install version 2.0 and thereafter you can use the simple updater if and when they are available .the current version 2.0 download as all the updates pre installed as of January 1st !
in the future simply download the update zip i.e 31FEB2020.zip and place it in the main folder where the template is installed on your server. the updater will find it and it will appear in the dropdown just select and click update.
don't use the updater for version 1.07A or earlier because the updater will only have a small amount of files with fixes for version 2.0 only.
This was was used for a short period in 1.07a to test and iron out any issues prior to January 1st 2020.
as it January 1st 2020 now or later the 2019 chart data is not used unless you modify the charts for your own personal use or preference to display last year or year before etc depending on many years you have been using I have it back to 2017 and sometime this year I will try and introduce charts to support previous years on a separate page like the alternative version charts but thats something for the future.
settings1.php is the file you need to keep a copy on your PC for keeping settings and using if you don't want to go through the setup procedure .just simply keep a copy on your desktop and upload it when you have done new install . No changes were made to the main settings1.php or setup screen.
Only the alternative layout had a minor change to setup screen based on 12/24 clock .
Im really sorry but as of tomorrow(Jan 2nd) morning Im not available for some weeks so I can't be of much assistance to help you or try and explain in easier terms.Ive done my best to prepare everything for January 1st 2020 and addressed the minor metric/non metric setting issues today but Im out of time for a while and could be longer I have had an offer of a 2 year deal to work on a project thankfully not weather related still digesting it and whether I want to make that commitment on a monday-friday basis kind of got used to my own time and doing things without obstacles of commitments to work schedules .
Sorry your confused or missing something but time is not on my side for now. Perhaps others can help there are quite a few knowledgeable experienced users around that have been a constant help for a few years now.
still confused ? probably even more so nowweather stuff is never straight forward in fact Im beginning to loathe it , it is a tedious task maintaining a template with all the complexity of non metric versus metric versus languages doesn't matter how hard I try always something pops it head up and think to myself how did that occur ,how did I mess that up because its generally me that screws up
can only say always allow a bit of time to learn and become accustom too to something new unfortunately Im not the best educator I just tend to do it rather than explain it . Brian...
