| + | ===== WeatherLink - What to upload and how ===== | ||
| + | This document is based on the Windows version of WeatherLink. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I am not aware of any real WeatherLink manual on-line or in a PDF file. Maybe its a good moment to check the help file on the install CD again. | ||
| + | ==== Assumptions ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The following assumptions are made for all text / examples on this page about locations of data: | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **StationName** used below is the name you assigned to your station in the setup of WeatherLink. | ||
| + | You can see that name also in the top part of the WeatherLink window after the date field. | ||
| + | ^what ^where ^ | ||
| + | |WeatherLink is installed in: |C:\WeatherLink | | ||
| + | |Files to be uploaded are stored then in: |C:\WeatherLink\**StationName**\Templates | | ||
| + | |Default upload folder on your webserver:\\ %%www.your-web-site.com/%% |weather28/uploadWL/ | | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - Which files are needed ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^file to be used for^WeatherLink name^where to get that file^template file name^upload frequency ^ | ||
| + | |**Weather-data values for all pages of the template** |tags.wl.htx |scriptsWL/ |tags.wl.txt |5 minutes| | ||
| + | |Yesterday values |tagsyday.wl.htx |::: |tagsyday.wl.txt |at 23:55 | | ||
| + | |**Realtime weather-data values for all pages of the template **|realtimev3.htx |::: |realtimev3.txt |every minute| | ||
| + | |**Graphs, based on type and availability of sensors:** ||||| | ||
| + | |trend and graph page |built in |built in |multiple |see example | | ||
| + | |Steelseries |::: |::: |::: |::: | | ||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - put the files in the weather-program folder ==== | ||
| + | You have to download the three files from the scriptsWL/ folder (using your standard FTP program) and put them in the C:\WeatherLink\**StationName**\Templates folder on your PC where you are running WeatherLink. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - ftp settings ==== | ||
| + | <WRAP alert 100%>Here you find only basic information on the setup of WeatherLink. Please study the documentation and /or ask your questions on the VWS specific parts of the forum.</WRAP> | ||
| + | {{ :wl_ftp.jpg?direct |}} | ||
| + | In this image you see all fields you should set. Your provider should has given you the details and the how-to. The default upload folder is weather28/uploadWL/ \\ | ||
| + | <wrap important >Sometimes you have to add extra information before the path, such as /html_public/ or /httpdocs/ </wrap> | ||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - individual file upload settings ==== | ||
| + | Now we are going to instruct WeatherLink to upload the files we need for the template. | ||
| + | In WeatherLink go to: | ||
| + | * menu⇒Setup | ||
| + | * select Internet Settings | ||
| + | * select an empty Profiles and | ||
| + | * click button =>Configure | ||
| + | You can now set the number of minutes between uploads and the new extension Weatherlink have to use for the file to be uploaded. | ||
| + | You can than enter the files to upload by clicking on Select Template files. | ||
| + | {{ :wl_upload1.jpg?direct |}} | ||
| + | <WRAP important> | ||
| + | One can only use 1 file type (php or xml or txt) per profile. Also 1 frequency (every n minutes) is possible. | ||
| + | You need at least | ||
| + | *1 profile for yesterday value (at 23.55 once per day) | ||
| + | *1 profile for current weather values, every 5 minutes with extension php. | ||
| + | *1 profile every minute for Steelseries gauges | ||
| + | </WRAP> | ||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - yesterday values ==== | ||
| + | One file is a more special. The yesterday values are not kept by WeatherLink directly. | ||
| + | Todays min/max are. So what we do (invented by Ken True of Saratoga.weather.org) is to use todays minimum and maximum values just before the end of the day. | ||
| + | So at 23:55 (11:55 PM) we ask WeatherLink to upload a file with todays values and use that the next day as yesterday values. And after 23:59 they realy become yesterday values. | ||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - Station graphs ==== | ||
| + | The template uses some graphs for the page: Almanac==>Station Graphs separate | ||
| + | If you want to use that page go to: | ||
| + | * menu⇒Setup then | ||
| + | * select Internet Settings then | ||
| + | * select an empty Profiles and | ||
| + | * click button =>Configure | ||
| + | * Below the Historical Data Images box click Select. | ||
| + | Select all graphs as in the folowing image: | ||
| + | {{ :wl_upload3.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
| + | ==== WeatherLink - Steelseries graphs ==== | ||
| + | Same procedure for the Steelseries graphs, but now we select the Current Images to upload. | ||
| + | {{ :wl_upload2.jpg?nolink |}} | ||
