WSWIN - Which files are needed
This document is based on version 2.97.13 of WSWIN available when writing this WiKi part.
More information
WSWIN has an on-line manual at http://www.pc-wetterstation.de/wswinen.pdf
The website is at http://www.pc-wetterstation.de/en1index.html
And there is also a forum: http://www.pc-wetterstation.de/en6index.html
Assumptions about locations of data
| what | where |
|---|---|
| WSWIN is installed in: | C:\wswin |
| Files to be uploaded are stored then in: | C:\wswin\ |
| Default upload folder on your webserver: www.your-web-site.com/ | weather27/uploadWS/ |
Which files are needed
| file to be used for | WSWIN name | where to find | template name | upload frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today actual and history min max values | tags.ws.txt | scriptWS/ folder | uploaded as tagsws.txt | 5 minutes |
| Yesterday values | n/a | generated by cron-job | tagsydayWS.txt | at 23:45 |
| Realtime weather-data values | wswin_nrt.txt | scriptWS/ folder | clientraw.txt | every minute |
| ws_clientrawhour.txt | clientrawhour.txt | wswin setting | ||
| ws_clientrawextra.txt | clientrawextra.txt | |||
| ws_clientrawdaily.txt | clientrawdaily.txt |
control file
In the folder scriptWS/ you fibnd the important control file wswin_customfiles.cfg. You should check this first and maybe read the documentation if this kind of upload-control is new to you.
Here you find only basic information on the setup of WSWIN. Please study the documentation and /or ask your questions on the WSWIN specific parts of the forum.
Instruct WSWIN to generate / upload "custom" files
Before we can anything else we have to check if wswin is instructed to process“custom files”.
There are three settings to check in WSWIN:
- is a target folder specified to contain the files, normaly it is c:\wswin\html
- Activate the processing of customized html files
- set the time between processing to zero (every standard time) or 5 minutes.
Let wswin process our realtime data file
First we have to check if wswin knows that it has to process realtime files.
Go to wswin menu ⇒ Control (UK) or Sturing (Dutch) ⇒ Template/… ⇒ tab NearRealTime
Check box next to Near Real Time File The file-name should be also checked automatically
We now have to check if there is already a wswin-nrt.txt file present. If so we can add ours with a different name or replace the current file.
Why replace? Often the wswin-nrt.txt file is a file to produce a clientraw.txt file. The one you downloaded is the same but includes the necessary tags for WD-live version 6.09.
Move the realtime file to the wswin folder
Download using your FTP program th4 4 files from the scriptWS/ folder (or use the ones in the template download, if it is still on your PC). Move these files to the C:\wswin\ folder, if that is the folder your wswin program is runbnig from.
- tags.ws.txt
- wswin_nrt.txt
- ws_clientrawhour.txt
- ws_clientrawextra.txt
- ws_clientrawdaily.txt
check the custom configuration file
Check if you already have a wswin_customfiles.cfg in your C:\wswin\ folder.
Yes, there is one
you now have to compare the lines 2 to 5 from the template version (in the scriptsWS/ folder) with your own version and add the missing lines. At least 1 line should be added as tags.ws.txt can not be there already.
[custom.txt] #=4 1=ws_clientrawextra.txt 2=ws_clientrawdaily.txt 3=ws_clientrawhour.txt 4=tags.ws.txt [wap.txt] . . . shortened . . .
No, there is no wswin_customfiles.cfg in C:\wswin\
Copy the file from scriptsWS/ to C:\wswin\ and WSWIN will generate the files from now on.
Create a cronjob
There are no “yesterday' values registred by WSWIN. So to get those values a small script should be run every day around 23.45 but before 00:00
The name of that script www.yourwebsite.com/weather27/yesterday.php
The easiest way to run that script is to use cron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron
You can either use your providers facilities if the support specifying cronjobs
Or you could use your first = free cron job at https://www.cronjob.de/
