Creating a Weather Web Page

* Click "Setup" in the menu bar.

* Click "Control panel,Setup FTP / Internet / ...".

* Click the tab labeled "Web File Upload Times".

Also, make sure you set up the FTP server details in the connections setup, and you turn on

the Main internet switch as well. Next you will want to select the times that your web page

is updated under Upload times.

If you want the files updated/uploaded every minute, then tick Update every minute. The

daily averages/extreme files are updated at the times specified, and you can set these to

update at a more convenient time. The actual averages/extreme files are updated at either

5 minutes past midnight (if you have the midnight reset time selected), or 5 minutes past

9am (if you have 9am reset time selected) (see under setup, reset times), regardless of the

time you set for when the files are updated to your web page. If you untick do daily uploads

of averages/extreme, then the files will neither be created or uploaded.

Further refinement of file creation time is possible: Click "Setup" in the menu bar; Click

"Customize the Internet File Creation FTP Schedule". Create your own custom page(s)

If you are unfamiliar with web page creation, you might want take a look at this site for a

good introduction. (Yeah, I know it says it's for kids, but it's all there, and well done too!)

Create a text file called wxlocal.html in the folder that contains Weather Display’s web files

(default is c:\wdisplay\webfiles). This will be your weather web page that Weather Display

will upload to your web site.

Create your HTML template using the special tags found on the "using Custom Tags" page.

Weather Display will replace these tags with the appropriate weather data (in the units you

have chosen) and then weather display will create a new file called wx.html and upload it,

leaving the original intact.

If you want to upload another file, then call it wxlocal2.html It will upload as wx2.html

(even if use normal file name selected). You can have up to 30 pages this way! You could

also use the customise internet and file creation setup to set times to update and times to

upload the wxlocal.html and wx.html file respectively, and you can also change the remote

filename there too (dont forget to set times to create and also set times to upload all other

files needed on the customise file creation and setup screen too)

Now go to the "Setup" menu. Click on "“Setup ftp / internet / ...". Select the tab labeled

"custom web page”.

Use the various checkboxes and buttons on this page to suit your needs. Click the red OFF

button to make it a Green ON button. Click the "Test" button to have WD create the

corresponding WX.htm files. If the resulting file is what you want, click OK.

You can refine the update and upload times using "Customize the Internet file creation / ftp

schedule" option in the Setup menu.

Here is a sample of how to use WD's custom tags:

%formateddate% at %time%

<tr><th>Temperature

<td>Current: %tempinusa%

<td>Min: %lowtempinusa% at %mintempt%

1 2 ... 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 ... 190 191
