WeatherCat > WeatherCat Feature Requests
Main Page to show timestamps
DeputyDawg:
I posted a thread back in june:
http://athena.trixology.com/index.php?topic=2493.0
I happen to check back and realized I didn't post my "suggestion" here.
What I would like to see is on my mac monitor the ability not only to see live data (as wcat does) but the timestamps. For me I like seeing/knowing when the highs and lows occurred.
Not a programmer so going into the code (SQL or something else) is not feasible nor easy for me.
Once again I hate to compare Wcat to Weatherdisplay. Attached is a screen shot from WD/Wcat. While I admit that screen is crowded, the data does fit (with timestamps). I like the graphs on the right but could live without them (as long as I can get them elsewhere which I believe Wcat does).
So my suggestion would be for the main Wcat page to show the timestamps on the main page real time.
Perhaps hiding the calendar and/or clock (or making those a pulldown) would help save room. Just thinking outloud
Doesn't hurt to ask....
Hugh Whalen:
I too, would like to see the timestamps, if possible.
Also, I would like to be able to add other variables to Controller. Again, if possible.

If you can create a simple spreadsheet (Numbers is probably installed on your Mac), you can duplicate it in a table in html and have it displaying 24/7/365 on your desktop. Just because it's "html" doesn't mean it must be on the "web". Any web browser will effortlessly display pretty mush any text file on your drive, be it html, text, pdf or even a jpeg, tif, png image. "html" is nothing more than a plain text file (just like you are using to write a post here) you can even create with TextEdit.app. My "home page" is exactly that; an html file on my hard drive. No web site needed. It's so easy, they teach kids in grade school to do it! 8) You really can do this! ThU5:-)
WC is already creating the data and the time stamps for you, at least for the Maximum/Minimum values for each day/week/month/year/millennium. The 'tags' are listed in the Manual. You will probably have to do without the calendar and clock, but you also already have that info on your Menu Bar, anyway. ;)

Wait so are you saying the main "wcat" page is an HTML page and not an "app" If so then that helps and answers questions. But without that knowledge I hope my request makes more sense now. I assumed it was a stagnant app vs. HTML that can be configured.
I will check out the manual... Thanks

Btw I should add i'm not good with programming and only basic HTML knowledge
