+ | ===== Weathercat program setup ===== | ||
+ | ==== More information ==== | ||
+ | WeatherCat has an extensive WiKi which you should open now . | ||
+ | The WiKi: http://wiki.trixology.com/index.php/Main_Page | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is also a forum at: http://athena.trixology.com/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Which files are needed ==== | ||
+ | for all examples we use the standard upload folder at your webserver:\\ %%www.your-web-site.com/%%**weather28/uploadWC/** | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^file to be used for ^WeatherCat name ^Template file name ^where to get that file ^upload frequency ^ | ||
+ | |**Weather-data values for all pages of the template** |tags.wc.txt|tags.wc.txt |scriptsWC/ |5 minutes | | ||
+ | |**Realtime weather-data values ** |realtime.wc.txt|realtime.wc.txt |scriptsWC/ |every 1 minute | | ||
+ | |** Graphs** |graphs.htx|multiple |scriptsWC/ |Every hour? | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== File upload settings ==== | ||
+ | <WRAP alert 100%>Here you find only basic information on the setup of WeatherCat. Please study the documentation and /or ask your questions on the VWS specific parts of the forum.</WRAP> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now we are going to instruct WeatherCat to upload the files we need for the template. | ||
+ | The process of uploading the needed files have a few small steps. | ||
+ | This is the complete list for those users who are not already uploading weatherCat files to their webserver. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Download the files with the tags from **weather28/scriptsWC/** | ||
+ | - Create a separate folder on a easy to acces place (f.i. on your desktop) with the name "tagFiles". | ||
+ | - Create a separate folder on a easy to acces place (f.i. on your desktop) with the name "processedFiles". | ||
+ | - Specify the ftp settings and test if the target website folder ( default: weather28/uploadWC/ ) can be reached | ||
+ | - Put the downloaded files (from point 1) in the "tagFiles"-folder and rename them | ||
+ | - Instruct WeatherCat to process those files (= translate tags to values) and put them into "processedFiles" | ||
+ | - Test if the files are correctly processed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We now will go through this process step-by-step. \\ | ||
+ | <wrap info > | ||
+ | Those users who are already uploading files to their wewb-server will know which steps to skip. | ||
+ | </wrap> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Point 2 and 3: Please put those folders in your documents folder or any other easy to reach place. But not in your web-site folder structure when you are running the web-server on the same mac as the WeatherCat program. First test if everything works before adapting the process to your specific needs. | ||
+ | ==== Step 4 - FTP settings ==== | ||
+ | In WeatherCat select menu WeatherCat => Preferences... => On-Line => Custom Web => Main | ||
+ | {{ :ftpwc1.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
+ | Click on button "Edit FTP Details" | ||
+ | {{ :ftpwc2.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
+ | Specify your user-name, password and the correct path to your upload folder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP important>Push the "Test" button and check if the test-file arrived on your web-site in the uploadWC folder. | ||
+ | </WRAP> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 5 - Store the tag-files ==== | ||
+ | Put the downloaded files from your download folder into the "tagFiles" folder.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | In WeatherCat select menu WeatherCat => Preferences... => On-Line => Custom Web => Additional files | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Step 6 - Instruct WeatherCat to process those files ==== | ||
+ | {{ :weathercat_ftp_upload.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now press the add button on the bottom right cornor.\\ | ||
+ | Push button "Set Path" and browse to your folder with the tagFiles. Select the file **realtimeTags.txt**, Set a mark in box **Enabled** and in box **FTP**. Also set the upload times in minutes. Use the image above as a guidline. Repeat this for every downloaded file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We then have to instruct WeatherCat the folder to put the processed file into. We do that on the first screen of this instruction: | ||
+ | In WeatherCat select menu WeatherCat => Preferences... => On-Line => Custom Web => Main | ||
+ | {{ :ftpwc1.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
+ | Press the button "Set Save Path" and go to the "processedFiles" folder you created in step 3. | ||
+ | If you do not process any other file, create an empty folder with the name "none" and specify this folder as the input folder after pressing the button "Set HTML source". | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Summary and test ==== | ||
+ | * We created a folder to contain our tag files | ||
+ | * Also a folder to contain the files as processed by WeatherCat | ||
+ | * We set our FTP settings correctly and tested them | ||
+ | * We instructed WeatherCat to use a custom website | ||
+ | * We instructed WeatherCat not to process any standard html pages (empty folder "none" => button "Set HTML source"). | ||
+ | * We instructed WeatherCat to process our 4 files and place the processed output in our "processedFiles" folder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Time for a test. Press the button "Test Web Pages locally". A separate window for every processed file will open. You will see values for the replaced tags. | ||
+ | And you can check the contents of the "processedFiles" folder which now also contains all other files needed. Only the 3 files you renamed will be uploaded together with all needed graphs whose name was specified in the wcGraphs.htx document. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The only thing which still has to be done is specifying extra graphs, if you want so. | ||
+ | ==== Graphs ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^names^used for^standard or user defined^ | ||
+ | |GRTEMPO$ GRDEW$ GRHUMO$\\ GRWINDCH$ GRHEATI$ GRSOLAR$\\ GRUV$ GRWINDD$ GRWINDS$\\ GRPRESSURE$ GRRAIN1$ GRRAIN24$\\ GRHUMI$ GRTEMPI$ |Steelseries |standard | | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$1$ CUSTOMGRAPH$2$ CUSTOMGRAPH$3$ CUSTOMGRAPH$4$ CUSTOMGRAPH$5$ |Station Graphs Page |user defined | | ||
+ | |||
+ | The custom graphs are displayed on this page: | ||
+ | {{ :weathercat_graphs.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the current script there are 5 possible tabs based on the availabillity of the extra sensors. The **Temperature** and **Wind/Rain** grpahs are always shown if the corresponding graphs are present. The remaining tabs are shown if an UV and or a solar sensor is available on your weatherstation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You have to create those graphs yourself. And you can adept thewebsdite script if you want to show other grpahs also. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^graph name ^uploaded as ^used for ^example ^ | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$1$|customgraph1.jpg |Temperature this week |{{:customgraph1.jpg?300|}}| | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$2$|customgraph2.jpg |Wind/Rain this week |{{:customgraph2.jpg?300|}}| | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$3$|customgraph3.jpg |Solar and UV last 3 days |{{:customgraph3.jpg?300|}}| | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$4$|customgraph4.jpg |Solar/Heat last 3 days |{{:customgraph4.jpg?300|}}| | ||
+ | |CUSTOMGRAPH$5$|customgraph5.jpg |UV/Heat last 3 days |{{:customgraph5.jpg?300|}}| | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== WeatherCat - Check all uploads ==== | ||
+ | Time to check if everything works OK. The uploadWC/ folder on your website should contain <wrap hi>recent copies</wrap> of: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * tags.wc.txt | ||
+ | * realtime.wc.txt | ||
+ | and all needed graphs. |
