This is what I have added to skin.config
[[ToDate]] # Reports that show statistics "to date", such as day-to-date, # week-to-date, month-to-date, etc. [[[day]]] template = index.html.tmpl [[[temp.txt]]] # Report that makes current outTemp availibal to other program encoding = strict_ascii template = temp.txt.tmpl [[[week]]] template = week.html.tmpl [[[month]]] template = month.html.tmpl [[[year]]] template = year.html.tmpl Does the temp.txt.tmpl file require special formatting? Right now this is what it contains: $current.outTemp THANKS!!!
