Hi Darryn, Peter, Dropping weewx-user from the reply all list, adding weewx-development as the (probably) more appropriate place for this post.
Firstly, Nice work Darryn. The page *is* responsive and the forecasts all being in the one place and accessible like this saves a lot of clicks. ---- The following are my notes on the installation of Darryn's Responsive skin at https://github.com/dcapslock/weewx-responsive-skin and its inclusion of the BOM Australian forecasts. The original thread is over on weewx-user at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/weewx-user/-Rf9A_5Okds Current installation instructions are at https://github.com/dcapslock/ weewx-responsive-skin/wiki/Australian-'Search'-Extensions ======================= Dependency to install - python-tz to remedy **** ImportError: No module named pytz Needed only for the timezone? so it might dissappear when the ToDo entry regarding time is ticked off? [...] Oct 9 09:25:40 masterofpis weewx[14358]: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/user/aussearch.py", line 2, in <module> Oct 9 09:25:40 masterofpis weewx[14358]: **** import pytz Oct 9 09:25:40 masterofpis weewx[14358]: **** ImportError: No module named pytz Oct 9 09:25:40 masterofpis weewx[14358]: **** Generator terminated pi@masterofpis:~$ sudo apt-get install python-tz Ah, and edited aussearch.py to swap out Sydney for Melbourne, even though we are the same timezone. ======================= Couldn't find anything to fix the cself error (see below) so I used mkdir to circumvent the call. What is cself? I couldn't find a reference to it anywhere Searched Debian packages with no joy - google turned up zilch. mkdir /var/lib/weewx/aussearch [...] Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** self.initExtensions(gen_dict[section_name]) Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/cheetahgenerator.py", line 188, in initExtensions Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** self.search_list_objs.append(class_(self)) Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** File "/usr/share/weewx/user/aussearch.py", line 89, in __init__ Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** os.makedirs(cself.cache_root) Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** NameError: global name 'cself' is not defined Oct 9 09:50:32 masterofpis weewx[18899]: **** Generator terminated try: self.cache_root = self.generator.skin_dict[' AusSearch']['cache_root'] except KeyError: self.cache_root = '/var/lib/weewx/aussearch' try: self.staleness_time = float(self.generator.skin_ dict['AusSearch']['staleness_time']) except KeyError: self.staleness_time = 15 * 60 #15 minutes if not os.path.exists(self.cache_root): os.makedirs(cself.cache_root) ================ Now, the pointy end of the stick. This took quite a while to do as I'm a little different to the Capital city example - I'm in Regional Victoria - so the page layouts don't quite correlate. Plus there is a lot of substituting to do and Cheetah is not very friendly when a mistake is made. I have it working though, well enough to get a result that makes sense. There will always be tweaking and a search for better source pages amongst the myriad of files the BOM have listed, but I'm pretty happy with the result so far. Something I need to do is duplicate the detailed forecast page and introduce a second forecast area. Where we live falls between two zones so the forecasts can be quite different, especially between work and home! Because the pages didn't correlate (SYDNEY had 2 identities depending on whether forecast.html.tmpl or index-forecast. tmpl was being populated); I ended up giving them different names, ones that reflected the section that they were filling. That made it a lot easier after I realized what was happening, where it was displaying the full forecast in the index summary. This way I could allocate each area its own xxx.xml source file. The variable names I used are as follows... NSWMETRO -> BOMAROUND named, and used to populate the "Around XXX" table in forecast.html (forecast.html.tmpl) SYDNEY -> BOMDETAIL named and used to populate the "Detailed Forecast" table in forecast.html (forecast.html.tmpl) SYDNEY -> BOMSUMMARY named and used to populate the "Forecast" table in index.forecast (index-forecast.tmpl) NSWWARNING -> BOMWARNING just to follow the pattern - Bureau(BOM)|Description(WARNING) BOMAROUND = ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDV10753.xml BOMDETAIL = ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDV10705.xml BOMSUMMARY = ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDV10753.xml BOMWARNINGS = http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDZ00066.warnings_land_vic.xml As it turns out I could use (my) BOMDETAIL in place of BOMSUMMARY (just as originally done) but edits are required in index-forecast.tmpl line 48 which was... -<strong>$FC.getNode('forecast-period',index=$fcIndex).text</strong> needs changing to... +<strong>$FC.getNode('forecast-period',index=$fcIndex).getNode('text',type=" precis")</strong> which then picks up the short summary from the supplied BOMDETAIL. That's a bit more involved than creating a new variable (BOMSUMMARY) though, especially if you're new to editing, or it's not your day job. The diffs between Parramatta and Ballarat's configs are available in the attachments to this post. I should add that the "nearby" towns in the forecast.html page do need to be adjusted as they are nowhere near us. They served well as place fillers though. ================ appTemp - I haven't looked at this yet but I gather that this was fixed or something in 3.6.0 - which I'm now running. It appears to be baulking because I don't have that field in the database, so I've got a lot more research to do it would seem.
