Off the top of my head, I can think of three ways to do this. Needless to say, none of them is tested.
1. It's not very elegant, but you could monkey patch ValueHelper. See this email exchange <https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/IKkVo4TIcfw/m/sxCt4OiNCAAJ>. 2 Alternatively, you can write a search list extension dedicated to doing what you want. It would look like: <p>The current wind direction is $long_ordinal($current.windDir.raw> </p> 3. Use a map in your template to map from the abbreviated ordinals, to the long version: #set ord_map = {'N': 'North', 'NNE': 'North Northeast', ... } <p>The current wind direction is $ord_map[$current.windDir.ordinal_compass]</p> -tk On Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 2:02 PM Chris Alemany <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > Is it possible to be able to add a full word version of the > ordinal_compass formatting for wind directions?
