SteelSeries - 1.6.x Discussion

You have nothing here:

http://www.meteocarmignano.it/customclientraw.txt

I’ll leave it to others to tell you how to set up WD…

Alessandro,

You have to put the customclientrawlocal.txt in the webfiles folder of WD!

Check my website for the setup of WD with customclientraw.

Thanks MArk and Jacco,
i think it’s ok now… :slight_smile:
Link: http://www.meteocarmignano.it/gauges-ssT-it.htm
I’ve also done the italian translation part in language.js and gauge-ssT-it.htm.
Only two issues.
Like the image below, there isn’t any word on the #location, #latitude, #longitude, #altitude tags.
Should i put my data into gauge-ssT-it.htm?
Second.
Is it possibile to del the cumulus menu below the gauge page?

Regards,

Alessandro


Mark,

Your work is way advanced for my skills. I will check back and look for that example and see if I can figure out how to add it.

Thanks

That it just a sort of demopage, you can have the gauges in any page you want in every order you like.
The tags are working tags for Cumulus i think, they don’t work in WD, or you can just fill in the fields.

Hi guys,
here is my gauges page: http://www.meteocarmignano.it/wxsteelgauges.php :smiley:
I’ve also attached the italian translation files.

I’ve fixed some w3x validation errors but it still remains 19 about canvas function: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.meteocarmignano.it%2Fwxsteelgauges.php
Any ideas?

Thanks again to all,

Alessandro

Alessandro, you are trying to validate the page as XHTML, but the page is designed as HTML5. Some people have changed their page templates to serve the gauges page as HTML5 and the other pages as XHTML. What they have done I do not know, but perhaps some one can contribute the solution to this?

I had to copy 5 files, Settings.php, top.php, header.pht, menubar.php, and footer.php, all to gauges-Settings.php, gauges-top.php, etc. I worked on the validation from the top down and found that the only template file that didn’t need to be changed on my US distribution was common.php. I had to disable the ajax-gizmo because of a null string it called in violation of html5 and I made various other changes in the supporting/configuration code files mentioned above when W3C complained. You may not find, Alessandro, that you need to modify so many files in order to validate, but that was my experience. Others have pointed out that they changed the coding from UTF-8 to something compatible with html 1.0 transitional, but my skills aren’t nearly so sophisticated. Hence the brute force approach.

Hope this helps. I was left with only a warning that W3C html5 validation is presently experimental, which isn’t all that upsetting.

Not a problem, Mark. Whenever you get ‘a minute’! :roll:

Thanks.

John, take a look at the latest radar/windrose code on the other thread - hopefully it should be clearer from that what you have to do?

I have radar3 now. Will let you know.

Thanks, Mark!

You I just made another post - you need to remove a line in radar3.

Shouldn’t the gauges work OK in IE9? I was under the impression it supported HTML5,
however, I can’t load them with my copy of IE9; I get the “use a modern browser” page
when I try. I’ve tried with comparability mode on and off. Is it a setting in my browser or
in my gauge set up files? Firefox and Chrome both load it just fine.

Thanks.

It should work in IE9, but your page is forcing IE9 into ‘quirks’ mode in order to display it.
The main thing for me is your page is XMLNS and the gauges are HTML5 so you are mixing standards on the one page.
Quite why IE9 is going into quirks mode I don’t know.

Edit: Yes I do - I think!
You have “” as the first line the page, if there is a comment before the tag on a page, IE will switch into quirks mode. Move that comment and make the html tag the first thing in the file and try again.
Also you have no at the start of the file either?

Hi Mark, I've another question. Like the image below, i don't manage to fix the wrong character near the temp unit.....what can i do? Second thing. I've set the code to show the trend graphs like this: Code: [Select]

var g_imgPathURL = “./flashgraphs/”; //*** Change this to the relative path for your ‘Trend’ graph images

but i don’t see anything if i override the gauges with my mouse.

Please, any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Alessandro


Alessandro, I think you have a character set mismatch. Your page is declared as “charset=ISO-8859-1” but the steelseries scripts are using UTF-8.

Again you are also mixing HTML standards, your page is declared as xhtml but the gauges are coded to HTML5. The page will not w3c validate as it stands.

Haven’t I read this doesn’t work with flashgraph.
Here is a thread how to set up with jpgraph and wxgraph.

Hope this helps.

I have just started to attempt to get the steel dials working but have come across a query which is probably obvious to most of you here.

All LCD numbers are as of my WD output but the barometer dial isn’t showing the correct scale. Current mb is 1037.00 but the scale momentarily shows correct scale (I think) then jumps to
-10 to 1040 ish so the pointer is nearly off scale. You need to look at the url for a clearer sight of what I have.
See http://www.bobhewitt.co.uk/pictures/WeatherDisplay/SteelSeries/gauges-ssT.htm
Lots of work still needed I know, but I would like to get this sorted before I carry on.

Using the current build WD dated 8th March, both install and then zip file. Using Steel Series 1.6.5 (1.6.4 is giving the same result).

The baro gauge derives it’s scale min/max from your all-time pressure records - check for a corrupt value for your all time minimum pressure.

Hi

Thank you very much for this great script.

I have managed to add a snowgauge (In Danish “Sne” and watertemperature (In Danish “Vandtemperatur”) to the gauges.js script and its working.
(The watertemperature is comming from a script on my site and not thru the customclientraw.txt file.)

One question:

Its it possible to change the raingauge to a liniear vertical gauge?

Best regards,

Henrik
