Steel Gauges

[Blicj11]

Mark has made some nice improvements, Steve.

[Blicj11]

I have now updated the Wiki for the most recent version of Mark Crossley's SteelSeries Gauges (2.6.3).

Generally, if you are using a template, this does not apply to your website if the developer has provided you with that template's version of the Gauges. However, if you are using Edouard's SeaMonkey template, it is time to put some pressure on him to leave the Buick in the garage for 24 hours and install these ultra-cool gauges on his website so he will have something about which to be excited other than how hot and dry it is in California.

Have fun.

Hopefully it has reached the stage now where most changes are "tweaks" rather than big fixes or new features. Though there are bugs reported occasionally that make you think "How did I miss that?!" (probably along with everyone else too )

Mark, we appreciate your time and effort on this. You have been great. Reinhard and I are still hoping that your have the altimeter skin on your some-day-to-do list for the cloud base gauge. 

[mcrossley]

For the altimeter you will need to use the "full fat" version of the SteelSeries library and substitute that for the lite version I supply with the weather gauges.

Then a cut'n'paste of the code from my page, you should just need the function "singleCloudBase = (function () {...})()" from my version of the gauges script.

Now I may write it up for you one day....

Please Mark, can you turn on some light in my brain? 

Where can i find the full fat library - your first link (SteelSeries library) link takes me to your scripts. And if I can finally find the library, just replace it or add it to the webserver stuff?

Another question to Mark (maybe you can find some spare time to answer, not urgent):

Is it possible to add a third (or more) parameter(s) to the temperature gauge: Outdoor, Indoor, T1 (T2, T3, ...)? For the txt file it should be no problem to feed the script with additional parameters.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I missed this post for some reason - if you are still looking, it can be found at https://github.com/HanSolo/SteelSeries-Canvas

Almost anything is possible given enough time and effort 
I'd change the "if (sel === 'out'){}else{}" construct in singleTemp().update() to a switch() statement with a case for each temperature type.
Also change the

Code: [Select]

                    if (cache.selected === 'out') {
                        cache.areas = [steelseries.Section(+cache.low, +cache.high, gaugeGlobals.minMaxArea)];
                    } else {
                        cache.areas = [];
                    }
to a switch() as well.

Add the additional options to the HTML.

Thanks for the hints, Mark - much appreciated! I will see what I am able to do...

Actually, just take a look at the code in "singleDew", that has the framework you need in place already!

Coming sunday there is bad weather predicted - nice forecast for home working...

Ok, I have to say that I failed miserably in adding a third option to the temperature gauge.   
Thanks Mark for updating the scripts to 2.6.4 - much appreciated! You *may* also update the readme.txt headline to 2.6.4. 
Thanks again!

[mcrossley]

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

2.6.4 - Readme updated! Gosh! first released 2011 - about time I did something new!

Mark:

What changed from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4?

Thanks.

Nothing functional, I just changed any internal html links to be http/https friendly as quite a few people (including me) are enabling SSL on their sites.
