Hi Wolfgang,

I've it working, in
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/vilacardona

[in the bottom of the page] but I need to dig into the program to see how to configure it. I looked at yours and I saw you defined multi-page information for it. Looks great!

I realized you have dashboard v1.4. I thought latest was v1.3 !

So far, it works under IE and powered by meteohub.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Chill

Hi Chill,

fine, that you got it to work.
Wow, very hot, where you live ;-)

If you increase the value for Data Refresh Rate to 30 seconds you will get rid of the
no data since
message with WDL. meteohub renews the data every 60 seconds, so there´s no need for WDL checking new data every 4 seconds ...

or you change the code manually:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <!-- Configuration generated automatically by WDL Configurator
-->
- <!-- Generated 09.08.2008 09:27:29
-->
- <configuration>
<wdlConfigGenVersion>1.0.7.3</wdlConfigGenVersion>
- <!-- Start of Basic settings
-->
<serialno>38</serialno>
<website>http://www.myway.de/honsolgen</website>
<refresh>30</refresh>
<webcamRefreshRate>120</webcamRefreshRate>
<compassHeading>3</compassHeading>
<language>german</language>


Dashboard 1.3 is the latest offcial version. I downloaded version 1.4 from DEMO menu here
look right <<<<<

But there´s no advantage in using 1.4 at the moment, I guess.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

You can have as many WDL applets as you on your website:
You only need to create a different wdlconfig.xml
Withe the new WDL configurator you can very quickly create an applet.
You can use the pre-defined examples in the templates folder of weather display live and change them how you like it.

BTW: I would recommend buying the Premium version of WDL, because with this version you have css allowing you to change color, font, etc...

Standard WDL is 40$
Premium is 65$ which is only 37€, because of the weak dollar :)

Well, it's no so hot, at least this summer.
I do live in Cardona, which is in the very center of Catalunya, so North East of Spain.

We were told we would get 40ºC last week, but it didn't.

I don't know how to design a web site: this one is my first one, but I feel the need to learn a language to improve this stuff.

I was missing a graphical tool to enhance the power meteohub gives us, and Boris came with WD. Good for him!

I appreciate the help you provided me!

Cheers,

Chill

Well - I am about ready to chuck Meteohub through the window as I think I have a defective model....

First my WD Live files were pretty much empty although it was publishing them....so I went in and resaved them to see if that fixed the template - well....whatever that save command did knocked it off the interent and now it will not reconnect to the internet.... I had no problems connecting yesterday - but now I've done everything I can think of and it won't connect...rebooted everything - reloaded software etc.... nothing - it just won't connect - everything seems to work fine - but no connection - I've just about had it and about ready to send the thing back..... Ughhh!!!!

AAMFlyer, don't panic! B)

What you say happens to many people most of the time. But next morning you realize it was a mistyping here or there..

I don't expect you have a defective model of a software.. it's pretty impossible.

What I do, when I have rested and with fresh mind, is read manual again, double check steps, ...

Good luck!

Thanks Chill! I did just that this morning and it's temporarily back up - I think it's a bug with the clock setting....but I have to reboot again tonight anyway - so we'll see if it comes back and reconnects.. I'll update later..

Well - now I'm back to my original problem - the clientraw WD Live files like hour and daily are all blank - Meteohub is not populating those files even though it is uploading them.....they are basically empty.... I'm using version 2.7.. Do I have to go in and create graph in the graph section for each one of these graphs or is WD Live creating the graphs from the data in the txt files.... If so - there is not data... hmmmmm Any suggestions!

Gregg
