Re: [weewx-user] Looking for guidance on how to modify the Current Conditions section of the 'main page' of WeeWx

[D R]

Thank you for the replies on my question.  I think I have figured it out 
and now have a better understanding of how things work.



It is not always as one thinks it is!

Again, thank you for the replies and guidance.

Sorry – my post was supposed to be connected to an earlier post. Wasn’t 
supposed to be related to this.

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing the connection to adding new types to HTML pages. 
Am I missing something? Is a new type involved?

Instead of trying to fix the errors I went the hard way and upgraded to the

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bme280

 

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15

 

I then modified the BCRobotics-test-app.py to run under Python3 and the

Tested the program and it works!

 

I have attached the modified program.

 

I need to modify the driver to work the same as the updated code but not sure 
how to do that. Can I just substitute the same modifications that I made to the 
test program?

So, if you wanted to add the current conditions for a new type, say something 
named 'myobs', to the bottom of the list of observations, you would add the 
highlighted lines

 

...

#if $day.extraTemp3.has_data
  
$obs.label.extraTemp3
$current.extraTemp3
  
#end if

  

My new observation

$current.myobs

  

  

 

 

This assumes, of course, that the type 'myobs' exists in the database and/or 
the archive record.

I've looked at the Standard report, and the skins.conf there, and

Can someone give me a hint as to what I'm missing to find the correct file?

Re: [weewx-user] Looking for guidance on how to modify the Current Conditions section of the 'main page' of WeeWx

[Tom Keffer]

The Cheetah template for "Current Conditions" is the file
/etc/weewx/skins/Seasons.current.inc. When the processing of templates
occurs, it will get "included" into index.html.tmpl.

So, if you wanted to add the current conditions for a new type, say
something named 'myobs', to the bottom of the list of observations, you
would add the highlighted lines

...
#if $day.extraTemp3.has_data
  
$obs.label.extraTemp3
$current.extraTemp3
  
#end if
  
My new observation
$current.myobs
  

  


This assumes, of course, that the type 'myobs' exists in the database
and/or the archive record.
