What is in your gauges-ss folder?
That is where the htm page is being run from so there should be all the gauges files in there. Not sure why you have all the folders for the gauges sitting at the root level of your site when they should all be in the folder gauges-ss.

Having another look at the image, it shows a lot of files there that should be there. (All the .js files for example).

It is as if you uploaded the folder but it didn't retain the folder structure.

Hi Col

Then I tired what Jace said and uploaded a folder with everything in it that is download  and upzipped
Then I tried uploading all filies that were in the gauges-ss seperately I know WC in processing the realtimegaugesWC.text file and I checked it out on my web site with the correct reading from my WC gauges so the files you were seeing were the ones I uploaded seperately it my be the cheap web site I'm using looking change web hosting soon

Randall,
It wouldn't be anything to do with your hosting provider as ss-gauges is really basic and should be able to run anywhere.

What I would do (if I were you) is remove all the files in the root level that are not required. The ones I can see in the image that you can delete are:
The four RGraph files.
The gauges-ss folder and any files in it.
The steel folder and any files in it.
The RealTimegaugesWC.txt file.

I would need to see what was in the scripts folder before I would say you can remove it.
Same goes for the css folder and the images folder.

What you should then do is upload your steel folder again to the root level but make sure the folder structure stays intact.
You should end up with the root folder having a sub-directory called steel and all the gauges folders and files underneath it.

Let me know when you have done that and I will check it out for you again.

Col.

The problem lies in the scripts/gauges.js
Code: [Select]
            realTimeURL_WC     : '/subdirectory/gauges-ss/realtimegaugesWC.txt',   //*** WeatherCat Users: Change to your location of the JSON script generator ***
which specifies the wrong place for the realtimegaugesWC.txt file.  It should read
Code: [Select]
            realTimeURL_WC     : '/gauges-ss/realtimegaugesWC.txt',   //*** WeatherCat Users: Change to your location of the JSON script generator ***
and then should work properly as the data is in http://weatheronthehill.6te.net/gauges-ss/realtimegaugesWC.txt

It would also work in this case with
Code: [Select]
            realTimeURL_WC     : './realtimegaugesWC.txt',   //*** WeatherCat Users: Change to your location of the JSON script generator ***
as the spec, since the page itself is coming from the same directory (./gauges-ss/) as the realtimegaugesWC.txt file.

Totally agree with what you are saying Ken.
I was just trying to get the mess cleaned up so that there were not files all over the place where they are not required.

David,
just google for "brushed metal texture" - maybe you can find a texture that fits your needs!

Cheers,

Only one minor problem I've got, don't know if anybody else has seen this at all.

All the gauges except the wind rose update regularly and are accurate with the 'Cat. However the wind rose does not seem to update and the total wind run counter under reads.

I thought initially this was a browser problem as I had it in Firefox but not when I first opened the gauges page in Chrome, alas next day it was the same there too.

Wind wise it has been extremely calm for the last 3 days. probably only had a total wind run for about 20 miles.

My gauges.js settings are:

weatherProgram    : 3,                     
imgPathURL        : '/',             
oldGauges         : 'gauges.htm',           
counter           : 10,                   
gaugeMobileScaling: 0.85,                 
graphUpdateTime   : 15,                   
stationTimeout    : 3,                     
pageUpdateLimit   : 0,       (changed the page update limit from 20 minutes to 0, after 20 minutes the page stopped updating and when I reset using the remote sensor button the rose would not update at all, now the page is updating constantly I get some wind rose data.)             

Cheers

JC

Thanks Reinhard for the how-to instructions and the suggestions on sources for backgrounds. I've found several  textures that I am now playing with.

Nowait, if you were looking for my Saratoga template site it is:  http://www.weather.w6dsp.org
and the gauges are at: http://www.w6dsp.org/steel/gauges-ss-basic.htm

Regards,
David

Hi David,

You might want to use the wxssgauges.php page in your template .. I'll need to put that in the WCT-plugin.zip distribution, but it is attached here.  Just change the $ssgDir variable to where you have the gauges installed and it should work out-of-the-box.

Best regards,
Ken

p.s. I added your site to the list of template sites too :)

Randall,
It is a shortcoming of WeatherCat that you cannot upload an additional file to a different folder to your custom web FTP settings.

If you have your FTP setting uploading your custom web to the root level of your website, then you need to make a change to the gauges.js file so that it can find the realtimegaugesWC.txt file.

Edit the gauges.js file and change the line where it specifies the reaTimeURL_WC to read as follows:
Code: [Select]
realTimeURL_WC     : '/realtimegaugesWC.txt',

Then upload the gauges.js file replacing the one you have there already.

Col.

Col,
I do see that you have changed the background color of the gauges themselves to a background image - can you tell me how to? I want to change the background to the pattern attached in this post.

Cheers,
Reinhard
