Re: [weewx-user] Re: Adding archive data to daily report

[Thomas Carlin]

Hey Martin,
Thank you for your interest!  I don't know if I mentioned it here, but even
cooler than that IMHO, the color scale on all the charts is dynamic, and
will adjust as the range does. The font colors also change dynamically for
better visibility.

For the record, I am not a python programmer by any means, everything I
know is self inflicted, and I am nearly positive that there is a better way
to do everything that I have done here, which is why I haven't submitted
these changes to GitHub for peer analysis, and integration.  Working with
someone else's code and modifying it to work for your needs is difficult,
and not always effective.  When I have time in the next few days, I will
try to pull the code off my machine and post it, with some basic direction,
but the support that I provide will be limited.  If anyone from FuzzyArcher
sees this, I would be happy to submit it to GitHub.  I would hesitate to
say that this is a 'finished' product, but it works for my needs.  Thoughts
and recommendations are welcome!

Hello Thomas, 
I want to create my own skin for Weewx. My search on how to display 
historical data on the websites led me to 
https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer and 
https://github.com/weatherstorm/Sofaskin-CW9009. I also found this thread. 
Thanks 
for the detailed explanations.
Now I took some code from both Github projects and was able to integrate 
the historical tables in my site using the "historygenerator.py". I'm able 
to change HTML and CSS configurations, but I'm not good at programming 
Python.
On your wonderful page you have a monthly summary on the right side of the 
tables and an annual overview below each table. Can you please show me how 
you've extended the historygenerator.py to create the Monthly Summary 
column and the Annual Summary row?

thank you very much
Best regards
Martin

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Adding archive data to daily report

Hi Chris,
Sorry it took so long, I started a new job a few weeks ago, and hobbies 
have taken a back seat!  Let me start by saying that all the information, 
and better descriptions of what is happening can be found in the Weewx 
Customization Guide that TK and the guys have put together.  
http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm

All of the back end is contained in one file, On my system 
\usr\share\weewx\user\ArchiveSearch.py  Look at Defining New Tags 
 in the docs, the 
similarities should be immediately apparent.  This then get's included in 
the search list extensions in skin.conf.  You can then include your new 
tags in your *.tmpl files, to be generated each time the generator runs. 

First the ArchiveSearch.py:  I removed most of the comments that are in the 
documentation for the sake of brevity.  It is worth noting that you may 
need to install python relativedelta on your system for this to work.

*import datetime*
*import time*
*from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta*

*from weewx.cheetahgenerator import SearchList*
*from weewx.tags import TimespanBinder*
*from weeutil.weeutil import TimeSpan*
*from weeutil.weeutil import archiveDaySpan*
*from weeutil.weeutil import archiveWeekSpan*
*from weeutil.weeutil import archiveMonthSpan*
*from weeutil.weeutil import archiveYearSpan*

*class ArchiveSearch(SearchList):  
   # 1*
*"""My search list extension"""*

*def __init__(self, generator):
   # 2*
*SearchList.__init__(self, generator)*

*def get_extension_list(self, timespan, db_lookup):
   # 3*
*"""Returns a search list extension with two additions.*

*Parameters:*
*  timespan: An instance of weeutil.weeutil.TimeSpan. This will*
*hold the start and stop times of the domain of *
*valid times.*

*  db_lookup: This is a function that, given a data binding*
* as its only parameter, will return a database manager*
* object.*


*"""*
*# First, create TimespanBinder object for all time. This one is 
easy*
*# because the object timespan already holds all valid times to be*
*# used in the report.*
*all_time = TimespanBinder(timespan, *
*   db_lookup,*
*   formatter=self.generator.formatter,*
*   converter=self.generator.converter,*
*  context="month")   # 4*

*# Now get a TimespanBinder object for the last seven days. This 
one we*
*# will have to calculate. First, calculate the time at midnight, 
seven*
*# days ago. The variable week_dt will be an instance of 
datetime.date.*
*today_last_year_dt = datetime.date.fromtimestamp(timespan.stop) - 
relativedelta(years=1)*

*# Convert it to unix epoch time:*
*today_last_year_ts = time.mktime(today_last_year_dt.timetuple())  
 # 6*



*today_last_year_time_span = archiveDaySpan(today_last_year_ts)*
*# Form a TimespanBinder object, using the time span we just*
*# calculated:*
*today_last_year= TimespanBinder(today_last_year_time_span,*
* db_lookup,*
*
 formatter=self.generator.formatter,*
*
 converter=self.generator.converter,*
* context="month") # 7*
*#Assembles this week last year*
*week_last_year_time_span = archiveWeekSpan(today_last_year_ts)*
*# Form a TimespanBinder object, using the time span we just*
*# calculated:*
*week_last_year= TimespanBinder(week_last_year_time_span,*
* db_lookup,*
*
 formatter=self.generator.formatter,*
*
 converter=self.generator.converter,*
* context="month") # 7*


*#Assembles this month last year.*
*month_last_year_time_span = archiveMonthSpan(today_last_year_ts)*
*# Form a TimespanBinder object, using the time span we just*
*# calculated:*
*month_last_year= TimespanBinder(month_last_year_time_span,*
* db_lookup,*
*
 formatter=self.generator.formatter,*
*
 converter=self.generator.converter,*
* context="month") # 7*

*#Assembles last year.*
*last_year_time_span = archiveYearSpan(today_last_year_ts)*

The history cards are totally cool! Would love to see how you made them. 
Thanks for this!

Hi Thomas! 

This is a great addition, love how you presented it on your website too.

Do you have the extensions you made available to download anywhere?

Thanks!
Chris

The initializer for the TimespanBinder object takes an argument 'context',
which is what formatting to use for time. The default is "current". Other
options are "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year", and "rainyear". Choose
one of those, depending on whether you are displaying an aggregate over a
day, week, etc.
