I would like to thank everyone for their incredible work on this. I recently had a problem on my webhost, so I reinstalled from scratch, and it was a breeze! I have no fear of editing the php (I do a lot for my day job) but this was so convenient!
I'm still poking around and tweaking a lot of bits, the new site is at http://weather.hoke.org/station/ (but I used symlinks to keep the old /weather2/ URL valid).
Now to play around wiht different graphs and see if I can tweak the steelgauges a bit
Thanks again !

Thanks for your nice remarks about the Leuven-Template.
Before you start to
tweak the steelgauges and spend to much time with it, here is the first version of the next release gauges. Works also inside release 2.8.
All scripts are checked and made ready for a long list of changes asked by the template users. This provisional version has
1. A clock gauge which should display the web-server time inside the header or on the start-page.
2. A separate clock demo script, if one wants a clock in the side-area.
3. Easier selecting which gauge should be displayed and how much on 1 line. Calculation of the number of rows/number of gauges is done inside the script.
Some of the upcoming changes:
1. Ajax support in the same way as the dashboard, no extra Steelseries file to download. Values on dashboard and gauges always the same.
2. Standalone gauges, for use on the dashboard
3. Multiple gauges for temp and humidity for display of multiple temps (outside, glasshouse1, glasshouse2, water) next to each other
4. A configuration tool to select the framedesign, colors and so on
But the most often asked extension: Your own set of colors to make "flat" gauges which blend in the background . Or have gauges with the same colours (also dynamically) as the rest of the website. "
I want on my site GREEN gauges, and is should be my-green. "
In use at my production site
http://www.weerstation-wilsele.be/ and at some Dutch-user sites. No problems encountered.
Installation:
1. Make a copy/backup of the weather??/gauges/ folder and wsHeader3.php script. (a simple rename will do)
2. Unzip attachement and
3. Upload the contents of the gauges2.9-1 folder to your weather??/ folder replacing the current gauges/ folder and header script.
Tweak this 2.9 version and if you got improvements, let me know.
There will be two or three new gauges folders before roll-out of template release 2.9 in June next year.
