Hi: I see from the manual, config files, and the changelog that davis forcasts from the console are supported. Yet, I can't seem to figure out how to get them on the web pages...the templates I've checked don't have any forecast on them, and the parameterlist doesn't indicate anything sounding like forecasts. How does one use the forecast? Thanks again! --Jim Back to top mteel Joined: 30 Jun 2005 Posts: 435 Location: Collinsville, TX Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2006 9:43 pm    Post subject: Run wviewconfig, when it asks if you want to enable forecast icons, enter "1" to enable it. From the User Manual Section 6.3: Quote: There is support for two new html tags - forecast rule and forecast icon. The new tags are !--forecastRule-- and !--forecastIcon-- (brackets omitted) respectively. The configuration file forecast.conf allows the user to define the icon files and text associated with the forecast rules. See the example forecast.conf file for details. The icon tag will be replaced by an image html construct pointing at the appropriate icon image file. The rule tag will be replaced by the corresponding text string defined in forecast.conf. Because these capabilities require 35 KB or more of memory (and I think the VP forecasts are hokey), they are disabled by default. From section 10: Quote: 10) forecast.conf - defines the icon files and forecast text strings to be associated with the VP forecast icon and forecast rule values. Icon image file examples are found in wview-x.y.z/bin/img and can be copied to your weather web site. If you change the defaults in forecast.conf, you will need to copy your new icon files to your weather web site. See wview-x.y.z/examples/html/parameterlist.txt to find all available html tags including the forecast icon and rule tags. If absent (or renamed), no forecast icon or rule text will be stored or substituted for the corresponding html tags. This is the default and the way to disable the forecast storage and processing. Requires manual editing by user. You will have to add the forecast HTML tags to your HTML template(s) manually - they are not included in the distro versions because, as the User Manual states, it is all disabled by default.
