Tags & Unit problems etc.

Software Weather Display for Windows
1

I’m in the process of trying to set up a number of pages giving more data than usual for an ordinary weather site, so that techies can access them. I’ve run into a few problems. See http://www.cypenv.org/weather/wx3.html (note that this is not yet automatically uploaded).

  1. I uploaded autoscaletemphum.gif and found it illegible



Is there any way to change the colours?

  1. Here is my tag table:



Some of the tags include value & units, some of them values only. I’ve highlighted in yellow where I’ve added units. This is inconsistent, especially if you look at the last three tags in the RH column. It is a small detail but slightly aggrannoying.

I’ve highlighted in pink %tempchangelasthourmetric%; this works fine but %tempchangelasthour%, which is also in the list, does not.

  1. Here is how it uploads in Firefox, set for UTF-8 encoding:



Yellow underlining: the degree symbol does not reproduce correctly as ’

Can’t help with the rest though :frowning:

you set the auto scale graph colour under control panel, colour setup, auto scale graphs

Sorry, Brian, I wasn’t explicit; I was rushed when I wrote above. It doesn’t work for me!

If I go CP/Colours/Autoscale graphs, the only buttons that react are the Background From/To, which come up with a choice of colours. but these don’t do anything when I choose 2 colours. All the other buttons to the left are frozen solid in their unpushed state.

If I go View/Auto-scale Graphs, it displays 2 graphs/ If I then click Set colours, it takes me to the same Colours choice. If I press tab Autoscale graphs, it is as before, except that if I try to change the ‘To’ background, WD exits altogether.

Same here.

If I go View/Auto-scale Graphs, it displays 2 graphs/ If I then click Set colours, it takes me to the same Colours choice. If I press tab Autoscale graphs, it is as before, except that if I try to change the 'To' background, WD exits altogether.

Going this route mine worked ok. I clicked on set colors and then selected the autoscale tab and I was able to change colors for the graph and set the gradiant from/to color.

The second route worked today after a fresh reboot. Thanks!

Have new problem:


I added %maxheatyest%

Sorry, more problems:

This is part of my web-authoring page (in MS Expression Web v. 4.0):



Note that windrose.gif correctly shows we are at day 3 of the month.

This is how the above is displayed at http://www.cypenv.org/weather/wx4.html:



Note that we are now mysteriously at day 19 of the month and that the tag interprets the unit/direction as m/ instead of m/s WSW

ALSO, here is how the windrose is shown on my computer and on the web. Should they not be identical (other than size)???

I’m doing my nut over these problems and am beginning to wonder whether it worth the hassle to provide my viewers with anything other than basic data and no graphics.

I scream with anguish! From 1 January to 3 June, I now count about 17,318 hours, instead of the ~3700 I would have expected. How? Go to http://www.cypenv.org/weather/wx4.html and scroll down to the wind energy graphic!

the problem with the missing units is that you have set to not show units, and so WD is trying to delete the units that are there, but when m/s used its not deleting enough

for the month to date info, not thats its actually the last 31 days

I would love to have this as the only thing in my life to get worried about
