Thanks for the quick reply. I am using SSL on my site. Do I need to change anything when I upgrade to 2.6.4 or just make my usual edits?

If you are already using SSL with 2.6.3 and have it working there is no need to update, I'd save the effort and wait for a release that has functional changes/fixes.

Ok. Thanks mate. I'll sit tight and wait (with Reinhard) for you to implement the altimeter look to the cloud base gauge.  ;D

By the way, I had a look at your Astro website this morning. A very interesting read.

I'm afraid my astro site hasn't been updated in a very long time.

If you want to make your code available I can take a look.

I take a look at the code for some hours but I really don't dare to write any line to fit to my goal - too heavy for me.  :-[

Mark:

I guess I haven't been paying attention, but just noticed for the first time, a yellow (greenish) band on the Solar Radiation gauge. I know the red band is the current solar radiation range, but what does the yellow band represent? Most of the time when I look at the gauge there is no yellow band. See attached.

Hello Blick,
maybe I can help:
Quote
2.6.2
  * Updated gauges.js
    - Solar gauge: Fixed the "over theoretical" sector not displaying correctly above the default gauge max scale value.
    - Solar gauge: Added sector to indicate 'sun is shining'.
    - Wind gauge: Added animation to rescaling.
    - UV gauge: Added rescaling back to default and animation.
    - Rain gauge: Added rescaling back to default.
So it seems that when the needle arrives this sector the LED "sunshine" begins to glow.
Reinhard

Ah! So once again you have demonstrated that it is a good idea to review the documentation. Thanks Reinhard.

Sorry, been a bit busy with paid work (it sometimes gets in the way of *real* work  ;) ).
But, spot on, it indicates the current threshold above which it is deemed that the sun is shining. It is crude, but the best we can do without a true sunshine detector, and normally it is fairly accurate.

Mark:

I am using version 2.6.3 and trying to add a logo to the gauges. I started by editing gauges.js but all I did was delete the comment codes as follows:

Code: [Select]
            // Logo images are used to 'personalise' the gauge backgrounds
            // To add a logo to a gauge, add the parameter:
                params.customLayer = _imgBackground;
            // to the corresponding drawXxxx() function below.
            //
            // These are for demo only, to add them remove the comments around the following lines, and
            // the _imgBackground definition line above...
           
            _imgBackground = document.createElement('img');                 // small logo
            $(_imgBackground).attr('src', config.imgPathURL + 'logoSmall.png');
           
            // End of logo images

I also uncommented line 191 as follows:

Code: [Select]
         _imgBackground,    // Uncomment if using a background image on the gauges */
The result was that none of the gauges displayed. Are the blank lines a problem? The logoSmall.png is in the same folder as the background image I am using and it displays properly. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hmm, it's been a long time since I looked at that featurette - though I did see a site using it recently so presumably it can be made to work!

Could you put up a test page for me with your modded code and I'll have a debug?...

Mark:

Thanks so much for your willingness to take a look. I have a test page, although because WeatherCat uploads the data to only one folder (and that is the folder for my live gauges) the data for the test page is not current, but you should be able to see that the gauges do not display when I attempt to add the log to the gauge.

https://timberlakesutah.com/weather-test-page/

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks, well it still works!

You have uncommented an example at line 382, add the comment characters back in there.
Code: [Select]
            //    params.customLayer = _imgBackground;
Then at each singleXxxxx() gauge definition where you want the image to appear, add the line...
Code: [Select]
params.customLayer = _imgBackground;to the rest of the parameters.

Line 738 in the temperature gauge - singleTemp() already has an example commented out, just remove the comment from this gauge to test the feature, you can do others later.

You should then see something like this...
