I think that the steps I need to follow to get back to there are to 1. install xstats.py in the correct place and 2. put the two files above (index.html.tmpl and alltime.html.tmpl) into the skins folder and all should work fine.....have I missed anything? That's about it, but you will also need to tell WeeWX to generate alltime.html, I alluded to this further down my 2019 post but did not give any specifics. All you need do is edit the skin config file for your Standard skin and add a couple of lines to the [CheetahGenerator] [[ToDate]] stanza. Where that file is will depend on how you installed WeeWX. You've found weewx.conf, have a look in the directory containing weewx.conf and you should find a skins/Standard directory, that is where skin.conf should be. Edit skin.conf and insert the highlighted lines as follows: [CheetahGenerator] .... [[ToDate]] .... [[[year]]] template = year.html.tmpl [[[alltime]]] template = alltime.html.tmpl Once you have installed xstats, created alltime.tmpl.html and modified skin.conf WeeWX will automatically start generating alltime.tmpl - no need for a restart. I should be able to find xstats.py in /user/share/doc/weewx/examples.....but as you will see from the attached screenshot.....that folder does not exist.....what am I missing? Another v5 change I'm afraid. Again the location of the examples (and xstats) depends on how you installed WeeWX. Have a look in the directory containing weewx.conf, you should see a directory named examples; that is where you should find the xstats directory. Read the readme.txt, it has been updated for v5, and (again) I expect you will want to follow the manual install instructions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
