It looks like you are using an older version of Seasons (before it was parameterized). The variable $archive[1] is the result of evaluating $day, which makes it an instance of weewx.tags.TimespanBinder, built using default values in the initializer. At this point, it's too late to ask it to be built using a custom value for data_binding.
What to do? You could introduce a new set of timespans, this time including your custom binding. It would look like (NOT TESTED): #set $archive_data = [('day', $day, $day(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('week', $week, $week(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('month', $month, $month(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('year', $year, $year(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('rainyear', $rainyear, $rainyear(data_binding='rpi24-binding'))] then use that when necessary: <td class="data new_row hilo_$archive[0]"> <span title="$archive[1].rainRate.maxtime"> $archive[2].rainRate.max.format(add_label=False)</span> </td> Another approach would be to update to the parameterized version of Seasons, which does its evaluation of TimespanBinder later, allowing it to be modified in a more straightforward way: <td class="data new_row hilo_$timespan"> <span title="$getVar('%s.%s' % ($timespan, $x)).maxtime"> $getVar('%s.%s(data_binding='rpi24-binding')' % ($timespan, $x)).max.format(add_label=False)</span> </td> -tk On Tue, Jul 5, 2022 at 2:57 PM 'Rainer Lang' via weewx-user < weewx-user@googlegroups.com> wrote: > After some more digging I have advanced: > > my 2nd issue, that the monthly and weekly data is not shown seems to be > solved: > while in the imagegenerator the week/month means 7 days back and 30 days > back from the current date, > $week and $month seem to mean the calender week and calender month - a few > tests with fake rain data in the database confirmed that > > remains the issue how to show the values from the remote database in the > High/Low portion of the High/Low table > > at http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Using_multiple_bindings > the example goes: > > <table> > <tr> > <td class="stats_label">Inside Temperature, Vantage</td> > <td class="stats_data">$current.inTemp</td> > </tr> > <tr> > <td class="stats_label">Inside Temperature, WMR100</td> > <td > class="stats_data">$latest*($data_binding='wmr100_binding')*.inTemp</td> > </tr> > </table> > > > this translated into my hilo.inc code > <tr> > <td class="label">$obs.label.rain</td> > #for $archive in $archive_data > <td class="data new_row hilo_$archive[0]"> > $archive[1].rain.sum.format(add_label=False)</td> > #end for > <td class="units">$unit.label.rain</td> > </tr> > <tr> > <td class="label">$obs.label.rainRate</td> > #for $archive in $archive_data > <td class="data new_row hilo_$archive[0]"> > <span title="$archive[1].rainRate.maxtime"> > $archive[1].rainRate.max.format(add_label=False)</span> > </td> > #end for > <td class="units">$unit.label.rainRate</td> > </tr> > > should in my understanding then be: > > <td class="data new_row hilo_$archive[0]"> > $archive[1]*($data_binding='rpi24-binding')* > .rain.sum.format(add_label=False)</td> > resp. > > <td class="data new_row hilo_$archive[0]"> > <span title="$archive[1].rainRate.maxtime"> > $archive[1]*($data_binding='rpi24-binding')*. > rainRate.max.format(add_label=False)</span> > </td> > > where "rpi24-binding" is my database binding of the remote database > > however, this produces a Cheetah Syntax error > > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > Evaluation of template /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/index.html.tmpl failed with > exception '<class 'SyntaxError'>' > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** Ignoring template /etc/weewx/skins/Seasons/index.html.tmpl > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** Reason: keyword can't be an expression (<string>, line 1) > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** Traceback (most recent call last): > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/cheetahgenerator.py", line 348, in > generate > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** unicode_string = compiled_template.respond() > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File > "cheetah__etc_weewx_skins_Seasons_index_html_tmpl_1657056374_3328836_74907.py", > line 287, in respond > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Cheetah/Template.py", line > 1707, in _handleCheetahInclude > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** self._CHEETAH__cheetahIncludes[_includeID].respond(trans) > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File > "cheetah__etc_weewx_skins_Seasons_hilo_inc_1657056374_7626543_30080.py", > line 1744, in respond > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File > "cheetah__etc_weewx_skins_Seasons_hilo_inc_1657056374_7626543_30080.py", > line 386, in __errorCatcher46 > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** File "<string>", line 1 > Jul 5 23:26:15 raspberrypi weewx[31166] ERROR weewx.cheetahgenerator: > **** SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression > > what am I missing ??
