One little issue i can't figure out

I have only recently installed saratoga template and have pretty much figured everything out that i want to do (for the moment). There is one little oddity, that doesn’t seem to affect performance, but i have no idea where this is coming from. My site is Stanley Rapids Weather - Home.

I have it set in ajaxWDwx to update every 60 seconds. testtags.php is updated every 5 minutes. It updates just fine. But the timer count on the main screen starts out fine:

But when it reaches 60 seconds:

The name of the site is ‘Stanley Rapids’ so, it looks like its grabbing a piece of the name from somewhere and the timer count does not reset to 0.
Anyone got a thought on what i have done or screwed up?

Thanks,
Jim

Edit: I just noticed that header (gizmo?) shows the same ‘rapids’ piece.

Seems to have sorted itself?

Ah ha! Fixed it. The clientraw.txt station name was “Stanley-Rapids”. By inspecting the element i oculd see that it was coming from element 32 in clientraw.txt. By changing WD station name to “Stanley_Rapids”, it healed.

I found that often i type up a post with problem, only to find the solution myself in a few moments.

Regards to all,

Jim

Good catch! I know Brian recommends “no spaces” in station names because the clientraw file is space-separated, but of course clientraw #32 has a hyphen between station and time so the extra hyphen in station-name will have thrown it :wink:

Now i need to figure something out for my AQI sensor. I think i can add tag for it to testtags.txt and then figure out what to do with it on arrival in saratoga.
