hi clay, the extensions directory is the home of four sample extensions (fileparse, basic, pmon, xstats). it is *not* where extensions are installed. when you install an extension, its parts go into the appropriate place in a weewx installation, i.e., into the skins folder for skins, and into the user folder for any python code such as search list extensions, services, or drivers. the listing you posted shows user/xstats.py, skins/xstats/, and skins/xstats/skin.conf. how did those files get there? if they got there by installing using wee_extension, then 'wee_extension --list' will show xstats as an installed extension. if they got there by manually copying, then wee_extension won't know about them. they'll still work, but since you did not create the meta information used by wee_extension, wee_extension won't know about them. if you want to see the sample xstats skin, simply enable it in your weewx.conf if you want to use xstats in an existing skin, add it to the skin's search list extensions in the skin's skin.conf, and modify a template to use the xstats variables. see the xstats/skin.conf and xstats.html.tmpl for an example. m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
