/FreshWDLmaster.html
the data does not update though as my clientraw.txt file is not a default name (and so that will need to be part of a config setting :wink:

it was very easy to setup
I just had to upload that one file ,FreshWDLmaster.html
as the java script files are not hosted on your site (avantage is that Yerren can modify/improve those and everyone gets that update)

Looks fantastic ! I for one would donate a small fee (if you want to go the way of Cumulus) for this. I would like to be added to the list of recipients (if there is one). I will be moving soon and setting up a new website for my station.

Thank you! :slight_smile:
Iā€™m not particularly ā€˜in the knowā€™ with the actual weather station side of things, what do you mean by Cumulus? :oops:

Cumulus weather software by Sandysoftā€¦donationware

Ah that makes sense, thank you :smiley:

As for a ā€œlistā€, while I have nothing in place as of yet, that might be a very good idea.
Either way, between myself and possibly Brian, Iā€™m sure we will be able to let people know when this is available. Hopefully very soon! :smiley:

yes, i can make it available to download from the WD web site and then add a paypal donate button to the cause for Yerren :wink:

=D>

Yerren and Brian, I really enjoy what you have produced so far - the page displayed on Brianā€™s site is greatā€¦ :headbang:

Not necessarily part of the config fileā€¦

One thing I dislike very much is when one clicks on a link in a page, that page disappear and is replace by a new page (where the link was pointing to). What I am referring to is the link to Clicky ā€˜Real Time Web Analyticsā€™ (at the bottom left side of the page/screen) - would it be possible to have that link open in a new tab or in a new window so that the WDL page is not deleted/replaced.

Oh, and a link to GitHub would also be nice as one would be able to follow the path of this new WDL (thanks). :wink:

The ā€˜Clickyā€™ thing isnā€™t actually part of the design, it is something left over from where it was originally hosted that I forgot to remove before sending the test over to Brian #-o
Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Additionally, people should be warned that while we are testing things on Brianā€™s server, his link wonā€™t be guaranteed to be up and running the whole time!

and the ability to set the name of the clientraw file works!
good stuff :slight_smile:
http://weather-display.com/windy/FreshWDLmaster.html
(took a few hours for the change to roll through ā€¦is that just this one time only Yerren?)

Hooray! :smiley:

Changing your configuration settings will usually be immediate, it is the behind-the-scenes stuff that takes a little while to come into effect. (So, essentially, Iā€™m the only one which will notice that delay! :lol:)

will it be possible to have it start in ā€˜Americanā€™ values instead of metric?

One of the last posts/links seemed to show auto update too. You are doing great work.

I think this is great! One thingā€¦the tank display for the windspeed is ok but I know folks would like a gauge instead. Makes it more readable. One thing thoughā€¦WDL appeared to be real time as well as the Steel Gauges. I havenā€™t noticed how ā€œreal timeā€ this is. Does this auto refresh as conditions change ?

ā€¦i see its updating every 5 and/or 10 secondsā€¦

You can select the units in the config file.

one issue that we have found is
that
if you have your time display set in WD to 12 hour clock
then the graphs will not work for the hours after midday to midnight

but
that is really something that should not have been like that for the times in the clientrawextra.txt for the graph I guess,ā€¦the clientraw files are supposed to be more consistant than that, so, with a new .zip update of WD, the times for the 24 hour graphs in the clientrawextra are now 24 hour format regardless (will take 24 hours of running that update for that to all roll through (so my graphs should start working correctly after 24 hours from now)

that will mean though the times along the bottom of your WDL graphs will be 24 hour format too
hopefully not too many complaints about that

it might not be until next year that Yerren makes this all available to others to test

Indeed, it will be a few more days till I have everything sorted out, and with my holiday break almost over, less time will be available to work on it! :frowning:

However, there really is only one more thing I want to sort out, and then we should be good to go! (At which stage I am sure people will spot another dozen bugs, but that is all part of the fun :wink:)
So, once it is put out there, please do be prepared to contact me about any issues you find, and be ready for a few updatesā€¦

I donā€™t know what server resources you have available, but are you sure you want to keep serving all those javascripts for everyone?
